It was not clear whether body fat factors could mediate the association between nut consumption, glucose/insulin metabolism and inflammatory markers and this is what the study examined.
The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) published the Reasoned Opinion on “Review of the existing maximum residue levels for napropamide according to Article 12 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005”.
Aging is associated with a decline in many biological systems, including the musculoskeletal system, which may result in impaired physical functioning. For that reason, this study examined the association between nut intake and the risk of impaired physical function, such as agility, mobility, grip strength, gait speed and overall physical function in elderly volunteers.
The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) published the Reasoned Opinion on “Review of the existing maximum residue levels for myclobutanil according to Article 12 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005”.
This recent study published in the journal Nutrients examined the potential benefits of almond vs. cracker snacking in improving blood sugar and cholesterol levels in new college students. A total of 73 students were randomized into either an almond snack group (56.7 g/day) or a cracker control group (77.5 g/day). Participants consumed their snacks on an average of 6 days per week over the 8-week intervention. Some outcomes as glucose, insulin, lipid profile, among others, were assessed during the intervention period.
On July 25, 2018, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) published the 2016 European Union Report on Pesticide Residues in Food, finding that more than 96% of the samples analyzed were found to be within legal limits; around 51% were free of any quantifiable residues.
At the China International Tree Nut Conference held in Zhuhai, on August 1-3, 2018, the subjective Walnut Crop estimate was set by Representing Councils at 830,000 metric tons. Representatives from the regions of Yunnan, Xinjiang, Shanxi, Hebei, Gamsu, Henan and Shaanxi reported a crop similar to last year’s final receipt of 840,000 MT.
The Agriculture and Livestock Service of Chile (SAG) notified the World Trade Organization of the entry into force of the phytosanitary requirements for the importation of in-shell peanuts (Arachis hypogea).
BACKGROUND: Portion and package sizes of foods generally influence energy intake in children and adults. However, little is known about this effect in older adults. This study aimed to determine the effect of increasing package size on usage volume of peanut butter in older adults. Furthermore, it is investigated whether older women and men, different […]
This study was performed to determine the storage stability of organophosphorus pesticide residues in high oil content commodity matrices, peanut and soya bean. The storage conditions included different types of solvents (ethyl acetate, acetone and hexane) and corresponding extracted matrix solutions, light and temperature. It was found that three pesticides degraded quickly especially in ethyl acetate solvent. […]
