On the clash between the traditional culture and the ＂fast food＂ culture from a perspective of internet language

With the development of the Internet, the Internet language-a new social variant of language comes into being. Owing to its distinctive features, the Internet language draws extensive attention and evokes dispute. Should we make laws to restrict its development or be magnanimous and tolerant？ The present authors think that the dispute reflects the clash between the traditional culture and the ＂fast food＂ culture. The two cultures would co-exist harmoniously and co-develop healthily only if we cherish the law in the development of language and grasp the indirect correlation between them.

Determination of Seven Volatile N-Nitrosamines in Fast Food

In this study, various fast food samples, including raw meat, cured meat, grilled meat, fried meat, smoked meat and canned meat products, were analyzed for the determination of the seven volatile N-nitrosamines. The samples were treated with an aqueous sodium hydroxide (NaOH) by autoclaving at 121°C for 10 min and extracted by liquid-liquid extraction with dichloromethane, and then the nitrosamines were pre-concentrated by using activated silica. Then, gas chromatography coupled with flame ionization detector was used for the separation and determination of the different nitrosamines contained in a real sample. The applied method allowed the determination of nitrosamine compounds at trace levels with limit of detection ranging from 0.077 to 0.18 ppb, and quantitation limits were from 0.26 to 0.60 ppb for all nitrosamines. The total concentrations of the seven nitrosamines in the studied meat samples ranged from 2.60 to 13.28 μg/kg.

Plasma Ghrelin, PYY and CCK Concentration Following Indonesian Fast Food and Western Fast Food in Obese Participant

This study aimed to compare the acute effect of different fast food types on appetite regulatory hormones. This was a randomized, cross over design study. After ten-hour fasting, sixteen obese participants (Body Mass Index 33.6 ± 4.8 kg/m2) received Indonesia Fast Food (IFF) followed Western Fast Food (WFF) after 1 week wash out. Both of fast foods have similar energy content but higher fat content on WFF vs IFF. Plasma ghrelin, Peptide YY (PYY) and Cholecystokinin (CCK) were measured at 30, 60 and 120 minutes after ingestions. The investigation revealed that the change of plasma ghrelin level was lower on participant consuming WFF in 120 minutes vs IFF (P < 0.05). The change of plasma PYY showed significantly higher among participant on 60 minutes following WFF vs IFF (P < 0.05). The change of plasma CCK level is lower in 30, 60 and 120 minutes after consuming WFF vs IFF (all, P < 0.001). The appetite response regarding “desire to eat” was higher after consuming IFF vs WFF. This study suggested that IFF induced feeling “want to eat” higher than WFF also induced the increasing orexigenic hormone, ghrelin, but the effects on the anorexigenic hormone (PYY) and CCK were opposite.

Highest level of protein was detected in Chilli chicken at 27.3 ~ 5.01 g per serving. Protein of Chilli chicken supplied approximately 29% of the total energy content per serving. Maximum amount of fat was also found in Chilli ckicken （35.5 ~ 31.89 g/plat）. Total fat contribution of Chilli ckicken to the total energy per serving found to be approximately 67%. Highest level of carbohydrate was detected in Idli at 15.0 ~ 9.18 g per serving of sample which contributed approximately 91% of the total energy content per serving. From this study it was concluded that street fast foods provide an appreciable amount of recommended nutrient composition. It could be observed in this study that street fast foods supply appreciable amount of nutrients and calories to the people of Patna.

Monitoring of Escherichia coli, Salmonella spp. and Staphylococci in Poultry Meat-Based Fast Food in Saudi Arabia

An investigation was made to survey the possible presence of Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Salmonella spp. from fast-food shops in Al-Ahsa Province, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), as potential reservoir of human infection and antimicrobial resistance. A total of 100 samples of shawarma poultry meat were collected from different localities of the province. Conventional, commercial VITEK 2 and molecular techniques were used for isolates’ identification and antibiogram detection. Staph aureus was isolated at a rate of 14% and CNS as Staph. sciuri and Staph. xylosus at 2%. E. coli was identified at a rate of 12% and antibiogram analysis showed 41.67% of isolates to be extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBL) with evidence of multi-drug resistance (MDR). Molecular analysis of E. coli revealed presence of sero-groups O1 and O2, entero-toxigenic (ETEC), shiga-toxigenic, ST540 and the prototypical ETEC strain H10407 which are potential public health hazard. Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis showed 19% prevalence while S. Typhimurium with 8% prevalence. Anti-microbial sensitivity of 15 strains of S. Enteritidis and 5 strains of S.

The Relationship between Consumption of Fast Food with Level of Serum Folat among Nursing Students of Islamic Azad University, Tehran Medical Sciences Branch in 2016

In recent decades, substantial increase in average weight of individuals has been seen in rich countries. Such changes are the result of significant changes in pattern of people’s lives. One of these issues is increasing levels in consumption of fast foods or processed foods. According to experts, the consumption of processed foods, because of having high-calories and trans-fatty acids, is fattening and harmful. In this study, the researchers after obtaining permission from the ethics committee and head of the School of Nursing, introduced themselves to nursing students then, samples were randomly selected among those who are eligible for the study. Before performing to complete the questionnaire and relevant experiments, testimonial were asked from the subjects. At the end of the study, results were suggested that, levels of Serum folate between males and females and also among married and single people were equivalent. Level of Serum folate among those students who usually have anemia in their families is significantly lower than those ones who have not anemia in their families (P = 0.003). There was a significant relationship between age and semester with levels of folate (P i.e. by increasing age and educational terms, levels of serum folate would be reduced. The level of serum folate among students who smoke is lesser than those do not (P = 0.001).

4-Hydroxynonenal (HNE), a Toxic Aldehyde in Fried Chicken from Fast Food Restaurants and a Grocery Store

The lipid oxidation product, the toxic 4-hydroxynonenal, was measured for fried chicken in commercial samples from two fast food restaurants and one commercial establishment. The fried chicken samples were breasts, thighs, chicken nuggets and popcorn chicken. Fried chicken samples were separated to breast skin and meat, and thigh skin and meat. Chicken nuggets and popcorn chicken were not separated from the coating materials and the meat was analyzed together. Samples were analyzed for total fat, fatty acid distribution, reactivity with thiobarbituric acid (TBAR), measuring the secondary lipid peroxidation products such as aldehydes, ketones and related carbonyl compounds. Samples were analyzed for HNE, a toxic aldehyde using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Fatty acid distribution showed in breast and thigh meats, a higher level of palmitic acid, compared to the breast and thigh skins. TBAR values were significantly higher in all breast meats compared to skins. TBAR values were significantly higher in thigh meat than in skin samples. HNE concentrations (μg HNE/g fat) were significantly very low in breast skins compared to breast meat. HNE concentration was generally higher in thigh meat than skin but not in every sample. In chicken nuggets, both the TBAR value and HNE concentration were much higher from one establishment than from the two others. Chicken nuggets TBAR and HNE concentrations resembled one of the chicken nugget samples. The average toxic HNE concentration for 100 g fried chicken breast (skins + meat) was 12.55 μg and for thighs (skin + meat) was 26.76 μg. The average total HNE concentration was 2.1 times higher in the fried chicken thighs than in the breasts. It is clear that HNE is produced during the heating process of oils and incorporated into the fried meat and skin samples during the frying process. If HNE, a toxic aldehyde, is consumed with the food, over long periods of time it could be related to a number of pathological conditions.

Guangzhou's Baozai Meal a Popular Fast Food

IN Guangzhou, where restaurants are plentiful and food from many places is served, the baozai meal, a kind of traditional Chinese fast food, has retained its place in the hearts of Guangzhou’s caterers. The history of the baozai meal starts at least from the beginning of this century. By the end of the Qing Dynasty, Guangzhou was the largest trading port in south China with a developed, commodities-based economy. There were many dockworkers and porters living in the city at the time. They worked very hard and were often too busy to eat their meals at home. As a result, different kinds of meals were invented to meet their needs, such as the botou meal (bo is kind of earthen bowl), the dietou meal (die is small plate) and the baozai

Commercial Bakery, Fast-Food, and Soft Drink Consumption and Quality of Life in the SUN Project

Objective: Few studies have related nutritional factors with quality of life in healthy populations. Our aim was to analyze the relationship between commercial bakery, fast food or soft drinks consumption and mental and physical quality of life. Study Design: This analysis included 8335 participants from the 'Seguimiento Universidad de Navarra' (SUN) Project (a multipurpose, dynamic cohort). Methods: The consumption of commercial bakery, fast food and soft drinks was assessed through a validated food-frequency questionnaire at baseline. Quality of life was measured after 4 years of follow-up with the Short-Form 36 (SF-36) Health Survey. Generalized Linear Models were fit to assess the regression coefficients (b) and their 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) for the association between commercial bakery, fast food and soft drinks consumption and each domain and the two standardized measures of the SF-36. Results: As compared to the participants in the lowest quintile of consumption, those participants in the highest quintile of consumption of commercial bakery, fast food and soft drinks showed a score significantly lower (>2 points) for vitality (b = -2.14, 95% CI = -3.31 to -0.96), role emotional (b = -2.23, 95% CI = -4.33 to -0.13), and role physical (b = -2.31, 95% IC = -4.26 to -0.36) domains with statistically significant dose-response relationships (p for trend < 0.05). When the food groups were analysed separately, significant inverse associations were found only for commercial bakery and fast-food consumption. Conclusions: The results suggest that high consumption of commercial bakery, fast-food and soft drinks at baseline was associated with worse scores on self-perceived quality of life. This association was stronger for the mental domains of the SF-36.
