Thermal properties of some selected nigerian soups

A preliminary investigation was carried out on the thermal properties of “Ewedu” (Corchorusolitorus), “Ila” (Hibiscus esculentus), “Ogbono” (Irvingia gabonensis) and ” Kuka” (Adansonia digitata) soups, because information on the thermal properties of these soups has not been established. The specific heat capacity, thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity parameters were determined as a function of their proximate compositions by applying additivity principles. The proximate composition obtained for the soups were: ewedu (moisture content;88.60 ± 0.14%, protein;6.00 ± 0.01%, fat;1.05 ± 0.05%, ash;1.81 ± 0.01%, crude fiber;1.47 ± 0.02%, carbohydrate;1.05 ± 0.04% and energy 34.27 ± 1.89 k/cal/10 g), Ila (moisture content;77.25 ± 0.35%, protein;15.94 ± 0.08%, fat;2.13 ± 0.04%, ash;1.90 ± 0.14%, crude fiber;1.15 ± 0.07%, carbohydrate;1.48 ± 0.11% and energy 87.61 ± 3.31 k/cal/10 g), Ogbono (moisture content;68.87 ± 0.14%, protein;18.70 ± 0.42%, fat;6.12 ± 0.11%, ash;4.55 ± 021%, crude fiber;1.04 ± 0.60%, carbohydrate;1.90 ± 0.01% and energy;133.08 ± 0.60 k/cal/10 g) and Kuka (moisture content;78.54 ± 0.06%, protein;8.80 ± 0.41%, fat;2.29 ± 0.01%, ash;2.09 ± 0.01%, crude fiber;0.88 ± 0.02%, carbohydrate;7.42 ± 0.08% and energy 85.64 ± 0.17 k/cal/10 g). The specific heat capacity, thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity for the soups were;ewedu (3.851 kJ/ kg/K, 0.530 W/m/K and 1.358 x 10-7 m2/s), Ila (3.554 ± 0.01 kJ/kg/K, 0.483 W/m/K and 1.281 x 10-7 m2/s), ogbono (3.332 kJ/kg/K, 0.447 W/m/K and 1.220 x 10-7 m2/s) and kuka (3.586 kJ/kg/K, 0.494 W/m/K and 1.296 x 10-7 m2/s)respectively. The values obtained for the thermal properties showed that the soups can mildly retain or dissipate heat during canning and freezing.

Effector mechanism of Yunnan medicine “Yiqi Tongluo soup” in alleviating diabetic peripheral neuropathy by promoting autophagy

Objective:This study aimed to evaluate the effector mechanism of Yiqi Tongluo soup in alleviating diabetic peripheral neuropathy.Methods:Thirty male SD rats were divided into the control group,mode1 group,and Yiqi Tongluo group.Each group consists of 10 rats.Except for the normal group,a high-sugar and high-fat diet combined with streptozocin injection were administered to the groups to constnuct the type 2 diabetes mellitus model.Then,6.48 g/kg of Yiqi Tongluo soup was administered to the Yiqi Tongluo group every day by gavage.An equal volume of physiological saline was administered to the control and model groups every day by gavage.During the experiment,changes in blood glucose and nerve conduction velocity were monitored in all groups.After the experiment,hematoxylin and eosin and luxol fast blue staining were carried out,and morphological changes in the sciatic nerve and myelin sheath in all groups were observed.Western blot was used to observe changes in expression levels of autophagy related proteins,Beclin-1,LC3,and P62.Results:Blood glucose significantly increased,and nerve conduction velocity significantly decreased in the model group.Yiqi Tongluo soup significantly decreased blood glucose level while simultaneously increasing nerve conduction velocity.Hematoxylin and eosin and luxol fast blue myelin sheath staining results showed that Yiqi Tongluo soup could improve sciatic nerve disorder,irregular myelin sheath morphology,and demyelination in type 2 diabetes mellitus rats.Western blot results showed that Beclin-1 and LC3I/LC3I expression levels in the model group significantly decreased,while P62 level significantly increased.Compared with the model group,Beclin-1 and LC3II/LC3I expression levels significantly increased and P62 levels significantly decreased in the Yiqi Tongluo group.Conclusion:Yiqi Tongluo soup can inhibit diabetic peripheral neuropathy by increasing autophagy.

Investigation of Oxalate Levels in Sorrel Plant Parts and Sorrel-Based Products

The oxalate content of the leaves and stems of green and variegated cultivars of sorrel (Rumex acetosa) were extracted and measured using HPLC chromatography. The larger, more mature leaves of both cultivars contained higher levels of total, soluble and insoluble oxalates. The stems also contained appreciable levels of oxalates. The mean soluble oxalate content of the variegated leaves was 14.7%, which was significantly higher than found in the leaves of the green-leaved cultivar (11.9%). The proportion of soluble oxalate to total oxalate in the stems ranged from 12.7% to 24.4% for both cultivars. Sorrel sprouts contained a much higher proportion of soluble oxalates than the green sorrel leaves but were similar in oxalate content to the variegated leaves. Pesto and soup made from sorrel leaves retained their characteristic sour taste despite containing much lower levels of oxalates. The levels of oxalates in sorrel leaves were high and it was recommended that the leaves should be consumed occasionally as a delicacy because of their unique taste rather than as a significant part of the diet. However, the products made from sorrel leaves were less of a problem as they contained lower levels of oxalates.

Relationship between Dietary Habits and Plasma Homocysteine Concentrations in Elderly Japanese Women and Men

The plasma homocysteine concentration is a good indicator of various diseases such as cardiovascular disease, stroke, and dementia. This study examined the relationship between plasma homocysteine concentrations and dietary habits in a population of elderly Japanese people from the Amami Islands. Data from 1131 participants collected during a baseline survey for the Japan Multi-institutional Collaborative Cohort study, which is a prospective cohort study, were used. Information on dietary habits was collected using a food frequency questionnaire. The plasma homocysteine concentration was associated with age in women only. Smoking in men and menopause were significantly associated with homocysteine concentrations. Analysis of blood biochemical data showed that estimate of glomerular filtration rate negatively correlated with plasma homocysteine in women (R = ?0.91, p < 0.001) and men (R = ?0.49, p < 0.001). There was no common food associated with homocysteine concentrations among the groups, but in each group, some food types were associated with homocysteine concentrations. In men, Chinese tea was a common factor showing a negative correlation with homocysteine concentrations. Natto showed a negative correlation with homocysteine concentrations in non-smoking men (β = ?0.11, p < 0.05) and premenopausal women (β = ?0.20, p < 0.01). Eggs (β = ?0.21, p < 0.01) and food processed from fish eggs (β = ?0.21, p < 0.01) negatively correlated with homocysteine concentrations in smoking men. Miso soup (β = ?0.13, p < 0.01) and yoghurt (β = ?0.10, p < 0.05) negatively correlated with homocysteine concentrations in postmenopausal women. Consumption of folate-rich food did not necessarily correlate with a low plasma Hcy concentration.

Preparation of Dried Vegetarian Soup Supplemented with Some Legumes

The present work was aimed to prepare dried vegetarian soup supplemented with some legumes. Potatoes, hull-less barley flour, carrot, tomatoes, onion, garlic, salt, black pepper, coriander and cumin (served as F1) were used in combination with lentil, green pea and chickpea to formulate F2, F3, and F4, respectively. Chemical, physical, rheological and sensory evaluation was performed. The results indicated that supplementation with legumes significantly enhanced the nutritional characteristics, where the dried vegetarian soup mixtures had reasonable amounts of the required nutrients particularly, protein, carbohydrates, fats, Fe and Zn with good in vitro protein digestibility and mineral availability. Moisture content and water activity predicted the extended shelf-life and stability of the dried soup mixtures. The four resultant soup samples F1, F2, F3 and F4 had a noticeable viscosity pattern characterized by a non-Newtonian pseudoplastic flow behavior. Supplementation with legumes significantly (p ≤ 0.05) affects taste, color, flavor attributes and overall acceptability of the resultant soup samples. But, it had no significant effect on thickness and appearance. The results clearly demonstrated the usefulness of supplementing the dried vegetarian soup mixtures with legumes to enhance nutritional and technological quality of the resultant soup and lentil was the most valuable addition with the highest acceptability.
