β-glucans: Ex vivo inflammatory and oxidative stress results after pasta intake
2016
Background: It is well known that Mediterranean Diet can positively influence the health of each individual, in particular it is know that fibers have an important role. However, in Mediterranean cities most people do not have a close adherence to Mediterranean diet. Thus, in our study, we considered fibers like β-glucans that have been added to pasta with a percentage of 6 %. Our study aimed to evaluate the capacity of β-glucans intake on oxidative stress and inflammation in a cohort of middle aged slightly overweight subjects. Methods: We used a longitudinal study design. The study lasted 30 days during which time, each participant acted with no food restriction. Participants underwent mo…
Functional, textural and sensory properties of dry pasta supplemented with lyophilized tomato matrix or with durum wheat bran extracts produced by su…
2016
A study was carried out to produce functional pasta by adding bran aqueous extract (BW) and bran oleoresin (BO) obtained using ultrasound and supercritical CO2, respectively, or a powdery lyophilized tomato matrix (LT). The bioactive compounds, hydrophilic and lipophilic antioxidant activity (HAA and LAA) in vitro, were evaluated. BW supplementation did not improve antioxidant activity, whilst LT pasta showed unconventional taste and odor. BO pasta had good levels of tocochromanols (2551 μg/100 g pasta f.w.) and carotenoids (40.2 μg/100 g pasta f.w.), and the highest HAA and LAA. The oleoresin altered starch swelling and gluten network, as evidenced by scanning electron microscopy, therefor…
Trīsgadīgu bērnu vārdu krājuma pilnveides iespējas dabas vērojumu procesā
2018
Bakalaura darba temats: Trīsgadīgu bērnu vārdu krājuma pilnveides iespējas dabas vērojuma procesā. Bakalaura darba autors: Kristīne Greļa Pētījuma mērķis: Teorētiski analizēt un pētīt 3 gadīgu bērnu vārdu krājuma pilnveides iespējas dabas pastaigu procesā. Darbs sastāv no divām daļām: 1.Darba pirmajā daļā tiek analizēta zinātniskā literatūra par valodas fenomenu. Kā valoda tiek traktēta no psiholoģijas, pedagoģijas un valodniecības skatu punktiem. Būtisks uzsvars tiek likts uz valodas nozīmi bērna attīstībā, svarīgākie valodas attīstības un pilnveides vecumposmi. Bērnu vārdu krājums ir atkarīgs no apkārtējās vides, gan mikro, gan makro vidē. 2.Otrajā daļā tiek izklāstītas pētījuma metožu iz…
Pareizas stājas stiprināšanas iespējas pastaigas laikā 3 - 4 gadus veciem bērniem
2021
Kvalifikācijas darba tēma: Pareizas stājas stiprināšanas iespējas pastaigas laikā 3-4 gadus veciem bērniem. Darba teorētiskajā daļā analizēta literatūra par fizisko aktivitāšu nozīmi bērnu attīstības procesā un pastaigu organizēšanas raksturojumu pirmsskolā. Izvērtēti 3-4 gadus vecu bērnu pareizas stājas kritēriji, lai skolotājs var kvalitatīvāk organizēt bērnu pastaigas. Par teorētisko atziņu bāzi kalpoja tādu zinātnieku pētījumi kā R. Karlovska (2003, 2010), M. Kļujevs, J. Kocs (1997), V. Golubina (2007), K. Hustyi, M. Normand, T. Larson, & A. Morley (2012). L. Saveļjeva (2015) u.c. Empīriskajā pētījuma daļā tika novērtēti bērni 3-4 gadus vecumā pēc noteiktiem kritērijiem, pastaigu laikā …
Multi-occurrence of twenty mycotoxinsin pasta and a risk assessment in the moroccan population
2018
In the present study, the multi-occurrence of twenty (20) mycotoxins in pasta samples consumed in Morocco was assessed. For this, a modified Quick, Easy, Cheap Effective, Rugged, and Safe method was validated. The mycotoxins studied were identified and quantified by liquid chromatography&ndash
Pasta consumption and connected dietary habits: Associations with glucose control, adiposity measures, and cardiovascular risk factors in people with…
2019
Background: Pasta is a refined carbohydrate with a low glycemic index. Whether pasta shares the metabolic advantages of other low glycemic index foods has not really been investigated. The aim of this study is to document, in people with type-2 diabetes, the consumption of pasta, the connected dietary habits, and the association with glucose control, measures of adiposity, and major cardiovascular risk factors. Methods: We studied 2562 participants. The dietary habits were assessed with the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) questionnaire. Sex-specific quartiles of pasta consumption were created in order to explore the study aims. Results: A higher pasta con…
Mycotoxin Occurrence and Risk Assessment in Gluten-Free Pasta through UHPLC-Q-Exactive Orbitrap MS
2021
Celiac disease (CD) is a genetic-based autoimmune disorder which is characterized by inflammation in the small intestinal mucosa due to the intolerance to gluten. Celiac people should consume products without gluten, which are elaborated mainly with maize or other cereals. Contamination of cereals with mycotoxins, such as fumonisins (FBs) and aflatoxins (AFs) is frequently reported worldwide. Therefore, food ingestion is the main source of mycotoxin exposure. A new analytical method was developed and validated for simultaneous analysis of 21 mycotoxins in gluten-free pasta, commonly consumed by celiac population as an alternative to conventional pasta. Ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatog…
Different effectiveness of two pastas supplemented with either lipophilic or hydrophilic/phenolic antioxidants in affecting serum as evaluated by the…
2017
Effectiveness in improving serum antioxidant status of two functional pastas was evaluated by the novel Antioxidant/ Oxidant Balance (AOB) parameter, calculated as Antioxidant Capacity (AC)/Peroxide Level ratio, assessed here for the first time. In particular, Bran Oleoresin (BO) and Bran Water (BW) pastas, enriched respectively with either lipophilic (tocochromanols, carotenoids) or hydrophilic/phenolic antioxidants extracted from durum wheat bran, were studied. Notably, BO pasta was able to improve significantly (+65%) serum AOB during four hours after intake similarly to Lisosan G, a wheat antioxidant-rich dietary supplement. Contrarily, BW pasta had oxidative effect on serum so as conve…
Serum antioxidant capacity and peroxide level of seven healthy subjects after consumption of different foods
2016
This article reports experimental data related to the research article entitled “Different effectiveness of two pastas supplemented with either lipophilic or hydrophilic/phenolic antioxidants in affecting serum as evaluated by the novel Antioxidant/Oxidant Balance approach” (M.N. Laus, M. Soccio, M. Alfarano, A. Pasqualone, M.S. Lenucci, G. Di Miceli, D. Pastore, 2016) [1]. Antioxidant status of blood serum of seven healthy subjects was evaluated during four hours after consumption of two functional pastas, supplemented with either bran oleoresin or bran water extract obtained from durum wheat. For comparison, the effect of a non-supplemented reference pasta was also evaluated, as well as t…
Pastaigas ar suni pilsētā: vienošanās par telpu un sociālā mijiedarbība
2021
Bakalaura darba "Pastaigas ar suni pilsētā: vienošanās par telpu un sociālā mijiedarbība" mērķis ir izpētīt desmit cilvēku, kuri ikdienā pastaigājas ar saviem suņiem Rīgas centrālajā daļā, neformālo praksi. Šīs tēmas nozīmīgums ir divējāds. Viens no iemesliem ir suņu adopcijas un iegādes pieaugums pandēmijas laikā, kas tiešā veidā attiecas uz vienošanās par telpu biežumu un intensitāti. Un otrs attiecas uz noteikumiem, kas ir spēkā, lai pārraudzītu šo praksi un to, kā tā īstenojas realitātē. Šī darba mērķis ir saprast, kā notiek tas, ka cilvēkiem, kuri pastaigājas ar suņiem, ir pastāvīgi jāvienojas par telpu, kā izskatās šīs telpas koplietošanas tikšanās un kā šī mijiedarbības prakse veido …
