Abstract:
In present days, information about the influence of what we eat on our health comes in many forms and from many sources, and its reliability varies enormously. Latter may depend on the source of information’s interests and motivations. Governmental bodies may provide food-based dietary guidelines and recommend levels of nutrient intakes. History may show examples of certain industries and politics having had their influence on e.g. the advocating of dairy, or vegetables & fruits; nevertheless their information will be mostly objective and minimally biased. Dieticians and medical doctors have patients’ best interests at heart and will advise accordingly. At times, however, the influence of marketing of e.g. supplements and medical foods may escape the required dose of scrutiny - combined with a health care professional’s eagerness to be “seen to be doing something”, partly because certain patients expect and demand this. Food companies can exist only by virtue of the fact that they can sell the foods they produce. It is unavoidable and to be expected that anyone selling a product will be more vocal when it comes to good, rather than about bad news about his or her product. It is prudent to bear this in mind when considering food producers’ information. To further protect consumers from being misled, many countries have established rules for e.g. nutrition & health claims, corresponding to, respectively, what is in the food, and what it does. The liberty that writers of e.g. diet books have very different from the tight regulation of what food companies can say about their products. To my knowledge, and unlike it is the case for producers of foods, no laws impose, on authors who want to sell their books, that what they write needs to be truthful and meaningful.
NB: This presentation will provide insights and observations gathered over a several decades of working in a variety of fields of nutrition. Even though objectivity is sought throughout, some presenter’s subjectivity cannot be fully excluded.

Abstract:
The world’s population is aging, and the elderly population is living longer. This demographic change poses a challenge to public health: How can the elderly sustain health and well-being? Retention of muscle health can help older adults to preserve independence and improve their quality of life. However, there are limited data on nutrition improvement as an approach to manage age-associated loss of muscle mass and strength, also known as sarcopenia. It is unclear whether specifi c nutrients could be benefi cial to muscle health in the ageing process. To help answer this question, we reviewed the emerging data from human randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on individual nutrients and muscle health in the past decade. Fifteen RCTs reported benefi ts of the following nutrients, supplemented alone or in combination, on improving muscle mass or strength in the elderly: Proteins and essential amino acids, bovine colostrum, vitamin D, and anti-infl ammatory ingredients. Cocktail supplementation of multiple nutrients was reported to be more effective than single nutrient interventions. A systems approach integrating multi-faceted interventions may help us better understand the multifactorial etiology of sarcopenia and fi nd effective solutions for muscular conditions that occur with age.

Title: Food sources of energy, fats, sugars, fi bers, vitamin C and sodium among Russian school-aged children
Biography:
Iaroslava A Semenova has completed her PhD (Human Physiology) from Karazin’s University (Kharkiv, Ukraine). She has been working as an Assistant Professor in Bogdan Khmelnitsky’s University (Melitopol, Ukraine). Since 2010, she works as a Nutrition Specialist in Nestlé Ukraine and Moldova market. In 2014, she has joined Public Health Nutrition Department at Nestlé Research Center, Switzerland. Currently, she is working as a Dietary Intake Research Specialist in the global project on children nutrition in the Institute of Nutrition Science, Nestlé Research Center. Her research interests are children nutrition: nutrient intakes, meal patterns and dietary habits.
Abstract:
Statement of the Problem: Saturated fat, sugars and sodium are over-consumed while vitamin C and fi bers are under-consumed among Russian school children. Food sources of energy and these nutrients in Russian 7-13 years old children’s diets are not well described. This study aims to close this gap.Methodology: A representative sample of 15318 records of school-aged children from the 2013 Russian national nutrition surveywas used to examine food sources of energy and nutrients. Autumn and spring one 24 h recall was collected. Statistical Software (SPSS v.23.0, US) was used to calculate the contribution of each food group to daily energy and nutrients intake. Results: The top food sources of energy were bread and bakery (14%), cookies and pastries (8%) and meats (5%). Top contributorsof total fat and saturated fats were meats and processed meats (i.e. ham and sausages) providing 20% in total. Table sugar was aprimary source of total (15%) and added sugars (27%); traditional sweetened fruit-based beverages-compotes and kissels-contributed14% and 16% respectively. Sources of sodium were bread and bakery (17%), soups (14%), processed meats (8%). Bread and bakery (25%), fresh fruits and berries (13%) are the main sources of fi bers, followed by soups (8%), compotes and kissels (8%). Fresh fruitsand berries together with fresh vegetables provided more than half of daily intake of vitamin C, followed by potatoes (11%), soups (8%), compotes and kissels (4%). Conclusion: Bread and bakery, meats, soups, compotes and kissels are the main contributors of both positive nutrients and nutrientsof concern. Considering that traditional diet represented by mostly homemade foods, recipe adjustment while cooking is a viableway to improve diet in Russian 7-13 years-old children. In addition, reformulation of industrial food products with a high content ofnutrients of concern (e.g. sodium in bread or other product solutions) has to be considered.

Title: Impact of maternal iron defi ciency on serum cortisol in the guinea pig offspring
Biography:
France M Rioux is a Professor in the program of Honours Bachelor of Nutrition Sciences in the Faculty of Health sciences. She obtained a Bachelor’s Degree in dietetics in 1986 at Laval University, a Master’s degree at the University of Montreal in 1988 and a PhD in nutrition at the University of British Colombia in 1993. After her doctoral degree, she did her postdoctoral training at the BC Children’s Hospital Research Center in Vancouver. She was a Professor at the University of Moncton from 1995 to 2009. Her research interest includes: Maternal iron defi ciency during gestation and its impact on brain fatty acid and eicosanoid metabolism in the offspring during development and learning, memory processes and auditory acuity in the offspring during development.
Abstract:
Objectives: The aim of this study was to measure the serum cortisol levels used as biomarker of stress in the guinea pig offspring at postnatal day (PNd) 24 and PNd84 born from dams suffering from iron deficiency during pregnancy and lactation.
Method: Female guinea pigs (n= 12/group) were fed an iron sufficient (IS) diet (114 mg/kg) or an iron deficient (ID) diet (11,7 mg/kg) during the gestation and lactation periods. Pups in both groups were weaned at PNd9 and given an IS diet. Hematocrit (hct) and serum cortisol levels were measured at every trimester and at the day of sacrifice in dams and at PNd24 and 84 in pups, on sacrifice day. The weight of dams and pups’ hippocampus, heart, kidneys and adrenal glands including the length of adrenal glands was recorded. The body weight in every animal was also taken every second day until the day of sacrifice.
Results and discussion: Cortisol values in ID pups were significantly (p<0.05) higher than IS pups at PNd24. However, both siblings groups had similar values in cortisol at PNd84 (p>0.05). Female pups also showed significant higher cortisol values (p<0.05) than male pups in both groups. Dams in both groups showed no significant (p>0.05) difference in cortisol during gestation. No significant difference was observed in organs' weight or adrenal glands’ length in both groups. Further investigations are suggested to validate whether-or-not maternal iron deficiency is an internal stressor causing hyperactivity in the offspring.

Abstract:
Background: Advertising directed to children has received regular focus for many years as it is fraught with ethical concerns, while, children are a vulnerable group that should be protected rather than being the object for companies’ marketing. Recent concerns about the increased rates of obesity among children worldwide have resulted in the resurgence of interest towards food advertising targeting children. Since parents play an important mediation role in controlling their children, thus, it is important to understand parents’ perceptions. Limited research exists on the parents’ perceptions toward the effects of food advertising on children, but to the researcher’s knowledge, no research has yet been done in the Middle East including Qatar targeting this issue. Objective: The aims of this study were to examine: 1) parents’ perceptions toward the effect of food advertising, 2) the effect of advertising and other associated factors on childhood obesity and children’s eating patterns, 3) regular eating habits of children and the mostly consumed products consumed by children in Qatar, and 4) the prevalence of overweight and obesity among parents and their children. Methodology: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 332 parents of children aged between 4 and 14 years at shopping mall and public parks in Doha, the state of Qatar. A survey was carried out to measure parent’s perceptions toward the effect of food advertising directed to children. Anthropometric measurements were self-reported expect for parents’ weight which was obtained via an electronic scale. SPSS program version 21 was used for analysis and p-value ≤ 0.05 indicated statistical significance. Results: The findings demonstrated that more than 50% of participated parents and their children were either overweight or obese. The majority of parents expressed negative perceptions of food advertising targeting children and preferred to better regulations of this area ranging from modification of adverting contents to its total prohibition (63%). However, their perceptions were significantly affected by age, education level, and marital status (p< 0.05). Moreover, children’s eating habits and weight status were significantly associated with parents’ knowledge, screen time, and the intended advertising messages (p< 0.05). Conclusion: These findings confirm previous data indicating that exposure to food advertising can increase the desire to consumed advertised products. This research generally confirms the need for better legislative regulations of this issue in the state of Qatar and larger contribution of food products that have positive implications on children’s health in the future.

Abstract:
Statement of the Problem: The study describes one paediatric patient of 36 months of age with refractory myoclonic status epilepticus, treated with high polyunsaturated fatty acid contained ketogenic diet (KD). Methodology & Theoretical Orientation: The ketogenic diet is a high-fat, low-carbohydrate, normal protein diet with an established efficacy for treating refractory epilepsy in paediatric population. Fatty acids are the most important constituent of the KD. Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) increase anticonvulsant properties and reduce the complications associated with the high-fat diet. Between January 3, 2016 and June 6, 2016, one paediatric patient who met the diagnostic criteria for refractory myoclonic status epilepticus, seen at our neurology clinic, was placed on high polyunsaturated fatty acid ketogenic diet and followed for 6 months to observe the efficacy and tolerability of the diet in controlling refractory epilepsy. The intervention included nutritional counseling, administration of ketogenic diet, assessing and improving the quality of life of the family and monitoring the blood parameters during the treatment. Findings: The patient with progressive encephalopathy associated with myoclonic epilepsy had a 100% seizure reduction within 3 months of the treatment. The patient showed good compliance and tolerability to the diet. The number of anti-epileptic drugs has reduced from 5 to 2. The quality of life of the patient and the family is improved as the child started walking, communicating and responding to her parents. There were no reported incidents of nausea, vomiting, constipation or loose motions, which are typical complains related to ketogenic diet administration as per several trials. Conclusion & Significance: The ketogenic diet is an effective and well-tolerated treatment option for patients with refractory myoclonic status epilepticus and should be considered as a potential course of treatment in managing refractory or uncontrolled epilepsy.

Abstract:
Statement of the problem: It is a known fact that the breakfast, which is recognized as the most important meal of the day, should not be skipped. In the case of schooling children, there may be a possibility that the busy morning schedule may exert a pressure on parents and children to skip the breakfast altogether. At least, it may have an impact on choosing the type of the breakfast. In addition, private international school has students, coming from not only the Colombo and suburb area but also from the far away from the Colombo city , therefore getting up early to come to school and not living with the parents could affect on their breakfast habits . The purpose of the study was to analysis the breakfast habits among international school children aged between 10-15 in Colombo, Sri Lanka and give corrective recommendations Findings: It was found that a half of the children subjected to the current study omitted breakfast routinely. Only one third had a regular breakfast. Conclusion and recommendations: The majority indicated that they were aware of the importance of consuming breakfast and that they felt hungry in the morning. The vast majority, including the breakfast skippers, stated that lack of time as a factor that had the main negative impact on having breakfast routinely, therefore current study recommended allocation of a time slot for breakfast in the morning time table at the school.

Title: The content of antioxidants – phenolic compounds, in red wines of Georgia “Kindzmarauli†and “Saperaviâ€
Biography:
Giorgi Maisuradze is a PhD. He graduated from the chemical faculty of Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University, and then the postgraduate study of Holy Apostle St. Andrew the First-Called Georgian University of Georgian Patriarchate with honors. Thesis title: “Pollution of Atmospheric Air of Georgia and Possibility of Purifi cation by Joint Conversion NO/CO Modifi ed by Natural Zeolities”. Works in Tbilisi State University on a Scientifi c Project – “Complex Study of Antioxidants and Mineral Components in Georgian Red Wines by Modern Physical-Chemical Methods”, position: Researcher. Fields of specialization: heterogeneous catalysis, adsorption, ionexchange and catalytic properties of synthetic and natural zeolites; air pollution; gas chromatography and gas-liquid chromatography. He is an author of 14 scientifi c papers.
Abstract:
Statement of the Problem: The special attention of researchers is attracted by grape wines - sources of a unique natural composition of antioxidants and other biologically active substances, superior in their activity to individual antioxidants. About 50 components of the phenolic complex exhibit radioprotective, anti-radiation, bactericidal, antioxidant, antisclerotic, and other functional properties. Chemical analyzes of Georgian wines also showed a high content of phenolic compounds in in red wines obtained by the Georgian traditional method - aging in Qvevri. Earlier were determined the mineral content and heavy metals in wines Kindzamarauli and Saperavi and the corresponding raw materials, kindly provided by the wine enterprise Khareba. Methodology & Theoretical Orientation: One of the main aim of study was to determine phenol compounds in Qvevri wines over wine, made without it. Identification of phenolic compounds was performed using HPLC (Agilent 1260). Division was carried out on the reversed phase Agilent- Zorbax Eclipse XDB-C18-01 column at the room temperature according to modified method of Jordao et.al. Findings: According to obtained data some following phenolic compounds were detected in wines: gallic acid; protocatechuic acid; (+) catechin; vannilic acid; caffeic acid; syringic acid;(-) epicatechin; ferulic acid; dihydroquercetin; rutin; o-coumaric acid; resveratrol; quercetin; p-hyroxybenzoic acid. Content of them changes during processing according chain: stem→skin→pulp→juce→wine. Total content of phenolic compounds is greatest in Saperavi wine (1120 mg / l), sustained in Qvevri over wort, compared to Saperavi wines (700-750 mg/l), and obtained from grape juice by European method.
Conclusion & Significance: According to the content of resveratrol, all the wines studied belong to class of very good (content of resveratrol is more than 7 mg / l), and "Saperavi" of 2012 year with the content of resveratrol of 18 mg / l - to selected wines. Identified phenolic compounds can act as antioxidants and increase the nutrition and medical properties of wine.

Abstract:
The modern day practice of providing healthcare has embraced technology and evidence-based practice. Besides, the ease of accessing information has been increased through gadgets that provide patients and physicians with internet connectivity. Technology experts have taken advantage of these platforms to develop hundreds of diet applications that can be used on mobile phones and other smart devices. Despite this, no empirical evidence validates the efficacy of these applications in professional dietary assessment and in tracking the nutrition of people. Even more, the penetration of mobile phone use across diverse geographical and cultural regional orientations continues to present a challenge for the use of such applications in promoting healthy dietary choices. This is a primary research that reviews the use of mobile applications to increase the knowledge and awareness of populations about nutrition. Besides, this research analyses the role that such applications can play in improving the behaviors, perceptions and attitudes that people foster towards nutrition. The study is descriptive and includes example of applications that have been used widely across different countries, and the feasibility of the use of such applications with respect to the increased consumer awareness on nutrition.

Abstract:
Statement of the Problem: The impact, within a single cohort, of independent modulators of skeletal muscle quality, including age, adiposity/obesity, nutrition and physical activity, is unclear. Methodology & Theoretical Orientation: Using a cross-sectional design, we examined the association between ageing, adiposity, nutrition and physical activity against intrinsic muscle-tendon unit (MTU) structural and functional characteristics. We hypothesised that: (1) Muscle-building nutrients intake would positively impacts on muscle quality; (2) the previously reported negative impact of high adiposity on older skeletal muscle quality, would increase the deleterious impact of ageing on skeletal muscle size and function; (3) high physical activity with low sedentary behaviour would positively impact MTU quality. Fifty untrained males (M=15) and females (F=35) aged 43-80 yrs old were categorised by adiposity (M = normal adipose <28%: high adipose ≥28%; F = normal adipose <40%: high adipose ≥40%) and body mass index (BMI) (Normal 18–24.9, Overweight (BMI 25–29.9) and Obese (BMI > 30)). Optimal diet quality, to achieve skeletal muscle synthesis and/or sparing in vivo, was theorized as a combination of: >1.2 g/day protein, >1.6 g/day omega 3 fatty acids, >10 g/day omega 6 fatty acids, >10 ug/day vitamin D and >3 mg/day vitamin E. Findings: Diet quality did not differ between subpopulations. Interestingly, optimal diet quality predicted 3/10, work-based physical activity and adiposity each predicted 4/10, age predicted 5/10, total calories predicted 7/10, whilst BMI predicted 8/10 skeletal muscle structural and functional characteristics. Only one maker of muscle function differed between low vs. high adipose persons (p=0.015). BMI however differentiated normal weight and obese individuals in 6/10 MTU characteristics (p<0.043). Conclusion & Significance: MTU ‘optimization focused lifestyle interventions’ should target education regarding adequate food quantity intake, whilst aiming also to increase habitual moderate-to-vigorous physical activity, particularly in high BMI middle-age to older individuals.

Biography:
Selvie D Anis is a Lecturer at Faculty of Animal Science, University of Sam Ratulangi, North Sulawesi, Indonesia. She has completed her Doctor degree from Bogor Agriculture Institute.
Abstract:
Rice bran as agricultural waste available abundantly and as major component in pig ration, but this material has a high content of phytic acid as inhibitor of phosphorus metabolism. The objectives of this research was to study the effects of rice bran fermented with Aspergillus niger fungus on back fat thickness, meat cholesterol content, bone hardness degree and feed efficiency. Sixteen castrated pigs of Chaster White at12-week-old with live weight of between 32-44 Kg, put in individual cages. The treatments were R1 = 40% rice bran non fermented, R2 = 40% rice bran fermented 2 days, R3 = 40% rice bran fermented 4 days, R4 = 40% rice bran fermented 6 days. Treatment was given to 4 groups of pigs with different body weight each B1 = 32 Kg; B2 = 36 Kg; B3 = 40 Kg; B4 = 44 Kg. The experimental design used was Randomized Block Design. The variables measured were back fat thick, meat cholesterol content, bone hardness degree and feed efficiency. The results shows that utilization of fermented rice bran along 6 days (R4) has back fat thick and meat cholesterol content significant (P<0,05) lower than the other treatments. On the other hand treatment R4 has bone hardness and feed efficiency significant better (P<0,05) compared to the other treatments. Based on this results it can be concluded that utilization of 40% of rice bran fermented along 6 days with Aspergillus niger were able to improved feed efficiency and quality product of meat for human health.

Abstract:
Folate deficiency has been found to be associated with congenital birth defects like spina bifida, anencephaly, etc. Pregnant women have an increased need for folic acid (600 mg/day) to support the growth of the placenta and foetus and prevent birth defects. Present study was conducted to assess deficiency of serum folate among pregnant women and its epidemiological determinants. A cross-sectional study was conducted in the Doiwala block of Uttarakhand state, a hilly state of the country, and a total of 95 pregnant women participated. Pregnant women were randomly selected from antenatal clinics organized at sub-centers and primary health centers. Blood samples were analyzed for serum folate by competitive immunoassay using direct chemiluminescent technology. Fully automated ADVIA Centaur XP Immunoassay system was used for analysis.
Analysis of data showed that mean serum folate level among pregnant women was 10.1 _ 5.9 ng/ml (95% confidence interval 8.9–11.2). As per World Health Organization cut-off levels, a total of 28 (29.4%), 95% CI (20.2–38.5), women were having folate deficiency (≤5.9 ng/ ml), and out of them 3 were having folate levels below 3 ng/ml (severe folate deficiency). 9 (9.4%) women had elevated levels (>20 ng/ml). 57 (60%) women were in the normal range (6–20 ng/ml). Out of various biosocial determinants considered, education and economic status have shown significant association with folate deficiency. A significant difference was observed in the mean serum folate level among pregnant women living in joint and nuclear type of family. Mean serum folate levels showed a slight negative correlation with body mass index (Spearman's rho = _0.22, p = 0.03900) and gestational age (correlation coefficient: r = _0.26, p = 0.009).
Study findings reveal that high level of folate deficiency (29.4%) is prevalent among pregnant women. Education, type of family, economic status and BMI came out to be important determinants of folate deficiency. These identi- fied determinants could be considered while planning comprehensive strategy for reduction of folate deficiency.

One hundred birds four months of age were allocated into 4 teatments and 5 replications. The treatment were R1 : diet 15% fish meal + 0% manure degraded meal, R2 : diet 10% fish meal + 5% manure degraded meal, R3 : diet 5% fish meal + 10% manure degraded meal and R4 : diet 0% fish meal + 15% manure degraded meal. Data were analysed by analysis of variance (ANOVA) according to Completely Randomized Design and followed by Duncan’s Multiple Range Test. Feed and water were given ad libitum. Variables measured were : triglyceride, LDL, HDL and Cholesterol total. The results showed that R3 treatment significant (P<0.05) lower in triglyceride ( 47,15 -59,66 mg/dl), LDL ( 45,68 – 81,06 mg/dl), cholesterol total (124,98 -155,97 mg/dl) compared with other treatment. On the other hand R3 treatment has a significant higher content of HDL (75,85 – 86,28 mg/dl) compared to other treatment by utilization of manure degraded meal in diet. It can be concluded that utilization of manure degraded by Hermetia illucenseL meal can be used up to 10% in diet to ensure the quality meat of native chicken.

Abstract:
Obesity is a disease that in all world comes with a lot of problems as high cholesterol, morbidity, heart problems, depression, cellulite, high triglycerides, anxious, diabetes, acne polycystic ovaries, and in most of time you have malnutrition associate with low vitamin C, B6 or D. Beyond the weight, there is a lot of bad feelings, and though that they cannot be happy or be loved if they don't be lose weight. So, obesity, it's not just a body problem, they think that they lost the power of self-control, it's not just food is the compulsion to eat emotions, unfulfi lled wishes. Th ere is no secret to choose good and healthy food, the problem is the power of bad habits. People are forgetting that only drugs does not do any kind of miracle. Th e Obesity disease is easy to treat, the diffi cult is treating the patient's mind. Th e treatment has to be in all ways, like psychology, exercise, nutrition reeducation, use of some minerals in prescription, diagnostic of disbiose, anemia, insulin pos-prandial, low metabolism, high cholesterol, low vitamin D, lactose intolerance, gluten intolerance, liver steatosis, low vitamin C, dose of tyroid hormones, serotonin levels and all the metabolism. First of all, it's important to do the body composition, how much fat in percentage or kilos? in what part of body? To indicate a better sport activity to him, Does the patient is retaining water? And, how about the muscle? Aft er listening your patient, ask for a food registration for fi ve days, try to discover what he likes or when he eats wrong. Prescribe what is low like iron? Vitamin C, D3? if ferritin is to high prescribe L glutamine, if has disciose, use probiotics,or insuline resistence use chromium quelade,If he has esteatose think about milk thistle,if the tiroid it's not working well you can prescribe biological identical hormones. And the magic is when you can do a pleasure menu with real food,without guilty. Th ere is a secret in avoid hight index glicemic,balance and combine the food is the better thing,do not cut down everything that the patient likes. In the morning the fi rst thing is a green drink,because of the fasting the body will absorve every nutrients a good choice is apple, beet, carrot, ginger, orange. Use whole grains,whole wheat,bronw rice,barley especially in their less processed forms. Try to avoid all kind of processed food, soft drinks, refi ned grains, sweeteners, white sugar, avoid hight index glycemic,just real food will help educate the palate. Prefere fruits instead of juice there is more fi ber; don’t stay more than 3 hours without eating; Forget fast food; Don't skipping breakfast. Avoid fat, chips, high protein diets tend to be low in carboidryte,try the low fat ones like fi sh, eggs, yogurt fat free, almond milk, cashews, will help the muscle and control the high level of insulin. Reseach shows that good food and diet patterns protect against a lot of diseases, also seem to help with weight control.The mediterranean style diet is great! fi sh,whole grains,fruits and nuts, Remenber that good fat is important too like avocado,salmon,raw olive oil and others. The exercise is amasing to lose weight just 30 minutes four times a week,increase metabolism and high the levels of serotonin.

Abstract:
Statement of the Problem: Th e number of women pursuing careers outside of home has increased tremendously during the recent years. Family structure is changing into nuclear, which lacks the support system which was found in the traditional extended family system. In an attempt to balance the demands of work and home, skipping breakfast and consumption of a rushed unhealthy breakfast are common practices among working women in Sri Lanka. Breakfast is oft en referred to as ‘the most important meal of the day’. Regular consumption of healthy breakfast is paramount in ensuring health and wellbeing of women of reproductive age. Th e purpose of this study is to obtain an understanding of the degree of awareness regarding the importance of breakfast the mong working women in Sri Lanka. Methodology: A Descriptive Cross Sectional Study was performed, with a sample selected from GCE Advanced Level batches of 1998, -2001 from the leading girls’ schools in Colombo. Th is includes 35 women from each batch were randomly selected to get total sample of 105. Findings: Th e Minitab statistical analysis soft ware was used for analysis of data. Th e proportion of subjects who had good knowledge on the importance of regular breakfast and consequences of skipping breakfast was amounted to 53%, while 27% had fair knowledge, and 20% of the subjects had poor knowledge respectively. Conclusion: One in fi ve (20%) urban working Sri Lankan women ,with an education level of GCE (A/L) or above is lacking in adequate knowledge on health benefi ts of regular consumption of breakfast and also consequences of skipping breakfast. Th e most common reasons for skipping breakfast are subjective, and not based on lack of time for preparation or unavailability of food items.

Abstract:
The aim of the work was to verify the hypothesis that external factors such as elevated temperature and UV irradiation can change the chemical structure of fatty acids and how these possible changes aff ect their molecular dynamics. Cocoa butter and cocoa paste as rich sources of fatty acids have been studied. Cocoa butter and cocoa paste contains saturated and unsaturated acids mixture (palmitic acid, stearic acid, oleic acid, linoleic acid). Th e samples were exposed to elevated temperatures of 40°C and the infl uence of UV irradiation with the dose of 300W/m2 for 1000h. Th e analysis of the chemical structure of fatty acids was carried out using an NMR spectrometer. NMR spectra were recorded at room temperature using a Bruker Ascend 600 spectrometer (Bruker, Billerica, MS, USA). Molecular dynamics were analyzed using NMR relaxometry. NMR relaxometry is a unique experimental method probing mechanisms and characteristic time constants of dynamical processes in condensed matter on the atomistic level. In contrary to NMR spectroscopy which it is focused on molecular structure, NMR relaxometry probes molecular dynamics. Th is summarizes the concept of the research: as it has turned out those structure-oriented methods may be not suffi cient for discriminating between fatty acids storage at the diff erent conditions (temperature, UV irradiation). Furthermore, the next try is to attempt to reveal characteristic dynamical features of these materials. Standard NMR relaxation experiments are performed at a single frequency to determine the structure of the matter. Here, the experiments are carried out in a wide frequency range from about 5kHz to 40MHz (for 1H). By NMR relaxometry, it is possible to detect motional processes across a huge range of time scales (from MS tons) by single experiment. Obtained results indicate the importance of storage conditions for products rich in fatty acids. Even small changes of chemical structure of the fatty acids can infl uence on their molecular dynamic.

Abstract:
Pectin is a form of natural saccharide existing in the cell wall of plants. Pectic-enzyme treated pectin (PET pectin) could inhibit the growth of food-spoiling bacteria, enhance food emulsion, inhibit lipid peroxidation and inhibit the growth of human cancer cells. Among the enzyme-modified pectin, the fragments with molecular weight less than 1 kDa exhibited the highest inducing effect. When proinflammatory mediators and cytokines are over-expressed during inflammation, it may cause various inflammatory diseases. This research found that modified pectin was non-toxic to macrophage RAW 264.7 and it reduced the NO content by 20% induced by lipopolysaccharide. Western blot method showed that after the enzyme treatment of pectin can reduce inflammatory protein performance, such as COX-2ã€NF-kBã€TNF-a. PET pectin is expected to be used as a dietary supplement in the future to prevent inflammation.

Abstract:
The purpose of this research was to study the eff ect of substitution of fish meal with chicken viscera in the ration on cholesterol, LDL and HDL content in blood and meat of pig. Fift een pigs crossbred of Spotted Poland Chinese and Chaster White at 10-week-old with live weight of between 15 and 23kg, put in individual cages. Th e treatments were substitutions of fi sh meal with chicken viscera meal as follows R0=fi sh meal 10%+0% chicken viscera (control); R1=5% fi sh meal+chicken viscera 5% and R2=fi sh meal 0%+10% chicken viscera. Treatment was given to 5 groups of pigs with diff erent body weight each B1=16.00kg; B2=18.10kg; B3=20.25kg; B4=22.50kg and B5=24.10kg. The experimental design used was Randomized Block Design. Th e variables measured were total cholesterol content, LDL content, HDL content in blood and cholesterol in pig meat. The results showed that the total cholesterol content was signifi cant (P<0.05) lower in the treatment of R2 compared with the treatment of R0 and R1 which both were not signifi cantly diff erent. The LDL content was significant (P<0.05) lower at the treatment of R2 compared with R0 and R1 while the latter two were not signifi cantly diff erent. While the HDL content in the treatment of R2 was significant (P<0.05) higher than the treatment of R0 and R1, followed by the decrease of cholesterol content in meat. Based on this result, it can be concluded that at 10% chicken viscera in pig ration could be improved the quality of meat of pork in terms of cholesterol content to ensure human food safety.

Abstract:
Food consumption from animals tends to increase due to the improving economic condition of people from a region. In addition, increased public awareness of nutrition can lead to increased consumption of food including animal food from livestock. The problem is that coastal communities are low-income people, resulting in a tendency to consume low livestock products. This research has been conducted with the aim to know the amount of income and consumption of livestock products (meat and egg) in South Bolaang Mongondow Regency. The research method used is survey method. Subdistricts and villages as samples have been determined by purposive sampling that is the subdistricts and villages located in the coastal area of ​​South Bolaang Mongondow Regency. Respondents as many as 100 people were determined by simple random sampling. The results showed that the average of household income obtained was Rp 3022300 per month per household. The number of households consuming beef is as much as 100 percent, meat from local chicken 96 percent, goats 43 percent, chicken 6 percent, pig 4 percent and chicken eggs 90 percent. The average consumption of livestock products per year per household is 217.60 eggs, beef 1.15 kg, 1.34 kg chicken meat, 1.11 kg goat meat, 1.83 kg chicken meat and 2.50 kg pork. Based on the result of the research, it can be concluded that the income received by the household is considered small because only Rp 100,743.33 per day, the consumption of livestock product is still below the standard, for meat only about 1.37 kg / capita / tahun. Suggestions, it is necessary government intervention to improve livestock business as a source of income for coastal communities.
