ShareIt has been shown that populations consuming primary rice had a strong negative correlation whereas population consuming primary wheat had a strong correlation on the severity of COVID-19 Infections in humans. This suggests that diet may play an important role in mitigating or exacerbating SARS-CoV-2 infections in humans. The type of dietary ingredients, especially sulfur-containing proteins and other sulfur-containing compounds may play an important role for the intestinal microbiome. Sulfur-containing compounds may be enhancing the growth of microorganisms, including coronaviruses. Protein types may play an important role in the composition of the intestinal microbiome. Although there is an urgent need for antivirals and vaccines for coronaviruses, in the meanti..... ReadMore -

ShareThe present study was carried out on different fortification techniques and salt combinations to select optimum technique and fortificant salt for fortification. Three techniques namely parboiling, dusting and extrusion technology were employed with reference to comparison between them. Four salts namely FeSO4 , ZnSO4 , ZnO and NaFeEDTA sourcing iron and zinc at different levels were utilized to fortify rice. It was found that best level of fortification for iron and zinc salts is 350mg/kg is 300mg/kg respectively and best suitable salts for fortification of rice are FeSO4 and ZnO. The best technique for fortification is parboiling...... ReadMore -

ShareAssessment of the food safety status is a pro-active measure to minimize the risks foodborne intoxications resulted from foodborne pathogens like S. aureus. This study was conducted from October 2018 to April 2019 on S. aureus with the objective of assessing prevalence and associated beef contamination risk factors from ready-to-eat raw beef in Bahir Dar city with cross-sectional study design. About 101 raw beef samples were collected from butcheries using simple random sampling method for prevalence estimation of S. aureus using conventional culture method. Potential risk factors related to meat contamination were evaluated by using personal observation and questionnaire survey. The data were analyzed by using STATA software version 12.0 for descriptive statistics and logistic regression model. The prevalence of S. aureus in ready-to-ea..... ReadMore -

ShareThe number of COVID-19 cases in 19 major countries on 5 continents revealed a strong negative correlation with rice consumption per capita. As previously reported, the overall frequency of IgA-deficiency is inversely correlated with COVID-19 infection. We therefore studied the correlation between rice consumption and IgA-deficiency in a subset of 8 countries for which enough data were available. The results revealed a negative correlation with a coefficient of determination (R2) of 0.55. To further confirm the relationship between rice consumption and COVID-19 cases, we selected 9 Asian countries. The result was the same as described, and countries with the rice consumption more than 80-100kg/capita/year showed the lower incidence. In Japan, the specific COVID-19 infection rate by age groups was investigated, in relation with average rice..... ReadMore -

ShareSesame seeds are used in the preparation of a number of food products. In north India, the black sesame seeds are used in preparation of Sani-Jaggery based crushed sesame. In this study an attempt was made to standardize the method for preparation of sani and enrich its quality with addition of different levels of dry fruits (cashewnuts and Almonds, date, Figures, Coconut shreds) and Honey and also assessed organoleptic and storage stability. The standardized sani was organoleptically evaluated using a sensorial affective hedonic scale. The results indicate that Sani samples prepared from raw sesame with 60% Jaggery and mixed with different level of dry fruits and packaged in PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) container and stored at room temperature got good mean score up to 25 days storage except honey-based samples which was spoiled afte.....

ShareThe climate is changing from the artificial fumes that mankind has created. Artificial fumes differ from natural fumes in quality, volume and speed. Water is intended only for consumption-for drinking. But we, not understanding her essence, made her a slave. Turned into a working reagent, a means of increasing comfort. They began to use it as a liquid to wash everything and everything, move it with pumps, heat and boil, cool, dissolve all chemical elements in it, fill in the fields, destroy its molecules in the air with engines, furnaces and compressors......

ShareThe relationship between rice consumption and the cumulative number of COVID-19/1000000 at June 6, 2020 was examined after compilation of data from 19 major countries on 5 continents. A strong negative correlation with a coefficient of determination of 0.59 was found. On the contrary, wheat consumption showed the positive correlation. This suggests that resistance to SARS-CoV-2 infection is influenced by the nature of staple foods...... ReadMore -

ShareApproximately 40% of body weight is made up of muscles and thus quantitatively it is a critical organ that should not be ignored. In addition to structural function in movement and maintenance of posture and balance, skeletal muscle also contributes to metabolic functions of the body. The muscle constitutes the main reservoir of proteins and amino acids and in particular glutamine is synthesized and stored in the muscle in large amounts. It also participates in the regulation of glucose levels...... ReadMore
