Application of low-cost extrusion cooking to weaning foods in feeding programmes. part 2.

A low-cost technology for making blended foods and oilseed flours has been developed within a programme operated by Colorado State University, USA. The technology is based on a low-cost extruder cooker (LEC). The primary products are 1) vitamin- and mineral-fortified cereal/legume blends for use in supplementary feeding programmes, and 2) protein supplements for fortifying cereal and/or root crop foods. Plants have been installed in four developing countries, and research and development activities are being carried out in a number of others. The programme involves agricultural and industrial development as well as nutritional improvement. The major product currently made is CSB, and in some cases CSM made by blending dried milk with CSB. These products have been demonstrated to be safe, nutritious and acceptable by the target population, although more work is needed on expanding the ways in which the blended foods might be used in traditional recipes, as well as in gruels and porridges.

[Respiratory allergies among symptomatic bakers and pastry cooks: initial results of a prevalence study].

A survey was carried out on respiratory symptoms and skin prick response to common allergens, storage mite and occupational allergens. Among 178 symptomatics bakers and pastry workers from small businesses in western France, only 65 people underwent skin prick and specific-IgE. 12 (18%) workers were skin positive to at least one common or occupational allergens. The more often skin positive were D. Ptero. mite 36 (57%); Alpha amylase 23 (35%); wheat flour 17 (26%); saccharomyces cerevisiae 16 (25%); Ephestia 15 (24%). The sensitivity of skin test was better than specific IgE for D. Ptero. Mite 36 (57%); and Alpha amylase 23 (35%). The sensitivity of specific IgE was better than skin test for wheat flour 26 (45%) and rye flour 23 (40%). Occurrence of skin positive to occupational allergen among symptomatics with rhinitis and asthma is much more frequent in workers with skin positive to common allergens (40/36) than in workers with skin negative (8/20). Atopy must be regarded as an important predisposing factor for skin sensitisation to occupational allergens. We conclude in the necessity of a standardised allergologic exploration to be done in symptomatics bakers.

Zinc, copper & iron contents in cooked foods & estimates of their daily intakes in young hostel residents.

Dietary zinc, copper and iron intakes of 19 men and 11 women (aged 18-25 yr) were determined during three periods of five consecutive days each, using, weighment method and atomic absorption analysis of food samples. Daily zinc, copper and iron intakes of men ranged from 13.1 +/- 1.2 to 15.3 +/- 1.4 mg/d, 1.62 +/- 0.15 to 1.84 +/- 0.17 mg/d and 20.5 +/- 2.8 to 29.1 +/- 4.5 mg/d and of women 8.8 +/- 2.0 to 9.0 +/- 1.6, 1.42 +/- 0.23 to 1.69 +/- 0.62, and 10.0 +/- 2.4 to 14.7 +/- 2.6 mg/d respectively. Cereals provided 67.7 per cent of dietary zinc, 47.7 per cent copper and 62 per cent iron in men and 60 per cent of Zn, 44 per cent of Cu and 59 per cent of Fe in women, suggesting lower contribution of cereals to Cu intakes than Zn and Fe. Men had mineral intakes close to the recommended allowances for Indians, whereas the intakes of women were 30 to 60 per cent lower. When expressed as mg/1000 kcal, lower calorie intakes of women were responsible for their low mineral intakes. Intra-individual variation in mineral intakes was higher (18.39%) than that of energy intakes (14-17%) in both men and women. Phytate: Zn molar ratios were > 15 indicating risk of zinc deficiency in these students.
