Objective: I introduce a new technical and conceptual term “nutritional proteomics” by identifying and quantifying the proteins and their changes in a certain organ or tissue dependent on the food intake by utilizing a mass spectrometry based proteomics technique. Purpose: Food intake is essentially important for every life on earth to sustain the physical as well as mental functions. The outcome of food intake will be manifested in the health state and its dysfunction. The molecular information about the protein expression change caused by diets will assist us to understand the significance of functional foods. We wish to develop nutritional proteomics to promote a new area in functional food studies for a better Understanding of the role o1’firnctional foods in health and disease.

Abstract Adolescent girls tend to be at greater risk of developing anemia compared to adolescent boys. The background is because adolescent girls have menstruation every month, but it is not accompanied by the addition of iron-rich food intake. In an effort to meet the iron needs of them, it can be done by utilizing local food products, such as mocaf flour, and moringa leaf flour. This study aims to analyze the acceptance of onion stick that have been modified into three treatments. The research design was Completely Randomized Design (CRD), using three treatments, with a comparison of mocaf flour and moringa leaf flour, namely A1 (40:4), A2 (45:5), A3 (50:6). The data were analyzed by the Kruskal Wallis statistical test, then further analyzed by the Mann-Whitney test to see whether there was a difference. The results of the organoleptic test assessment showed that there were significant differences in the parameters of color (p = 0.001), aroma (p = 0.017), taste (p = 0.000) and texture (p = 0.003) of onion stick A1, A2, and A3, the results of the Mann Whitney test showed that the A1 formula was significantly different from the A2 and A3 formulas (p<0.05). In conclusion, the onion sticks formula A1 has the best acceptability, making it possible to conduct further research on the nutritional content and its effect on the hemoglobin level of anemic adolescent girls.

Background: Epidemiological evidence links blood pressure (BP) -lowering effects with fruit, vegetables, pulses, nuts but results are inconsistent and often rely on self-administered dietary assessment methods prone to random and systematic errors and potential under- or overestimation of relationships. Objective: To characterize urinary metabolic signatures of plant food intake (fruit, vegetables, pulses, and nuts) and subsequently to assess their associations with BP, validated across cohorts. Methods: We used untargeted metabolic profiling obtained by proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy ( 1 H NMR) of two timed repeated 24-hour urine collections derived from 2,032 free-living US participants, and replicated among 449 UK participants, all part of the cross-sectional International Study of Macro- and Micronutrients and Blood Pressure (INTERMAP) study. Associations of plant foods intakes from four 24-hour dietary recalls with 7,100 NMR features were evlauted using univariate linear regression analyses. Significant metabolites were structurally identified using analytical and statistical approaches. We compared extensively adjusted associations of plant food intake and urinary metabolites with BP in the total population (N=2,481). All analyses were extensively adjusted for potential confounders and accounted for multiple testing. Results: We found consistent, reproducible relationships of NMR signatures with plant food intake across repeated urine collections and between populations. Eleven urinary metabolites were identified and two remained unknown (1: δ 2.80 (s); 2: δ 1.16(s), 1.67 (s)). Twelve metabolites were directly correlated with plant foods ranging from 0.15 (P≤1x10 -11 ) to 0.49 (P≤5x10 -119 ), and phenylacetylglutamine was inversely associated (r=-0.18, P≤1x10 -5 ). In adjusted analyses, plant food intake was inversely associated with systolic BP (-1.29 mmHg; 95%CI: -2.38,-0.19), but not with diastolic BP. Metabolites inversely associated with systolic BP were hippurate (-2.67 mmHg;-3.71,-1.63), citrate (-2.50 mmHg; -3.55,-1.44), phenylacetylglutamine (-2.26 mmHg; -3.29,-1.23), unknown1 (-2.05 mmHg; -3.06,-1.04), 4-hydroxyhippurate (-1.45 mmHg; -2.44,-0.45), and unknown2 (-1.09 mmHg; -2.09,-0.09); with diastolic BP were phenylacetylglutamine (-1.12 mmHg; -1.84,-0.40), citrate (-1.02 mmHg; -1.76,-0.28), and unknown1 (-1.18 mmHg; -1.88,-0.47). Plant food-systolic BP associations were attenuated by further adjustment for citrate, hippurate, and unknown1, while hydroxyproline, proline and phenylacetylglutamine were potential effect modifiers. Conclusion: Urinary metabolites were consistently associated with plant food intake. Urinary metabolites that may underlie the plant food-BP association were gut-microbial co-metabolites and tricarboxylic acid cycle intermediates.

Dietary Energy Density

Abstract Objectives Recent trends in nutritional intake have emphasized decreasing meat intake and increasing intake of whole plant-based foods as a dietary strategy that has both health and environmental benefits. National surveillance data have demonstrated that intake of fish and plant protein has increased over the past decade, but little has been done to examine the association with plant protein intake and diet quality. Dietary energy density (ED, kcal/g) is an established indicator of diet quality and is a risk factor for chronic disease. The objective of the present study was to examine the relationship between plant food intake, dietary energy density and overall diet quality. Methods Data from a nationally representative sample of 10,622 adults who participated in the 2013–2016 NHANES was analyzed. Dietary data was collected using 24HR, and intake was quantified using the USDA FPED serving equivalents. Sex-specific quartiles of energy density were calculated. All data were analyzed using SAS 9.4 survey procedures to account for the unequal sampling probability and complex survey design of the NHANES. All models are energy-adjusted and adjusted for age, sex race/ethnicity, educational attainment, and household income. Results In this sample of US adults, dietary energy density was associated with higher intakes of plant foods, including fruits, vegetables and plant proteins (all P &lt; 0.0001). Individuals in with low-ED diets had significantly higher intakes of legume protein foods (0.63 vs 0.22 oz eq, P = 0.0001) and soy protein foods (P = 0.03). Individuals with low-ED diets also consumed nearly double the amount of fiber, as well as significantly higher intakes of B-carotene (4006 vs 950 mcg) and lycopene (6742 vs. 2404 mcg) than those with energy-dense diets (p's &lt; 0.0001). Conversely, individuals with high-ED diets had significantly higher intake of processed meats (1.0 vs. 0.66 oz eq, P &lt; 0.0001); cheese products (P &lt; 0.0001); solid, saturated and total fat; and lower intakes of seafood (all P &lt; 0.01). No association between energy density and intake of total animal source proteins, eggs nor total dairy intake was observed. Conclusions Plant protein intake is associated with lower dietary ED and higher diet quality in adults. Dietary strategies to increase plant food intake may be useful for health promotion and disease prevention. Funding Sources None.
