Background: Older adults are particularly susceptible to nutritional risk states due to inadequate food intake and the prevalence of chronic medical conditions. This demographic necessitates comprehensive nutrition assessments to address their unique needs. Goals and Objectives: This cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the relationship betwe...
The present status of malnutrition among the children of 6-59 months old was assessed from the rural families in selected areas of Dinajpur district. Anthropometric methods and the data were collected through a face-to-face interview using a semi-structured questionnaire. The prevalence of malnutrition was assessed using three indicators: stunting,...
Wheatgrass has been attracting a lot of attention recently because of its potent nutritional profile and health benefits. This study's objective was to estimate the amount of phenolic and antioxidant activity in baked items prepared with wheatgrass. To prepare cakes and biscuits, wheatgrass powder (WGP) was substituted for wheat flour at 0, 5, 7, a...
Diabetes mellitus has a high prevalence, morbidity and mortality globally. Management of type 2 diabetes is difficult with synthetic drugs as they cause many side effects and have some limitations. Thus, as an alternative and immense interest in medicinal plants with indigenous, inexpensive fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum L.) is considered to...
Zinc deficiency is a global public health problem in developing countries, including Bangladesh, where rice is the primary consumed staple food. To combat zinc deficiency in Bangladesh, BRRI dhan84 (paddy) has been released as a zinc-biofortified and high-yielding rice variety. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate the changes in p...

Complementary feeding improvement should be of highest priority for nutrition of infant and young children containing all essential nutrients at required amount. The objective of this study was de...
PurposeIn this paper, the effect of two options (first option: fluidized bed drying (120–160 °C) + sun drying; second option: fluidized bed drying (120–160 °C) + again fluidized bed drying (65 ± 2 °C)) of two-stage drying on kinetics, energy consumption, quality of dried maize as color, nutritional properties, and hardness was evaluated to assess t...
Aims: This study was intended to investigate and quantify the phytochemicals and the antioxidant activities of fresh and powdered wheatgrass. Study Design: The experiment was performed by solvent extraction technique for determining the phytochemicals of wheatgrass samples. Place and Duration of Study: The study was conducted at the Food engineerin...
A high performance liquid chromatographic method (HPLC) equipped with photodiode array detector (PDA) has been used to determine the water-soluble vitamin B complex ( B1, B2, B3, and B6) in eleven selected vegetables of Bangladesh. The results showed varied levels of vitamin B-complexes. Precisely, Thankuni leaves showed the highest contents of vit...
Legumes are good source of calcium, iron and zinc, but, are also a source of phytate and other anti nutritional factors and dietary fibre components that can negatively affect the bio-accessibility of these minerals. Ten horsegram genotypes were studied for estimation of calcium and iron content as well as the bio-accessibiJity of these two mineral...
