Nutrition comparison

If you re not on the West Coast, don t live near a Wal-Mart, and your doctor doesn t clear you to use toddler formula for your infant, you re going to have to do a lot of nutritional comparisons of conventional formulas. There is one other choice. Some moms take their quest for supplemental milk a step further by using donor milk from human milk banks. Donor milk is pasteurized, and some health care companies will even pay for it. To find out more, go to the Human Milk Banking Association of North America s Web site www.hmbana.org.

Microbiological assay should stress accuracy over precision. Standardization of an assay method should include comparisons with at least one other organism having a different nutritional pattern and specificity toward the compound being assayed. Such a comparison was made for cyanocobalamin (vitamin Bi2 ) content of human blood and serum, using four microorganisms differing in their cobamide requirements and metabolism (B9).

Tubers Tubers are quite commonly consumed by villagers in Burma. Other tropical countries also report sporadic use of winged bean tubers (59). However, in comparison to the available data on the nutrient, anti-nutrient composition and the protein quality of the seed flour, published data on the nutritional value of winged bean tuber is somewhat limited. The few reported studies dealing with a larger number of varieties grown in different locations (25,67-71) show that tubers are mainly composed of protein and carbohydrates. 

During some of the weeks, in Hoogvliet air samples were collected in order to make a direct comparison between immission concentration and experienced annoyance. The sampling was done by the Division for Nutrition and Food Research TNO Zeist. The samples were collected by a mobile unit of this institute during the same hour in which the panels made their measurements. Fourty teflon bags of 40 liters each were filled at three locations in such a way that all bags contained equal amounts from all three... 

Due to the lack of bioassays that mimic the situation of toxin-containing food particles, most of the work has been performed on herbivores that feed on diets of phytoplankton species with different degrees of toxicity. This has led to multiple variant parameters, not allowing the direct comparison of effects due to the varying toxin contents. In a few cases, these studies have the advantage of being able to directly compare different clones of one species with variable toxicities but otherwise comparable biochemical composition. There, the effect of the toxins can be determined without overlaying effects due to different nutritional quality of the food. 

Altering the dry matter of the diet (DMD) had a significant effect on the dry matter of the larva (DML) and the dry matter of the feces (DMF). This finding supports assumptions made by Reese and Beck (33) that BCW larvae have a limited ability to regulate their bodily dry matter and that the DMF is poorly maintained in comparison to that of other insects. With the exception of the AD, the nutritional index parameters showed a tendency towards an optimal DMD level around 25%. DWE and DWG were positively correlated with this DMD optimum and with each other, as they are in other insects (59).
