Maasai mother's knowledge on complementary feeding practices and nutritional status of children aged 6-24 months in Monduli District, Arusha, Tanzania: A case study of Naitolia village.

Despite Tanzania's achievement in reducing childhood problems, undernutrition is still a problem. Little is known about how mothers' knowledge on complementary feeding practice affects their children nutritional status. Therefore, the study determined how nutritional status of Maasai children aged 6-24 months is related to their mothers or caregivers' knowledge on complementary feeding.

Revisiting Non-Thermal Food Processing and Preservation Methods-Action Mechanisms, Pros and Cons: A Technological Update (2016-2021).

The push for non-thermal food processing methods has emerged due to the challenges associated with thermal food processing methods, for instance, high operational costs and alteration of food nutrient components. Non-thermal food processing involves methods where the food materials receive microbiological inactivation without or with little direct application of heat. Besides being well established in scientific literature, research into non-thermal food processing technologies are constantly on the rise as applied to a wide range of food products.
