Article Abstract
Trimethylamine--oxide (TMAO) can be produced by the gut microbiota from dietary substrates and is associated with cardiovascular disease. While dairy products contain TMAO precursors, the effect of fermented dairy on TMAO metabolism remains unclear. We used plasma and urine samples collected for two randomised cross-over studies to evaluate the effects of fermented dairy consumption on TMAO metabolism. In Study 1, thirteen healthy young men tested a yogurt and an acidified milk during postprandial tests and a two-week daily intervention. In Study 2, ten healthy adults tested milk and cheese during postprandial tests. TMAO and five related metabolites were measured in plasma and urine by LC-MS/MS and NMR. Faecal microbiota composition was assessed in Study 1 (16S rRNA metagenomics sequencing). Fermented milk products were associated with lower postprandial TMAO responses than non-fermented milks in urine (Study 1, = 0.01; Study 2, = 0.02) and in plasma, comparing yogurt and acidified milk (Study 1, = 0.04). Daily consumption of dairy products did not differentially affect fasting TMAO metabolites. Significant correlations were observed between microbiota taxa and circulating or urinary TMAO concentrations. Fermentation of dairy products appear, at least transiently, to affect associations between dairy products and circulating TMAO levels.
Galactooligosaccharides (GOS) are lactose-derived functional ingredients applied in food products and have great potential in health protection. The conversion of lactose to GOS commonly occurs using β-galactosidases of mould, yeast and bacterial origin. The yield and structure of the resulting GOS depend on the enzyme used and the reaction conditions.
Objective: To improve the accuracy of food intelligent recognition and weight estimation technology, establish a large-scale food image dataset.
Methods: Building large-scale food image and ingredient datasets based on web crawler technology, professional manual collection, and regular user uploads.
Results: A big dataset was constructed containing over 1.
Objective: To describe the dietary diversity and micronutrients adequacy among women of reproductive age during 2015-2017 in China.
Methods: Data was from the China Nutrition and Health Surveillance in 2015-2017. Stratified multistage cluster sampling method was used, and 17622 women aged 15-49 years from 31 provinces(autonomous regions and municipalities) were involved.
Objective: The fatty acid composition and content of different commercial dairy products were analyzed.
Methods: A total of 33 representative dairy products were purchased in the supermarket of Chongqing, which were divided into three types: pure milk, milk powder and yogurt. The composition and content of fatty acids were analyzed by gas chromatography.
Objective: To describe the food intake among adult residents in 10 provinces(autonomous regions) of China.
Methods: Data was collected from the financial project China Development and Nutrition Health Impact Cohort Survey in 2022-2023. The method of three consecutive 24-h dietary recalls and weighing were used to collect foods and condiments intake data.
