Background: Many food products need to be reformulated to reduce the intake of saturated and trans fats which are considered unhealthy. In particular, the reformulation of filling creams (FCs) is challenging as these fats cannot be directly replaced with liquid oil without affecting the final product properties. This research studied the formulation and characterization of FCs for sandwich cookies using monoglyceride oleogel as fat material.

Results: FC formulated with 260 g kg oleogel showed viscoelastic moduli values that did not differ significantly from those measured in a filling cream of commercial sandwich cookies (FC-CSCs) used as reference. The oil binding capacity of the FCs decreased with the increase of oleogel content. The increase of the oleogel amount in the formulation produced a decrease in hardness but an increase in adhesiveness and cohesiveness. Hardness, adhesiveness, and cohesiveness ranged from 0.66 to 3.48 N, 0.44 to 0.86 N s, and 0.07 to 0.29, respectively. When FCs were used for assembling cookies into sandwiches, an oil loss of about 9 g kg FC after 21 days of storage was found in FCs containing 220 and 260 g kg oleogel. The nutritional improvement due to the use of oleogel in FCs led to a reduction in saturated fatty acids between 64.5% and 35.2% and from 1.0 to 0.0% trans fatty acids in comparison with FC-CSC.

Conclusion: Full fat replacement with monoglyceride oleogel in FC formulations allows the obtention of products with good quality and some similar characteristics to those obtained for FC-CSC, with the added benefit of a healthier nutritional profile. © 2020 Society of Chemical Industry.

Differential exposure to palatable food and its effects on binge-like eating behavior in adolescent rats.

Front Psychol

November 2024

Facultad de Estudios Superiores Iztacala, UNAM. Laboratorio de Neurobiología de la Alimentación, Tlalnepantla, Estado de México, Mexico.

Article Synopsis
  • The study examines how different access protocols to palatable food (PF) influence binge-like eating behaviors in adolescent male Wistar rats, which may be relevant for understanding human obesity.
  • Three groups of rats were given varying access to PF—continuous, intermittent, and weekend access—over a period of six weeks, followed by a withdrawal period.
  • Results showed that restricted access led to increased binge-like eating, with the intermittent access group exhibiting the highest levels of binge eating, highlighting how food availability affects consumption patterns during adolescence.

We analysed the relationships between maternal feeding styles and children's eating and nutritional factors. A cross-sectional study was developed with 416 mothers linked to 130 public higher education institutions in all Brazilian states and their children aged 18 months to six years. A semi-structured online questionnaire was applied using the Google Forms tool, with questions about sociodemographic conditions, food consumption and anthropometry of the children.

Unique sandwich-cookie-like nanosheet array heterojunction bifunctional electrocatalyst towards efficient overall water/seawater splitting.

J Colloid Interface Sci

September 2024

School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Jiangsu University, Zhenjiang 212013, China. Electronic address:

Construction of multi-component heterostructures is an effective strategy for electrocatalysts to improve both the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) at the cathode and the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) activity at the anode. Herein, an efficient bifunctional electrocatalyst towards overall water/seawater splitting (OW/SS) is reported with strategy of heterostructure construction (ruthenium/nickel phosphorus) on nickel hydroxide (Ni(OH)). With the unique hydrolysis layer (Ni(OH)), the processes of HO hydrolysis and the adsorption/desorption of H*/O-containing intermediates (OH, O, OOH) were greatly boosted by Ru and P sites, which acted as the catalytic active centers of OER and HER, respectively.

Issue Addressed: This paper aims to explore Victoria parents' perceptions of their current practices and barriers in providing school lunches for their primary school children.

Methods: Respondents were asked via an online survey about their lunch provision practices, perceptions of the healthiness of school lunches, and barriers to providing healthy school lunches. Data were analysed using different statistical techniques: Chi-square test, Spearman correlation analysis, Mann-Whitney U test, and Kruskal-Wallis test.
