@foodprofessor has churned up some trouble with #buttergate, claiming that Canadian butter (@dfc_plc) is now harder at room temperature, claiming this is driven by the practice of palm oil feeding in the dairy industry. There is a lot to unpack here, so this will be a 🧵 1/12

Alzheimer’s disease and thiamine deficiency are linked in that both relate to cognitive deficits and decreases in glucose metabolism for the brain. Additionally, too much thiamine lowers the Alzheimer’s disease like symptoms or the potentiality. #Gibson #Food2150 #Assignment

Hooper’s study concluded that saturated fats can be replaced by polyunsaturated fats , monounsaturated fats or carbohydrates. However, carbohydrates provide no health benefits and polyunsaturated fats result in food being susceptible to oxidation. #Hooper #Food2150 #Assignment

The ability to absorb certain fats is notably reduced in human newborns. A reason for why human milk fat is well-absorbed by infants is because the palmitic acid is predominantly esterified at the 2-position, where it has the greatest absorbability #Filer #Food2150 @UofGFoodProf

Polyunsaturated fats can be found in oils like sunflower oil and olive oil, while saturated fatty acids are in milk, palm fat and cocoa butter. Consuming polyunsaturated fats instead of carbohydrates is said to improve cardiovascular health. #Marangoni #Food2150 #Assignment

Starch is made up of two sections, one being the minor section which is made up of lipids, integral lipids, minerals, proteins and pentosans. The major part consists of amylopectin and amylose, that vary in chain length and impact the final product #Schirmer #Food2150 #Assignment

Tasting sweet and unami flavours is helpful to determine the amount of nutrients in foods, but not with artificial sweeteners. Being able to taste sour, high salt and bitter allows the consumer to be protected from any compounds that could be deathly! #Calvo #Food2150 #Assignment

Producers in the meat industry look at maximizing production for a consistent, high-quality product to meet consumer needs. In the swine industry, this is done by looking at traits that will maximize production and reduce the occurrence of PSE meat. #Barbut #Food2150 #Assignment

Food irradiation may be another answer when fighting against world hunger. One massive issue for developing nations has always been reliable food storage, so food irradiation can drastically reduce post-harvest food losses #Food2150 #Kilcast

Food irradiation can reduce the presence of spoilage and pathogens. This is beneficial, but irradiation also has some drawbacks. Essential vitamins for humans, like C and A, are very sensitive to this process. So do the benefits outweigh the cons? @UofGFoodProf #Food2150 #Kilcast

There have been outbreaks of milk borne diseases in the US over the years. As a Canadian producer, there are many rules and procedures that must be followed to produce a healthy and safe product for consumers to enjoy! Support Canadian Dairy Farmers Folks! #Bryan #Food2150

The microbial flora in the gastrointestinal tract play a role in protecting epithelial cells from injury, forming blood vessels, controlling fat content in body. Consider all the microbes living in the gut and the various roles they can have in diseases! #Eckburg #Food2150

Parents always say to eat your fruits and veggies, but wait! Researchers discovered a relationship between post-harvest washing (PHW) and food-borne illnesses (E.Coli). Plant-bacteria interactions and the antimicrobial stability limits the efficacy of PHW. #Food2150 #Warriner

47% of chicken farmers are unsure if chicks or eggs were treated with antimicrobials (AM), meaning treatments may not always be recorded. This is alarming as AM-resistant infections are harder to treat, stressing the importance of record keeping. @UofGFoodProf #food2150 #Lebert
