Effects of adding silver carp Hypophthalmichthys molitrix protein concentrate on sensory, texture and cooking properties of pasta and its shelf life by Mahsasadat Mousavi Sane, Seyedeh Zahra Mirhosseini Roudbaraki, Mohammad Ali Nematollahi, Seyed Vali Hosseini

“…Results and discussion: The obtained results showed no significant difference in the sensory characteristics between the three treatments, and also the results exhibited the decrease in some textural characteristics of the produced pasta, such as the amount of adhesion, hardness, and flexibility with the addition of protein concentrate, so that the lowest amount of adhesion was observed in T2%. In terms of cooking time and the amount of cooking loss, the control treatment (T0) showed the highest value, while water absorption percentage and swelling index, by the elevation in the amount of concentrate, the value of these two also increased (p < 0.05). …”

Zinc levels in severe eating disorders by Kara Leach, Dan V. Blalock, Judy Oakes, Melanie Hebert, Marina Foster, Philip S. Mehler

“…Conclusions Given zinc’s pervasive roles in metabolism throughout the body as well as common symptoms of deficiency including impaired taste and smell, decreased appetite, and depression, zinc levels could be relevant to the high relapse rate in severe ED. The observed decrease in zinc, which was larger in cases than controls, during refeeding suggests the possibility of a “refeeding hypozincemia” which may present a new therapeutic target. …”
