Composite Bodies00:55

Composite Bodies

A composite body is a body made up of multiple parts, connected to form a larger, unified object. Each part has its own weight and center of gravity, which must be considered to determine the center of gravity of the composite body. In cases where the density or specific weight is constant, the center of gravity coincides with the centroid.
Composite bodies have widespread applications in mechanical engineering, from automobiles to aircraft to rockets. For example, an automobile wheel comprises...
Dietary Connections01:23

Dietary Connections

In biological systems, most metabolic pathways are interconnected. The cellular respiration processes that convert glucose to ATP—such as glycolysis, pyruvate oxidation, and the citric acid cycle—tie into those that break down other organic compounds. As a result, various foods—from apples to cheese to guacamole—end up as ATP. In addition to carbohydrates, food also contains proteins and lipids—such as cholesterol and fats. All of these organic compounds are used as energy sources to produce...
Carbohydrates: Dietary Sources and Requirements01:15

Carbohydrates: Dietary Sources and Requirements

Carbohydrates are predominantly obtained from plant sources. With the exception of lactose found in milk and insignificant glycogen amounts in meat, most consumed carbohydrates have plant origins. Monosaccharides and disaccharides, or sugars, can be sourced from fruits, honey, milk, sugar cane, and sugar beets. Grains and vegetables are rich in the polysaccharide starch. Two types of polysaccharides provide fiber: cellulose, which is abundant in many vegetables, forms undigestible roughage or...
Compounds Essential to Human Function01:25

Compounds Essential to Human Function

The human body is composed of cells that are fundamentally made up of several different molecules. These molecules are essential to carry out all physiological processes in the body and are broadly classified into organic and inorganic based on their chemical structures.
Inorganic Compounds Essential to Human Functioning
Inorganic compounds essential to human functioning include water, salts, acids, and bases. These compounds are inorganic, i.e., they do not have a carbon-hydrogen bond. Water...
Sources of Food Contamination01:29

Sources of Food Contamination

Contamination of food by microbial agents and natural toxins poses significant risks to public health. These hazards can be introduced at various points across the food supply chain, ranging from environmental sources to processing and storage stages. Understanding these contamination pathways is critical for developing strategies to ensure food safety.Seafood is particularly vulnerable to contamination through both environmental exposure and microbial colonization. Toxins from harmful algal...
Simple Trusses01:21

Simple Trusses

A truss is a structural framework consisting of slender members connected at joints, designed to support external loads while minimizing material usage and weight. Simple trusses are a type of planar truss where all members lie within a single two-dimensional plane.
The most basic planar truss is a simple truss with three members arranged in a triangular formation. This triangular truss is inherently stable and rigid due to its geometry, making it an ideal starting point for creating more...

Area of Science:

  • Nutritional Science
  • Public Health
  • Food Composition Analysis

Background:

  • Accurate dietary intake assessment is crucial for understanding population health.
  • A quantitative food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) was developed for the Trinidadian population.
  • Specific nutritional data for local composite dishes were lacking.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the nutritional composition of commonly consumed composite dishes in Trinidad.
  • To enable analysis of dietary intakes using a Trinidadian-specific FFQ.
  • To identify potential dietary risk factors for chronic diseases within the population.

Main Methods:

  • Collected multiple weighed samples of 89 composite dishes from 53 participants across Trinidad.
  • Utilized NutriBase Clinical Nutrition Manager software for nutritional calculations.
  • Calculated average nutritional composition (energy and 32 macronutrients/micronutrients) per 100g for each dish.

Main Results:

  • Compiled data for 359 recipes representing 89 distinct composite dishes.
  • Included a diverse range of food categories: vegetables, starches, meats, seafood, sweets, beverages, and snacks.
  • Established average nutritional profiles for each of the 89 dishes.

Conclusions:

  • The generated nutritional composition data for 89 Trinidadian dishes are now available.
  • This dataset facilitates accurate dietary intake assessment in Trinidad.
  • The data will aid in determining dietary risk factors associated with chronic diseases.
