La innovación juega un rol clave en el desarrollo de nuevos productos y extensiones de línea. La reformulación de productos cárnicos es una estrategia, que aplica la industria actual, basada en el conocimiento de las necesidades y expectativas de los consumidores. Siguiendo estas tendencias se desarrolla un reestructurado de pollo con fibra soluble y omega 3, sin el agregado de grasa y sal. Para proteger los omega 3 de la autoxidación se emplean métodos de cocción a calor moderado y vacío en la precoccion del producto, que luego se va conservar en refrigeración. Además se evaluará la acción del nitrito en la estabilidad oxidativa, aunque se agrega por motivos de seguridad alimentaria. La fibra soluble se incorpora por aspectos tecnológicos como la retención de agua pero además por su reconocido efecto saluble. Y los omega tres vienen a paliar deficit nutricionales considerados críticos para la salud humana, en recientes avances de estudios de desnutrición. / Boari De Greissing, VM. (2014).

EPA and DHA are among the long-chain omega-3 fatty acids. Polyunsaturated fatty acids, including EPA and DHA, are fatty acids that are part of the diet and they are important structural molecules that include forming membrane membranes and. They are involved in the function of nerve cells and the brain. EPA and DHA are also necessary during early fetal development.  It can be difficult to get enough intake of EPA and DHA through diet alone. The daily recommendation for omega-3 fatty acids is 2.5-3 grams, but this amount is also include the omega-3 fatty acid, linolenic acid (ALA) which has a shorter carbon chain. It is an important component of our diet, as it is found in many common food plants but ALA does not provide the health benefits seen with EPA and DHA. The body can convert ALA from dietary sources to EPA and DHA via the enzymes enlongase and desaturase; however, enzyme capacity is low and research shows that only a small amount of DHA and EPA can be synthesized in the body. Therefore, dietary intake of EPA and DHA is important. In recent years, studies have shown that omega-3 fatty acids have health-promoting properties. This study summarizes the structural properties and dietary sources of omega-3 fatty acids and their effect on hyperactivity symptoms in children with ASD. The PubMed database was used to search for studies. Four published RCT studies were evaluated. The participants in the four studies were children between 2.5 and 8 years old. The effect of an average dose of 1,075 g of omega-3 fatty acids per day and its effects were investigated. Although the results of the four studies showed that the daily intake of omega-3 fatty acids reduced hyperactivity symptoms in children with autism, the results were not statistically significant. The conclusion is that although a decrease in hyperactivity was observed in children with ASD who received omega-3 fatty acids as a dietary supplement, there was not a statistically significant reduction in hyperactivity symptoms. More studies are needed to confirm whether treatment with omega-3 fatty acids reduces hyperactivity in children with ASD.

Intrauterine infection with the oral commensal anaerobe Fusobacterium nucleatum has been associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes. We have previously established a mouse model to study the mechanism of hematogenous F. nucleatum leading to fetal and neonatal death. Here, we report that Toll-like Receptor 4 (TLR4) from the maternal rather than paternal, and endothelial rather than hematopoietic cells mediate placental inflammation, especially the production of the proinflammatory cytokine interleukin-1 beta. Downstream of TLR4, a spatiotemporal pattern of the transcription factor NF-kB activation was observed spreading from the decidual endothelium to the surrounding spongiotrophoblasts within the first six hours of infection. Maternal TRIF, an adaptor protein downstream of TLR4 pathway, but not NLRP3, a cytosolic signaling receptor that constitutes inflammasome complex, mediated the fetal and neonatal death. In an effort to find a prophylactic preventive method against the detrimental birth outcome induced by F. nucleatum placental infection, omega-3 fatty acids were tested for their anti-inflammatory properties. Omega-3 oil supplementation in pregnant mice inhibited the transcription and release of inflammatory cytokines, prevented fetal and neonatal death, and also suppressed the proliferation of F. nucleatum in the placenta. Moreover, omega-3 supplementation was shown to enhance neutrophil recruitment to the site of infection. However, omega-3 supplementation did not protect the pregnancy from Listeria monocytogenes infection in vivo, despite the in vitro results where inflammation induced by both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria were suppressed by omega-3 fatty acids. This study presents the first direct evidence of maternal, rather than fetal, signal leading to adverse pregnancy outcome, and suggests an exciting therapeutic potential of dietary omega-3 fatty acids.

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) är en neuropsykiatrisk funktionsnedsättning som påverkar många barn i Sverige. Symtomen inkluderar ofta svårigheter att uppmärksamma information, ökad impulsivitet och hyperaktivitet, vilket kan göra det svårt för barnen med ADHD, att fungera i skolan eller i sociala sammanhang. Det är viktigt att diagnostisera och behandla ADHD så tidigt som möjligt för att hjälpa barnen att hantera sina utmaningar och lyckas i skolan och i livet. Forskning tyder på att tillskott av omega-3 och omega-6 fettsyror kan ha positiva effekter på ADHD-symtom, som minskad impulsivitet, hyperaktivitet och ouppmärksamhet. Syftet med denna litteraturstudie är att undersöka huruvida omega-3 och omega-6 fettsyror kan användas som en del av en behandling hos barn som har diagnostiserats med ADHD. En sökning i Pubmed utfördes för att få fram den senaste forskningen kring ADHD, omega-3 och omega-6 fettsyror. Utifrån angivna exklusions och inklusionskriterier valdes fem artiklar ut som undersökte om tillskott med omega-3 och omega-6 fettsyror kan vara en behandlingsmetod för barn med ADHD. Sammanfattningsvis tyder forskning på att tillskott av omega-3 fettsyror kan ha positiva effekter på ADHD-symtom. Det kan vara ett användbart tillägg till konventionell behandling, men är inte en ersättning för den. Ytterligare forskning behövs för att bestämma den optimala användningen och doseringen av dessa tillskott i behandlingen av ADHD.

Cancer mammae är den mest förekommande cancerformen hos kvinnor världen över. Etiologin är för närvarande relativt okänd. I decennier har det förts en diskussion huruvida kost har ett samband med denna fruktade cancerform. Syftet med denna systematiska litteraturstudie var att sammanställa litteratur rörande omega 3 och omega 6 för att undersöka om det finns ett samband med cancer mammae. Litteraturstudiens metod grundar sig på Forsberg & Wengström (2010). Enbart artiklar med kvantitativ design inkluderades i litteraturstudien. Granskning och kvalitetsbedömning av artiklarna gjordes individuellt och sedan gemensamt för att försäkra hög kvalitetsgrad. Tio artiklar av varierande kvalitet inkluderades i litteraturstudien. Resultatet av de tio sammanställda artiklarna tyder på att omega 3 fettsyrorna EPA och DHA har en skyddande effekt mot cancer mammae hos postmenopausala kvinnor. Fettsyran omega 6 visade inte något signifikant resultat. Ytterligare granskning av befintliga studier samt vidare forskning rörande berört ämne bör göras för att kunna implementera denna information i en evidensbaserad omvårdnad. / Cancer mammae is the most common cancer among women worldwide. The etiology is currently relatively unknown. For decades there has been discussion whether the diet has a connection with this dreaded form of cancer. The purpose of this systematic review was to compile literature on omega 3 and omega 6 to examine whether there is a link with cancer mammae. Literature study's methodology is based on Forsberg & Wengström (2010). Only articles with a quantitative design were included in this study. Review and evaluate of the quality of articles were made individually and then jointly to ensure high-quality degree. Ten items of varying quality were included in this study. The results of the ten consolidated articles suggest that omega 3 fatty acids EPA and DHA have a protective effect on cancer mammae in postmenopausal women. Fatty acid omega 6 showed no significant results. Further analysis of existing studies and further research into the substance concerned should be made to implement this information in an evidence based nursing.

Cardiovascular disease and cardiac events are common and serious health conditions in the United States. Nutrition therapy can play a significant role in the management and treatment of cardiovascular disease, which includes cardiac events. This study examined the dietary supplement knowledge and recommendations made by registered dietitians (RDs), cardiologists, physician assistants, and nurse practitioners to treat patients after experiencing a cardiac event. Over 75 cardiologists, physician assistants, and nurse practitioners in the Tricities area of Tennessee and 3,000 RDs nationwide were asked to complete a 15-question web-based survey. Over 280 RDs and only one cardiologist responded. Findings suggest RDs are aware of evidence supporting dietary supplementation in the treatment of general heart health and cardiac events. Additionally, RDs make dietary supplement recommendations as treatment for patients who have experienced a cardiac event, specifically omega-3 fatty acids or fish oil, coenzyme Q10, and plant sterols.

Inflammatory diseases such as PCOS, autoimmune diseases, irritable bowel syndrome, etc. are all highly uncomfortable diseases with several negative side effects. By adding antioxidants and omega-3 fatty acids to patients with inflammatory diseases diets, studies show that symptoms of these diseases will lessen. The objective of this study is to create a banana bread with increased omega-3 fatty acids and increased antioxidants to be served on trays of patients with inflammatory diseases and for patients to make at home to decrease symptoms related to inflammation. The experimental food should be an equal substitute for the control flavor, aroma, and texture wise. The control banana bread was substituted for an anti-inflammatory banana bread with the addition of cinnamon, dark chocolate, extra eggs, and pecans. The banana bread was made without dairy and grain for celiac patients and lactose intolerant patients. Both variations were equally accepted according to the hedonic scale, completed by 9 participants. Research was continued to confirm the of increased omega-3 fatty acids within the anti-inflammatory bread. Furthermore, walnuts were switched for pecans to test the antioxidant and fatty acid composition of both variations. Overall, we found that the walnut variation had more fatty acids, but pecans had more antioxidants. Our research suggests that both variations can be used to accommodate patients with inflammatory diseases. Further research can be done for long-term research for inflammatory disease patients that swapped the control for the variations.
