Osteoporosis is a globally prevalent metabolic bone condition characterized by fragile and low density of bones commonly affecting elderly individuals. It arises from a combination of factors, which include aging, lifestyle choices, genetics and insufficient nutritional resources to sustain optimal bone mineral density (BMD). This condition elevates the risk of bone fractures and is often a…
Childhood malnutrition, particularly wasting, remains a significant and persistent challenge in Malaysian children under 5 years old, with current prevalence reported at 11% in 2022. Child-related factors, such as birth weight, morbidity, vaccination completeness, feeding practices, and dietary diversity have been found to provide a direct and immediate influence on children’s overall nut…
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are mainly caused by postprandial lipemia (PPL), an increase of triglycerides-rich lipoprotein level in blood between time after a meal. Food consumption containing dietary fiber has been reported to lower blood triglycerides accumulation. Hence, this study aims to understand the effect of soluble non-viscous dietary fiber towards the lipid absorption in the food …

Soybean (Glycine max L.), a species of legumes, is a well-known source of highquality plant-based protein widely cultivated in Asia. An intake of ≥25 g/day of soy protein has been reported to be associated with a lot of health outcomes. In Indonesia, soybean is one of the most favored protein sources. In order to understand the frequencies and amounts of macro- and/or micronutrients from …
The consumpon of ultra processed food (UPF) has been rapidly increasing globally. This is concerning, as UPFs are characterised by high levels of sugar, fat, sodium and has been associated with the increasing prevalence of obesity and non-communicable diseases (NCDs). Despite the growing concern over UPFs, there has been lile aenon given to…
India has the second-highest type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) due to the South Asian phenotype, poor lipid profile, and unbalanced dietary pattern. Evidence has been discovered that single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the lipoprotein lipase (LPL) and cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) genes are linked to differences in lipid levels in response to dietary intake. Hence, this revie…
Nutrition is one of the most important determinants of individual and public health. An increasingly informed public expects its health and food professionals to be able to offer clear, evidence-based advice on diet and associated health implications, but how can established nutrition principles be extracted from the extensive body of often misleading information available in the public domain?…

While there is little dispute that probiotics and prebiotics, alone and together, have been proven to promote gastrointestinal health and proper immune function, the challenge faced by researchers is finding not only the right combinations, but also finding those that are fully compatible with the formulation, processing, packaging, and distribution of functional foods. The Handbook of Prebioti…
