Article Abstract
In southern China, little is known about the macronutrient content of donor human milk (DHM), which varies among donor mothers. This study aimed to evaluate the association of mother and infant characteristics with the macronutrient content of DHM. A retrospective analysis was conducted on the anthropometric data, age of delivery, and mode of delivery of 365 healthy donor mothers. In addition, the gender, birth weight, and age of the infants were also recorded. Finally, the relationship between these variables and the macronutrient content in DHM was analyzed. When comparing DHM macronutrient content with age of delivery, mode of delivery, and birth weight, there was no statistical significance. DHM from the obese mother group contained a higher level of macronutrient content (fat, = 0.025; dry matter, = 0.020; energy, = 0.002) than all other groups, including overweight, normal-weight, and low-weight groups. DHM from mothers in the early stage of lactation had a higher amount of total protein ( < 0.001) and true protein ( < 0.001). Statistically significant differences were observed for total protein ( = 0.034), true protein ( = 0.022), and dry matter ( = 0.011) when comparing infant's gender and DHM macronutrient content, with male infants showing higher values. This study indicated that the characteristics of mothers and infants may influence the macronutrient content of DHM. It is important to monitor factors that could affect the nutritional quality of DHM.

The aim of the study was to reduce the chemical fertilizers with microbial inoculant-rich vermicompost, which enhanced the growth, flowering, and soil health of the tuberose crop. A total of six treatments were applied with reducing doses of synthetic fertilizers under a factorial randomized design and replicated thrice. In this study, vermicompost (VC) made from cow dung and vegetable waste utilizing Eisenia foetida and their mixed biomass were enriched with microbial inoculants and assessed for their impact on microbial and enzymatic populations including urease, acid phosphatase activity and dehydrogenase activity in soil, nutrient availability, and tuberose development and flowering.

This narrative review describes the composition of eggs, the properties of individual nutrients, and the impact of their deficiency or excess on human health, and the development of several pathologies. The chemical-physical properties of the proteins and lipids contained in eggs and the environmental impact linked to their production are also considered.

Background: Adequate nutrition is essential for growth and development during infancy and early childhood; however, the healthfulness and cost of commercial infant and toddler food and beverage products (ITP) have not been documented in Canada.
Objective: This study assessed the nutritional quality and prices of ITP in the Canadian food supply.
Design: Using the Food Label Information and Price 2020 database, ITP intended for children < 4-years-old ( = 423) were examined for their energy and nutrient content (per 100 g or mL), the prevalence of products 'High in' nutrient(s)-of-concern (according to Canadian front-of-pack labelling thresholds), and their price (per 100 g or mL).
Watermelon juice microfiltration: optimization to maximize antioxidant compounds and influence mineral content.

Traditional methods for fruit juice preservation use high temperatures, which degrade beneficial compounds like vitamins and antioxidants. Membrane filtration provides a gentler alternative, preserving nutrients through mild operating temperatures. This study assessed the temperature and pressure influence on watermelon juice microfiltration, focusing on permeated flow, lycopene, sugars, phenolic compounds, and flavonoids.

Wild mushrooms can be an important source of protein and essential amino acids, however very little is known about the environmental factors affecting the content of these compounds. In our study, we investigated the influence of soil properties (soil type, C/N ratio, pH) and tree stand characteristics (tree diversity, canopy cover, understory cover, and the proportion of deciduous trees) on total protein and essential amino acids (Valine, Leucine, Isoleucine, Phenylalanine, Lysine, Methionine, Arginine, Histidine) contents in seven wild-growing mushroom species (Macrolepiota procera, Rhodocolybia butyracea, Russula cyanoxantha, R.heterophylla, Lactifluus vellereus, Armillaria mellea s.
