In the low-income population, FV voucher delivery decreased the proportion of low FV consumers at 3 months. Longer-term studies are needed to assess their impact on nutritional status.
This study was conducted to evaluate quality and structural changes in parallelepipedic pieces of pears during convective drying at different air temperatures (30-70 degrees C). Submitted to atmospheric O-2 conditions, ascorbic acid deterioration demonstrated first-order kinetic behaviour and was found to depend on air temperature and pear moisture...

Tropical fruit residues consisting of seeds, peels and residual pulp generated as by-products of fruit processing industry were investigated for bioactive compounds, the in vitro antioxidant capacity as well as alpha-glucosidase and alpha-amylase inhibitory activities. Cyanidin, quercetin, ellagic acid (EA) and proanthocyanidins were found in acero...
