Profile of Nutrition of Rural Adolescent Girls
The socio-cultural and demographic milieu is crucial to the understanding of the Nutritional status of different population groups. The different parameters of nutrition status viz., anthropometric, dietary, bio-chemical and functional indicators can throw light on different levels degrees of nutritional status. A profile of these indicators particularly that of the valuable groups is essential for early detection of malnutrition, selection of appropriate interventions, selection of relevant strategies to combat the different types of malnutrition. Adolescents, girls in particular are potential groups that determine the present and the future quality of human life. In this context an analysis of their nutrition and consequent functional and health status is of paramount importance
Iron Fortification of Foods
Iron Fortification of Foods discusses in detail the problems encountered with different iron sources in staple foods, beverages, condiments, and salt, as well as provides a “how to approach toward solving these problems in both developed and developing countries. Organized into three parts, the book begins with the discussion on the prevalence, causes, and treatment of anemia, as well as the effect of food on the availability of iron fortificants. It then describes the different iron sources, their interaction with food, and their bioavailability. Lastly, it explores the critical area of product application. The book significantly provides needed information for almost anyone, in any country, interested in fortifying food with iron and in treating iron deficiency anemia.

These seminars and this book were financed primarily through the Wise and Helen Burroughs Lectureship endowment generously established by the late Dr. Wise Burroughs and his wife Helen. This book comprises 12 chapters, and begins with a focus on amino acid analysis in food and physiological samples. Succeeding chapters go on to discuss concepts and techniques on nitrogen balance; determination of the amino acid requirements of animals; and novel methods for determining protein and amino acid digestibilities in feedstuffs. Other chapters cover ...
