Peer education has become a popular strategy for health promotion interventions with adolescents, but it has not been used widely in school‐based nutrition education. This paper describes and reports on the feasibility of the peer leader component of school‐based nutrition intervention for young adolescents designed to increase fruit and vegetable intakes and lower-fat foods. About 1,000 seventh‐grade students in eight schools received the nutrition intervention. Of these, 272 were trained as peer leaders to assist the teacher in implementing the activities. Results from a multicomponent process evaluation based on peer leader and classroom student feedback, direct classroom observation, and teacher …

Analysis Of Betaine And Choline Contents Of Aleurone, Bran, And Flour Fractions Of Wheat (Triticum Aestivum L.) Using 1h Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (Nmr) Spectroscopy, Stewart F. Graham, James Hollis, Marie Migaud, Roy A. Browne Jan 2009

Analysis Of Betaine And Choline Contents Of Aleurone, Bran, And Flour Fractions Of Wheat (Triticum Aestivum L.) Using 1h Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (Nmr) Spectroscopy, Stewart F. Graham, James Hollis, Marie Migaud, Roy A. Browne

In conventional milling, the aleurone layer is combined with the bran fraction. Studies indicate that the bran fraction of wheat contains the majority of the phytonutrients betaine and choline, with relatively minor concentrations in the refined flour. This present study suggests that the wheat aleurone layer (Triticum aestivum L. cv. Tiger) contains the greatest concentration of both betaine and choline (1553.44 and 209.80 mg/100 g of sample, respectively). The bran fraction contained 866.94 and 101.95 mg/100 g of sample of betaine and choline, respectively, while the flour fraction contained 23.30 mg/100 g of sample (betaine) and 28.0 mg/100 g of …
