Nutritional Status And Dietary Perceptions In Colorectal Cancer Patients Undergoing Adjuvant Chemotherapy, Wipapak Raksawongsa
Nutritional Status And Dietary Perceptions In Colorectal Cancer Patients Undergoing Adjuvant Chemotherapy, Wipapak Raksawongsa
Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)
Colorectal cancer treatment usually involves surgical resection following by adjuvant chemotherapy. Pathology and treatment are major causes of malnutrition. Therefore, this group of patients should receive specific nutritional counseling. Changes in eating behavior occur when the patients perceive the benefits of changes. Dietary perceptions information is useful in nutrition care. The aim of this prospective study was to examine the effect of individualized nutritional counseling on the nutritional status and dietary perceptions of 35 colorectal cancer patients receiving adjuvant chemotherapy at King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital from March to November 2019. The data were collected during the first to the third …
Effects Of Astaxanthin Supplementation On Biological Parameters In Thai Healthy Volunteers, Chuenjai Sratongfaeng
Effects Of Astaxanthin Supplementation On Biological Parameters In Thai Healthy Volunteers, Chuenjai Sratongfaeng
Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)
Astaxanthin, a powerful antioxidant, is widely used as a dietary supplement to promote several health benefits. However, the effects of long-term supplementation on general biological parameters in healthy adults is still insufficient. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of 12-week astaxanthin supplementation on blood glucose, lipid profile and hematological parameters in healthy volunteers. Thirty-three healthy participants (16 in the experimental group and 17 in the placebo group) were enrolled in the study. The participants in the experimental group were supplemented with 4 mg/day of astaxanthin while those in the placebo group were supplemented with soybean oil …
Development Of Composite Film Coating For Freeze-Dried Fruit Slices, Nichayarach Invichian
Development Of Composite Film Coating For Freeze-Dried Fruit Slices, Nichayarach Invichian
Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)
Edible film coating on food before freeze-drying process can be used for food preservation, especially in heat-sensitive food such as fruits and vegetables. Previous studies have been reported that trehalose had the cryoprotective effect and unique properties such as non-reducing sugar and low hygroscopic. However, no research has been conducted on the use of trehalose as film coatings. Therefore, this study aimed to develop a composite film consisting of alginate and trehalose and to evaluate physical properties of freeze-dried fruit slices coated with a composite film. The experiment was designed to prepare a composite film consisting of various concentrations of …
