The major sources of food are plants and animals. Most of the food has its origin in plants. Some food is obtained directly from plants but even animals that are use as a food source or as by feeding them food derived from plants serial grain is a staple food that provides more food energy worldwide that other types of crops. The healthy and balanced diets from food groups including the different agro base industries like livestock and dairy development, poultry, aqua culture, api culture, crop production. Nutrition is the study of food at work in our body, are the source of energy and the medium for which our nutrients can function. The essential nutrients for life include carbohydrates, protiens, lipids, vitamins, minerals and water in the solvent for all soluble ingredients in the blood and cell. The study reported that the industry of food and nutrition are necessary for the development of health, basic need of life, absorbing millions of technical and non-technical person, generate income, create employment, reduce financial crises, poverty and hunger in the world.

This study presents a systematic review of the available literature on the uses, benefits and limitations of online nutrition related information promoted though influencers among the general public. A systematic search of the literature was conducted using electronic databases to locate peer-reviewed studies published between 2014 and 2018 on the themes of nutrition in social media, digital health information and online nutrition information. Based on the findings, the paper will also provide recommendations for health practitioners on ways to utilize the rising power of digital health information to positively impact the public’s health.

Title: Fucoidan is the nutraceutic for support of homeostasis of metabolic indicators and systems of their regulation
Biography:
Abstract:
Sustentation of homeostatic processes is the basic principle of vital activity of organism. Even small swings of concentration of some metabolites in the blood, especially glucose, lead to a violation of course of metabolic processes and pose a threat to viral activity of organism. Neuro-hormonal system, cytokine system and number of cell signaling systems participate in regulation of rate of metabolic processes. The influence of pharmaceutical preparations on these regulation systems can promote the development of serious complications, so there is an active search of natural food compounds with high bioactivity. The greatest interest in this situation is fucoidan, which is sulfated polysaccharide of brown seaweed. It is shown that it: (1) Supports the work of the central nervous system by moderately reducing the death of cholinergic neurons and maintaining the level of dopamine, (2) interferes with the development of hormonal imbalance, (3) promotes a decrease in the level of inflammatory cytokines in the blood and maintenance of the concentration of proinflammatory, (4) improves the functioning of the insulin cascade signaling systems at the mTOR kinase level by activating the translation process, (5) leads to a decrease in free radicals (antioxidant) and the restoration of their level (a prooxidant), and (6) supports the homeostasis of the coagulation system due to anticoagulant and procoagulant properties. In this way, fucoidan should be attributed to nutraceuticals that promote health, improve quality and longevity of a person.

Title: Evaluating the chicken fillet corruption packaged with active coatings stored at the refrigerator temperature using bromothymol blue smart indicator
Biography:
Abstract:
Poultry is to a rather high extent perishable and will quickly become rotten if kept in inappropriate conditions. Using active antimicrobial coating is one of the methods for prolonging the shelf life of such products. In this study, a sample of uncoated chicken fillet was used as control sample and another chicken fillet samples with active antimicrobial coatings of chitosan and an active chitosan-nissan coating were used as the experimental sample. The chicken fillets coated with the abovementioned active coatings were packaged to prevent contamination with conventional cellophane and the smart indicator, as the color indicator of bromothymol blue in this study (5 ml indicator was added between the two layers of cellophane in 5×6 dimensions), was packaged in both packages containing chicken fillet with active coating and the control sample without active coating. Then, the samples were stored at 4ºC for seven days and the microbiological tests (total bacterial count) of TVN and pH tests were performed for 1, 3, 5 and 7 days. Finally, the relationship between these tests and the change in the color of chicken fillet was investigated. The results of this study indicated that the Bromothymol blue color at the pH range of 6-7, being blue in alkali pH and yellow acidic pH, can be used for evaluating the chicken fillet corruption packaged with active coatings.
