In India, nearly three hundred million children are under the age of 15. School age period is nutritionally significant. During this age micronutrient deficiencies, such as those of iron, iodine and vitamin A are common. Malnutrition can interfere with school performance; impair body function, working ability and physical growth. Snacks form an integral part of diet of school children. Children need to eat every four to six hours to maintain a blood glucose level high enough to support mental and physical activities. However, the type and amount of snacks consumed can be a source of concern as during this period the likes and dislikes of children become stronger and there is a strong influence of environmental and psychological factors on their choice. Popular snacks among youngsters are high in fat, sugar, energy and some are also high in salt which are of little nutritional value.

Aging is a natural process. Older people are at a risk of malnutrition, not only because of food insecurity, but also due to various social, physiological and health changes with aging. However, very few studies have been done in developing countries to identify and manage their health care needs. Hence, the present study was taken up to assess the socio-economic, somatic and dietary status of elderly people living in old age home and in community set-up in a small town Virudhunagar, Tamil Nadu with a total of 100 subjects (50 from old age home and 50 community dwelling). A questionnaire was developed to record personal data, socio-economic status and dietary pattern. Maximum percentage of elders in the community life belonged to the age group 66-75 years (44%) whereas, majority of elders (44%) in old age home were in the age group of 76-95 years. The anthropometric measurements were recorded using standard procedures. Majority of the respondents from both old age home (75% M and 42.3% F) and community life (65.2% M and 48.2% F) were found to be in normal BMI range. Dietary intake was based on 24 hour dietary recall method. The percentage adequacy for macro and micronutrient intake was better among community life than old age home respondents except for beta carotene. The overall nutritional status of the community life respondents was better than that of old age home. The study recommended regular assessment of nutritional status of elderly population in maintaining their health status.Keywords

Pregnancy is one of the most 'critical and unique' period in a woman's life cycle. Nutritional status of the pregnant woman influences the state and future course of development of offspring. Poor maternal nutrition is reported to be one of the major determinants for intrauterine growth retardation in both developed and developing countries.- Development of Ready to Cook (RTC) Edible Coated Foxtail Millet Pulao Mix

Foxtail millet (Setaria italica) consumption remains restricted only to certain parts of the population due to lack of information on its potential role in value addition and also in the prevention of type 2 diabetes and others. The unavailability of ready-to-cook food products from foxtail millet also constricts its usage. Foxtail millet is traditionally dehusked before consumption. Dehusking is essential because the outer layer is fibrous, tough and causes irritation while swallowing. However in the present study, to compensate the losses of phytochemicals present in the outer husk, edible coatings (gum acacia, fenugreek seeds, curry leaf and aloe vera) were applied on the dehusked grain. Further, a Ready-to-Cook (RTC) pulao mix was standardized using edible coated foxtail millet, dehydrated vegetables, herbs and spices. Controls used were rice and uncoated foxtail millet. Products were evaluated organoleptically by semi-trained panellists. The highest overall acceptability was for the control rice pulao mix (7.8) followed by curry leaf coated mix (7.3), uncoated mix (7.1), fenugreek seeds coated mix (7.0), gum acacia coated mix (6.9) and then aloe vera coated mix (6.8). The shelf life of pulao mix was also studied. Samples were packed in High Density Poly Ethylene (HDPE) pouches and stored at ambient conditions for three months. No microbial load was found in all the fresh samples. In both the controls- rice and uncoated millet, yeast was found at the 90th day of storage whereas no yeast was found in the coated samplesKeywords
