Leipsic manufacturing plant. When the Eukanuba manufacturing plant at Leipsic, Ohio was owned by P&G, it was P&G's largest dog food plant. [8] Metal detectors are used to detect foreign objects that may have fallen in. Bags are marked by numbers to indicate the day and the hour the food was made using the DD/MM/YYYY format, so that the bags can be traced in case of a recall.
Nutrition Reviews is a monthly peer-reviewed medical journal publishing review articles in the field of nutrition science. It was established by the Nutrition Foundation of New York City under the leadership of Charles Glen King in 1942 [ 1 ] and was acquired by Oxford University Press in 2015.
Carbohydrate counting or "carb" counting is a meal planning tool used in diabetes management to help optimize blood sugar control. [1] It can be used with or without the use of insulin therapy. Carbohydrate counting involves determining whether a food item has carbohydrate followed by the subsequent determination of how much carbohydrate the ...
A study published in the Journal of Feline Medicine and Surgery in 2018 compared the carbohydrate content between grain-free diets and diets containing grains. According to this study the proportion of cat food purchased that is grain free has increased from 4% to 9% between 2012 and 2014. [ 59 ]
Glycosylation also plays a role in cell-to-cell adhesion (a mechanism employed by cells of the immune system) via sugar-binding proteins called lectins, which recognize specific carbohydrate moieties. [2] Glycosylation is an important parameter in the optimization of many glycoprotein-based drugs such as monoclonal antibodies. [6]
Sugar alcohols are carbohydrates with a biochemical structure partially matching the structures of sugar and alcohol, although not containing ethanol. [38] [40] They are not entirely metabolized by the human body. [40] The unabsorbed sugar alcohols may cause bloating and diarrhea due to their osmotic effect, if consumed in sufficient amounts. [41]
Glycosaminoglycans vary greatly in molecular mass, disaccharide structure, and sulfation.This is because GAG synthesis is not template driven, as are proteins or nucleic acids, but constantly altered by processing enzymes.
