Environmental Metrics of World Cuisine Recipes' Plant-Based Substitutes: Greenhouse Gas Emissions, Water Footprint, and Land Use

Introduction/Objective: Evidence has shown that consuming plant-based foods instead of animal-based foods has positive effects on human and planet health. The current study aimed to compare animal-based recipes (ABRs) and plant-based recipes (PBRs) nutritionally and environmentally. Methods: Plant-based recipes (adapted from animal-based recipes) were obtained from the “Vegan Nutrition with Healthy and Delicious Recipes” book for inclusion in this study. Nutrient components, including energy content, energy density (ED), macro and micronutrient profiles, such as environmental metrics, which are greenhouse gas emissions (GHGE), water footprint (WF), and land use (LU), were calculated and compared between animal-based and plant-based recipes. Results: While dietary fiber and insoluble fiber were higher, protein, total fat, saturated fatty acids, monounsaturated fatty acids, vitamin B12, and zinc contents were lower in PBRs, compared to ABRs. With exceptions (magnolia, muffins, and vegan souffle), medians GHGS, WF, and LU of PBRs were lower than those of ABRs. Plant-based hamburgers and meatballs, whose main ingredients were fresh vegetables, had the lowest environmental impact. Conclusion: It is well known that human diet and food choices are among the main components that contribute to environmental impact. Although the ecological footprints of foods and recipes are essential in the diet, their nutrient densities should not be overlooked. Enriching the nutritional values of the foods used in PBRs may improve their dietary values. In addition, it should also be forgotten that using high amounts of non-nutritious foods, such as sugar, in PBRs due to their low ecological impact is incorrect.

Rheological effects of high-pressure processing and high-pressure homogenization on not-from-concentrate orange juice.

'Not-from-concentrate' (NFC) orange juice faces stability challenges. Its rheological properties are also important for optimizing processes such as pumping. These issues affect companies in terms of their cost implications, and they affect product quality and consumer acceptance directly. This study investigates the rheological properties of NFC orange juice subjected to high-pressure homogenization (HPH) following high-pressure processing (HPP). The viscosity coefficient (k) of HPH-treated orange juice reduced significantly, by 92.16%, and was accompanied by a 163.82% increase in the flow coefficient (n) and a 48.12% increase in zeta potential. High-pressure processing treatment reduced viscosity effectively while enhancing the fluidity and stability of the orange juice. However, no significant differences were observed in the major functional groups or particle size distribution in comparison with a thermal pasteurization (TP) group. Alterations in the polysaccharide structure were identified as the primary reason for the observed changes in rheological properties. Specifically, the molecular weight (Mw) of soluble dietary fiber (SDF) increased, whereas the Mw of cellulose decreased in the HPP treated juice. This correlated with the results for viscosity, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and scanning electron microscope (SEM) analyses. In comparison with the TP group, the fluidity, and stability of HPH orange juice after HPP were enhanced significantly, and the viscosity was reduced. This speeds up the juice-pumping process, reducing energy consumption and costs. The combination of HPP and HPH pretreatment effectively improved the physical properties and sensory quality of orange juice. © 2025 Society of Chemical Industry.

Association between glycemic index and glycemic load of the diet, insulin, and breast cancer: A case-control study.

e12515 Background: Despite advances in studies regarding the association between diet and the diagnosis of breast cancer, there is still controversy regarding the association between dietary patterns with high glycemic index (GI) and glycemic load (GL). Therefore, the objective of the study was to investigate the association between GI and GL of the diet and blood insulin levels with the diagnosis of BC, according to menopausal status, in women from the Central-West region of Brazil. Methods: Case-control study with 114 cases and 220 controls. The groups were matched by age, body mass index and menopausal status. Body composition was measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), food consumption was assessed through three 24-hour dietary recalls, fasting blood glucose and insulin after 12 hours of fasting. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed, considering significant associations when p <0.05. Results: Energy and fat intake increased the chances of developing BC. Premenopausal women were more likely to develop the disease with increased intake of insoluble fiber (ORadj=1.08, p=0.044) and GL (ORadj=1.05, p=0.030). In the postmenopausal group, higher intake of total CHO, GI, GL, fats and proteins increased the chance of BC diagnosis. Conclusions: Dietary GL was positively associated with increased BC risk in the total sample. In premenopausal women, higher intake of insoluble fibers and dietary GL were associated with the disease. In postmenopausal women, total CHO, proteins and fats showed similar trends. Serum insulin showed no association with the diagnosis.
