“…6,19,[32][33][34][35] For vegetables, Kimchi intake was higher in the low-education group, which is consistent with the results of a previous Korean study. 5 In contrast, vegetable intake without Kimchi was lower in the low-education group.…”

). The FV intakes were examined using 24-h dietary-recall surveys (n ¼ 35 725) and food frequency questionnaires (n ¼ 35 400). The relative index of inequality (RII) was used to examine the magnitude and trend of inequality in insufficient FV intake (o500 gram/day for total FV; o100 gram/day, less than once per day for fruits) between educational levels. RESULTS: The low-education group had lower intakes of total FV, vegetables excluding Kimchi and fruit (both by frequency and quantity), but higher intakes of Kimchi, in both sexes in most years in which surveys were conducted. This group also had a higher proportion of adults with insufficient total FV and fruit intakes. The inequality, as indicated by the RII, was apparent in both sexes and in each survey year. The inequality in insufficient total FV intake increased between 1998 and 2009 in both sexes (Po0.05). An increase in the inequality in fruit intake was only detected in women (Po0.0001 for frequency and P ¼ 0.0285 for quantity, from 2007 to 2009). CONCLUSION: There is a wide discrepancy in total FV and fruit consumption across education levels among Korean adults. This inequality has increased over time for total FV intake in both sexes and for fruit intake in women.

“…Since the 2000 survey, nine provinces across four regions have been included in the CHNS: Northeast China (Heilongjiang, Liaoning), East Coast (Shandong, Jiangsu), Central China (Hennan, Hubei, Hunan) and West China (Gunagxi, Guizhou), which covers all levels of socio-economic development in China. The survey is described in detail elsewhere (19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25) . The present study used data from the CHNS 2009 survey, which included a total of 2745 persons aged 60 years or over with dietary data.…”

Objective: To evaluate dietary intake based on the Chinese Food Pagoda (CFP) and to determine what factors may be associated with adherence to CFP guidelines for older Chinese. Design: This cross-sectional population-based study used 24 h recall over three consecutive days to assess dietary intake and adherence to CFP among older Chinese participating in the China Health and Nutrition Survey 2009. Setting: Nine provinces across four diverse regions (Northeast, East Coast, Central and West). Subjects: A total of 2745 older Chinese, aged 60-69 years (n 1563) and ≥70 years (n 1182), with dietary data. Results: None of the participants reached all ten food group recommendations. More than half of the participants exceeded the recommended amount for grains (63 %), oil (62·8 %) and salt (55·7 %). Ten per cent of the participants consumed dairy, while merely 0·5 % met the recommended amount. Average Chinese Food Pagoda Score (CFPS) was 3·3 in men and 3·5 in women, far below the maximum possible score of 10. Women had 0·26 higher CFPS than men (P < 0·001; 95 % CI 0·16, 0·36). People living in medium and high urbanicity areas had significantly higher scores than those living in low urbanicity areas (P < 0·001). Also, there were significant differences in CFPS according to gender, BMI, work status, education level and region. Conclusions: Few older Chinese are meeting the intake of the various food groups based on the recommendations in the CFP guidelines, thus increasing the risk of malnutrition and non-communicable diseases. Action is needed to increase dissemination and uptake of nutrition education, with interventions targeted at socio-economic regions. Moreover, specific dietary guidelines for older Chinese people should be developed.

“…High consumption of fruits and vegetables has been associated with a lowered incidence of degenerative diseases including cancer, heart disease, inflammation, arthritis, immune system decline, brain dysfunction and cataracts [1][2][3][4][5][6][7]. These protective effects are considered, in large part, to be related to the various antioxidants contained in them.…”

The objective of the present work was to adapt the Prussian Blue reaction for the determination of ascorbic acid. The procedure was successfully applied for the determination of ascorbic acid in red and white grapes (Vitis vinifera L.) just previous ingathering. In the present work was used the red and white grapes from Murfatlar vineyard: Mamaia, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Sauvignon, Muscat Ottonel and Riesling Italian. The results were situated in the range of 0.67 -1.79 mg vitamin C/100g product for red grapes and respectively 0.50 -1.49 mg vitamin C/100g for white grapes.
