Ketone bodies are a highly relevant topic in nutrition and medicine. -e influence of medium-chain triglycerides (MCT) on ketogenesis is well known and has been successfully used in ketogenic diets for many years. Nevertheless, the effects of MCTs and coconut oil on the production of ketone bodies have only partially been investigated. Furthermore, the increased mobilisation of free fatty acids and release of catabolic hormones by caffeine suggest an influence of caffeine on ketogenesis. Methods. In a controlled, double-blind intervention study, seven young healthy subjects received 10mL of tricaprylin (C8), tricaprin (C10), C8/C10 (50\% C8, 50\% C10), or coconut oil with or without 150 mg of caffeine, in 250mL of decaffeinated coffee, over ten interventions. At baseline and after every 40 minutes, for 4 h, ßHB and glucose in capillary blood as well as caffeine in saliva were measured. Furthermore, questionnaires were used to survey sensory properties, side effects, and awareness of hunger and satiety. Results. -e interventions with caffeine caused an increase in ßHB levels—in particular, the interventions with C8 highly impacted ketogenesis. -e effect decreased with increased chain lengths. All interventions showed a continuous increase in hunger and diminishing satiety. Mild side effects (total � 12) occurred during the interventions. Conclusions. -e present study demonstrated an influence of caffeine and MCTon ketogenesis. -eaddition of caffeine showed an additive effect on the ketogenic potential of MCT and coconut oil. C8 showed the highest ketogenicity.}, language = {en} } @article{BorghoffStrassnerHerzig2023, author = {Borghoff, Lisa Marie and Strassner, Carola and Herzig, Christian}, title = {Organic Juice Processing Quality from the Processors' Perspective: A Qualitative Study}, series = {foods}, journal = {foods}, publisher = {MDPI}, doi = {10.25974/fhms-15699}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:hbz:836-opus-156994}, pages = {1 -- 18}, year = {2023}, abstract = {Organic food quality is based on processing. While the EU organic production regulation focuses on agricultural production, private standards provide more detailed information about further processing. For the development of organic processing, practitioner perspectives can provide valuable input. To get insight into practitioner perspectives, we conducted semi-structured expert interviews with nine employees of seven partly organic juice processing companies from Germany and Austria. Interview topics were (i) quality of organic juice processing in general, (ii) assessment of specific processing techniques, (iii) product quality of organic juice and (iv) flow of information between producer and consumer. We conducted a thematic analysis. We found that the experts' understanding of process quality mostly includes more aspects than the EU organic production regulation. It covers the whole food chain plus aspects of social and environmental sustainability. The experts prefer directly bottled juice of local raw materials but chiefly accept juice made from concentrate of exotic raw materials because of environmental concerns. Organic juice is preferred when it is cloudy and natural fluctuations are interpreted as an indicator of natural quality. The experts report that consumer information is challenging because of low food literacy. Raising this might help reduce the number of processed juices on the market.}, language = {en} } @article{BorghoffStrassnerHerzig2023, author = {Borghoff, Lisa Marie and Strassner, Carola and Herzig, Christian}, title = {Processors' understanding of process quality: a qualitative interview study with employees of organic dairies in Germany and Switzerland}, series = {British Food Journal}, journal = {British Food Journal}, publisher = {Emerald Publishing}, issn = {0007-070X}, doi = {10.25974/fhms-15701}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:hbz:836-opus-157019}, pages = {1 -- 32}, year = {2023}, abstract = {Purpose: Organic food processing must include organic principles to be authentic. This qualitative study aims to understand the processors' understanding of organic food processing quality. Design/methodology/approach: This study is based on semi-structured expert interviews with eight employees of six purely or partly organic dairies from Germany and Switzerland. Interview themes are (1) quality of organic milk processing in general, (2) assessment of specific processing techniques, (3) product quality of organic milk and (4) flow of information between producer and consumer. The interviews have been audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim and thematically analysed. Findings: (1) Experts prefer minimal processing; some prefer artisanal processing, whilst others stress the advantages of mechanisation. (2) High temperature short time (HTST) pasteurisation and mechanical processing techniques are accepted; ultra-high-temperature (UHT) milk processing is partly rejected. (3) Traditional taste and valuable ingredients should be present in the final product. Natural variances are judged positively. (4) Consumers' low level of food technology literacy is challenging for communication. Research limitations/implications: The results cannot be generalised due to the qualitative study design. Further studies, e.g. qualitative case analyses and studies with a quantitative design, are necessary to deepen the results. Practical implications: The paper shows which processing technologies experts consider suitable or unsuitable for organic milk. The paper also identifies opportunities to bridge the perceived gap between processors' and consumers' demands. Originality/value: The study shows the challenges of processors in expressing the processors' understanding of process quality.}, language = {en} } @article{CleverSchattoEckrodtCleveretal.2023, author = {Clever, Lena and Schatto-Eckrodt, Tim and Clever, Nico and Frischlich, Lena}, title = {Behind Blue Skies: A Multimodal Automated Content Analysis of Islamic Extremist Propaganda on Instagram}, series = {Social Media + Society}, volume = {9}, journal = {Social Media + Society}, number = {1}, doi = {10.25974/fhms-17946}, year = {2023}, language = {en} } @article{FischerElpersOchetal.2019, author = {Fischer, T. and Elpers, C. and Och, U. and Fobker, M. and Marquardt, T.}, title = {Ketone body therapy with D/L-ß-hydroxybutyric acid solution in severe MADD, Molecular Genetics and Metabolism Reports}, series = {Molecular Genetics and Metabolism Reports}, journal = {Molecular Genetics and Metabolism Reports}, doi = {10.25974/fhms-17113}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:hbz:836-opus-171133}, pages = {1 -- 5}, year = {2019}, language = {en} } @article{FischerNjorogeOchetal.2019, author = {Fischer, T. and Njoroge, H. and Och, U. and Klawon, I. and Marquardt, T.}, title = {Ketogenic diet treatment in adults with glycogenosis type IIIa (Morbus Cori)}, series = {Clinical Nutrition Experimental}, volume = {28}, journal = {Clinical Nutrition Experimental}, doi = {10.25974/fhms-17094}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:hbz:836-opus-170947}, pages = {83 -- 91}, year = {2019}, language = {en} } @article{FischerOchKlawonetal.2018, author = {Fischer, T. and Och, U. and Klawon, I. and Och, T. and Gr{\"u}neberg, M. and Fobker, M. and Bordewick-Dell, U. and Marquardt, T.}, title = {Effect of a sodium and calcium DL-ß-hydroxybutyrate salt in healthy adults}, series = {Journal of Nutrition and Metabolism}, volume = {2018}, journal = {Journal of Nutrition and Metabolism}, doi = {10.25974/fhms-17118}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:hbz:836-opus-171188}, pages = {1 -- 8}, year = {2018}, language = {en} } @book{FuchsSahakianGumpertetal.2021, author = {Fuchs, Doris and Sahakian, Marlyne and Gumpert, Tobias and Gumpert, Antonietta and Maniates, Michael and Lorek, Sylvia and Graf, Antonia}, title = {Consumption Corridors - Living a Good Life within Sustainable Limits}, publisher = {Routledge}, address = {London}, isbn = {9780367748722}, doi = {10.25974/fhms-16057}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:hbz:836-opus-160579}, publisher = {FH M{\"u}nster - University of Applied Sciences}, pages = {110}, year = {2021}, abstract = {Consumption Corridors: Living a Good Life within Sustainable Limits explores how to enhance peoples' chances to live a good life in a world of ecological and social limits. Rejecting familiar recitations of problems of ecological decline and planetary boundaries, this compact book instead offers a spirited explication of what everyone desires: a good life. Fundamental concepts of the good life are explained and explored, as are forces that threaten the good life for all. The remedy, says the book's seven international authors, lies with the concept of consumption corridors, enabled by mechanisms of citizen engagement and deliberative democracy. Across fve concise chapters, readers are invited into conversation about how wellbeing can be enriched by social change that joins "needs satisfaction" with consumerist restraint, social justice, and environmental sustainability. In this endeavour, lower limits of consumption that ensure minimal needs satisfaction for all are important, and enjoy ample precedent. But upper limits to consumption, argue the authors, are equally essential, and attainable, especially in those domains where limits enhance rather than undermine essential freedoms.}, language = {en} } @article{HeidtFobkerNewportetal.2023, author = {Heidt, C. and Fobker, M. and Newport, M. and Feldmann, R. and Fischer, T. and Marquardt, T.}, title = {Beta-Hydroxybutyrate (BHB), Glucose, Insulin, Octanoate (C8), and Decanoate (C10) Responses to a Medium-Chain Triglyceride (MCT) Oil with and without Glucose: A Single-Center Study in Healthy Adults}, series = {Nutrients}, volume = {15}, journal = {Nutrients}, number = {5}, doi = {10.25974/fhms-17085}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:hbz:836-opus-170851}, pages = {1 -- 17}, year = {2023}, language = {en} } @misc{HusainHillmannHengstetal.2023, author = {Husain, Sarah and Hillmann, Katharina and Hengst, Karin and Englert, Heike}, title = {Effects of a lifestyle intervention on the biomarkers of oxidative stress in non-communicable diseases: A systematic review}, series = {Frontiers in Aging}, journal = {Frontiers in Aging}, publisher = {Frontiers Journal}, address = {Germany}, doi = {10.25974/fhms-16082}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:hbz:836-opus-160827}, year = {2023}, abstract = {Oxidative stress plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of chronic diseases. Therefore, improvement of oxidative stress status through lifestyle intervention can play a vital role in preventing and treating chronic diseases. This systematic review aims to provide an overview of articles published in the last decade examining the association between lifestyle intervention and oxidative stress biomarkers in the context of non-communicable diseases. The electronic databases PubMed and Web of Science were searched for relevant studies, following the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting of Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines. This systematic review focused on the four important oxidative stress biomarkers; glutathione (GSH), superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase, and malondialdehyde. 671 articles were identified, of which nine met the inclusion criteria. A trend emerged, showing that lifestyle modifications that focus on diet and physical health can improve oxidative stress in the form of an increase in superoxide dismutase and CAT levels and a decrease in Malondialdehyde levels in participants with non-communicable diseases (NCDs), GSH levels were not affected. However, the results are difficult to compare because of the heterogeneity of the methods of the biomarkers studied. Our review indicates that oxidative stress can be influenced by lifestyle modifications and may be an effective tool for the prevention and management of non-communicable diseases. This review also elucidated the importance of analyzing multiple oxidative stress biomarkers to evaluate oxidative stress, it further highlights the need to conduct long-term lifestyle intervention studies on oxidative stress biomarkers to understand the connection between oxidative stress biomarkers, NCDs and Lifestyle intervention.}, language = {en} }
