English

Subject field(s)
  • Surgery
  • Digestive Tract
CONT

Bariatric surgery, which is also known as weight-loss surgery, aids weight loss and reduces the risks of obesity-related diseases. The surgery falls into two categories : Malabsorptive weight-loss surgery, and restrictive weight-loss surgery. Malabsorptive weight-loss surgery limits the amount of nutrients your body absorbs, while restrictive weight-loss surgery restricts the amount of food you can consume.

  • Surgery
  • The Stomach
CONT

Gastric sleeve surgery is a type of weight-loss surgery.... This surgery is also known as sleeve gastrectomy or vertical sleeve gastrectomy(VSG). Gastric sleeve surgery restricts your food intake, which leads to weight loss.... Most of the left part of the stomach is removed. The remaining stomach is then a narrow tube called a sleeve. Food empties out of the bottom of the stomach into the small intestine the same way that it did before surgery.

Subject field(s)
  • Surgery
  • Digestive Tract
CONT

Biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch is a modification of the biliopancreatic diversion procedure ... Biliopancreatic diversion is primarily a malabsorptive procedure. The standard procedure involves the removal of part of the stomach (a limited horizontal gastrectomy) to limit oral intake and induce weight loss. ... The combination of biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch is an additional adaptation of the standard procedure. It has a sleeve gastrectomy rather than a horizontal gastrectomy.

CONT

In a biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch, a portion of the stomach is removed but the pylorus remains intact. The pylorus, which controls food drainage from the stomach, is connected to a lower segment of the intestine. The duodenum is connected to the lower part of the small intestine. The food you eat then bypasses much of the small intestine. This results in fewer calories absorbed and weight loss.

Subject field(s)
  • Food Industries
CONT

Harvested bananas that fall off a truck, for instance, are considered food loss. Food that is fit for human consumption, but is not consumed because it is or left to spoil or discarded by retailers or consumers is called food waste. This may be because of rigid or misunderstood date marking rules, improper storage, buying or cooking practices.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Industrie de l'alimentation
CONT

Lorsque des bananes récoltées tombent d'un camion, il s'agit par exemple de pertes alimentaires. En revanche, lorsque des denrées propres à la consommation humaine ne sont pas utilisées parce que les détaillants ou les consommateurs les laissent pourrir ou les jettent, on parle de gaspillages alimentaires. Ces gaspillages peuvent être dus à des règles de marquage des dates de péremption trop rigides ou mal comprises, à de mauvaises conditions d'entreposage, à des achats mal gérés ou à des modes de cuisson inappropriés.

DEF

... a persistent feeding or eating disturbance manifested by avoidance of food or restrictive food intake [that] results in significant weight loss or nutritional deficiency, dependence on tube feeding or nutritional supplements, and/or impairment in psychosocial functioning.

CONT

Unlike anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa, ARFID is not characterized by a preoccupation with body shape and weight or by intentional weight loss behaviors. Instead, patients suffering from ARFID may be disinterested in food and eating, or may avoid foods because of a negative response to their color, texture, smell, taste or temperature. Individuals may also excessively fear unpleasant consequences of eating such as choking, gagging or vomiting(functional dysphagia) or exacerbated gastroesophageal reflux symptoms.

  • Packaging Techniques

CONT

Altering the composition of the gaseous environment which a food product contacts reduces the rate of microbiological growth and enzymatic action, reduces the rate of oxidation, and also retards the loss of product water content through respiration of differential water-vapor pressure.... Controlled atmosphere packaging(CAP) means actually controlling the total gaseous environment the product experiences. In commercial practice, it usually means lowering the oxygen and raising the CO2 and assuring that O2 does not diminish to extinction while the respiratory gases are swept out. Controlled atmosphere packaging implies constant control over all gases : O2, CO2, H2O, and ethylene and other trace gases.

OBS

The package acts as a barrier to prevent gas from entering or leaving the container system.

OBS

The term "gas flush packaging" is sometimes used as a synonym for controlled atmosphere packaging.

French

Subject field(s)
  • Food Industries
DEF

A thin layer that is deposited on the surface of a food and is co-consumed.

OBS

This layer is not self-supporting. Traditionally it is used to improve handling properties(M&M's melt in your mouth, not in your hand) or to prevent moisture loss... It can also be used as an adhesive to seasonings on snack foods..., as a glaze on baked goods... and to increase shelf life and reduce the need of packaging material. The shelf life is extended, because the film acts as a barrier to moisture and/or oil and/or vapor transmission. An edible coating has to have good eating properties : acceptable color, odor, taste, flavor and texture or be undetectable. An other requirement is that it must adhere to the food, but(in most cases) does not stick to packaging material.
