Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Elimination of industrially-produced trans-fatty acids (TFA) from the global food supply by 2023 is a key target of the GPW13. Assessing and monitoring TFA content in the food supply and changes in TFA consumption in the population is one of the key action areas for countries in order to eliminate TFA. A two-day WHO expert consultation was held in Geneva Switzerland on 11 – 12 October 2018 to review and discuss the draft REPLACE “A” module, and draft protocols, and agree on approaches for TFA assessment in food and blood plasma. The consultation brought together 17 TFA experts from 14 countries, representing five of the six WHO regions. This is the meeting report of the expert consultation. The target audiences include policy makers, academic institutions and laboratories conducting TFA assessment.

This book was released on 2007 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The current guideline for the consumption of trans fatty acids (trans FA) is that they should not exceed 2% of food energy. Due to health concerns, the Food Standards Agency was asked to consider the case for a reduction in this recommendation to less than 1% and the Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition has thus tasked with examining recent scientific evidence on the health effects of trans FA. It concludes that there is consistent evidence to support a moderate effect of trans FA on increasing the risk of coronary heart disease but evidence related to other diseases is limited and no reliable risk assessment can be made. There is however no firm scientific basis for a change in the current recommendation of not exceeding 2% of food energy. There is also insufficient evidence to justify the differentiation of trans FA from vegetable oil and animal sources.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Trans fatty acids (TFAs) have been used for many years to impart desirable physical characteristics to fats and fat blends used in food manufacturing. However, clinical trials and epidemiological studies conducted over the last thirty years have shown that TFAs can increase “bad” cholesterol levels in the blood while reducing “good” cholesterol. Accordingly, they are also linked with increased risks of coronary heart disease, thrombosis and strokes. For this reason, the food industry has been obliged to find alternatives to TFAs, thus enabling it to meet the presumed consumer demand for “low” or “no” trans fats products. The issue is becoming more and more pressing. For example, US labelling regulations now require that food manufacturers state the trans fat content of their products on the packaging. This book provides an overview of trans fatty acids in oils and fats used in food manufacture. Topics covered include: the chemistry and occurrence of TFAs; analytical methods for determining the fatty acid composition including TFAs of foods; processing techniques for reducing, minimising or even avoiding the formation of TFAs; TFA alternatives in food; health and nutrition concerns and legislative aspects. It is directed at chemists and technologists working in edible oils and fats processing and product development; food scientists and technologists; analytical chemists and nutritionists working in the food industry.

This book was released on 2023-04-03 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WHO published in 2020 a comprehensive protocol for measuring and monitoring industrially produced trans-fatty acids (TFA), intended to serve as a reference method that is globally applicable for surveillance and monitoring of TFA content for different types of foods. Although this WHO reference protocol was successfully implemented in several laboratories worldwide, some laboratories, especially those operating on a tight budget, had difficulties adopting it. To address the above challenges, WHO held a two-day, virtual WHO expert consultation meeting on 27 and 30 June 2022 to discuss simplified procedures and other suitable alternatives that enable laboratories operating with limited resources to conduct fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) analysis. Based on this expert consultation, the WHO Laboratory Protocol – Simplified protocol for measuring trans-fatty acids content as a percentage of total fatty acids in food products was developed. This fit-for-purpose protocol provides the data that are required for governments’ surveillance and monitoring activities to check the trend of TFA content in food products on the market and ensure that food products comply with regulations for TFA elimination.

This book was released on 2023-07-17 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: his guideline provides updated, evidence-informed guidance on the intake of saturated fatty acids and trans fatty acids to reduce the risk of diet-related noncommunicable diseases in adults and children, particularly cardiovascular diseases. This guideline is intended for a wide audience involved in the development, design and implementation of policies and programmes in nutrition and public health. This guideline includes recommended levels of intake for saturated fatty acids and trans-fatty acids and recommendations on preferred replacement nutrients which can be used by policy-makers and programme managers to address various aspects of saturated fatty acid and trans-fatty acid intake in their populations through a range of policy actions and public health interventions. The guidance in this guideline replaces previous WHO guidance on saturated fatty acid and trans-fatty acids intake, including that from the 1989 WHO Study Group on Diet, Nutrition and the Prevention of Chronic Diseases and the 2002 Joint WHO/FAO Expert Consultation on Diet, Nutrition and the Prevention of Chronic Diseases. The guidance in this guideline should be considered in the context of that from other WHO guidelines on healthy diets.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this completely rewritten Second Edition of Trans Fatty Acids in Human Nutrition authors who are recognised international authorities in their field have addressed the major areas of trans fatty acids (TFA) research such as consumption, analysis, biochemistry, synthesis and natural TFA biosynthesis, health effects, food formulation, and also regulation and consumer perception. Each chapter contains the latest references and major advances and breakthroughs in a specific area of trans fatty acids research. Furthermore, the book also includes a discussion of a major issue - the health effects of the natural trans isomers, comparing their effects to those observed for TFA produced during hydrogenation. The availability of so much information in a single volume will help to clarify the major effects of TFA in human nutrition that have been discovered over the last two decades. This book guides the next generation of scientists to the important opportunities for making further progress in this challenging field of research. The First Edition of Trans Fatty Acids in Human Nutrition carried out a very similar task for the state of our knowledge in the late 1990s but the rapid expansion and progress in the subject meant that it had to be completely re-written and expanded from the original nine to the present fifteen chapters of the Second Edition.
