Report of the International Society of Hypertension (ISH) Hypertension Teaching Seminar organized by the ISH Africa Regional Advisory Group: Maputo, Mozambique, 2016

The International Society of Hypertension (ISH), in fulfilment of its mission of promoting hypertension control and prevention and also of advancing knowledge globally, organizes hypertension teaching seminars or ‘summer schools’ worldwide through the ISH Regional Advisory Groups. In Africa, seven of such seminars have been organized. This is a report of the eighth seminar held in Maputo, Mozambique, April, 2016. The seminar was attended by over 65 participants from 11 African countries. The Faculty consisted of 11 international hypertension experts. The eighth African hypertension seminar was a great success as confirmed by a pre- and post-test questionnaire

Reação de plantas de maracujazeiro amarelo a antracnose.

A cultura do maracujazeiro é uma das mais importantes no Estado do Pará, sendo que o maracujá amarelo representa a quase totalidade dos pomares comerciais. Esta espécie de maracujá é afetada por várias doenças que podem reduzir a produtividade, comprometer a qualidade dos frutos e provocar a morte das plantas. A antracnose se constitui na mais importante doença pós-colheita, reduzindo o período de conservação dos frutos. O uso de material genético resistente é uma alternativa efetiva no manejo de doenças de plantas. Assim, o presente trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar seis híbridos intraespecíficos e quatro cultivares de maracujazeiro, quanto a severidade da antracnose. O experimento foi conduzido no campo experimental da Embrapa Amazônia Oriental. O delineamento experimental foi em blocos casualizados, com quatro repetições (10 plantas/parcela). As avaliações foram realizadas quinzenalmente, a partir do aparecimento dos primeiros sintomas da doença. Os seis híbridos intraespecíficos e a cultivar Golden Star apresentaram severidade da antracnose significativamente menor do que das cultivares BRS Ouro vermelho, BRS Gigante amarelo e BRS Sol do Cerrado as quais não diferiram entre si. O híbrido CCF (73/82) apresentou a menor intensidade da doença, enquanto a cultivar BRS Sol do Cerrado apresentou o maior índice de doença.PIBIC-2011

Sensory analysis and consumers studies of açai beverage after thermal, chlorine and ozone treatments of the fruits.

Açai is a fruit of the Amazon region consumed as beverage, pulp, and other products, being exported to many countries because of its peculiar characteristic flavor and antioxidant power potential. For Açai there is still a need for improving sanitizing processes, making it more effective, reducing the microbiological contamination without affecting either the physicochemical and sensory characteristics of final product. Thermal (blanching at 80 and 90C) and nonthermal treatments (150 mg/L-1 chlorination and 4 mg/L-1 aqueous ozonation) were applied to fruits in order to evaluated their anthocyanins content and also processed beverages for coloring, sensory characteristics, and their purchase intentions. Ozonated fruits exhibited less anthocyanins content and beverage originated from this process showed higher color difference from the traditional beverage. Consumers could not distinguish among beverages processed thermally and sanitized by chlorination. Beverage from blanched fruits in both temperatures obtained good notes and positive purchase intention

Street food in Maputo, Mozambique: The coexistence of minimally processed and ultra-processed foods in a country under nutrition transition

The aim was to characterise the extent of processing and nutritional composition of the street foods offered in Maputo, Mozambique. A cross-sectional study was conducted in October November 2014 in the urban district of KaMpfumu. Twenty public transport stops were randomly selected, around which 500 meters buffers were drawn. All streets within these buffers were can-vassed to identify all street food vending sites. Street food offer was assessed through interviews. Nutritional composition was estimated using standardised recipes (for homemade foods), food labels (for industrial products) and food composition tables (for in natura foods). The processing extent was classified using the NOVA food classification. A total of 810 vending sites were assessed. Unprocessed/minimally processed foods were available at 70.5% of vending sites (mainly fruit, water, and tea) and ultra-processed foods at 59.0% (mostly cakes, cookies, confectionery, and soft drinks). Energy content per 100 g of unprocessed or minimally processed foods was significantly lower than in all other food groups. In all food groups, contribution to total energy value was highest for carbohydrates (range: 33.151.2%), followed by fats (range: 29.336.0%) and protein (range: 6.818.6%). Public health policies targeting the improvement of this urban food environment should consider not only the nutritional composition but also the processing extent of the foods and beverages available.
