Summary: The trend towards healthier food products has led to increased research on in vitro gastrointestinal digestion methods. Static models are the simplest and most commonly used, simulating enzyme activity, pH, temperature, and electrolyte and bile salt conditions. Studies on antioxidant activity have received the most attention, followed by studies on proteins and carbohydrates. However, there are variations in methodologies and analytical approaches among published papers. This review examines the similarities and differences between published static in vitro gastrointestinal digestion methods, with a focus on carbohydrates. The results show that the Infogest protocol is the most commonly used, but with differences in enzyme types and activity. The oral phase is often overlooked in studies on carbohydrate digestion, while the intestinal phase is more diverse. Other methodologies, such as RSIE and BBMV, have been recommended but are still underutilized. The combination of RSIE enzymes and the Infogest method could be a promising alternative for analyzing carbohydrate foods.

Summary: A national strategy for obesity prevention has been implemented in Paraguay due to the high prevalence of overweight adults and children. This study analyzed data from a food frequency questionnaire and one-day weighed food records to identify obesity-causing factors in the rural area of Pirapo. The results showed that certain foods like sandwiches, hamburgers, and bread were positively correlated with BMI, while others like pizza and fried bread had a negative correlation in males. Similarly, different factors were found in females.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of drying-tempering time and air temperature on the quality of polished rice. The results showed that the increase in temperature and prolonged drying-tempering time adversely affected the physical, physicochemical, and morphological qualities of the rice. It was concluded that drying technologies with tempering periods should be designed with a maximum temperature of 75 degrees Celsius and drying time not exceeding 8 hours for optimal rice quality.

Summary: For the first time, a dispersive micro-solid phase extraction (D-mu SPE) based on graphene oxide was used for the ultrasensitive determination of Cd. With this method, Cd can be efficiently extracted from a mixture of alkali and alkaline earth metals without the need for an elution step. The combination of D-mu SPE and SAGD OES significantly reduces matrix effects and improves the tolerance of Cd to alkali metals. The method shows simplicity in the measurement system and the commercially available nanosorbent used.

Summary: This work proposes a rapid and sensitive spectroscopic method for detecting melamine in food products using rare-earth Terbium-doped Graphene Quantum Dots (Tb-GQDs) synthesized by microwave and simple chemical conjugation methods. The synthesized Tb-GQDs show a spherical shape with a size of approximately 6 nm and a quantum yield of 52%. The maximum detection limit for melamine concentration in milk and milk products is found to be 0.31 μM. The dual emitting Tb-GQDs provide a sensitive and effective platform for real-time detection of melamine in food samples, particularly in milk, and show promising potential in the food industry.
