Lost in aggregation? On the importance of local food price data for food poverty estimates

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper explores within‐country variations in food price dynamics and food poverty estimates by employing local market price data and national consumer price index (CPI) data. Our results show that national CPI data may be useful for approximating national trends but they fail to detect and identify spatial variations in local trends, which

Pre‐Diagnostic Plasma Carotenoids, Tocopherols and Retinol Levels, and Risk of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective Our goal was to examine whether pre‐diagnostic plasma carotenoids and tocopherols are associated with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Methods A nested case–control study within 4 United States cohorts, where 154 participants with pre‐diagnostic blood‐draw, were diagnosed during follow‐up with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Controls

Pracaxi Oil as a Potential Inhibitor of Fat Bloom

Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fat bloom is one of the major technological challenges faced by the chocolate industry, caused by the polymorphic transition from β2(V) to β1(VI) crystals in cocoa butter (CB). One strategy to slow down this polymorphic transition is the addition of lipids rich in very long chain fatty acids (VLCFA), such as behenic acid.

Cis‐Vaccenic Acid as a Compositional Marker for Detecting High‐Oleic Seed Oil Adulteration in Avocado Oil

Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The rapid expansion of the global avocado oil market has intensified concerns about economic adulteration with lower‐cost, high‐oleic seed oils that resemble the fatty acid specifications of avocado oil. Cis‐vaccenic acid C18:1 (n−7) occurs at higher proportions in avocado oil than in common seed oil adulterants, making it a promising ...
