NNA (2004) anbefaler 10-20% (helst 15% der svarer til ca. 0,75 g/kg kropsvægt) - til almindelige raske personer. En Raw Food diæt opfylder slet ikke dette anbefalede behov. Kun 5 dage ud af de 14 beregnede dage, sniger %-andelen sig op over de 10% = 4-5% fra det anbefalede daglige behov. På en enkelt dag er proteinindtaget helt nede på 5%.

Earlier studies 1. Ioku found better retaining of flavonoids in MW without water, similar to oil-frying whereas boiling in water leaked the flavonoids ~ 30 % to the water If the cooking-water is used there is no health effects (Ioku 2001). 2.Vallejo found that broccoli boiling in water and pressure cooking created a loss of flavonoids of 66% and 47%, respectively. MW with added water almost completely destroyed the flavonoids with a 97 % loss, whereas steaming retained the flavonoids completely (Vallejo 2003). 3.Apigenin from parsley has been shown to be microwave stable (Nielsen 1999).

Highly variable response to different heating methods for vegetables with respect to different analysis of antioxidant capacity……………………………………. The influence of home cooking methods (boiling, microwaving, pressure-cooking, griddling, frying, and baking) on the antioxidant activity of vegetables has been evaluated in 20 vegetables, using different antioxidant activity assays (lipoperoxyl and hydroxyl radicals scavenging and TEAC). Artichoke was the only vegetable that kept its very high scavenginglipoperoxyl radical capacity in all the cooking methods. The highest losses of LOO. scavenging capacity were observed in cauliflower after boiling and microwaving, pea after boiling, and zucchini after boiling and frying. Beetroot, green bean, and garlic kept their antioxidant activity after most cooking treatments. Swiss chard and pepper lost OH. scavenging capacity in all the processes. Influence of cooking methods on antioxidant activity of vegetables. Jiménez-Monreal AM, García-Diz L, Martínez-Tomé M, Mariscal M, Murcia MA. J Food Sci. 2009 Apr;74(3):H97-H103. Highly variable response to different heating methods for vegetables with respect to different analysis of antioxidant capacity……………………………………. Celery increased its antioxidant capacity in all the cooking methods, except boiling when it lost 14%. Analysis of the ABTS radical scavenging capacity of the different vegetables showed that the highest losses occurred in garlic with all the methods, except microwaving. Among the vegetables that increased their TEAC values were green bean, celery, and carrot after all cooking methods (except green bean after boiling). These 3 types of vegetables showed a low ABTS radical scavenging capacity. According to the method of analysis chosen, griddling, microwave cooking, and baking alternately produce the lowest losses, while pressure-cooking and boiling lead to the greatest losses; frying occupies an intermediate position. In short, water is not the cook's best friend when it comes to preparing vegetables. Influence of cooking methods on antioxidant activity of vegetables.

Adv Exp Med Biol. 2005;561:447-65 Source U.S. Food and Drug Administration, National Center for Food Safety and Technology (NCFST), 6502 S. Archer Rd., Summit-Argo, IL 60501, USA. Lauren.Jackson@cfsan.fda.gov Abstract Acrylamide is formed in high-carbohydrate foods during high temperature as frying, baking, roasting and extrusion. Although acrylamide is known to form during industrial processing of food, high levels of the chemical have been found in home-cooked foods, mainly potato- and grain-based products. This chapter will focus on the effects of cooking conditions (e.g. time/temperature) on acrylamide formation in consumer-prepared foods, the use of surface color (browning) as an indicator of acrylamide levels in some foods, and methods for reducing acrylamide levels in homeprepared foods. As with commercially processed foods, acrylamide levels in homeprepared foods tend to increase with cooking time and temperature. Acrylamide………… In experiments conducted at the NCFST, acrylamide levels in cooked food depended greatly on the cooking conditions and the degree of "doneness", as measured by the level of surface browning. • French fries fried at 150-190 ˚C for up to 10 min had acrylamide levels of 55 to 2130 microg/kg (wet weight), with the highest levels in the most processed (highest frying times/temperatures) and the most highly browned fries. • "dark" toasted bread slices had 43.7-610.7 microg/kg wet weight, compared to "light" at 8.27-217.5 microg/kg or "medium" at 10.9-213.7 microg/kg •Analysis of the surface color by colorimetry indicated that some components of surface color ("a" and "L" values) correlated highly with acrylamide levels. •Soaking raw potato slices in water before frying was effective at reducing acrylamide levels in French fries. •Additional studies are needed to develop practical methods for reducing acrylamide formation in home-prepared foods without changing the acceptability of these foods. The effect of domestic preparation of some potato products on acrylamide content. Michalak J, Gujska E, Klepacka J. Plant Foods Hum Nutr (2011) 66:307–312 Source Food Science Department, University of Warmia and Mazury, ul. Heweliusza 6, Olsztyn, Poland. seniutaj@uwm.edu.pl Abstract The influence that food heating has on the concentration of acrylamide in home-cooked potato dishes prepared by high-temperature, such as pan-frying, deep-frying, roasting and microwave heating was analyzed. The experiment was performed with commercially available deep-frozen par-fried French fries and deep-frozen par-fried potato products other than French fries (cubes, wedges, noisettes, pancakes). Acrylamide was found in all deep-frozen par-fried French fries and other deep-frozen par-fried potato products before domestic preparation. The mean level of acrylamide content in all frozen potato products before preparation was found to be 322 μg/kg. Potato products were then prepared at 180 °C for 3 min and at 220 °C for 10 min. After domestic preparation (roasting, pan-frying, deep-frying and microwave heating) it was found that the level of acrylamide in all products increased. Acrylamide content in the analyzed samples significantly increased as the temperature and time of processing increased. The statistical analysis showed significant differences (P < 0.05) for acrylamide content as a function of food preparation. The level of acrylamide increased with the increased heating temperature and heating time. Additionally, the preparation method of roasting was significantly lower in acrylamide content (P < 0.05) than the preparation method of microwaving although both preparation methods used the same conditions (time and temperature). These results suggest that microwaving might be more favourable to the formation of acrylamide than conventional heating methods, such as roasting.

Abstract In this study, the formation of acrylamide upon treatment with microwave and conventional heating, boiling, or frying was investigated in both Asn/Fru and Asn/Glc model systems and in potato chips. Acrylamide levels were analyzed by HPLC method, which was confirmed by HPLC-MS/MS. Present results in model systems showed that pH value had a complex influence on the formation of acrylamide in the 2 systems during both microwaving (600 W) and boiling (120 +/- 1 degrees C). At pH < 8.0, acrylamide content increased with increasing the pH value, reaching the maximum at pH 8.0 whereas acrylamide content decreased with the increase of pH. Regardless of pH and heating methods, acrylamide content generally increased with increasing treatment time. Surprisingly, all present results showed that microwave heating not only induced acrylamide formation in the 2 model systems but also facilitated more acrylamide to be formed as compared to the boiling method at identical pH and treatment time. At pH 4.0, 8.0, and 10.0, the larger the microwave power, the more the acrylamide content. Consistent with the above observation, treatment of potato chips with microwave heating for 2.5 to 3.5 min in the range 550 to 750 W similarly resulted in acrylamide formation. The highest acrylamide content was formed by 750 W microwave treatment as 0.897 +/- 0.099 mg/kg, which was significantly higher than that produced by traditional frying (180 +/- 1 degrees C), 0.645 +/- 0.035 mg/kg (P < 0.05).

Zhen-Yu Chen, PhD Chinese University of Hong Kong (Photo Credit: Wikimedia Commons) Alzheimer's and oxidized cholesterol: Neighbors come together Lipidomics Gateway (26 August 2009) [doi:10.1038/lipidmaps.2009.20] An oxidized form of cholesterol alters membrane organization and might disrupt cellular function in Alzheimer's disease. Alzheimer's disease is characterized by accumulation of the neurotoxic peptide β-amyloid. This peptide can oxidize cholesterol to form the oxysterol 7β-hydroxycholesterol 1 (7β-OH). Although cholesterol in cell membranes brings neighboring phospholipid molecules closer together, by inducing a partial straightening of their acyl chains, the effect of 7β-OH on membrane organization is unknown. Now Steven Regen and colleagues report in the Journal of the American Chemical Society that the condensing effect of 7β-OH is enhanced compared to that of cholesterol. This produces a membrane reorganization that might help to explain the enigmatic etiology of Alzheimer's disease. 7β-hydroxycholesterol is produced by oxidation of cholesterol Mitomo, H., Chen, W.H. and Regen, S.L.

(6 August 2009). doi:10.1021/ja904308y Oxidized cholesterol test feeding Background: Information on the absorption of cholesterol oxidation products (COP) from ordinary foodstuff in humans is scarce. Methods: Five healthy young men were offered a 150 g salami + 150 g Parmesan+ 135 g bread, a meal naturally rich in COP. Plasma and lipoprotein COP concentrations were measured over 9 h. Results: The mean plasma free (nonesterified) COP concentration showed its maximal increase 3 and 5 h after meal consumption. In contrast, the raise in plasma total COP concentration began 6 h after the meal with a maximum at 8 h and was statistically significant for 7·- and 7ßhydroxycholesterol and 7-ketocholesterol. Conclusion: COP from ordinary foodstuff were absorbed in the human intestinal tract but differences in the bioavailability of the single COP compounds were found.

Tabas I. Circ Res. 2010 Oct 1;107(7):839-50. Source Department of Medicine, Columbia University, New York, NY 10032, USA. iat1@columbia.edu Abstract Arterial wall stressors may be especially prominent in the settings of obesity, insulin resistance, and diabetes, all of which promote the clinical progression of atherosclerosis. In macrophages, prolonged ER stress triggers apoptosis, leading to plaque necrosis if the apoptotic cells are not rapidly cleared. ER stress-induced endothelial cell apoptosis may also contribute to plaque progression. Another potentially important proatherogenic effect of prolonged ER stress is activation of inflammatory pathways in macrophages and, perhaps in response to atheroprone shear stress, endothelial cells. The role of endoplasmic reticulum stress in the progression of atherosclerosis. Tabas I. Circ Res. 2010 Oct 1;107(7):839-50. Source Department of Medicine, Columbia University, New York, NY 10032, USA. Prolonged activation of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress pathway,known as the unfolded protein response (UPR) can lead to cell pathology and subsequent tissue dysfunction. Ample evidence that the UPR is chronically activated in atherosclerotic lesional cells, particularly advanced lesional macrophages and endothelial cells. The stressors in advanced lesions that can lead to prolonged activation of the UPR include oxidative stress, oxysterols, and high levels of intracellular cholesterol and saturated fatty acids. Oxycholesterol- biological effects Oxycholesterol, may pose the greatest heart disease risk. Study on hamsters (Chen, Hong-Kong 2009): •Diet high in oxycholesterol Vs. Diet with non-oxidized cholesterol Outcome : •Blood cholesterol + 22 % in oxy-cholesterol group •Greater deposition of cholesterol in the lining of blood-vessels (atherosclerotic plaques) Plaques increase the risk for heart attack and stroke. Oxycholesterol had undesirable effects on artery function: Reduces the elasticity of arteries, impairing their ability to expand and carry more blood.

Do oxysterols control cholesterol homeostasis? Figure 1 Primary cholesterol oxygenation reactions mediated by different cytochrome P-450 species or occurring nonenzymatically in the presence of reactive oxygen species (ROS) (43). The oxygenation of cholesterol into 25-hydroxycholesterol is catalyzed by cholesterol 25-hydroxylase, a non-heme iron protein (7). The quantitatively most important oxysterols present in human circulation are underlined. Figure 2 Roles of CYP27 and CYP46 in transport of cholesterol from extrahepatic organs to the liver. Cholesterol does not pass readily across the blood-brain barrier, but cholesterol produced in the brain can be oxidized by CYP46 to form the more soluble species 24Shydroxycholesterol. Likewise, 27-hydroxycholesterol is formed in other extrahepatic cells and contributes to the net flow of circulating oxysterols from other organs to the liver http://lipidlibrary.aocs.org/lipids/chol_der/index.htm Intermediate/ Selected methods heating study Fig. 9. 7- Keto; Regression: NS for group Univariate analysis w.
