Feature: Most fruits have low Glycemic Index
by Salvador R. Serrano
Thirteen fruits studied by the Food and Nutrition Research Institute of the Department of Science and Technology (or FNRI- DOST) were found to have low Glycemic Index (GI)
GI is a number representing the increase in the level of blood glucose when we eat food with carbohydrates. Saba banana, seedless grapes, Chinese pears, cantaloupe, watermelon, jackfruit, ripe carabao mango, papaya, red apple, guava and avocado have low GI. However, lakatan banana, pineapple and raisins have medium GI.
A book entitled “Glycemic Index or G.I. of commonly consumed carbohydrate foods in the Philippines” is now for sale at the FNRI-DOST at 250 pesos for the soft-bound and 300 pesos for the hard-bound copy.
The book is a useful reference for diabetics who have to monitor their blood glucose level and also for health buffs who watch their weight.

Feature: Coconut sugar and syrup are promising alternative sweeteners
by Salvador Serrano
Coconut sap, the fluid from coconut flowers that are cut systematically, can be turned into sugar.
According to the Glycemic Index of Commonly Consumed Carbohydrate Foods in the Philippines, a book published in 2011 by the Food and Nutrition Research Institute of the Department of Science (or FNRI-DOST), the resulting sugar has a low glycemic index.
This has made coco sugar and syrup popular alternative sweeteners among a growing number of diabetics and health buffs, but health and nutrition experts still advise consumption of cocosap sugar and syrup be done in moderation under their supervision.

Feature: VCO has no cholesterol content according to FNRI-DOST
by Jund Rian A. Doringo
According to the Food and Nutrition Research Institute of the Department of Science and Technology, virgin coconut oil (VCO) is made up mostly of medium-chain saturated fatty acid with zero trans-fatty acid.
Trans-fatty acids in fats and oils have been found to be a risk factor for coronary heart disease. It was made a mandatory component at the USDA Nutrition Labeling and Education Act (US NLEA) and Canada last January, 2003.
An FNRI study showed that the fatty acid profile and moisture content of VCO is within the Philippine National Standards and Bureau of Agriculture and Fisheries Products Standards (PNS/BAFPS), while trans-fatty acid content can be declared zero.
Like any other vegetables, VCO has no cholesterol content.
VCO has gained more competitive advantage in palatability, health and immune system against other fats and oils.
VCO may be included in everyday meal to carry out fat requirement. It can be included to salads as dressing and breads and butters as spread, as well as in rice and porridge and potatoes for roasting. It can also be included in beverages like tea and coffee or shakes and smoothies.
Moreover, VCO has many other benefits aside from its nutritional and culinary uses ranging from moisturizing the skin, improving the immune system, healing diseases and even as insect repellants and biodiesel engine fuel.
With its abundant visibility across the region, everyone must take advantage of the goodness of VCO. A little creativity and innovation will jump start the potential market of the VCO industry.

Feature: Yacon juice and tea
by Ma. Susana O. Encarnacion
Yacon juice and tea are beverages developed from Smallanthus sonchifolius or more popularly known as yacon.
According to the Food and Nutrition Institute of the Department of Science and Technology (FNRI-DOST), Yacon is associated with gut health. It is rich in fructooligosaccharides (FOS), a prebiotic stimulating the growth of good bacteria which enhances mineral absorption. FOS is a non-digestible form of carbohydrates that lowers blood sugar levels and improves the health of the intestines. Its benefits are not fully maximized because yacon tubers are perishable and its nutritional content and FOS significantly decreases during post harvest storage.
To maximize the benefits form yacon, the FNRI-DOST came up with a technology on development of beverage products from yacon in the form of juice and tea. This FNRI technology has undergone laboratory studies and is in the process of undergoing its pilot-scale study.

Sama-sama po natin itong (progress) abutin sa tuwid na daan tungo sa isang mas matibay at mas masaganang kinabukasan,” ang Pangulo miingo.
“Sadyang hindi matatawaran ang papel na ginagampanan ng ating Local Government Units sa ating krusada tungo sa kaunlaran.

Ang Pangulo miila usab sa nagkalain-laing mga proyekto sa local government units (LGUs) nga direktang miapekto sa mga kinabuhi sa mga Filipino.
“Ang lahat po ng mga proyektong ito ay nagbunga mula sa masusing koordinasyon ng pambansa at lokal na pamahalaan, at ang masigasig na pakikiisa ng mamamayan. Sumasaludo po ako sa mga local chief executives na kasama natin ngayon. Hindi niyo lamang sinisiguro ang tagumpay ng bawat isinasagawa ninyong proyekto; binibigyang-lakas din ninyo ang mga mamamayan upang makilahok sa katuparan ng ating mga adhikain,” ang Pangulo mipasabot..

“Manalig lamang po tayo sa mga makabuluhang bunga ng mabuting pamamahala, sa pakikipagtulungan ng lokal at pambansang pamahalaan, at sa pakikibalikat ng bawat isa. Sama-sama po natin itong (progress) abutin sa tuwid na daan tungo sa isang mas matibay at mas masaganang kinabukasan,” ang Pangulo miingo.
“Sadyang hindi matatawaran ang papel na ginagampanan ng ating Local Government Units sa ating krusada tungo sa kaunlaran. Kayo ang katuwang ng ating administrasyon sa pagpapatupad ng mga reporma sa lokal na antas; kayo ang nagsisilbing sangay ng pambansang pamahalaan sa pagsisiguro na tugma ang ating mga inisyatiba at proyekto, at direkta nitong naaapektuhan ang buhay ng bawat Pilipino sa positibong paraan,”siya midugang.

“Ang lahat po ng mga proyektong ito ay nagbunga mula sa masusing koordinasyon ng pambansa at lokal na pamahalaan, at ang masigasig na pakikiisa ng mamamayan. Sumasaludo po ako sa mga local chief executives na kasama natin ngayon. Hindi niyo lamang sinisiguro ang tagumpay ng bawat isinasagawa ninyong proyekto; binibigyang-lakas din ninyo ang mga mamamayan upang makilahok sa katuparan ng ating mga adhikain,” ang Pangulo mipasabot..
