...SYNOPSIS NAME: GAVIT SACHIN RATILAL REG.NO: FTS/12/2010 PREPARATION OF EGGLESS DOUGHNUTS BY USING MILK AND BANANA INTRODUCTION A doughnut or donut is a type of fried dough confectionery or dessert food. The doughnut is popular in many countries and prepared in various forms as a sweet snack that can be homemade or purchased in bakeries, supermarkets, food stalls, and franchised specialty outlets. They are usually deep-fried from a flour dough, and typically either ring-shaped or without a hole and often filled. Other types of batters can also be used, and various toppings and flavorings are used for different types, such as sugar glazing, chocolate glazing, or maple glazing. HISTORY In 19th century, doughnuts were sometimes referred to as one kind of oliekoek (a Dutch word literally meaning "oil cake"), a "sweetened cake fried in fat." Hanson Gregory, an American, claimed to have invented the ring-shaped doughnut in 1847 aboard a lime-trading ship when he was only 16 years old. Gregory was dissatisfied with the greasiness of doughnuts twisted into various shapes and with the raw center of regular doughnuts. He claimed to have punched a hole in the center of dough with the ship's tin pepper box, and later taught the technique to his mother. According to anthropologist Paul R. Mullins, the first cookbook mentioning doughnuts was an 1803 English volume which included doughnuts in an appendix of American recipes...

The food might be snack food—items like potato chips or baby carrots—but could also simply be a smaller amount of any food item. Snacks and Health Excessive snacking has been implicated in the increasing prevalence of obesity in many countries. Healthy snacks include those that have significant vitamins, are low in saturated fats and added sugars and have low sodium content. Examples of healthy snacks include: * Foods that have whole grains * Fruits and vegetables * Nuts and seeds * Low fat dairy products * Lean meats, eggs such as hard boiled eggs and lean cheese. Smart snacking can help to keep you going until your next full meal. So, if you are on the late lunch plan but eat breakfast at 6 AM, toss some fruit or trail mix into your backpack. That way you won’t feel tempted to grab less-healthy vending machine snacks between meals. What is a MEAL? * The food served and eaten especially at one of the customary, regular occasions for taking a reasonably large portion of food during the day, i.e. breakfast, lunch or supper....

...The Concepts of Nutritional Health What is a Healthy Diet? (DRV/ RNI) Healthy eating means consuming the right quantities of foods from all food groups in order to lead a healthy life. Diet is often referred to as some dietary program for losing weight. However, diet simply means what food we eat in the course of a 24-hour, one week, or one month, etc. A good diet is a nutritional lifestyle that promotes good health. A good diet must include several food groups because one single group cannot provide everything a person needs for good health. DRV- Dietary Reference Values (DRVs) are the complete set of nutrient recommendations and reference values, given by the government. DRVs can be used for reference values in food labelling and for establishing food-based dietary guidelines. RNI- Reference Nutrient Intake is the value amount of a nutrient required for an individual to prevent deficiency within themselves. For example: Many people need less than the RNI. The difference between Meals and Snacks The difference between a meal and snack is that a meal is usually made up of a variety of different nutrients. Whereas snacks are a single type of food, which you have with a drink, it may be of low nutritional contents. Therefore it is very unhealthy. . However snacks, if wholesome and healthy substances, are a good thing if you eat them for the right reasons at the right time. Moreover meals are prepared and cooked, for example your breakfast and afternoon Lunch...

...followed in the 1600s. In 1863, Louis Pasteur invented pasteurization, a method of killing harmful bacteria in beverage and food products. In 1891, the first U.S. milk processing plant to install pasteurization equipment was the Sheffield Farms Dairy in Bloomfield, New Jersey. They used a German-made pasteurizer. In 1908, Chicago became the first major American city to pass a law requiring commercial milk to be pasteurized milk. A cup of today's cow's milk on average already contains 29.7 percent of the daily value for calcium and 23.2 percent of the daily value for phosphorus recommended requirements. The former is important for building bones, as well as physiological activities such as blood clotting, muscle contraction and even blood pressure regulation. Vitamin D is also present in Cow's milk.
