Understand Your Fats and Fibers Tonya Rorem SCI/241 Instructor: Kevin Modglin According to the “Face the Fat’s” section on the American Heart Association web site bad fats are saturated and trans fats and the better fats are monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats. Fish and Omega-3 oils are the best fats. Saturated fat are triglycerides that contain only saturated fatty acids. A few examples of foods that contain large amounts of saturated fat are animal fats such as cream, cheese, butter

blood pressure. The functions of fiber in the body is to regulate our bowel movements. Lipids are the fat cells in which stores energy in our body.

Concrete + Fly ash Properties of the material Shapes Fly ash consists mainly of hollow spherical shapes which creates a ball bearing effect in the mix, improving workability without increasing water requirements. Fly ash also improves the pump-ability of concrete by making it more cohesive and less prone to segregation. The spherical shape improves the pump-ability by decreasing the friction between the concrete and the pump line. In addition, some fly ashes have been shown to significantly decrease

1. INTRODUCTION Aluminium and its alloys are used in fabrications because of their low weight, good corrosion resistance and weldability. This encourages the use of aluminium and its alloy in aerospace industry, internal combustion engine parts, ship building etc. [1]. Welding being most widely used joining method can be used for welding aluminium. Tungsten inert gas welding (TIG) and metal inert gas welding (MIG) are commonly used for aluminium. In this study TIG welding is used since TIG welding

Fats and Fibers Ewanshia J. Graham SCI/241 - Nutrition September 13, 2012 Derrick King Fats and Fibers According to the American Heart Association (2010) there are a number of fats that are consumed by humans on a daily basis; some fats are beneficial for us while others are not. The four major dietary fats, that we normally consume, have varying chemical structures and differ in their effects on the body. Saturated and transfer fats are considered harmful and have the potential to cause

Fiber Identification: Solubility Test A. Specimen Preparation The identification of an unknown fiber by solubility test can be established without pretreatment. B. Procedure 1) For a test at room temperature, place a small sample of the fiber in the test tube and chemical solvent are added into the tube with a 10 ml graduated pipette. (Remark: About 1 ml of solvent per 10 mg of fiber). 2) If the test is conducted at the boiling point of the solvent, first boil a beaker of water on a Bunsen

Fat and Fiber Research According to the “Face the Fats” article, “bad” fats are saturated fats and trans fats. “Most trans fat is created when manufacturers turn liquid oils into more solid fats like shortening and margarine. Saturated fat occurs naturally in nearly all fatty foods, but mostly in meats, dairy products, and tropical oils like palm kernel and coconut” (Center for Science in the Public Interest, 2002, p. 3). Both fats should try to be avoided, but the worst one is trans fat

Fabric is woven into humanity and has touched so many lives—beginning in ancient times when primitive peoples used flax fibers, separated into strands and plaited or woven into simple fabrics colored with dyes extracted from plants. Given the intimate history of people and fabric, it is hard to imagine that the industry or “art” of making fabric has evolved into one that adversely affects the environment. The fabric business is often used to symbolize the transformation of manufacturing brought about

nutrients that are needed within the body, such as fiber and lipids, these are needed in the aide of digestion. This is needed to move the digested food through the body and out the colon and exiting the anus. There are sources of dietary fibers that many people pass up or do not get enough of. These fibers are found in beans, whole grains. oat bran, whole grains. fruits, and vegetables. Now many people know that oats are a good source of fiber but often skip over them simply because oats
