Description:Proteins are often referred to as body-building food because they play a crucial role in building and repairing tissues in our body, including muscles. They are essential for the growth and maintenance of muscles, which is why they are associated with helping the body build and repair itself.

Description:Food adulteration involves adding impurities or inferior substances to food products in order to increase the quantity or make them appear better or more valuable than they actually are. In this case, mixing papaya seeds with peppercorns is an example of adulterating peppercorns, which is a deceptive practice and can be harmful to consumers.

Description:Mid arm circumference is a measure of the circumference of a person's upper arm and is used as an indicator of nutritional status. Unlike some other measures like "weight for age," mid arm circumference is less dependent on age, making it a useful tool for assessing malnutrition in individuals of different age groups. It provides a more immediate assessment of current nutritional status and can be helpful in identifying malnutrition in children and adults.

Description:Human breast milk is higher in carbohydrates, specifically lactose, compared to cow's milk. This is because human infants require a readily available source of energy for their rapidly growing brains, and lactose serves this purpose. Cow's milk, on the other hand, has a higher proportion of proteins and fats compared to human breast milk, making it better suited for the nutritional needs of young cows rather than human infants.

Description:Tryptophan is an amino acid needed for normal growth in infants and for nitrogen balance in a adults. It is an essential amino acid, when means your body cannot produce it. Except in maize all other given food items contain tryptophan.

Description:Calculated energy requirement for 1 year child is 100 kcal/kg. so total calorie intake will be approximately 1000 kcal/day.

Description:This test is commonly employed in the dairy industry to ensure that milk has been adequately pasteurized, a process that involves heating milk to destroy harmful pathogens while retaining its flavor and nutritional value. The presence of alkaline phosphatase in milk indicates that it has not been sufficiently pasteurized, as this enzyme is destroyed at the temperatures used in the pasteurization process. Therefore, the phosphatase test helps confirm that milk has undergone proper pasteurization and is safe for consumption.

Description:Wheat is relatively low in lysine compared to other essential amino acids. This deficiency in lysine can limit the overall protein quality of wheat-based foods. To improve the nutritional value of wheat-based diets, especially in regions where wheat is a staple crop, various strategies such as mixing wheat with other protein-rich grains or legumes are often employed to ensure an adequate intake of lysine and other essential amino acids.

Description:This test is commonly employed to detect the presence of chlorine in water. It's a chemical test that involves the use of ortho tolidine as an indicator. When chlorine is present, it causes a color change in the solution containing ortho tolidine, indicating the presence of chlorine. This test is often used in the context of water treatment and monitoring to ensure that chlorine levels are within acceptable limits for disinfection purposes.

Description:Tryptophan is present in all the options provided (b. Cheese, c. Chicken, d. Fish). Therefore, the correct answer is not any of the options listed, as tryptophan is present in all of them.

Description:When boiling the pasteurized milk the amount of Vitamin C present in the milk will reduce. So pasteurized milk is considered as best without boiling.

Description:This means that the gene responsible for the disorder is located on the X chromosome, and only one copy of the mutated gene on one of the X chromosomes is sufficient to cause the condition. In X-linked dominant disorders, affected individuals can inherit the mutated gene from either their mother or their father.

Description:Vitamin A deficiency can lead to a condition known as xerophthalmia, which includes a range of eye problems such as night blindness, dryness of the conjunctiva and cornea, and ultimately, the development of eye lesions that can lead to blindness if left untreated. These eye lesions are a hallmark of severe vitamin A deficiency and are a specific indicator of the condition.

Description:Specific protection measures are interventions and strategies aimed at preventing specific diseases or health conditions. In this case, providing vitamin A prophylaxis is a targeted approach to prevent vitamin A deficiency and its associated health problems, rather than a general or broad public health measure.

Description:Cod liver oil is known for being exceptionally rich in vitamin A, along with vitamin D and omega-3 fatty acids. It is one of the most concentrated dietary sources of vitamin A. While green leafy vegetables, amla, and guava also contain vitamin A, cod liver oil typically contains much higher levels of this vitamin.

Description:Wernicke's encephalopathy is a neurological disorder that occurs due to a deficiency of thiamine in the body. It is often associated with alcohol abuse but can also occur in other situations where there is inadequate thiamine intake or absorption. Cheilosis and pellagra are associated with deficiencies of other vitamins, specifically riboflavin (Vitamin B2) and niacin (Vitamin B3), respectively.

Description:Wernicke encephalopathy is a neurological disorder that occurs when there isn't enough thiamine (Vitamin B1) in the body. Thiamine is essential for the proper functioning of the brain and nervous system. When it's lacking, it can lead to symptoms like confusion, difficulty with coordination, and impaired memory, which are characteristic of Wernicke encephalopathy.

Description:Deficiency of a. Vitamin B1 causes beriberi.

Description:Vitamin A is essential for maintaining good vision, and a deficiency in this vitamin can lead to various eye problems, including night blindness, where a person has difficulty seeing in low-light conditions or at night.

Description:Vitamin A is also known as Retinol: This means that when people refer to "retinol," they are actually talking about vitamin A. It's an important nutrient for maintaining good vision and overall health. The correct name for Vitamin A is Retinol: When you see or hear "retinol" mentioned in foods, supplements, or skincare products, it's the same thing as vitamin A. Retinol is a vital vitamin that plays a key role in our eyesight and various bodily functions.

Description:This is typically done to prevent a rare but potentially serious bleeding disorder called vitamin K deficiency bleeding (VKDB) or neonatal hemorrhagic disease. Vitamin K is essential for blood clotting, and newborns may have low levels of it, which can put them at risk of bleeding. Administering vitamin K at birth helps prevent this bleeding disorder.

Description:Polishing of rice can lead to loss of vitamin called thiamine.

Description:Scurvy is a condition characterized by symptoms such as weakness, anemia, gum disease, skin problems, and easy bruising, all of which result from a deficiency of vitamin C in the diet.

Description:Eggs do not contain Vitamin C: Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is not found in eggs. While eggs are a good source of many essential nutrients like protein and B vitamins, they do not provide Vitamin C, which is commonly found in fruits and vegetables. The vitamin missing in eggs is Vitamin C: If you're looking to get Vitamin C in your diet, you'll need to turn to foods like citrus fruits (oranges, lemons), strawberries, and vegetables like bell peppers, as eggs do not contain this particular vitamin.

Description:Amla (Indian gooseberry) is a rich source of Vitamin C. It is known for its high Vitamin C content, which makes it a valuable dietary source of this important vitamin.
