based on this information write one paragraph explaining the use and value of this experiement to the dietetics profession. medical nutrition therapy need/background: Vitamin b12 is a member of the vitamin b-complex and is therefore water-soluble. Primarily found in animal foods such as fish, meat, poultry, eggs, and dairy. Vegans will need to get their vitamin b-12 from fortified food or supplements Important vitamin functions: Formation of red blood cells and DNA Helps in lowering high levels of homocysteine in the blood as high levels can Development of brain and nerve cells Deficiency: Can cause anemia and B12 neuropathy which involves the degeneration of nerve fibers and irreversible neurological damage. the recipe control is 6 tablespoons white wine vinegar 2/3 cup extra virgin olive oil 1 cup parmesan cheese, freshly grated 4 cloves garlic, roughly chopped 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning Pinch of red pepper flakes 1 teaspoon kosher salt 1 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper 2 teaspoons honey. the recipe experiment is 6 tablespoons white wine vinegar 2/3 cup extra virgin olive oil 1 cup nutritional yeast 4 cloves garlic, roughly chopped 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning Pinch of red pepper flakes 1 teaspoon kosher salt 1 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper 2 teaspoons honey. the use and value of the experiment: Vegans do not have a lot of dietary options when trying to meet their B12 intake. Including products in diet with b-12 fortification, such as nutritional yeast, will be important as Vitamin B-12 is only naturally found in animal products. Nutritional yeast is a great vehicle for B-12 fortification as it is great for seasoning dishes, adding to soups as a thickener, using for salad dressings, and providing a cheesy/Unami flavor for vegan sauces. Experimenting with nutritional yeast in different foods allows for more dietary options that can support an adequate vitamin b-12 intake. the control and experiment: Independent variables; Parmesan Cheese & Nutritional yeast Control- Salad dressing containing parmesan cheese as a constituent Experiment- Vegan alternative to original recipe which replaces the parmesan cheese for nutritional yeast. sensory eval and analysis: -Control salad dressing had a better score for appearance, aroma, and taste. -The experimental dressing had the better score for texture/mouthfeel. -Flavor scores were equal comments: Both dressings had a garlicky taste Control dressing had grainy mouthfeel, while the experiment was smoother Experimental dressing had off-color Experimental had yeast flavor Overall preferences: Control- 4/11 Experiment: 7/11. objective eval and analysis: Line-spread test: Control score – 5 Experiment score- 6.25 Conclusions: Control (parmesan) dressing was thicker/more viscous Experiment (nutritional yeast) dressing was thinner/ less viscous.
