Aims: The rs2681492, a single nucleotide polymorphism in the ATP2B1 gene, has been reported to be associated with cardiovascular diseases and traits including blood pressure, chronic heart failure, and hypertension. The study aimed to develop a PCR-RFLP genotyping method for rs2681492 among the Vietnamese population.
This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and lessons learned from the application of Excel software into the weighing program for children under 5 at the communal level and using Epi Info in analyzing nutritional data at the provincial level in the national malnutrition control program in Da Nang city from January 2004 to July 2006.
Demanded by the current situation of nutritional issues in the community in Vietnam, the National Institute of Nutrition has been invested by the Ministry of Science and Technology to research and develop a smart nutrition consulting system for the community and patient groups (VNSNutrition). The research was implemented from September 2020 to September 2024.
The aim of this research is to study the antimutagenic activity of sticky rice cooked with various fruits vegetables and legumes. Fruits and vegetables rich in carotenoids including ivy gourd leaves, the fruit from Momordica cochinchinensis and pumpkin, two kind of legumes – mungbean and black bean – and sticky rice colored by being cooked with these fruits, vegetables and legumes were sequentially extracted with n-hexane and 80% ethanol.

Aims: To develop a protocol for geneotyping the LIPC rs2070895 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), using the allele-specific primer (AS-PCR) method.
The province has strengthened the mechanism in conducting and implementing circular 08 on food safety and hygiene of all levels and ministries. In 2000, the province gave approval document on the quality for 109 products of all kinds; in 2001, the Health Department issued approval document for 180 products which had completed the procedures of quality statement for food safety and hygiene.

During the past two decades, thanks to the policy of renovation, there has been a high rate of economic development and the nutrition situation has been improved.
Food provides essential nutrients for the body to develop and sustain life. On the other hand, food contaminated with bacteria or viruses can cause mass poisoning and greatly affect individual health, society, and the competitive edge of food in the domestic and international markets, resulting in economic consequences. According to a report by the World Health Organization, unsafe food is responsible for about 600 million cases of foodborne diseases, with 420,000 deaths each year. Among the microorganisms causing foodborne diseases, the number of infections caused by viruses is increasing, while the figures for bacteria and parasites have been improved thanks to the application of treatment technology in processing drinking water and wastewater.
Poverty is one of the main causes of malnutrition, but there are also factors such as lack of nutritious food and poor health care. This paper examines the relationship between poverty and nutritional status by analysing the 1992/93 and 1997/98 Vietnam Living Standards Surveys.

Objective: To develop a method to detect curcumin concentration in health supplement by high performance liquid chromatography with a photodiode array detector. Method: Curcurmin was extracted by sonication in methanol for 30 min and separated by a reversed phase C18 column using a mobile phase including buffer, methanol and acetonitrile.
Khẩu phần dinh dưỡng hợp lý rất cần thiết cho phát triển toàn diện cả về thể lực và trí lực của học sinh tiểu học (HSTH). Các nghiên cứu về tần suất tiêu thụ thực phẩm (TSTTTP) và khẩu phần thực tế của HSTH ở Việt Nam triển khai chưa nhiều và chưa có hệ thống.
The clinical trial was conducted in adults, who are overweight/obese. It is evident that the weight reducing milk is safe, convenient and has no side effects. After 6 weeks of trial, the product had the efficacy of reducing weight, which is 5.9% of average body weight (3.9kg).
Several factors that influence histamine content in scad products were investigated in a cross sectional study in Thanh Hoa province in 2012. Histamine levels were found from 0.28mg/kg to 1665mg/kg in fresh scads and from 0.08mg/kg to 241mg/kg in processed scads. The histamine content depends on the type of scad, duration from purchasing to processing, the storage conditions, and primary-processing procedures.
