    This study aimed to adapt to Turkish culture the "Food Chain Engagement Measurement Scale” (FCEMS), which determines the participation of individuals in the food chain and consists of the sub-dimensions of obtaining communication, waste reduction, planning, and preparation. It aimed to evaluate FCEMS scores according to their general and food purchasing-meal preparation characteristics. The scale was translated from English into the target language, Turkish, by experts, and after the necessary controls, it was translated back into the primary language. It was finalized after final checks and the pilot study. A questionnaire containing general information, information about purchasing and preparing food, and the 'Food Chain Engagement Measurement Scale' was applied to the participants, and data was collected by face-to-face interview technique. A total of 1127 adults, 712 women and 415 men, were included in the study. The mean FCEMS score was higher in women, those with higher education levels, married, living in urban areas, with chronic diseases, and on a diet (p<0.05). FCEMS score varied depending on the behaviors of purchasing and preparing food of participants (p<0.05). The factor loadings of the scale items adapted to Turkish ranged between 0.42 and 0.803, and the fit statistics were found to be high. The total Cronbach's alpha coefficient of the scale was calculated as 0.804. As a result of analyses, it was concluded that the scale is a valid and reliable measurement tool in Turkish and can be applied to adults. © 2024 Sidas Medya A.S.. All rights reserved.

    Changes in Quality of Alimentation, Anthropometric Measurements, Emotional and Appetite Status of Bariatric Surgery Patients: A Retrospective Cohort Study
    (Lifescience Global, 2024) Özenir, Çiler; Erdem, Nihal Zekiye; Kaçar, Mihrican; Öncel, Sevgi Yurt
    Introduction: Laparoscopic adjustable gastric band (LAGB) operation is one of the bariatric surgery methods used to treat extreme obesity. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the changes in food tolerance, quality of alimentation, anthropometric measurements, and emotional and appetite status following LAGB. Materials and methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted with 98 patients, 1 year had passed since LAGB. In this study, no sample selection method was used; all patients who met the inclusion criteria and volunteered participated. The questionnaire form included questions to determine the patients’ demographic information, anthropometric measurements, changing food consumption, pre- and post-operative meal consumption, appetite and emotional status. Quality of Alimentation (QA) reflects patients’ post-operative dietary satisfaction and tolerance. The QA Form was used to evaluate post-operative food tolerance. Results: The average age was 38.61±9.82 years, and the mean QA score was 15.59±4.81. The patients lost an average of 30.80±17.76 kg of body weight from pre-operative to post-operative 1st year, and the percentage of patients’ excessive body weight loss was found to be 54.37±26.42. It was determined that the foods that were most difficult to consume after the operation were red meat, white meat, bread, rice, pasta, and salad, respectively. Conclusions: This study uniquely evaluates food tolerance using the QA Form, offering insights into post-operative dietary challenges. LAGB effectively reduces appetite, promotes weight loss, and has a positive impact on patients’ emotional health. © 2024 Özenir et al.

    Evaluation of energy and nutrient content of fruit juices and similar beverages in Türkiye and their investigation in terms of sustainability
    (2023) Özenir, Çiler; Kaçar, Mihrican; Berk, Gizem; Kayhan, Beyza
    This study aims to evaluate the contents of fruit juices and similar beverages in the Turkish market and to examine them in line with the Sustainable Development Goals. Within the scope of the study, the researchers examined the label information of 187 fruit juices and similar beverages from 26 different brands in four different product types. It was determined that all fruit nectars (100%) and almost all fruit and flavored beverages contain added sugar (92.8% for fruit beverages and 70.0% for flavored beverages). It was further detected that 17.5% of fruit nectars and 20.3% of fruit beverages contain sweeteners. Moreover, more than 100% of the daily sodium requirement is met by consuming 100 ml of fruit juice, nectar, or beverages. It was determined that orange and apple juices, apricot, peach, and cherry fruit nectars, and peach, sour cherry, and orange fruit beverages contain more sugar than freshly squeezed fruit juices (p<0.05). The high-fructose syrup manufacturing industry produces large volumes of waste liquid containing various waste carbohydrates, which has a significant environmental impact. Greenhouse gas emission sources are also released to the environment in sugar production processes. On the other hand, it was determined that most of the products examined were packaged in Tetra Pak® packaging. More sustainable product supply chains are those that optimize the use of materials, water, and energy throughout their lifecycle while minimizing waste from products and used packaging. In light of the data obtained from this study, it would be useful for the fruit juice industry to make regulations to ensure sustainable production and consumption patterns in order to ensure a healthy and quality life at all ages.
