Sustainable Food for Global Health.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\nDr. Samuel Dur\u00e1n<\/strong>, Director of the Master\u2019s in Nutrition and Public Health at USS, participated in three sessions. At a roundtable organized by the European Federation of Nutrition Societies (FENS), he presented preliminary results of a study conducted with Peruvian researcher Roxana Fern\u00e1ndez on supplementation for children with anemia in Lima. The six-month study introduced chicken blood (sangrecita) into burgers and sausages for children in a vulnerable area of the Peruvian capital, showing significant improvements in anemia indicators.<\/p>\nHe also delivered a presentation on diet and sustainability and took part in the poster exhibition alongside USS academics Dr. Ana Obreg\u00f3n and Dr. Adri\u00e1n Gonz\u00e1lez.<\/p>\n
Dr. Mar\u00eda Estuardo, researcher at the Concepci\u00f3n campus, presented the study \u201cViability and antioxidant potential of Lacticaseibacillus casei in blueberry juice formulations,\u201d<\/strong> which evaluated the survival of this beneficial bacterium in refrigerated blueberry juice and changes in its antioxidant properties. She also joined a technology tour on sustainable urban tea plantations, engaging with international experts on innovative urban agriculture practices.<\/p>\nDr. Ana Obreg\u00f3n, also based in Concepci\u00f3n, presented the research \u201cOlfactory capacity in Chilean adolescents and its association with obesity,\u201d<\/strong> funded by Fondecyt Regular No. 1231260. Conducted with 205 adolescents from the Biob\u00edo Region, the study showed that girls with overweight or obesity had reduced odor discrimination capacity, a factor that could influence eating behavior.<\/p>\nNutrition and childhood health<\/h3>\n
Dr. Adri\u00e1n Gonz\u00e1lez, PhD in Food Science and Technology and researcher at the School of Speech Therapy, participated with two studies. In an oral presentation, he discussed \u201cScaling Up the Standardized Production of a Functional Food Ingredient for Targeting Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) Based on Quinoa Peptides,\u201d<\/strong> developed with researchers from Universidad de Los Andes.<\/p>\nHe also presented a poster on the impact of diet quality, its components, and nutritional status on hearing loss in adults aged 50\u201380, also in collaboration with the same institution.<\/p>\n
Global challenges, shared commitments<\/h3>\n
The participation of USS at this world congress reflects the commitment of its academics to interdisciplinary nutrition research and to generating knowledge that addresses global challenges<\/strong> such as childhood malnutrition, obesity, and chronic diseases, while promoting more sustainable and resilient food systems.<\/p>\nAt the event, the international nutrition community strongly condemned the use of food as a weapon of war and reaffirmed its commitment to food security, the transformation of food systems, and the protection of the human right to adequate nutrition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
