Abstract
The objectives of this work were to evaluate workers’ consumption of fruits and vegetables in their main meals in food service unit, the principal author’s local work place, as well as to analyze the effect of diet contracts of this group of food intake. The study was divided into three phases, and it lasted two years. It involved a registered company in the Workers’ Nutrition Program (WNP) that chooses one of its units to prepare meals. It was formalized by contract intermediates and was signed under a business beneficiary and the agencies. It was found that the satisfactory consumption of fruits and vegetables was directly related to the way foods were offered. This included the correct menu planning and preparation of nutritional choices. Results obtained emphasized the importance of direct management of contracts and suppliers to help provide a healthy lifestyle.

Recent Advances in Biotransformation of Bioactive Terpenoids using Aspergillus niger
Biotransformation is the reaction catalyzed by biological catalysts of either isolated enzymes or whole cell cultures of microorganisms. This process has been extensively applied in the conversion of bioactive terpenoids with high regio- and stereospecifity. This process has been also applied in the lead discovery and development. Aspergillus niger has ...read more
