Evaluation of the bioactivity of prepared hospital meals
Nutrition is crucial for maintaining health and improving life quality. The macronutrients and micronutrients determine the biological activity of food products, contributing to the prevention and treatment of diseases. The term “bioactivity” refers to the ability of food products to provide health benefits. In this context, specific parameters, such as the raw material quality and processing, have a decisive influence on the nutritional value and bioactivity of the food product.
FoodOxys conducts laboratory analysis to determine the bioactivity of prepared meals for hospitalized patients, as well as medical and administrative staff. The antioxidant units provided by each meal are calculated through the assessment of free radical scavenging capacity. The results are used to create digital material, easily and quickly accessible from mobile devices by scanning a quick response code (QR code), providing important information on the quality composition, the nutritional and antioxidant characteristics of the prepared meals.
