Abstract

The nutritional importance of the nutrients contained in foods and their positive/negative effects on health are evaluated by various methods. In the literature, indexes that evaluate the nutritional properties of foods and diet in general are widely used. Sorting and/or classifying foods according to their nutrient content, forming a nutrient profile and measuring the nutritional properties of foods are gaining importance day by day. Evaluating the nutritional properties of foods in terms of either fatty acids, protein or carbohydrates does not provide a holistic approach. In this review, in order to provide this holistic approach, methods that evaluate the nutritional properties of foods by macro and micro nutrients, defined as index or score in the literature, are examined.

GIDALARIN BESLEYİCİLİK ÖZELLİKLERİNİ DEĞERLENDİREN İNDEKSLER

Abstract

Gıdaların içerdiği besin öğelerinin beslenme açısından önemi ve sağlık üzerine olumlu/olumsuz etkileri çeşitli yöntemlerle değerlendirilmektedir. Literatürde gıdaların ve diyetin genel olarak besleyici özelliğinin değerlendirildiği indeksler oldukça yaygın olarak kullanılmaktadır. Gıdaların besin öğesi içeriklerine göre sıralanması ve/veya sınıflandırılması ile besin öğesi profilinin oluşturulması ve gıdaların besleyicilik özelliklerinin ölçülmesinde kullanılması gün geçtikçe önem kazanmaktadır. Gıdaların besleyicilik özelliğinin içerdikleri yağ asitleri, protein veya karbonhidrat vb. besin öğelerinden herhangi biri açısından değerlendirilmesi bütünsel bir yaklaşım sağlamamaktadır. Bu derlemede, bu bütünsel yaklaşımı sağlayacak nitelikte, gıdaların makro ve mikro besin öğeleri ile besleyicilik özelliklerinin değerlendirildiği, literatürde indeks veya puan olarak tanımlanmış ve kullanılmakta olan geçerli yöntemler incelenmiştir.

Keywords
