Development of culturally appropriate low GI breakfast meals for Asian populations
(Proceedings of The Nutrition Society, 2015-01)Asian populations are known to be at increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and are therefore recommended to choose low glycaemic index (GI) foods(1). Current dietetic practice in Australia provides dietary ... -
Diet and the risk of unipolar depression in adults: systematic review of cohort studies.
(Journal of Human Nutrition and Dietetics, 2012-10)Background: Nutrition may be a risk factor for unipolar depression. We aimed to review the association between dietary variables and the risk of depression. Methods: Fifteen databases were searched up to May 2010. Only ... -
Dietary Advanced Glycation End Products and Risk Factors for Chronic Disease: A Systematic Review of Randomised Controlled Trials
(Nutrients, 2016-03)Dietary advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) form during heating and processing of food products and are widely prevalent in the modern Western diet. Recent systematic reviews indicate that consumption of dietary AGEs ... -

(MDPI Journals, 2022-03-07)The purpose of this study was to determine survivability of Escherichia coli, Deinococcus radiodurans and Paraburkholderia fungorum under Mars-simulated conditions for freeze-thawing (80 C to +30 C) and UV exposure ... -
An emerging trend in functional foods for the prevention of cardiovascular disease and diabetes: Marine algal polyphenols
(Critical Reviews in Food Science and Nutrition, 2016-11)Marine macroalgae are gaining recognition among the scientific community as a significant source of functional food ingredients. Due to the harsh environments in which macroalgae survive, they produce unique bioactive ... -
Equilibria in Multi-Objective Games: a Utility-Based Perspective
(Adaptive and Learning Agents Workshop, 2019)In multi-objective multi-agent systems (MOMAS), agents explicitly consider the possible tradeoffs between conflicting objective functions. We argue that compromises between competing objectives in MOMAS should be analysed ... -
