Aplicação do índice de alimentos ricos em nutrientes (NRF8,2) em “cardápios da alimentação escolar” de Minas Gerais

Abstract

With the increase in the cost of staple foods, low-income groups may find it difficult to maintain adequate nutrient intake, especially in times of economic crisis. This condition is capable of developing the cognitive and physical development of growth, reflecting directly on factors such as economic growth and the complement of public welfare policies. Among the main lines of construction reduction is being changed as the most important lines of growth in construction. This study aimed to evaluate the applicability of the tool called Index of Foods Rich in Nutrients (NRF8,2) on the cost, in the “School Feeding Menus”, prepared by the School Feeding Program of the Minas Gerais State Department of Education. and natural also the nutritional influence of the two dairy products in the low-fat yogurt menus. The added dairy products of the week, during the week, the same fixed days. To compare the results of the NRF8,2, a study of the global quality of the preparations was carried out using the Meal Quality Index (IQR). Statistical tests, performed with a nutritional significance of 5%, lactic acid independent of the fixed day and cteo product tested, showed a significant difference in nutritional terms. When thinking of low-fat yogurt, impact was positive by both indices. Natural yogurt, on the other hand, had a positive impact only in the evaluation by the NRF8,2 on the cost. It is believed that the IQR was restrictive for studies on the inclusion of natural dairy products in the menu, through a selected fat as a food limiting factor, as opposed to reports, determining the evaluation of the natural preparation. The results of this work expand the scientific knowledge of the nutritional assessment of the NRF8,2 on the cost and identify the potential of dairy products, considering their compositional richness, to mitigate the deficiency.
