About this Research Topic
In today’s globalized market, the range of available foods and the adoption of various international cuisines have broadened the culinary landscape, increasing access to diverse dietary options. This shift raises important questions regarding the nutritional implications of different culinary practices in modern societies. As awareness grows about how cooking methods can dramatically alter the nutritional profile and safety of foods—the interest in understanding these effects has surged, especially with the rising popularity of raw food diets. Moreover, the variations in cooking practices among different populations and their evolution due to global influences necessitate a thorough examination from a nutritional and epidemiological perspective.
This Research Topic aims to explore the intricate relationship between cooking methods and their impact on nutritional quality and food safety within clinical and community settings. It seeks to address questions around how different cooking practices affect antioxidant levels, food's nutritional composition, and the association between cooking methods and health outcomes. By scrutinizing how these practices vary across different communities and time due to globalization, it attempts to connect dietary habits with health implications in a meaningful way.
The scope of this Research Topic encompasses a detailed examination of the impact of cooking techniques on nutrition and health safety. It aims to gather comprehensive insights about the range and diversity of cooking methods existing globally and their nutritional implications.
We welcome articles addressing, but not limited to, the following themes:
- Culinary abilities and the propensity to cook in various populations.
- Common cooking techniques and their effects on human health.
- The influence of cooking techniques on the nutritional composition of food.
- The influence of cooking techniques on food safety and health.
- Prevalence of raw food consumption and potential health risks/benefits.
- Evaluation of community-based interventions based on culinary training and promotion of cooking techniques that preserve nutrients more effectively.
