Stability of nutrients in complex liquid and powder food matrices: learnings from shelf-life studies in foods for special medical purposes.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
We investigated the effects of physical state, temperature, pH, protective atmosphere, protein hydrolysis, fats, fibre, packaging and flavour on nutrient degradation by analyzing the results of shelf-life studies of 1400 recipes of Foods for Special Medical Purposes (FSMP). For each nutrient, the adaptive LASSO method was applied to identify which factors drive degradation. Degradation percentage was estimated by repeated measure model using the list of identified factors and time as covariates. Nutrients that had little or no degradation under all tested conditions included fat, protein, individual fatty acids, minerals and the vitamins B2, B6, E, K, niacin, biotin and beta carotene. Important nutrient degradation which was, mainly driven by temperature, were only observed in vitamin A (powder products), vitamin C, B1 and D (liquid products) and pantothenic acid (acidified liquids). These nutrients used as tracers in stability studies would be sufficient to confirm the nutritional suitability of products until their end of shelf-life. Our results show that the most important factors driving nutrient degradation were liquid format, temperature and pH. The fat content, relative humidity, presence of fibre, flavours or packaging size/type did not impact on the stability of any nutrients. These results provide a sound basis to guide health authorities to define which nutrients should ideally be included in FSMP shelf-life studies in addition to providing valuable insight into which factors impact on nutrient degradation in general.
