Use the Thesaurus in the Food Science Files?
TOPIC: The food science files on Dialog cover the range of technical topics including analytical techniques, automation, chemistry, microbiology, patents, safety and consumption. Many of these databases give you the added bonus of highly controlled indexing, with thesauri, section headings and the freedom to use natural language. Food Science and Technology Abstracts (File 51) continually expands its coverage, adding such new topics as obesity, diet regimes, nutritional management and recently, pet foods. Consider also FOODLINE®: SCIENCE (File 53), AGRICOLA (File 10) and CAB ABSTRACTS (File 50).
Much has been written about the power of antioxidants in chocolate. To find authoritative articles confirming or denying this statement start by using the thesaurus in File 51 to find cocoa, chocolate and related terms both in the Descriptor field (/DE) and as a Section Heading (SH=).
Note: The use of EXPAND demonstrates effective use of the interactive thesaurus. This search can be done in a quick, but less precise way by entering the strategy SELECT ((COCOA! OR CHOCOLATE)/DE,TI OR SH=COCOA?) AND ANTIOXID?/TI,DE.
Note: File 10 has no thersaurus. Limit the terms to the title (/TI), descriptor (/DE) and identifier (/ID). Although File 50 has a thesaurus, there are no narrower terms for this search so terms can also be limited to title, descriptor and identifier.

HOW TO...

1. BEGIN File 51 to search Food Science and Technology Database.
2. EXPAND cocoa. The list of terms shows that cocoa has 10 related terms (RT).
3. EXPAND e3 to see the list of related terms for cocoa.
Cocoa has two narrower terms: cocoa beans and cocoa industry. You can use the Explode feature to retrieve records with all three descriptor terms. The term Cacao appears in R2 as a see From. If you were to EXPAND (CACAO) you would find that it points to Use Cocoa.
Note that Chocolate is a Related term. The explode feature will pick up Narrower terms, but not Related terms.
4. SELECT cocoa with an exclamation point to perform the explosion of the term. |

The proximate composition and dietary fibre (DF)
content of a fibre-rich product obtained from cocoa
were studied. This product contained 60.54% (dry
matter basis) of DF, made of mainly insoluble fibre
although with appreciable amounts of soluble dietary
fibre (10.09% d.m.). The presence of associated
polyphenolic compounds (1.32% and 4.46% of soluble
polyphenols and condensed tannins, respectively)
provides this fibre material with intrinsic antioxidant
capacity as determined by the FRAP and TEAC methods.
