Nutrition labels on packaged foods or on shelf tags are used to help the general population make informed food choices to prevent or reduce diet-related chronic diseases and meet nutritional needs. However, inaccurate nutrition labeling can mislead consumers by providing unsuitable nutritional assessments, which can increase the risk of certain chr...

Computing the food component (nutrient) amount in 100 kilocalories, 100 grams or 100 milliliters, the reference amount customarily consumed (RACC), or 50 grams of food demonstrates the food component amount of some foods unsuitably. So, selecting some foods based on them may elevate the hazards of some chronic diseases. Computing the food component...

Background: Calculating the fat content per 100 g or 100 mL, 50 g, or the reference amount customarily consumed (RACC) shows the fat content of some foods inappropriately. Therefore, making some food choices based on them to limit fat intake may increase the risks of some chronic diseases. Methods: We calculated the fat content and determining a...

Calculation of dietary fiber quantity (content or amount) at 100 mL or 100 g, 100 kcal, or the reference amount customarily consumed (RACC) improperly indicates the quantity of dietary fiber for some foods. So, choosing some foods in accordance with those quantities may raise the risk of some chronic diseases. Calculation of dietary fiber quantity...

The calcium content of some foods is inappropriately calculated per 100 kcal, 100 g or 100 mL, or the reference amount customarily consumed (RACC). So, making some food choices based on them to achieve adequate calcium may increase the risks of some chronic diseases. Calculating the calcium content and determining appropriate calcium levels based o...

Since the amount of food can affect the copper content, the copper content of different amounts of food (except foods without copper) is different. The copper content of some foods is inappropriately calculated per 100 kcal, 100 g or 100 mL, or the reference amount customarily consumed (RACC). Thus, making some food choices based on these calculati...

The thiamin content of some foods is inappropriately calculated per 100 kcal, 100 g or 100 mL, or the reference amount customarily consumed (RACC). So, making some food choices based on them to achieve adequate thiamin intake may increase the risks of some chronic diseases. Calculating the thiamin content and determining appropriate thiamin levels...

We revealed critical vulnerabilities of nutrient content claims under FDA per serving size (serving), CAC per 100 g or mL, CAC per serving, and CAC per 100 kcal and developed the proposed method to remove all vulnerabilities. We calculated the nutrient content of foods based on nutrient content claims under the proposed method. Then, we determined...

The prediction of biological targets of bioactive molecules from machine-readable materials can be routinely performed by computational target prediction tools (CTPTs). However, the prediction of biological targets of bioactive molecules from non-digital materials (e.g., printed or handwritten documents) has not been possible due to the complex nat...

There are various tools for computational target prediction of bioactive molecules from a chemical structure in a machine-readable material but these tools can't distinguish a primary target from other targets. Also, due to the complex nature of bioactive molecules, there has not been a method to predict a target and or a primary target from a chem...

There are inaccuracies in the chemical families of the WSSA and HRAC herbicide classification systems which could limit their practical use in herbicide-based weed management strategies. In essence, these inaccuracies could be divided into four parts: (i) the nomenclature of many of the chemical families is not correct, (ii) distinct active ingredi...
