Healthy and tasty diet in school meals with a focus on salt and flavorings
ŠNOKHOUSOVÁ, Veronika
My bachelor thesis is called "Healthy and tasty diet in school meals with a focus on salt and flavorings". The production of more and more processed food and change of a lifestyle change eating habits. The population consumes more energy-dense foods with a high content of saturated fat, trans-fatty acids, sugars and salt. Salt is main source of sodium and its consumption is connected with hypertension and increased risk of heart diseases. The thesis is divided into two parts - theoretical and practical. In the theoretical part I deal with school feeding programs for children of age 11 to 15. I focus on basic nutrients, nutritional recommendations and above all on salt and flavourings. For practical part I have chosen as a first goal to find out if the meals are balanced and evaluate the quality of food. Another goal is to find out if the employees in school canteens have proper information about salt and flavourings. The last goal was to focus on children and their satisfaction with the meals through questionnaires. The result of practical part showed that meals are often oversalted, insufficient to satiate and does not look interesting.
