AB  - Objectives: Edible seeds are usually consumed as common food ingredients. They are
considered to have a rich nutrient profile, containing different macro and micronutrients, as well
as some biologically active compounds with positive health effects, such as different phenolics.
The aim of this work was to determine total phenolics (TPC) and total flavonoid content (TFC)
in selected commercial seeds samples from the Serbian market. Methods: Samples of nine seeds
were investigated (sesame and black sesame, raw and roasted sunflower, raw and roasted pumpkin,
hemp, chia and linseed). The samples of native seeds and those defatted using dichloromethane
(maceration and Soxhlet extraction) were extracted with 80% methanol. Obtained hydro-methanol
extracts were dried and further analysed using spectrophotometric methods: TPC was determined
using Folin–Ciocalteu (FC) reagent and expressed as gallic acid equivalents (GAE), while TFC was
measured based on the reaction between flavonoids and aluminium chloride and expressed as
catechin equivalents (KE). Results: In general, hydro-methanol extracts of seed samples defatted
using Soxhlet extraction had the highest TPC and TFC contents. TPC values ranged from 9.47 g
GAE/mg (raw pumpkin seed) to over 170 g GAE/mg (raw sunflower seeds). As for TFC, the
highest amount was measured in extracts of defatted raw sunflower seeds (over 150 g KE/mg),
while roasted pumpkin and hemp seeds’ extracts were practically devoid of flavonoids. Conclusion:
Our results confirmed the fact that certain defatted seeds, which are usually considered as waste
products in oil production, could be considered as valuable sources of certain secondary plant
metabolites, implicating further investigations on their composition and potential in the development
of functional foods.

AB  - Objectives: A healthy diet includes the intake of sugar (up to 5%) from natural sources,
because added sugars increase energy but not nutritional value, and are associated with an increased
risk of developing obesity, cardiovascular diseases and hypertension. Sugars present in fresh fruit,
fruit juices and nectars, refreshing soft drinks and alcoholic drinks usually represent half of the
total sugar intake. The aim of this study was to analyze, through surveys, the habits of the student
population regarding the consumption of food from the sources mentioned and to determine the
amount of sugar consumed. Methods: 123 students (male: 36, female: 87), aged 19 to 32, participated
in this research. Data collection was voluntary and anonymous, and the survey was conducted
using an electronic questionnaire during February 2023. The data on the sugar content of the foods
mentioned were taken from the declarations of the products that are available for free sale. Results:
Based on the processed results from the completed questionnaires, it was concluded that from the
sources mentioned, sugar is represented by 3.7% in relation to the total energy intake, and added
sugar by 2.4% if 2000 kcal/day is consumed. In relation to the representation of carbohydrates of
60% in relation to the total energy intake, the sugar content from the tested sources accounted for
6.3%, and added sugar accounted for 4.0%. Students reported that they most often do not consume
hard liquor (88% of respondents), and that they eat a teaspoon of honey/sugar once a day (14% of
respondents). Conclusion: Although the obtained results are very acceptable and encouraging, it
is necessary to act additionally in terms of increasing awareness of the reduced intake of products
with added sugars and their replacement with those that contain biologically active compounds in
addition to natural sugar composition.

AB  - Infant formula and follow-on formula, baby food and food supplements are important sources of essential nutrients for infants and young children. It is therefore important to monitor the nutrient content of these products. The content of vitamins A, D, E, C and B group was determined in 121 samples (44 samples of infant and follow-on formulas, baby foods, foods for special medical purposes and 77 of food supplements for children. High Performance Liquid Chromatography with Fluorescence and Diode Array Detector (HPLC-FLD-DAD) methods, were used for analysis. Among these samples, almost every third sample was outside of the defined tolerance range. The biggest deviations were found for vitamins A and E. The obtained values in foods for infants and young children for vitamins A and E was 17–147 % and 24–140 % of the declared value, respectively, whereas for food supplements, they were 5–150 % and 52–205 %, respectively. The highest values for vitamin E were in instant drinks (80–203 % of the declared value). The content of vitamins D and B2 in food supplements in liquid form was 10–127 % and 11–110 % of the declared value, respectively. Considering that these foods are often the only source of essential nutrients for infants and children, these results show the need for regular monitoring of the composition of these products.

AB  - Objective. Aim of this paper was to correlate exposure to household second-hand smoke and respiratory symptoms in participating school children, who are attending ten primary schools in Belgrade, Serbia. Method. In order to determine correlation between second-hand smoke exposure at home and respiratory symptoms in primary school pupils, a comparative cross-sectional study has been conducted. The study was conducted in ten primary schools on 735 children, in 44 classrooms in Belgrade, Serbia. A standardized questionnaire was distributed to parents/caregivers, on child's respiratory health, socioeconomic status and parents' lifestyle habits, primarily cigarette smoking. Results. 78% of all exposed children have parents smoking up to 20 cigarettes/day, while more than 22% are exposed to parents' household second-hand smoke of more than 21 cigarettes per day (p lt 0.0001). Respiratory disorders appear in 45.9% of children exposed to domestic second-hand smoke (CI 1.04-1.89), asthmatic symptoms in 33.5% (CI 0.94-1.78), while the least incidence of disorders is reported for continuous cough, which have lasted for 3 months (3.3%, CI 0.44-2.36), wheezing after exercise (4.5%, CI 0.38-1.41) and being awaken by wheezing in last 12 months (7.4%, CI 0.89-3.28). Conclusion. Univariate logistic regression analysis proved that parental smoking exposure is a statistically significant predictor for childhood respiratory symptoms' manifestation.

AB  - Background: Pharmaceutical products can become a potential source of poisoning. The improper disposal of unused medicines is a growing problem throughout the world, with a manifold effect on the cost of health care, public health and the environment. The objectives of this research are the overview of current situation of pharmaceutical waste management in the pharmacy sector in the Republic of Serbia, attitudes and knowledge of pharmacists on the matter and the measures they should undertake in order to make the general public aware of the significance of proper disposal of medications. Methods: The research was conducted as a cross- sectional study on entire population of state pharmacies at the primary health care level in the Republic of Serbia, in March 2013. Primary data were collected by filling in a 14 questions questionnaire that was specially designed for this research. Results: The questionnaire was completed by 683 (34 healthcare institutions - pharmacy) pharmacies. According to the data obtained, 76.5% of pharmacies collect expired medicines that people bring there in order to get them put away, while 23.5% pharmacies assert that they do not collect pharmaceutical waste from households at all. Conclusion: The pharmacies have not started to implement their legal obligation of collecting pharmaceutical waste from the citizens yet, at least not in the full range. The development and practical implementation of adequate procedures and facilities for the disposal of this type of waste represents the key step towards the decrease of pharmaceutical waste in the environment.

abstract = "Background: Pharmaceutical products can become a potential source of poisoning. The improper disposal of unused medicines is a growing problem throughout the world, with a manifold effect on the cost of health care, public health and the environment. The objectives of this research are the overview of current situation of pharmaceutical waste management in the pharmacy sector in the Republic of Serbia, attitudes and knowledge of pharmacists on the matter and the measures they should undertake in order to make the general public aware of the significance of proper disposal of medications. Methods: The research was conducted as a cross- sectional study on entire population of state pharmacies at the primary health care level in the Republic of Serbia, in March 2013. Primary data were collected by filling in a 14 questions questionnaire that was specially designed for this research. Results: The questionnaire was completed by 683 (34 healthcare institutions - pharmacy) pharmacies. According to the data obtained, 76.5% of pharmacies collect expired medicines that people bring there in order to get them put away, while 23.5% pharmacies assert that they do not collect pharmaceutical waste from households at all. Conclusion: The pharmacies have not started to implement their legal obligation of collecting pharmaceutical waste from the citizens yet, at least not in the full range. The development and practical implementation of adequate procedures and facilities for the disposal of this type of waste represents the key step towards the decrease of pharmaceutical waste in the environment.",
