The problem of unhealthy diets and growing overweight, obesity and diet-related diseases (e.g. diabetes, hypertension…) in the UAE and neighbouring States;

1-the report of the WHO Commission on Ending Childhood Obesity (2016): this report sets the tone of what States around the world should aim to do to help prevent child obesity
2- the report my supervisor wrote with some Liverpool colleagues for Unicef (2018): this report aims to frame the problem of child obesity and food marketing more specifically as a children’s rights issue
3-the Lancet Commission report (2019): this report further raises the alarm on the need to tackle all forms of malnutrition for human and planetary health
4-the EMRO nutrition strategy (2010-2019): you should check the latest documents available relating to nutrition on the EMRO website too
5-the EMRO technical report on nutrition (2017)
6-the report on food marketing I wrote following a project running from 2013 to 2018 (2018)
7- the note following the regional committee meeting on obesity in the EMR (2018)
8-the Unicef advocacy brief on healthy food environments (2019): published for the 30th anniversary of the Convention on the Rights of the Child

Once you have looked at these references and done further independent research (the documents refer to a wealth of interesting references), perhaps you can draft a five- or six-page proposal identifying:

1-the area you would like to research during your PhD studies
2-why you think this topic is of major significance
3-the research questions you have identified and would like your PhD to answer
4-why you think you are well placed to undertake this research

Sample Solution

e molten cheese samples were then hot-filled into rectangular molds, cooled to 4 ◦C, and stored at that temperature.
Processed cheese samples containing asparagus powder were prepared in the same way by adding asparagus powder (0.5%, 1% and 1.5% wt/wt). Tomato and asparagus powders were prepared by grinding of dried tomato and asparagus by a grinder (Pars Khazar Grinder Chili, Iran). Qualitative analysis including measurement of dry matter content, fat content, pH, lipolysis, proteolysis, water-soluble phenolic content (WSPC), lycopene content and antioxidant activity (AOA) were carried out on days of (1, 20, 40, 60 and 90). Rheological measurements were analyzed after 20 days of storage.

Chemical Analysis: Dry matter content was determined by drying at 102 °C to a constant weight according to the IDF, 198211. Fat content was determined by the Gerber method described by Marshal12. The pH of the samples was estimated at room temperature with the direct insertion of a glass electrode into the sample, using a previously standardized digital pH meter (PHC3031-9, Radiometer Analytical, Copenhagen, Denmark) according to the method described by Marshal12. Protein concentration was determined by the Kjeldahl method13.

Water-Soluble Phenolic Content: The water-soluble phenolic content was measured via the Folin- Ciocalteu procedure, according to an assay modified by Shetty et al.15. Homogenized water extract, was prepared by the method of Apostolidis et al.16, and 1 ml was transferred into a test tube and mixed with 1 ml of 95 % ethanol and 5 ml of distilled water. To each sample, 0.5 ml of 50 % (V/V) Folin- Ciocalteu’s reagent was added and mixed. After 5 min, 1 ml of 5 % Na2CO3 was added to the reaction mixture and allowed to stand for 60 min. The absorbance was read at 725 nm in a spectrophotometer (Jenw
