Couscous is a staple dish that became recognized and registered as an immaterial cultural heritage by UNESCO, simultaneously for Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco, and Mauritania (UNESCO, Knowledge, know-how and practices pertaining to the production and consumption of couscous, 2020). It represents a mixture of love, heritage, and innovation, which links identity, originality, and modernization. The dish is eligible for two of the five broad domains in which intangible cultural heritage is manifested: social practices, rituals, and festive events. Once a fiction film represents this gastronomic heritage, it reflects the filmmaker's culture and identity during its international distribution. This study aims to compare the couscous dish’s illustrations in Tunisian fiction films such as Halfaouine, Under the Rain of Autumn, and The Secret of the Grain; to prove how fiction movies be considered as an identity card for any filmmaker’s homeland by reflecting the culinary cultural heritage of their homeland, or even a tourism promotion for his nation; and most of all to evince that a fiction movie could become a reference for researchers, in tandem with scientific articles and books.

Cuscus is marsgupials endemic to the eastern part of Indonesia. Populations and their habitats are under pressure due to deforestation, land clearing and massive utilization of forest resources. Studies on cuscus ecology have mainly focused on protected habitats or conservation areas. This study aims to identify and analyse populations and predict the distribution of cuscus in production forest area, which is PT Wijaya Sentosa. This study was conducted in November 2020 until January 2021 in several land cover categories. The methods used in this study were literature and secondary data studies, field observations using striptransect and camera trap techniques, interviews using purposive sampling techniques. This study found nine individual cuscuses from two families, namely Phalanger and Spilocuscus, as well as four species, namely ground cuscus (Phalanger gymnotis), spotted cuscus (Spilocuscus maculatus), Bohai cuscus (Spilocuscus rufoniger) and gray cuscus (Phalanger orientalis). Individual encounters were obtained from direct observation with transect lines and two cuscus individuals from camera traps. Ground cuscus (P. gymnotis) populations had the highest abundance and density, while spotted cuscus (S. maculatus) populations had the lowest values. The population structure was dominated by males and adult age classes, but no females and young age classes were found. Most cuscus was found alone on the observation path and was not found on every path. The distribution pattern of the cuscus population in the production forest of PT Wijaya Sentosa's concession is grouped/aggregated, based on the dispersion index value and the ratio of the value of variance to the mean value. The most common ground cuscus was found in the 2018 and around the 2013 logged-over areas (LOA). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Couscous is an ancient meal available almost anywhere in North Africa. It is well)known as a staple meal in Algeria, with several variations in terms of ethnic cuisine and preparation. For this study, we chose a standard couscous recipe that includes all the elements used in the making of a couscous-based dish (meat, vegetables, and legumes) in order to investigate the lipid profile, nutrient composition and define the adequate serving size for a complete couscous dish. This study focused on the lipid composition and lipid health indices of this popular dish as fat can contribute to the increase of nutrition related diseases, which have been prevailing lately. Our results showed that, a nutritionally adequate serving size of couscous providing 942 Kcal energy, contains 10.26 g of protein, 28.13 g of fat and 162 g of carbohydrates, is equal to 270 g. The fat content of the studied couscous was estimated to 10.42 per 100 g and was related to the amount of cooking oil used and also to the fat content of beef, which is the main ingredient of the couscous dish. The lipid profile showed that most of the fatty acids were polyunsaturated with moderate amounts of monounsaturated and saturated fatty acids. This reflected on the atherogenic and thrombogenic indices which were found to be low 0.556 and 07,67 respectively; this is due to the low saturated fatty acids that are the main contributors to atherogenicity and thrombogenicity, cholesterol was also low at 0.829 mg/100g. Couscous proved to be a good source of dietary fibres 52.11 g per serving. Vitamin B12 was not detected, but each vitamin B1, B3, B6, A and D was found in various amounts, 4.120; 3.286; 0.754; 0.189; 0.226 mcg/100g respectively. Beef and ghee might be at the origin of vitamin D which rarely occurs in food other than seafood. Although there are many variations in this popular dish, this study gives an overall idea of the nutritional value of similarly composed couscous-based dishes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the frame of reformulating food products for valorizing underutilized crops and enhancing both the nutritional and sensory characteristics of traditional foods, this study explored the potential impact of sprouting on some features of couscous prepared from buckwheat. Specifically, the impact of two sprouting times (48 h and 72 h) and two enrichment levels (25% and 50%) on physical properties (bulk density, hydration properties), cooking behavior (e.g., texture), chemical features (e.g., total phenolic content, rutin and quercetin), antioxidant activity (DPPH assay), and sensory traits (by means of electronic nose, tongue, and eye) was considered. Results showed that the replacement of 50% of pre-gelatinized buckwheat flour with 72 h-sprouted buckwheat flour resulted in a couscous with a higher content of phenolic compounds (including rutin and quercetin) and antioxidant activity; the related values further increased upon cooking. Moreover, except for the hardness and gumminess that were worsened (i.e., their values increased), cohesiveness and resilience improved in the presence of sprouted buckwheat (i.e., their values increased). Finally, the overall sensory traits improved with the addition of 50% sprouted buckwheat, since both bitterness and astringency decreased in the reformulated couscous. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

DURUM wheat ,STARCH ,BREAD ,GLYCEMIC index ,PASTA ,GLYCEMIC control ,COUSCOUS - Abstract
The rate at which starch is digested in the human intestine elicits different glycemic responses and reflects the glycemic index (GI) of foods. In vitro measurement of starch digestibility can reflect the GI of food. Differences in starch digestibility among four durum wheat pasta samples, couscous, and bread were evaluated to better describe the role of the pasta making process in affecting starch digestibility. Statistical differences in RDS (rapidly digestible starch), SDS (slowly digestible starch), and RS (resistant starch) of products were found (p < 0.05). As expected, pasta samples showed the highest value of SDS/av starch compared to couscous and bread. Fusilli and cavatelli samples presented the highest SDS/av starch ratio (55.80 ± 3.06% and 53.91 ± 3.50%, respectively), then came spaghetti 49.39 ± 2.83% and penne 45.93 ± 1.19%, while couscous presented the lowest value of SDS/av starch (2.64 ± 0.50%), followed by bread (11.78 ± 2.63%). Our study confirmed that the pasta making process efficiently mediates an increase in SDS/Av starch content, which has been specifically quantified above 40%, therefore strongly related to a lowered glycemic response in vivo. Our results strengthened the concept that pasta is a good source of SDS, which makes it useful for glycemic control. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
