Diabetes affects at least 285 million people globally, and this number continues to increase. Clinical complications include impaired glucose metabolism, hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia, atherosclerosis non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Evidence has shown that natural phenolics play a protective effect on both the development management of type 2 diabetes. This study evaluated effects extract from peanut skins containing polyphenols induced- hyperglycemia using in vivo vitro methods. A human...

Summary Consumption of Orange‐Fleshed sweetpotato ( OFSP ) and products as source provitamin A is being promoted to tackle vitamin deficiency VAD in sub‐Saharan Africa. However, limited information available on β‐carotene retention foods delivery after digestion. The study assessed carotene bioaccessibility following vitro digestion traditional having among the ingredients. Sunflower oil, margarine beef fat were evaluated their effect bioaccessibility. Porridge chapatis prepared with either...

Calcium and vitamin D play a critical role in the prevention of metabolic diseases includingosteoporosis, osteomalacia, stress fractures, butaverage intake is below RDA. The objective this study was to test water-soluble form andcalcium chloride as fortifiers for sports drink solution using rat bioavailabilityassay.Vitamin fortifying ingredient prepared spray-dried complexwith bovine beta-lactoglobulin. Flavored beverages were formulated with various ratios calcium 4x4factorial design....

β -Lactoglobulin is capable of binding fat-soluble compounds including vitamin A palmitate and suggested to specifically enhance intestinal uptake retinol. In this study, bioavailability a vitamin-A-retinyl complex in skim milk water-based liquids was investigated vitamin-A-depleted rats. First, rats were fed vitamin-A-free pellet diet for 6 wk thereafter gavage-fed with oil, vitamin-A- -lactoglobulin complex, oil + milk, 2 42 wk. Vitamin repletion, as judged by accumulation serum liver,...

Background: Elevated concentrations of blood glucose following intake soluble starch are partly responsible forthe tissue and organ damage associated with diabetes metabolic syndrome. A dietary supplement that lowersthe glycemic response to other starchy foods would provide diabetic patients a wider variety in theirdiet. Objective: This project tested the hypothesis white kidney bean protein lowers peak glucoseconcentration overall consumption fixed amount carbohydrate. Methods: Glycemic...

The objective was to examine the bacteriological and immunological properties of freshly expressed, previously frozen, leftover mothers' own milk during storage.In first two pilot studies, 12 mother-infant dyads participated. studied included expressed unfed milk. Milk samples were stored at 24°C, 4°C, or -20°C. In second study, 11 that had been including frozen 24°C 4°C. After storage in both analyzed for properties.Bacteriological characteristics remained stable 4°C least 6 days. quality...

Sweet potatoes are rich in dietary fiber, minerals, vitamins and bioactive compounds such as β‐carotene, phenolics anthocyanins that provide distinctive skin flesh colors. Although high carbohydrate, sweet usually have moderate (56–69) glycemic index (GI). This study aimed to 1) investigate GI of different commercial cultivars potatoes; 2) determine how the is impacted by specific plant components. Eight potato with white, yellow, orange, or purple were analyzed for moisture, ash, fat,...

Milk intake in developing countries like Malawi is low, contributing to of calcium below recommendations; increasing milk availability from local sources could significantly improve nutrient this population. Government programs promote the use Friesian cows and cross breeding traditional zebu Friesians performance increase production. The objective study was compare composition heat stress response among (Z), (F), cross‐bred (C) as a component effort dairy product economic return...

The objective was to compare the glycemic response among Beauregard orange sweet potato (SP), Pakistan White Star SP, commercial Caiapo (a dietary supplement from Japanese SP), and skin. Cultivars had similar proximate analyses. Skin higher in protein, fiber, ash lower NFE than whole SP. Healthy diabetic volunteers (20 each) were fed 50 g of carbohydrate Glucose, Star, Skin, Beauregard, on alternate mornings. Rise blood glucose (BG) 0–1 h significantly greater for SP all subjects.
