Nigella sativa is one of the nutraceuticals that has gained popularity and studied extensively in recent decades as it considered a safe medicinal plant for use dietary supplement. N. contains wide variety bioactive substances, which include polyphenols, volatile oils (thymoquinone p-cymene), proteins, peptides. The biological attributes antioxidant, antimicrobial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, antidiabetic, antihypertensive, hypolipidemic, antioxidant activities, have potential...
Psyllium husk (Plantago ovata Forssk.), is an excellent source of natural soluble fiber. Arabic flatbread formulation standardized in a laboratory was scaled up for production commercial bakery. The water holding capacity (WHC) wholegrain wheat flour (WGF), white (WWF) and psyllium (PS) were found to be 2.9, 2.3 59.2 g water/g dry matter, respectively. total dietary fiber (TDF) WWF control bread (3.20 ± 0.23%) increased significantly 5.62 0.16 7.56 0.18% with the addition 3% 5% psyllium,...
Antibodies to delta antigen have been found among all populations in the world studied so far. The prevalence is high (40%-47%) chronic HBsAg carriers southern Italy. In other parts of world, low (less than 5%); however, 30%-75% polytransfused hemophiliacs and drug addicts Europe United States antibodies [2]. Most Arab nationalities are well represented population Kuwait. Among 144 HBsAg-positive sera studied, 58 (40%) were positive for antigen. Data regarding diagnosis, age, sex,...
Wheat grain is a rich source of phosphorus which present mostly as phytic acid and distributed mainly in the bran germ fractions. Phytic has now been recognized an important phytochemical having antioxidant properties. This study deals with determination total well contents psyllium (PS), course (CB) fine wheat (FB) enriched pan bread Arabic flat bread. The concentration CB, FB, germ, wholegrain flour (WGF), white (WWF), were found to be 8.86 mg/g, 8.52 6.05 1.74 0.46 mg/g 0.02 respectively....
This study was carried out to investigate the biological properties of bioactive peptides derived from digestive enzymatic hydrolysis for nanoscaled protein particles camel whey proteins. The hydrolysates were tested aromatic content, antioxidant activity, α‐amylase inhibitory and angiotensin‐converting enzyme (ACE) activities. sonicated showed sizes less than 100 nm distributed in a 75% volume with relatively stable −23.1 mV zeta potential value. Sonication enhanced total ring content...
The objective of this research work was to produce acceptable quality functional foods, namely, extruded snacks, digestive biscuits and pan bread, on a pilot scale, using vitamin E β-carotene-rich red palm olein (RPOL) shortening (RPS). These products were evaluated for their chemical composition sensory along with the antioxidants contents during six months storage at room temperature (22 ± 1 °C). Extruded snacks prepared RPOL RPS found be good sources these antioxidant vitamins. average...
