Consumption of avocado (Persea americana Mill.) has increased worldwide in recent years. The pulp is used, but the peel and seed are discarded as waste. Studies have shown that seeds rich phytochemicals can be utilized food systems. objective this study was to evaluate potential Hass a source polyphenols processing model beverages baked products with functional properties. proximate analysis powder carried out. shelf life phenols (ASP) stored dark, amber-colored bottle transparent studied...
As at 2020, Kenya was the best performing camel milk producer globally, with an annual production of 1.125 million tonnes. Despite high production, about 50% is wasted due to challenges affecting value addition products such as yoghurt. The yoghurt faces multiple challenges, poor texture and weak structure, resulting in consumer acceptability. This study aimed improve physicochemical properties by adding different stabilising agents calcium chloride. Yoghurt samples were processed using 3 L...
Glycemic index (GI) measures postprandial blood sugar after consumption of carbohydrate-rich foodstuff. Kenya is yet to fully embrace this concept in prevention and management diabetes mellitus.To review tabulate GIs locally consumed foods order improve dietary mellitus.A literature search was conducted using Google scholar PubMed databases which identified 7 articles on glycemic values Kenyan published between 2002 2020. Two failed meet the inclusion criteria five proceeded for review. Key...
Background. The prevalence of diabetes mellitus is increasing worldwide. Knowledge glycemic index (GI) important in its prevention and management. GI measures how rapidly or slowly the blood glucose increases after food consumption. Stiff porridge (ugali) an African cuisine that can be prepared from various cereal grains consumed alongside a relish, including milk. impact grain type milk on ugali not understood. Objectives. To determine maize, millet, sorghum establish fermented GI. Methods....

Diabetes mellitus is rapidly increasing in Kenya.The prevalence varies among tribes and risk factors are not well understood.This study investigated the of diabetes association with demography, socio-economy nutritional status for women Amagoro, Western Kenya.This was a descriptive cross-sectional involving 260 aged 15-90 years.Households were chosen by cluster stratified sampling.Data on collected interviews using pre-tested questionnaires.Random blood sugar measured glucometer levels ≥7.8...
Objective: 1.To determine the proximate composition of millet, maize and sorghum stiff porridges 2. To examine impact fermented milk (mala) on glycemic response maize, millet ugali. Problem Statement: The prevalence diabetes mellitus has been increasing over years. Glycemic control is important in management T2DM. Whole flour porridge advised for diabetic patients despite their medium to high response. Dairy products have an inverse relationship with development T2DM, but whether it lowers...
Background : The glycemic index (GI) measures how fast or slow the blood sugar rises after consumption of a food rich in carbohydrates. prevalence diabetes Kenya is about 3% adults. Among regimens type 2 mellitus (T2DM) control using diet, although only few diabetic persons (7%) practice it due to limited data on GI local foods such as stiff porridge (ugali) which among chief staple Kenya. This study determined proximate composition, energy and values ugali from blends cassava-millet,...
