Antioxidant Activity and Inhibition of Carbohydrate Hydrolyzing Enzymes by Underutilized Parts From Some Plant‐Based Foods and Their Effect on Postprandial Hyperglycemia

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
The underutilized parts viz: pawpaw seed, banana, plantain, and potato peels showed promising antioxidant and inhibition of α‐amylase and α‐glucosidase activities (IC50 values ≤ 100 μg/mL). Similarly, pawpaw seed, banana, plantain, and potato peels reduced postprandial hyperglycemia in sucrose‐ and maltose‐induced hyperglycemia in rats.

Nutritional Potential, Phytochemical Content, In Vivo Antioxidant, and Antanemic Potential of Musa paradisiaca Flower

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
After collecting Musa paradisiaca leaves, some were dried and others were used to produce aqueous extracts. The extracts and powders were characterized and then administered to rats made anaemic by PHZ. After 14 days of administration of the two samples, the rats were euthanized and it was observed that after 9 days of treatment, the aqueous extract ...

Fermentation‐Induced Modulation of Polyphenolic Contents and Medicinal Activities in Annona squamosa Seeds

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
The study compared the medicinal activities of polyphenols from fermented and unfermented seeds of Annona squamosa. The polyphenols were extracted and subjected to standard analysis. The major phenolic components of the fermented polyphenols and the unfermented polyphenols were found to be 4‐hydroxybenzoic and 4‐hydroxyphenylacetic acid, respectively ...

Edible Antifungal Coatings Based on Litchi Chinensis Seed Starch Enriched With Pericarp Procyanidins for the Postharvest Preservation of Strawberries

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
Lychee starch coatings enriched with procyanidins showed strong antifungal activity and effectively preserved strawberry quality postharvest, reducing weight loss, decay, and senescence. This highlights their potential as a sustainable natural alternative for shelf‐life extension and fungal control in fresh produce.

Functional Bread From Bambara Groundnut and Orange Peel Attenuates Hyperglycemia and Oxidative Stress in a High‐Fat Diet/Streptozotocin‐Induced Type 2 Diabetes Rat Model

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
This study evaluated Bambara groundnut–wheat composite bread fortified with orange peel in diabetic rats. Diets significantly lowered blood glucose, inhibited α‐glucosidase and α‐amylase, and boosted antioxidant enzymes compared to controls. Results emphasize BG‐based functional foods' potential to help manage type 2 diabetes through regulation of ...

Chemical Composition, Amino Acids, Phenolic Profiles and Bioavailability of Minerals in Livingstone Potato (Plectranthus esculentus) as Affected by Different Processing Techniques

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
Boiling retained the nutrients and polyphenol compounds in Plectranthus esculentus tubers better than frying or roasting. A bioavailability study showed that the phytates and oxalates in the tuber may not affect the bioavailabilities of calcium, zinc, or iron in Plectranthus esculentus tubers when eaten.

Nutraceutical Evaluation of Biscuits Formulated From Acha, Chia, and Soycake Flours on Glycemic Control, Lipid Profile, and Histopathological Effects in High‐Fat Diet/Streptozotocin‐Induced Type 2 Diabetic Rats

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
Acha–chia–soycake biscuits improved glucose tolerance, lipid profile, insulin levels, and pancreatic integrity in HFD–STZ diabetic rats. ACSB1 and ACSB13 outperformed acarbose, showing potent antihyperglycemic, hypolipidemic, and pancreatic‐protective effects.
