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 ...

Infused Tiger Nut and Almond Nut Crunchy Snacks Enhanced the Nutritional Value and Antioxidant Activity in High‐Fat Diet Fed Rat

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
Crunches were produced from formulations of almond nuts and tiger nuts (AN–TN) for the plausible management of commodity disease of obese condition. The produced AN–TN crunches showed high consumers acceptability, phenolic, and amylopectin contents. In addition, formulated percentages of AN–TN crunches when fed to high‐fat diet (HFD) fed rats led to ...

Effect of Acacia nilotica Gum on the Physicochemical and Sensory Characteristics of Sterilised Flavoured Milk

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
Acacia nilotica gum fortification improved the physicochemical and sensory characteristics of sterilised flavoured milk. A. nilotica gum significantly increased the dietary fibre content of sterilised flavoured milk (1.9 g per 100 g). ABSTRACT Flavoured milks are widely preferred by people of all age groups globally. There is also a significant rise in

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.
