Antioxidant Activity, Carbohydrate‐Hydrolysing Enzyme Inhibition, Antihyperglycaemic Effect and Associated Expression Changes of Bryophyllum pinnatum‐Fortified Wheat‐Plantain Snack in Streptozotocin‐Induced Diabetic Rats

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
The developed wheat‐plantain‐based snack with Bryophyllum pinnatum had enhanced antioxidant properties, with high α‐amylase and α‐glucosidase enzyme inhibitory activities. When fed to STZ‐induced diabetic rats, it showed antidiabetic, hypo‐lipidaemic and anti‐inflammatory potentials, thus making it a fresh opportunity for the snacking community who are

Functional diabetic biscuits enriched with cereal fibers, black plum (jamun) and bioactive spices

Food Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.
Cereal fibres, black plum (jamun) seed powder and bioactive spices can be combined with controlled mixing, hydration and baking to design functional biscuits. Fibre‐rich structures may limit starch accessibility, while polyphenols may inhibit starch‐digesting enzymes.
