Background: Legumes contain elevated levels of health functional components. The objective of the present paper was to evaluate the nutritional properties and the post-prandial glycaemic responses of pasta obtained using 35% Vicia Faba (VF) bean flour, which is an important source of fiber and phytochemical compounds. Results: Protein and fiber content were higher in VF pasta compared with durum wheat semolina (DWS) pasta. The total antioxidant activity against peroxyl radicals evaluated by oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) assay was also observed in VF pasta. The comparison of post-prandial increase of glucose after VF intake or DWS demonstrated significant differences and VF pasta exhibited a lower glycemic index value, a lower glycemic load and higher glycemic profile compared with DWS pasta.Conclusion: The results suggest that enrichment with 35% Vicia faba bean has potential health benefits and that VF flour can be used as an ingredient to prepare added-value products. Keywords: Glycemic Index; Glycemic load; Glycemic Profile; polyphenols, flavonoids; diabetes

Vicia faba L. (faba bean) (Fabaceae) is cultivated worldwide as a crop for human consumption. In this study, beans and pods were investigated for their phytochemical content and their potential nutraceutical properties as a strategy to counteract metabolic syndrome (MetS). Pods represent a faba bean industrial processing by-product. Pod ethanol extract showed the highest total phenol and flavonoid content. High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) analysis revealed that in both pods and bean, (+)-catechin and (−)-epicatechin were the two most abundant compounds. 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), 2,2′-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic) acid (ABTS), Ferric Reducing Antioxidant Power (FRAP), β-carotene bleaching were used to test V. faba antioxidant activity. The inhibition of alpha-amylase, alpha-glucosidase, and lipase was studied. Pod extract showed an ABTS radical scavenging ability (IC50 value of 1.5 mg/mL) comparable to ascorbic acid (IC50 value of 1.7 mg/mL) used as a positive control, whereas bean extract was the most active in protecting lipid peroxidation. A promising alpha-glucosidase inhibitory activity was also observed with the edible portion of faba beans (IC50 value of 38.31 mg/mL). Collectively, our results demonstrated the potential health properties of V. faba edible and inedible portions.

Upaya pengendalian diabetes mellitus tipe-2 dapat dikontrol melalui pola makan, salah satunya yaitu dengan modifikasi jenis makanan yang selain memenuhi kebutuhan gizi juga dapat mengendalikan kadar glukosa darah. Pisang kepok dan kacang hijau memiliki kandungan pati resisten, serat pangan, protein yang cukup tinggi, dan indeks glikemik rendah sehingga dapat digunakan sebagai alternatif bahan pembuatan cookies untuk penderita diabetes mellitus tipe-2. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis kandungan gizi, pati resisten, indeks glikemik, beban glikemik dan daya terima cookies tepung pisang kepok termodifikasi enzimatis dan tepung kacang hijau. Penelitian ini menggunakan rancangan acak lengkap satu faktor dengan perbandingan variasi pisang kepok termodifikasi dan tepung kacang hijau masing-masing dengan persentase sebesar 85:15; 75:25; dan 65:35. Kandungan gizi dianalisis dengan metode uji proksimat. Analisis indeks glikemik dan daya terimanya juga dilakukan pada penelitian ini. Formula terbaik dianalisis dengan metode de Garmo. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa formulasi terbaik didapat dari cookies dengan formulasi 85% tepung pisang kepok termodifikasi enzimatis dan 15% tepung kacang hijau dengan nilai hasil tertinggi sebesar 0,599 dengan kandungan karbohidrat 45,72%, protein 5,62%, lemak 18,53%, air 11,22%, abu 3,70% , serat pangan 15,18%, pati resisten 13,67%, indeks glikemik 33,20 dan beban glikemik 4,19. Kesimpulan yang didapat dari penelitian ini adalah kandungan zat gizi cookies tepung pisang kepok termodifikasi enzimatis dan tepung kacang hijau dapat ditentukan dengan baik dengan menemukan formula terbaiknya, yaitu 85%:15%. Analysis of Nutrients Content, Resistant Starch, Glycemic Index, Glycemic Load and Acceptability of Modified Kepok Flour (Musa paradisiaca) and Mung Bean Flour (Vigna radiata) Cookies Type 2 diabetes mellitus can be controlled through diet, one of which is by modifying the type of food that helps fulfilling nutrient-needs and control blood’s glucose levels. Kepok banana and mung bean contain high resistant starch, dietary fiber, protein, and low glycemic index so it can be used as an alternative ingredient in making cookies for people with type 2 diabetes mellitus. This study aimed to analyze the nutrients content, resistant strach, glycemic index, glycemic load and acceptability of cookies from enzymatically modified kepok banana flour and mung bean flour. The completely randomized one-factor experimental study with ratio of modified kepok banana : mung bean flour i.e. 85:15; 75:25; and 65:35. Nutrient content was analyzed by proximate methods. The glycemic index and glycemic load were also analyzed as well as acceptability test. The best formula was determined by the de Garmo method. As results, the quality of nutrient content, resistant starch, glycemic index, glycemic load and acceptance, were achieved with formula of 85% modified kepok flour and 15% mung bean flour resulting high yield value of 0.599. the best cookies formula contained carbohydrate of 45.72%, protein of 5.62%, fat of 18.53%, water of 11.22%, ash of 3.70%, fiber of 15.18%, resistant starch of 13.67%, glycemic index of 33.20, and glycemic load of 4.19. As conclusion, all treatment was successfully revealed and generated the best formula or 85%:15% for the ratio of modified kapok flour and mung been flour.

Background: Despite efforts to control hyperglycemia, diabetes management is still challenging. This may be due to focusing on reducing hyperglycemia and neglecting the importance of hyperinsulinemia; while insulin resistance and resultant hyperinsulinemia preceded diabetes onset and may contribute to disease pathogenesis. Objective: The present narrative review attempts to provide a new insight into the management of diabetes by exploring different aspects of glycemic index and dietary insulin index. Results: The current data available on this topic is limited and heterogeneous. Conventional diet therapy for diabetes management is based on reducing postprandial glycemia through carbohydrate counting, choosing foods with low-glycemic index and low-glycemic load. Since these indicators are only reliant on the carbohydrate content of foods and do not consider the effects of protein and fat on the stimulation of insulin secretion, they cannot provide a comprehensive approach to determine the insulin requirements. Conclusion: Selecting foods based on carbohydrate counting, glycemic index or glycemic load are common guides to control glycemia in diabetic patients, but neglect the insulin response, thus leading to failure in diabetes management. Therefore, paying attention to insulinemic response along with glycemic response seems to be more effective in managing diabetes.
