Evaluation of Nutrient, Mineral Analysis and Quality Characterization of Gymnema sylvestre Multi Grain Cookies for Diabetes

Diabetes is a group of metabolic disorders with various etiologies that are defined by persistent hyperglycemia and worsening carbohydrate, lipid, and protein digestion due to flaws in insulin discharge and insulin activity. Indians account for one out of every five diabetics of the world. Around 35 million Indians suffer from diabetes, which affects around 150 million individuals worldwide. Because health is a major concern in people’s daily lives, foods that are healthy and beneficial to health are becoming increasingly popular. Natural food variations are widely used for the prevention and treatment of a variety of healthy issues. Supplements such as protein, iron, and calcium can be found in plenty of treats. The goal of this study was to develop solid treats using Gymnema sylvestre leaf powder, an Ayurvedic component with increased nutraceutical value. Multigrain powder, heating powder, palm sugar, cardamom powder, Margarine, salt, bubbling blend, and G.sylvestre leaf powder were among the ingredients used to make the solid snacks. The powder was created by drying the leaves in a plate dryer at 50°C for 2 hours before crushing in a home processor. G.sylvestre leaf powder was fused at different percentages: 0.25 percent, 0.50 percent, 0.75 percent, and 1.00 percent. Supplement testing, mineral analysis, and tactile testing are not set in stone. Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy was used to determine mineral composition. Over a variety of examples, test 0.50 percent sound snacks were found to be organoleptically superior.

Effect of organic substrate type in electricity production from microbial fuel cell (MFC) inoculated by Staphylococcus saprophyticus ICBB 9554

Microbial Fuel Cells (MFCs) are bioelectrochemical devices that can directly transform the chemical energy from organic matter into electrical energy using microbial metabolic activity, so microbes play an essential role. This study explores some organic substrate alternative cost-effective for Staphylococcus saprophyticus ICBB 9554 as an exoelectrogen for electricity production in MFCs. The organic substrates that were chosen were sugar, molasses, and palm sugar. The best performance in electricity production was in molasses which showed output voltage, electrical current, and power density of 789 mV, 0.48 mA, and 68 mW/m2, respectively. The COD removal, Coulombic efficiency, and bacterial density in molasses also the highest that was about 68.18 ± 0.00%, 45.80 ± 2.17%, and 1.09×108 cfu/ml, respectively. Molasses is a potentially cost-effective alternative organic substrate for MFCs inoculated by Staphylococcus saprophyticus ICBB 9554.

Acute Effect of Riceberry Waffle Intake on Postprandial Glycemic Response in Healthy Subjects

Gluten-free products have been developed due to increasing consumer demand. The improvement of the sensory quality and nutritional value of these products may support functional food development and provide health benefits. The purpose of this study was to develop a gluten-free waffle formulation with Riceberry rice flour by replacing the sucrose with maltitol and palm sugar powder. Evaluations of the sensory acceptability of these products and the blood glucose levels of healthy volunteers after consuming Riceberry and wheat flour waffles were carried out. The glycemic responses of the volunteers to the Riceberry and wheat flour waffles at 0, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, 120, 150, and 180 min were monitored. In addition, the glycemic index of the products was calculated. The finding revealed that replacing sugar with 50% (w/w of total sugar) palm sugar powder and 50% maltitol was the most acceptable formulation that received the highest acceptability scores in terms of overall acceptability and texture. The blood glucose levels of both Riceberry waffle and wheat flour were not significantly different. The glycemic index of Riceberry waffle and wheat flour waffle were 94.73 ± 7.60 and 91.96 ± 6.93, respectively. Therefore, Riceberry waffle could be used as an alternative gluten-free product for celiac patients, but not for diabetic patients.
