The possibility that high, long-term intake of carbohydrates that are rapidly absorbed as glucose may increase the risk of type 2 diabetes has been a long-standing controversy. Two main mechanisms have been hypothesized, one mediated by increases in insulin resistance and the other by pancreatic exhaustion as a result of the increased demand for insulin. During the past decade, several lines of...

The concentrations of free neutral carbohydrates and amino sugars were determined in freshwater samples of distinct matrix complexity, including meso-, euand dystrophic lakes and ponds, using high-performance ion-exclusion chromatography (HPIEC) coupled to mass spectrometry (MS). In contrast to other methods, our approach allowed the quantification of free neutral carbohydrates and amino sugars...

Grasses with the C3 photosynthetic pathway are commonly considered to be more nutritious host plants than C4 grasses, but the nutritional quality of C3 grasses is also more greatly impacted by elevated atmospheric CO2 than is that of C4 grasses; C3 grasses produce greater amounts of nonstructural carbohydrates and have greater declines in their nitrogen content than do C4 grasses under elevated...

The appropriate use of avocado seed waste after industrial processing could reduce the problem overconsumption and food in accordance with “zero waste” concept. presented study evaluates physicochemical bioactive properties its possible functional design, for example, cereal snacks form cookies. profile polyphenol lutein content was determined by chromatographic methodology, phenolic compounds ...

Abstract Bananas are widely popular as a key member of the Musaceae family and also considered rich source several nutrients, especially bioactive compounds. Besides, bananas extensively grown in tropical subtropical regions easily available for various use cases, that is, food industry health benefits. Other than banana, its by‐products such peel, pseudo‐stems, leaves, blossoms example, carboh...

The gut microbiota has a significant role in human health and is affected by many factors. Diet dietary components have profound impacts on the composition of microbiome largely contribute to change bacterial flora. A high-fiber diet increased fiber (DF) fermentation production short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), which number microorganisms. Microbiota-accessible carbohydrates (MACs), subgroup fer...

The traditional cultivation and limited use of bambara groundnut (Vigna subterranea) seed coat have encouraged the development this commodity. aim research was to characterize from Jampang, Kab. Sukabumi, West Java. Analysis on including proximate analysis, in vitro protein digestibility, starch content, dietary fiber, as well analysis its anthocyanin, total phenolic, antioxidant activity, phyt...

The apple by-product is the remaining solid obtained after fruit processing, mainly constituted by insoluble dietary fiber. However, soluble fiber would be more desirable due to its positive health effects. simultaneous application of high hydrostatic pressure (HHP), namely at 200, 400, and 600 MPa, for 15 30 min holding time, commercial enzyme Celluclast® (92 EGU) allowed a molecular weight ca...

BACKGROUND Dietary fiber is a broad category of compounds historically defined as partially or completely indigestible plant-based carbohydrates and lignin with, more recently, the additional criteria that fibers incorporated into foods as additives should demonstrate functional human health outcomes to receive a fiber classification. Thousands of research studies have been published examining ...
