Traditional home remedy consumption is a typical ancient practice in India. These traditional remedies are found to have beneficial effects on many chronic conditions. This study was designed explore the effect of glycemic control people with type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM). In this study, 148 type-2 DM patients aged between 35 and 70 both genders, participated. Among patients, 102 T2DM use along...

The biosynthesis of cell wall polymers involves enormous fluxes through central metabolism that are not fully delineated and whose regulation is poorly understood. We have established and validated a liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry method using multiple reaction monitoring mode to separate and quantify the levels of plant cell wall precursors. Target analytes were identified by t...

The present research investigated the enrichment of fenugreek (Trigonella foenum graceum) seed substrate with phenolic antioxidants and L-DOPA via fungal-based solid-state bioconversion (SSB) system. This approach using food grade fungus Rhizopus oligosporus, was chosen because it has been demonstrated to be effective in other seed and food substrates for improving health-relevant functionality...

Trigonella foenum-graecum (Fenugreek) is among the earliest plants used as spices and medicine worldwide. This study determined antioxidant activities of fermented seeds T. by methods, ABTS 2,2'-azinobis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonicacid) DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl). The phytochemical compounds, pH, in vitro agar well (antimicrobial) assay sample was tested at three concentrations...

Fenugreek seeds (raw, soaked and germinated) were analyzed for their chemical composition. Raw fenugreek seeds contained higher amount of dietary jiber 46.50% followed by 42.12% in soaked seeds and 32.50% in germinated seeds. Soaking reduced the level of total soluble sugars, reducing sugars, nonreducing sugars, dietary fiber and improved the protein and starch digestibility and availability of...

Members of the Zingiberaceae such as turmeric (Curcuma longa L.) and ginger (Zingiber officinale Rosc.) and fenugreek accumulate at high levels in their rhizomes important pharmacologically active metabolites that appear to be derived from the phenylpropanoid pathway. The major constituens of these spices are in ginger, the gingerols, in turmeric these are the curcuminoids and in fenugreek 5, 7...
