“…ß-glucans from the endosperm cell walls of wheat, barley, and oat lower the risk of coronary heart disease, colorectal cancer, and obesity by lowering blood cholesterol. [20,50,143,149,150] Increased total and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels are considered as major risk factors for cardiovascular disease. β-glucans have ability to lower the total blood cholesterol, LDL cholesterol and to improve the high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and blood lipid profile as well as to maintain body weight.…”

Cereals have captured global importance owing to the presence of bioactive moieties in cell wall. Numerous components have been considered but non-starch polysaccharides (NSP) of cereals cell wall are of prime concern. In this comprehensive review, the basic aim is to elaborate the functional and nutritional importance of cereals cell wall with special reference to NSP. Among bioactive components of cell wall, NSP, such as arabinoxylans, ßglucans, and arabinogalactans of wheat and barley, have gained much importance. Moreover, literature revealed that NSP have greater role as prebiotic, immunomodulator, antioxidant, anti-diabetic, and cardio-protector as well as major food applications.

“…The soluble fiber slows the glucose contact with the intestinal absorptive area, thereby reducing its absorption. Moreover, the fibers may increase peripheral insulin sensitivity (Aleixandre & Miguel, 2016;Stewart & Zimmer, 2018). Furthermore, the RPBP group showed high acetate concentration in feces.…”

Staple food crops from Brazilian Biofortification Program have high protein quality and hypoglycemic action in Wistar rats

Biofortified staple food crops have become an effective tool by which to address micronutrient deficiencies in many at-risk populations. The effect of these food crops on the micronutrient status has been evaluated, however there is no studies investigating their protein quality, neither by themselves or in a food combination. Thus, this study investigated the effect of combinations of beans and rice, target for biofortification, with high carotenoids content crops (sweet potato and pumpkin) on protein quality, intestinal function and glycemia. Eight groups were evaluated (n=6): 1) rice + Caupi bean (RCB); 2) rice + Pontal bean (RPB); 3) rice + Caupi bean + pumpkin (RCBP); 4) rice + Pontal bean + pumpkin (RPBP); 5) rice + Caupi bean + sweet potato (RCBS); 6) rice + Pontal bean + sweet potato (RPBS); 7) casein (positive control); and 8) nitrogen free (negative control). Tested groups showed high protein quality, and groups containing Caupi bean showed higher true digestibility. Groups containing Pontal bean had a greater reduction of blood glucose compared to casein. Tested groups showed higher fecal excretion of lipids. Combination of food target for biofortification showed high protein quality, and the combinations containing Pontal beans showed hypoglycemic effect.Practical Application: The Biofortification program not only provide an additional amount of micronutrient but also contribute to the protein intake of the risk population and potentially improve the glycemic status and intestinal function. Thus, the utilization of these foods may have a positive impact on the nutritional status and health of population at risk for micronutrient deficiency. Dias et al.

“…In a similar study [30] conducted among Jordanian nurses, the majority also recommended an increased intake of fiber to hypertension patients. The beneficial role of dietary fiber in the prevention and reduction of arterial blood pressure is well presented in literature [31,32].…”

Background. Although nutrition education for the prevention and management of hypertension is the responsibility of registered dieticians and nutritionist, nurses also play this role particularly because there are few registered dieticians. This study was conducted to assess final-year nursing students' level of knowledge regarding the nutritional prevention and management of hypertension. Methods. A cross-sectional study was conducted to assess their knowledge regarding the dietary management of hypertension. A total of 220 students completed a 21-item nutritional prevention and management of hypertension knowledge test. Results. Students' knowledge about potential modifiable risk factors of hypertension such as excessive salt and alcohol intake was good. Less than half (44.5%) indicated that they will recommend an increased intake of potassium food sources to hypertensive patients. However, 70.5% incorrectly indicated that they will advise hypertensive patients to always read nutritional information on food items in order to avoid excessive intake of potassium in their diet. Conclusion. The results of this study indicate that there are some deficits in nursing students' nutritional knowledge for managing hypertension. The findings suggest an urgent need to revise the nursing training curriculum in order to include practical information that can be applied by nursing students, after graduation.
