“…There are nine possible isomers of myo -inositol. Five of them naturally occur like myo -, scyllo -, muco -, and neo - and D- chiro -inositol, while other four isomers (L- chiro , allo -, epi -, and cis -inositol) are derived from myo -inositol and obtained by chemical synthesis [1,5]. However, the number of possible inositol phosphates of those nine isomers (excluding pyrophosphates) is 357 [6].…”

Introduction: Myo-inositol and its derivatives cyclitols play an important role in the processes of cell regulation, signal transduction, osmoregulation, and ion channel physiology, and are a component of the cell membrane. Free cyclitols present in food or released during the degradation of galactosyl cyclitols by bacteria (in digestive tract) show some physiological benefits. Aim: The aim of this paper is to present and analyze the documented data about curative and healing properties of cyclitols. Results and discussion: Cyclitols are well known compounds in the treatment of an accompanied diabetes insulin resistance, and also obesity and polycystic ovarian syndrome. d-chiro-Inositol deficiency exacerbates insulin resistance in the liver, muscles, and fat, while depletion of myo-inositol results in the development of diabetic complications. Cyclitols are successfully applied in treatment of polycystic ovarian syndrome, simultaneous are observed effective reducing of BMI, improving the hormonal profile, and increasing fertility. Moreover, cyclitols have anti-atherogenic, anti-oxidative, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancer properties. Conclusion: The properties of cyclitols may be a good therapeutic option in the reduction of metabolically induced inflammation. Due to well drugs tolerance and low toxicity of these compounds, cyclitols are recommend for pregnant women and also for children. Another advantage is their widespread presence and easy availability, which encourages their use in medicine.

“…They are myo‐inositol, chiro‐inositol ( d ‐pinitol), scyllo‐inositol, muco‐inositol, and neo‐inositol. Of these, myo‐inositol is the precursor of the other 4 isomers (Campbell and others ). Inositols have been found in various types of plants.…”

“…The assessment of the antioxidant potency of carob pod extracts by using 2 in vitro models showed that carob contains polyphenols with appreciable antiradical and reducing properties, and the values obtained were comparable to those for red wines and pure polyphenolic antioxidants (Makris and Kefalas ). Along with polyphenols, inositols also contribute to the antioxidant potential of carob kibble in maintaining good health (Campbell and others ).…”

Carob (Ceratonia siliqua L.) is well known for its valuable locust bean gum obtained from the carob seeds. Separation of seeds from the pod leaves behind the carob kibble which is a good source of dietary fiber, sugars, and a range of bioactive compounds such as polyphenols and pinitol. Bioactive compounds present in carob kibble have been found to be beneficial in the control of many health problems such as diabetes, heart diseases, and colon cancer due to their antidiabetic, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory activities. Carob kibble has substantial potential to be used as a food ingredient. This article focuses on the composition, health benefits, and food applications of carob kibble.
