“…Furthermore, the metabolic adaptations occurring in seeds during this time, resulting in foods with improved protein quality and other nutritional parameters, sets up the potential for germinated seeds to be used as functional foods. For example, the consumption of pre-germinated cooked brown rice (100 g/day as a replacement for white rice) by 85 patients with type two diabetes was found to reduce fasting blood glucose levels, glycated hemoglobin, and triglyceride levels, while increasing high-density lipoprotein levels and improving the fatty acid profile towards a higher n3:n6 ratio [ 8 ]. Similarly, Bui et al [ 9 ] reported that 60 women (45–65 years) with impaired glucose tolerance consuming pre-germinated cooked brown rice instead of white rice for four months showed improved blood glucose levels, body mass index, and blood pressure.…”

Plant-based foods are being increasingly favored to feed the ever-growing population, but these need to exhibit improved nutritional value in terms of protein quality and digestibility to be considered a useful alternative to animal-based foods. Germination is essential for plant growth and represents a viable method through which the protein quality of plants can be further improved. However, it will be a challenge to maintain efficient rates of germination in a changing climate when seeds are sown. In the context of the indoor germination of seeds for food, consumption, or processing purposes, a more efficient and sustainable process is desired. Therefore, novel techniques to facilitate seed germination are required. Pulsed electric fields (PEF) treatment of seeds results in the permeabilization of the cell membrane, allowing water to be taken up more quickly and triggering biochemical changes to the macromolecules in the seed during germination. Therefore, PEF could be a chemical-free approach to induce a stress response in seeds, leading to the production of secondary metabolites known to exert beneficial effects on human health. However, this application of PEF, though promising, requires further research to optimize its impact on the protein and bioactive compounds in germinating seeds.

Cereals are known for their outstanding source of macro‐ and micro‐nutrients and phytochemicals. However, their interactions within the food matrices result in complexes that interfere with bioavailability, bio‐accessibility, and its metabolism in the human system. Germination has been reported to interfere with these interactions in the food matrices and enhance the accessibility and digestibility of nutrients. The germinated rice in the management of the diabetes is a novel concept as it modulates the glycemic index of the product and also enhances the bio‐accessibility of phytochemicals. Type‐2 diabetes has shown an alarming increase in recent past, which is chiefly due to dietary habits and sedentary life style. Even though, medical science is developing new therapeutical measures, preventing the risk of disease through dietary modulations may be more preferred. Germination also improves the texture, cooking, and eating quality of rice making it more tastier. During germination, the starchphytochemical interactions, delayed digestibility and physiological performances and glycemic control, can pave way to diabetes management in such cases. In view of these, the current review focuses on the starch and its interactions with phytochemicals, the bioavailability and bioaccessibility of these components, and their impact on reduced glycemic index.
