In this study, cross-linked pearl millet starch and fenugreek oil was used to develop active starch edible films to overcome the limitations of native starch and to substitute artificial preservatives with natural one. The starch was cross-linked at three levels (1%, 3% and 5%) using sodium trimetaphosphate (STMP), and physicochemical properties were studied. Moreover, a comparative study was conducted among four samples of films prepared using native starch, cross-linked starch, and native and cross-linked starch loaded with fenugreek oil for physical, thermal, mechanical, morphological, and antibacterial properties. The solubility, swelling, and amylose content of native and modified starch varied from 11.25–12.75%, 12.91–15.10 g/g, and 8.97–16.55%, respectively. The values of these parameters were reduced as the concentration of STMP increased. Cross-linked starch films showed lower moisture, solubility, water vapor permeability(WVP), and elongation at break (EB) values while having higher thickness, opacity, thermal, and tensile strength values. The microscopic images of cross-linked starch films showed smooth surfaces and the absence of ridges, pores, and cracks. The films loaded with fenugreek oil showed different results; the moisture content, water solubility, and tensile strength were decreased while thickness, opacity, WVP, and EB were increased. The onset temperature and peak temperature were lower, while enthalpy of gelatinization was increased to a greater extent than films without oil. The addition of fenugreek oil to films showed a good inhibition area of 40.22% for native+oil films and 41.53% for cross-linked+oil films % against Escherichia coli. This study confirmed the successful utilization of fenugreek oil as a very effective antimicrobial agent in preparing edible films.

“…The emerging source of diosgenin in fenugreek ( Trigonella foenum graecum L.) which belongs to Leguminosae and serve as an annual medicinal plant for ages (Irankhah et al, 2021). Fenugreek seeds are enriched with alkaloids, proteins, mucilage (Wani & Kumar, 2016), oil (Munshi et al, 2020), and control hyperglycemia in diabetic patients (Ruwali et al, 2022). The medicinal properties of fenugreek are majorly linked to its various bioactive compounds such as diosgenin, yamogenin, apigenin (Arya & Kumar, 2022), and 4‐hydroxyleucine (Kiss et al, 2019).…”

The consumption and composition of food in daily life predict our health in long run. The relation of diabetes to sweets is quite popular. Diabetes hampers the glucose and insulin regulation in the human body by damaging pancreatic β cells. Diabetes has a strong potential towards altering cellular mechanisms of organs causing unlawful performance. Diabetes alters pathways like TLR4, AChE, NF‐ĸB, LPL, and PPAR at different sites that affect the normal cellular machinery and cause damage to the local tissue and organ. The long‐lasting effect of diabetes was observed in vascular, cardia, nervous, skeletal, reproductive, hepatic, ocular, and renal systems. The increasing awareness of diabetes and its concern has awakened the common people more enthusiastically. Due to rising harm from diabetes, scientific researchers tend to have more eyes toward it. While searching for diabetes solutions, fenugreek diosgenin could pop up with some positive effects in curing the same. Diosgenin helps to lower the scathe of diabetes by modifying cellular pathways in favor of healthy bodily functions. Diosgenin altered the pathways for renewal of pancreatic β cells for better insulin secretion, initiate GLUT4, enhanced DHEA, modify ER‐α‐mediated PI3K/Akt pathways. Diosgenin can be an appropriate insult for diabetes in a much evolving way for a healthy lifestyle. Practical applications Diabetes is one of the most death causing diseases in the medical world. Regrettably the cure of diabetes is yet to be found. Various scientific team working on the same to look after the most appropriate way for diabetes treatment. There is enormous growth of nutraceutical in the market claiming for cure of different metabolic disorders. Among various bioactive compound fenugreek's diosgenin could took a leap over other in curing and preventing the damage caused by diabetes to different organs. The role of diosgenin in curing various metabolic disorders is quite popular from some time. This article also emphasizes over beneficiary effect of diosgenin in curing the damages caused by diabetes by altering cellular metabolism processes. Hence diosgenin could be a better way for researchers to develop a method for diabetes treatment.

“…While linoleic acid is a better source for human health for anti‐cancer agent (Iqbal et al., 2017; Tao et al., 2012), it is commonly known as an omega‐6 fatty acid. Fenugreek seed oil extracted using hexane can be considered as an edible oil because of the high amount of polyunsaturated fatty acids for health benefits and could be a better source for the food industries (Munshi et al., 2020). But, due to the bitter taste of fenugreek seed oil, it becomes inedible.…”

This work aims to encapsulate the fenugreek seed oil (FGSO) to musk the bitter taste as it has various health benefits using maltodextrin and fenugreek mucilage as the wall materials by spray drying. The highest powder yield was 68.23% at 1.5% oil, 2% mucilage, and 10% maltodextrin. The powder moisture content ranged from 4.5 to 6.8%. The bulk density, tapped density, Carr's index and Hausner's ratio was evaluated and the powder showed good flowability. All the peaks obtained by FTIR of powder were similar, and that wavenumber 3,254 cm−1 showed the interaction between the fenugreek mucilage, maltodextrin, and FGSO. XRD revealed that FGSO powder was amorphous and a steep peak found at 20°. TGA showed the two mass losses but was not heat‐labile. SEM revealed the particle size and shapes (spherical) for any cracks and fissures. The encapsulation efficiency showed variation from 56.18 to 70.24%. Overall, the results led to the conclusion that fenugreek seed oil can be encapsulated and that the fenugreek seed mucilage can be used as a botanical alternative to maltodextrin as a wall material. Practical applications Nowadays, health awareness is increasing among consumers. Due to which the demand for nutraceuticals and functional foods is increasing. Fenugreek seed oil (FGSO) controls chronic diabetes and heart diseases and benefits such as anti‐inflammatory and antioxidant properties. The taste of fenugreek seed oil is bitter, so its direct use as oil is restricted. Therefore, encapsulated FGSO with maltodextrin and fenugreek will musk the oil's bitter taste, making it edible. Encapsulation also prevents the degradation of bioactive compounds and increases the shelf life of FGSO. Since it is produced using fenugreek mucilage and maltodextrin, which benefits the gastro‐intestinal issue of the consumer. This encapsulated FGSO can be used as a powder for direct use.
