Plantain‐based dough meal: Nutritional property, antioxidant activity and dyslipidemia ameliorating potential in high‐fat‐induced rats

Abstract

This study was designed to evaluate the nutritional property of plantain-based dough meal, antioxidant activity and dyslipidemia-ameliorating potential in high-fatinduced rats. The flour blends, that is, plantain 70%, soy cake 30% (PSC); plantain 65%, soy cake 30%, rice bran 5% (PSR); plantain 65%, soy cake 30%, oat-bran 5% (PSO); plantain 60%, soy cake 30%, rice bran 5%, oat-bran 5% (PSRO); and controls (100% plantain flour and Cerolina) were evaluated for proximate, amino acids, antioxidants, phenolic profile, and antihyperlipidemia. Protein, fiber, and energy composition varied from 2.2 to 4.97 g/100 g, 16.44 to 19.59 g/100 g, and 369.7 to 385.5 kcal/100 g, respectively. The essential amino acid index and predicted biological values of the foods ranged from 68.31% to 76.31% and 62.19% to 71.48%, respectively. Phenolic profiles (mg/g) were gallic acid (25.33-31.26), caffeic acid

Dietary phytochemical and metabolic disease prevention: Focus on plant proteins

“…Crude extracts that form during food processing are considered an alternative source of antioxidants for improved management and prevention of metabolic diseases associated with oxidative stress ( 54 , 55 ). The major antioxidants found in plant extracts are phenolic compounds, which include phenolic acids, flavonoids, and anthocyanins ( 47 ).…”

Modulation of gut microbiota and lipid metabolism in rats fed high-fat diets by Ganoderma lucidum triterpenoids

“…Bifidobacterium can improve glucose tolerance in people with hyperglycemia or other metabolic disorders ( Ming et al, 2021 ). Many studies have reported that the metabolic diseases were improve by regulating intestinal flora with natural active substances ( Li et al, 2018 ; Oluwajuyitan et al, 2022 ; Wan et al, 2018 ; Yang et al, 2022 ). Therefore, research on health effects of gut microbiota is of considerable importance.…”

Development of a polyphenol‐enriched whole kiwifruit dietary supplement and its potential in ameliorating hyperlipidemia

“…4,5 Hence, for the sake of human health, alternative therapies are urgently required to lower low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c) to realize the effective manipulation of hyperlipidemia. 6,7 In recent years, the interaction mechanism between the gut microbiome and hyperlipidemia has been revealed. The gut microbiota is a constellation of microbial species with tremendous biotransformation capabilities; its structure and quantity reflect the exquisite modulation of host metabolism.…”

“…Because of extremely high abuse potential and noticeable chronic side effects in statin therapy, they are restricted under certain circumstances 4,5 . Hence, for the sake of human health, alternative therapies are urgently required to lower low‐density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL‐c) to realize the effective manipulation of hyperlipidemia 6,7 …”
