“…The higher the IAUC of a meal, the higher its GI & GL, and vice-versa [36]. Consequently and conversely to APYTOS, IPYTOS and EPYTOS meals, the high postprandial glucose peaks and IAUCs of DG, OPYTOS, LPY and LPYTOS suggest that these meals, most especially DG and OPYTOS, would be rapidly metabolized to create spike in blood glucose that could lead to high GI and GL shown in Table 3.…”

Aim: The concept of glycemic index (GI) was introduced to classify carbohydrates and carbohydrate-rich diets, which are major staple foods in Nigeria. This study evaluates the glycemic index and glycemic load (GL) of local pounded yam and four instant pounded yam flours consumed with Telfairia occidentalis soup in test human subjects. The blood glucose levels were determined at 30 min interval for 2 h, and were used to determine the incremental areas under the curves (IUACs) for the various meals, which in turn were used to determine their GIs, while GLs were calculated from GIs. Results:The GIs and GLs (46.00 ± 2.08%; 23.33 ± 1.20%), (48.67 ± 0.88; 25.00 ± 0.58) and (50.33 ± 1.45%; 26.00 ± 0.58%) of APYTOS, IPYTOS and EPYTOS respectively were significantly lesser than the GI and GL of the other meals.Conclusion: APYTOS, IPYTOS and EPYTOS are low GI foods with high GL values, while LPY is a moderate GI food with high GL also although, its' GL is higher.

“…In a nutshell, GI and GL are directly proportional to blood glycemic responses, postprandial glucose peaks and IAUCs. The lower the GI value of a meal; the lower the blood glucose level, insulin level, glycemic response, postprandial glucose peak and IAUC, and vice versa [36].…”

“…Oatmeal, wheat bran, and cornmeal provide essential nutrients for Z. atratus growth. These meals are protein-rich essentially for larvae growth (Emaleku et al, 2018;Onwulata et al, 2010;Rasane et al, 2015). Thus, all treatments in EPS and XPS groups containing supplements showed enhancement in final larva length compared to EPS or XPS alone.…”

Polystyrene waste pollutes the environment and poses a significant health risk to humans, animals, and marine ecology. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of degradation on expanded (EPS) and extruded (XPS) polystyrene with different diets using superworms (Zophobas atratus larvae) obtained in Malaysia. The growth and development of the larvae after consumption of EPS and XPS and the gut microbial community changes in response to high polystyrene consumption diets were also identified. The oatmeal, wheat bran, and cornmeal were used as supplement diets and showed significantly enhanced EPS and XPS consumption and degradation compared to sole diet treatment. Gel permeation chromatography was carried out using egested frass of Z. atratus larvae to characterize depolymerization of EPS and XPS, indicating a significant reduction in the average molecular weight and average molecular weight. The highest reduction occurred in the presence of oatmeal. Proton nuclear magnetic resonance and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analyses indicated functional group changes and chemical modification occurred with depolymerization and partial oxidation of EPS and XPS. The larvae length increased, while the number of instars and duration of larvae became shorter with the addition of supplement diets. Oatmeal is predominantly effective among other supplements in assisting Z. atratus larvae with EPS and XPS degradation. The results of this study support the ubiquity of polystyrene biodegradation in Z. atratus and the next-generation sequencing studies. Kluyvera sp., Klebsiella sp., and Enterobacter sp. were found to be strongly associated with degrading EPS and XPS polystyrene with oatmeal as a supplemental diet.

Introduction: The edible leaves of Abelmoschus manihot Linn., Amaranthus spinosus Linn. and Talinum triangulare (Jacq.) Willd. are exhibiting mucilaginous features and are utilized in making soupy dishes. However, the utilization of the said plant species as sources of mucilages for pharmaceutical excipient application has not yet been reported in literatures. Objectives:The study aimed to extract and partially characterize mucilages from the leaves of A. manihot, A. spinosus and T. triangulare. for potential pharmaceutical excipient application. Materials and Methods: Mucilages were extracted from the leaves of A. manihot, A. spinosus and T. triangulare. Preliminary qualitative tests as well as determination of the physico-chemical properties, i.e. pH, solubility, swelling index, loss on drying, total sugar content and total uronic acid content, were conducted on the extracted mucilages. Identification of functional groups were also carried out through Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Results and Discussion: Results of the qualitative tests showed detection of carbohydrates, polysaccharides and mucilages among the mucilages extracted from A. manihot, A. spinosus and T. triangulare. The pH values of the extracted mucilage were nearly neutral indicating that they can be less irritating to the gastrointestinal tract when utilize for tablet formulations. Data obtained for the physico-chemical properties showed that mucilages of A. manihot gave statistically different values as compared to the mucilages derived from A. spinosus and T. triangulare. A. manihot mucilage exhibited significantly higher swelling index (357.78%) and total sugar content (273.65 mg glucose/g extract) and significantly lower loss on drying (10.72%) and total uronic acid content (105.20 mg glucuronic acid/g extract) than the other mucilages from A. spinosus and T. triangulare. Furthermore, FTIR spectral analysis showed typical peaks and characteristic bands of mucilage. Conclusion: A. manihot mucilage is promising for utilization as pharmaceutical excipient. However, further analysis is recommended.
