ANTIDIABETIC POTENTIAL OF PROTEIN AND FIBER RICH MILLET BASED SNACK BAR
AbstractDiabetes mellitus has become a global concern with 422 million people affected due to this disease. As the oral hypoglycaemic drugs available in the market have their own set of side effects which can be one of the primary factors towards non-adherence of these medicines among patients, we must explore some natural alternatives in order to deal with this disease in an efficient manner. In such scenario, exploring some intelligent solutions like functional foods can be very helpful as they have the goodness of natural ingredients. The present study focuses on the development of functional food rich in millets, camel milk powder and apple pomace powder. Functional snack bar developed with antioxidant-rich millet mixture (Ragi: Bajra: Kodo: Kutki = 1:1:1:1), insulin-rich camel milk powder and fiber-rich apple pomace powder might have the potential to treat diabetes. Animal studies can be planned in the future in order to validate the product. Moreover, future course of action can comprise of moving into the direction of molecular and cell biology wherein cell line studies can be conducted.
