Process for preparation of hypoglycemic foods and formulations thereof

a technology of hypoglycemia and food, applied in the field of preparation of hypoglycemia foods and formulations thereof, can solve the problems of not providing authentic information about the nature and processing of ingredients, the blood glucose level is too high or low, and the proprietary diabetic foods are often not in the range normally recommended for diabetics, so as to improve the glucose and insulin variables, and the index of supplemental chromium is elevated

Benefits of technology

The patent describes a process for making hypoglycemic foods and formulations that can be used as snacks or supplementary foods for Type II diabetics. The foods contain specific amounts of toasted cereals, legumes, soy, fenugreek, spice mix, amla fruit pulp, Garcinia combogia rinds, dry skimmed milk, edible oil, and vitamin and mineral premix. The technical effect of this patent is to provide a convenient and effective way to manage blood sugar levels for Type II diabetics through a balanced and nutritional diet.

Problems solved by technology

In healthy humans, the insulin response is adequate to maintain blood glucose levels in normal limits but any aberration in the insulin response results in excess (hyperglycemia) or low (hypoglycemia) glucose levels in blood.
This physiological disorder also occurs due to the destruction and malfunctioning of pancreatic beta cells or inadequate insulin secretion or secretion of ineffective insulin.
The draw backs of the hitherto known diabetic foods available as proprietary products to the consumers are that, most of them do not provide authentic information about the nature and processing the ingredients have undergone.
Moreover, the energy derived from carbohydrates, proteins and fat, from the proprietary diabetic foods very often does not fall in the range normally recommended for the diabetics.
Hence, prolonged usage of such foods by the population at risk and the diabetics may aggravate health complications.
Another drawback of the hitherto known diabetic formulations is that, most of them contain synthetic or non-nutritive sweeteners, and their prolonged usage may manifest in malignancy and may also lead to dysfunction of vital organs (Ralph G., Walton, Hudak R. and Ruth Green-Waite, Adverse reactions to Aspartame: Double blind challenge in patients from a vulnerable population.
Moreover, the formulations marketed as ‘foods for diabetics’ and not as hypoglycemic foods and hence, may cause an adverse socio-psychological effects on diabetics, and the population with impaired glucose tolerance or who are prone to diabetes may not use them.
Besides, many of them are herbal based products serving as source of phytochemicals and do not contribute carbohydrate energy and they may contain anti-nutrients and toxicants, which may cause health hazards to the consumer in the long run.

[0079] Fifty kg wheat was sprayed with 1.5 L potable water, tempered for 10 min and scoured to 2.5% degree of decortication in a rice huller. The scoured wheat was toasted in a grain roaster at 70° C. till the grains changed to golden brown color. Two kg bengal gram dhal, 1.5 kg black gram dhal, 1.5 kg green gram dhal, 6 kg dehusked soy dhal and 3 kg fenugreek seeds, 1 kg pepper, 1 kg cumin seeds and 0.2 kg cinnamon, each toasted separately in a grain roaster by contact heat at about 80° C. till the development of characteristic desirable aroma from each of the ingredients. Subsequently, out of these toasted material, 30 kg wheat, 1.5 kg bengal gram dhal, 1 kg black gram dhal, 1 kg green gram dhal, 5 kg soy dhal, 2.5 kg fenugreek seeds, 0.75 kg pepper, 0.5 kg cumin seeds and 0.15 kg cinnamon were mixed well, and to that 1 kg dry Garcinia combogia rinds was added and the blend was pulverized in a plate mill to the meal of the particle less than 350 micron size.

[0082] Fifty kg decorticated finger millet prepared following the process developed by CFTRI, Mysore (Malleshi, N. G., A process for preparation of decorticated finger millet. Indian Patent Application No. 69 / DEU2002, 2002), was toasted at 50° C. in a gram roaster. Two kg bengal gram dhal, 1.5 kg black gram dhal, 1.5 kg green gram dhal, 6 kg dehusked soy dhal and 3 kg fenugreek seeds, 1 kg pepper, 1 kg cumin seeds and 0.2 kg cinnamon, each toasted separately in a grain roaster by contact heat at about 80° C. till the characteristic desirable aroma from each of the ingredients developed.

[0083] Subsequently, out of these toasted material, 30 kg wheat, 1.5 kg bengal gram dhal, 1 kg black gram dhal, 1 kg green gram dhal, 5 kg soy dhal, 2.5 kg fenugreek seeds, 0.75 kg pepper, 0.5 kg cumin seeds and 0.15 kg cinnamon were mixed well, and to that 1 kg dry Garcinia combogia rinds was added and the blend was pulverized in a plate mill to the meal of the particle size of less than 350 micron....

example 3

[0085] Fifty kg each of wheat and millet based ready-to-cook formulations were prepared, as illustrated in examples 1 and 2, and the same were sprayed separately with a pre-determined amount of water to raise the moisture content to 18.0%, mixed well in a tumble mixer, equilibrated in closed container for about 24 hr and extrusion cooked in a single-screw extruder at 200 rpm and 140° C. barrel temperature at the feed rate of 100 kg / hr. The extrudates were cut at the exit point of the extruder mechanically to size similar to cheese roll and dried to 3% moisture level in a mechanical dryer. The expansion ratio, color, appearance, hardness and organoleptic qualities of the extruded material were assessed. The products with crisp texture and light brown color were readily accepted as ready-to-eat (RTE) food supplements, food adjuncts, snacks by diabetics and healthy population.

[0086] The color of the RTC and the RTE foods was measured in Hunterlab color measuring system where as the ra...
