Effect of Extraction Method on the Phenolic and Cyanogenic Glucoside Profile of Flaxseed Extracts and their Antioxidant Capacity
Effect of different processing methods on resistant starch content and in vitro starch digestibility of some common Indian pulses
In the present study, the effect of various processing methods like soaking, autoclaving, storage and pullulanase treatment on resistant starch content and in vitro starch digestibility of dhals (split pulses) of pulses pigeon pea, green gram and black gram was assessed. Results showed that these processing methods including pullulanase treatment significantly decreased the resistant starch (RS) content in all the samples. Further, results of in vitro starch digestibility demonstrated that autoclaving significantly increased the predicted glycemic index (pGI) and slowly digested starch (SDS). However, decrease in rapidly digested starch (RDS) and starch digestive index (SDI) was observed after autoclaving. Results suggested that RS and RDS are getting converted into SDS after processing treatments. Moreover, present findings suggest that, the processed dhals of pigeon pea, green gram and black gram could have added health promoting potential due to their high content of SDS

808-813Guduchi has been widely used in the
traditional medicine as an immunomodulator. Description of guduchi in Ayurvedic
literature resemble<span style="font-size:8.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:
11.0pt;mso-bidi-font-family:" times="" new="" roman""="" lang="EN-GB"> with
T. sinensis rather than with commonly
available T. cordifolia and hence
this may be used as substitutes for T.
sinensis. T. cordifolia growing
on Azadirachta indica commonly called
Neem-guduchi has more
immunomodulatory potential. Thus, immunomodulatory activity of three Tinospora spp. was assessed by checking
humoral and cell mediated immune responses to the antigenic challenges with
sheep RBCs and by neutrophil adhesion tests on albino Wistar rats using
Guduchi-Satwa, a well known dosage
form. Results revealed that Neem-guduchi
possesses higher immunomodulatory potential at the dose of 300 mg/kg, po and
validated the traditional claim. Hence, Neem-Guduchi can be
employed in immunomodulatory formulation prepared using guduchi.
