Abstract
The present research work aimed to study the effects of 3 nutritional food industry by-products (orange peels, peanut skin peels and pomegranate peel) on regulating blood glucose level. 66 male adult Sprague-Dawely rats weighing 125 ± 5 g each were used. These rats were injected with alloxan for inducing diabetes. The negative control group consisted of rats fed on basal diet, while the positive control group consisted of (3 - 11) sub-groups fed on basal diet in addition to 5%, 7.5% and 10% of nutritional food industry by-products. After 4 weeks the effect of the different experimental diets on body weight gain, organs relative weight, blood glucose level, liver functions and kidney functions was recorded for the negative group and all the positive sub-groups. The results revealed that there was non-significant difference between all relative organ weights of liver, kidney and pancreas compared to control negative. Blood glucose level significantly decreased in all sub-groups compared to the control positive group.

Food processing products have become an important sanitary problem to be studied
The present study aimed to investigate the effect of the food industry by-products
The hypoglycemic properties of some food industry by-products such as pomegranate peel, peanut red hull and orange peels in this study may be attributed to one or more of its photochemical properties
Summary
Food processing products have become an important sanitary problem to be studied. Efforts have been made for converting refused materials into valuable products [1]. Food production is failing behind population growth in many developing countries. It is the vulnerable groups, infants and young.

There are some food processing wastes such as pomegranate peel, orange peel and peanuts skin (Arachis hypogae L); which are considered important factors of therapeutic diets, supplying essential nutrient elements such as fiber, vitamin, and minerals to human body
