Abstract
This study was conducted in order to develop a breakfast food with a low glycemic index from a formulation based on the pre-treated foxtail millet and soybean. The pre-treatment applied to raw materials (germination of millet, pre-cooking or roasting soybeans) have helped to improve the functional properties of blends. Flours made from germinated millet have a low estimated glycemic index, or 35.39 and 34.49 respectively for GMRS and GMPCS. During storage periods, the four blends pH decreased significantly difference (p<0.05), The FA and IPV of all blends increase slightly during storage without reaching their standard values which were set at no more than 30 meq.g of iodide/1Kg for FA and 3 mg of KOH/100 g for IPV. At room temperature the blends can be stored for 90 days without preservatives.
Highlights
According to World Health Organization (WHO) [1], in 2005, 194 million people suffering from diabetes worldwide
In addition we found that flours made from germinated millet have a low Estimated Glycemic Index (EGI), or 35.39 and 34.49 respectively for Germinated millet/Roasted soybean (GMRS) and Germinated millet/Pre-cooked soybean (GMPCS)
The low EGI suggest that GMRS and GMPCS could be useful in the preventing and dietary treatment of diabetes
Summary
According to World Health Organization (WHO) [1], in 2005, 194 million people suffering from diabetes worldwide. Two thirds of them lived in developing countries. In 2025, it will be more than 330 million people who live with diabetes. The region of the world that will have the largest number of diabetics will be the Southeast Asia with a forecast of 82 million diabetics. Breakfast is the first meal of the day, is widely referred to as the most important meal of the day. Skipping breakfast does not catch up [2]. Studies on attention and working memory have shown that a breakfast rich in carbohydrates helps to maintain the same level of mental performance during morning. Nutritionists stress the importance of breakfast, especially for adults who have diabetes
