Abstract:
The antidiabetic and hypoglycaemic effect of Avena sativa, Hordeum vulgare and Echinochloa frumentacea has been explored and proved. The aim of this study was to investigate proximate, essential fatty acids and quantitative analysis of phytochemicals in Avena sativa, Hordeum vulgare and Echinochloa frumentacea. These cereals not only help to prevent many diseases but also used as functional ingredients. This study includes the estimation of moisture, ash, fat, fiber, protein, CHO, vitamin C, calcium of Avena sativa, Hordeum vulgare and Echinochloa frumentaceawere determined by titerametric method and zinc, phosphorous and iron were determined by atomic absorption spectrophotometer method (AAS). Quantitative analysis of differential nutrient components was performed by standard methods and estimation of lipid profile were also done. Results indicate that protein and phosphorous of Avena sativa (13.7g/100g, 380.3mg/100g) Hordeum vulgare (11.5g/100g, 214.7mg/100g) and Echinochloa frumentacea(11g/100g, 281.6mg/100g) were observed to be higher. Thus, the study concluded that these cereals contain many differential nutrients component and minerals which plays an important role in nerve signal transmission, which is how your brain and muscles communicate. These cereals are packed with protein, antioxidants and nutrients. Furthermore, its gluten free, an excellent choice for peopleof celiac disease who follow a gluten free diet.
