EFFECT OF FORTIFIED BISUIT WITH SOYBEN FLOUR AS HYPOGLYCEMIC AGENT IN DIABETIC RATS
Abstract: The present investigation was conducted to investigate the effect of unfortified biscuits, fortified biscuits with soybean flour and school children biscuits on some biological and biochemical parameters such as food intake, percent weight gain, serum glucose, liver functions, kidney functions and iron status in normal and diabetic rats. Biscuits were fortified with 10,15 and 20% soybean flour. Biscuits samples were evaluated to choose the best samples for the biological part sixty albino rats were divided into tow groups (30 rat/ each). The first main group was normal while the second main group was hyperglycemic. Both groups were divided into six subgroups fed on basal diet containing 2.5 or5% protein from unfortified biscuits, school children biscuits and fortified biscuit with 10% soybean flour. After 5 weeks rats were sacrificed biscuits and blood samples were collected to obtain the serum. Results indicated that feeding diabetic groups on basal diet containing soybean flour led to an improvement in serum glucose, liver function and urea nitrogen. while normal groups fed on basal diet containing 5% protein from school children biscuits led to an improvement in total iron .The healthy groups fed on basal diet containing 5% protein from fortified biscuits with 10% soybean flour led to an improvement in total iron binding capacity. It is recommended to use soybean flour in diabetic foods and diets . planning implementing nutrition education programs for diabetic patients in order to explain the important role of soybean in controlling diabetes . both normal and diabetic children can nutritionally benefit from fortified school biscuits with soybean flour because it is suitable for them and improves their nutritional status
