Vegetable by-products, produced in large quantities worldwide, contain significant amounts of bioactive compounds and fiber, which have been shown to offer health benefits, such as regulating blood lipid levels. Dyslipidemia, a primary target in the clinical metabolic control of susceptible populations, is strongly influenced by diet. Hence, this systematic review aims to present the main findings on the tested effect of consuming vegetable by-products as part of a regular diet on lipid-related alterations in humans and murine models.
The PRISMA protocol was followed to carry out this systematic review. The main results are outcomes related to ameliorating dyslipidemia and those significant findings linked to improving health status when consuming the vegetal by-product.
About 15,706 articles were identified, but only 19 were considered to fulfill the inclusion criteria established based on the reported data. The acquired information was organized based on the effect of consumption of vegetable by-products tested in murine models and tested in human intervention studies.
Findings included in this systematic review indicated that diverse bioactive present in vegetable by-products act as antioxidants, stimulators of biochemical processes such as thermogenesis, and even regulators of gene and microRNA expression, so when incorporated into the usual diet, they can provide a beneficial effect on lipid-metabolic related alterations, at the same time, they contribute to better management of food waste and sustainability.

Digitaria exilis and Clendendrum volubile are underutilized food resources common in Africa. Clendendrum volubile leaf has a history of being used in traditional medicine to treat or manage hyperglycemia. Despite Clendendrum volubile nutritive and pharmaceutical significance, no scientific study has explored its application in functional food development. In this study, the inhibitory activities of Clendendrum volubile leaf extract (CVLE) against -amylase and -glucosidase was determined. Fermented Digitaria exilis polysaccharide (FDEP) was partially substituted with CVLE at different percentages (0.8 % and 1.2 %) and its antihyperglycemic effect was investigated in alloxan-induced diabetic rat models. Results showed that the IC50 (CVLE extract concentration causing 50 % enzyme inhibition) for -amylase and -glucosidase were 330 /mL and 120 /mL, respectively, compared to acarbose, a standard inhibitor of starch-digesting enzymes, which had IC50 values of 370 /mL and 170 /mL for -amylase and -glucosidase, respectively. The animal study showed that FDEP containing 0.8 % CVLE lowered the blood glucose level of diabetic rats by 45.31 % after 24 days. Increasing CVLE concentration in the FDEP to 1.2 % not only reduced blood glucose by 72.97 % after 24 days, comparable to metformin's 74.29 % reduction, but also alleviated body weight loss and improved liver function by lowering alanine transaminase, aspartate transaminase, and alkaline phosphatase.

In this study, the anti-diabetic and anti-hypertensive properties of wheat (Triticum aestivum) noodles was improved by inclusion of acha (Digitaria exilis) and fig (Ficus exasperata) leaf, which are plants established to have anti-hyperglycemic and anti-hypertensive properties respectively. The glycemic indices and the effects of the formulated noodles on fasting blood glucose levels, hemodynamic blood pressures and enzymes linked to type-2 diabetes (α-amylase and α-glucosidase) and hypertension [arginase and angiotensin 1 converting enzyme (ACE)] were assessed. The results revealed that inclusion of acha and fig leaf in the noodles caused significant reduction in glycemic indices, fasting blood glucose and systolic and diastolic blood pressure and modulated the activities of enzymes linked to type-2 diabetes and hypertension in the rats. Conclusively, the results revealed that wheat noodles fortified with acha flour and fig leaf could be suitable meal choice for diabetic and hypertensive patients.

The current study attempts to assess the dipeptidyl peptidase – IV (DPP-IV) inhibitory potential of β-lactoglobulin (β-Lg) isolated from milk of Gir cow. Whey was separated from skim milk by precipitation of casein followed by ultrafiltration (UF) to remove lactose and salts as permeate. β-Lg was separated from the UF retentate using salting out technique. Its purity was confirmed by SDS-PAGE and RP-HPLC. Hydrolysates of β-Lg were prepared using three different enzymes viz., pepsin, trypsin and Flavourzyme at different enzyme to substrate (E:S) ratios (1:25, 1:50, 1:100) and treated for 2–12 h durations. Pepsin-treated hydrolysate showed maximum DPP-IV inhibition of 77.62 ± 0.98 % (IC50 = 3.78 mg/mL). Hydrolysate was passed serially through UF filters of 10 and 3 kDa. The permeate of 3 kDa, which exhibited 52.10 ± 0.72 % DPP-IV inhibition was fractionated through RP-HPLC and time based fractions were collected. All 41 fractions were again analysed for DPP-IV inhibition activity and 3 fractions which showed maximum DPP-IV inhibition activity were chosen for LC-MS/MS analysis. One novel peptide was identified through LC-MS/MS, which showed adequate DPP-IV inhibition (IC50 = 6.64 mmolL-1).

This study assessed the pigeon pea flour of different treatments; native pigeon pea flour (NPGF), germinated (GPGF), and solid-state fermented (FPGF) at 0, 24, and 48 h The NPGF served as control. The flour samples were analyzed for proximate composition, functional, pasting, rheological properties, mineral content, colour profile, physicochemical attributes, and phytochemical properties. Additionally, sensory evaluation was conducted on the cookies made from these flours. The NPGF sample had the highest moisture and fat content. Pigeon pea flour samples showed a decrease in water absorption capacity, oil absorption capacity, and foaming capacity as fermentation duration increased. The mineral element characteristics could serve as an ingredient for infant food formulation. The control sample (NPGF) had a higher pH value and amylose content than the germinated and fermented samples, and the fermented samples had higher amylopectin content than other flour samples. The GPGF sample shows higher values of total phenolic and total flavonoid content. The sensory characteristics of the cookies varied significantly (p < 0.05) and FPGF-cookies are the most preferred. Pigeon pea flour is deemed suitable for complementary foods such as cookies. Therefore, germinated and fermented pigeon pea flours possess enhanced the nutritional properties, making them valuable ingredients for various food applications.

Anthocyanins are water-soluble plant pigments whose stability is strongly influenced by pH. The effects of pH on the extraction of anthocyanins from jaboticaba berries were investigated using an ultrasound-assisted method. A strong acidic condition (pH 1.5) was found to produce a higher yield and monomeric anthocyanin content, particularly at longer ultrasonication time (30 min). The small pH increment of 0.3 over 2 weeks following a zero-order kinetic model. The monomeric anthocyanins increased more rapidly in refrigerated samples, with a kinetic constant of 0.017 mg/g per day, following a first-order kinetic model. Anthocyanins underwent a two-step mechanism in which colour intensity was reduced significantly in the first week, followed by lightness reduction in the second week. The decline of browning index suggested enzymatic reactions contributed to colour darkening. Negative activation energy reflected the complexity of biochemical reactions, possibly involving a balance of reversible and irreversible processes where the reaction equilibrium was influenced by temperature.

The impact of different roasting conditions on the nutritional profile, physical, functional, thermal, pasting properties, morphology, crystallinity, and functional groups of tamarind seed powder (TSP) was investigated. Roasting treatment enhanced ash, carbohydrate, fat, and flavonoid content (2.21 to 11.93 mg QE/g) while significantly reduced protein, fiber, phenol content, tannin (2.72 to 1.36 mg TAE/g), antioxidant activity, and physical characteristics like bulk density, tap density. The concentrations of minerals like Mg, K, Ca, and P (3006.00, 8313.85, 482.44, 2723.78 mg/kg) and essential and non-essential amino acids were significantly enhanced by roasting. The roasted TSP exhibited a significant difference in pasting and functional properties compared to the control powder. The proportion of crystallinity in the roasted powder decreased according to the XRD patterns. The SEM micrographs revealed slight modifications in the morphology of TSP after roasting. According to our outcomes, the enhanced nutritional content of roasted TSP has excellent potential for usage as a food ingredient with added value.

Agricultural activities generate a significant number of by-products that were traditionally considered waste. However, with the increasing emphasis on sustainability and the circular economy, there has been a shift toward exploring innovative ways to utilize these by-products in various industries, including the food and beverage sector.

The various parts of the palmyra and coconut trees which are widely distributed in the southern parts of the Indian subcontinent have been studied and utilized for many years. These contain a white and spongy edible component in them which is found during the germination of the seeds called haustorium. The palmyra and coconut trees each have different sections with special medical properties. Recently, the haustorium of both coconut and palmyra trees has been gaining increased attention from researchers due to its nutritional properties. Certain studies on the haustoria have revealed the presence of various compounds that are beneficial for human health. The bioactive compounds found in the previous studies include phenols, flavonoids, terpenoids, pyrimidine groups and certain vitamins which act as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-ulcer, anti-diabetic, anti-cancer, and anti-mutagenic agents. This review focuses on comparing the nutritional composition, bioactive compounds, sugar profile fatty acid profile, amino acid profile, minerals, and vitamins of both palmyra and coconut haustorium. This review also reports on the value addition of the haustoria as usually they are consumed in their raw form. These value-added products not only enhance the economic viability of these underutilized resources but also contribute to extending their shelf life, making them more accessible in the market. Also, this review emphasizes the haustorium's potential defence against negative consequences. Therefore, this review paper helps in understanding the palmyra and coconut haustorium and its potential health benefits.
