Description |
Diabetes mellitus is a common disease caused by the absolute or relative absence of insulin and it remains an active disease and danger to human health. The prevalence of Diabetes is increasing constantly and the World Health Organization has estimated that Diabetes will affect 221 million people world wide by the year 2010. Habitual diet is the major modifiable risk factor and the identification of simple, cost effective strategies for prevention and management as a matter of urgency. Obesity is also an independent risk factor for various chronic diseases and moderate weight loss improves glycemic control, reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, and can prevent the development of type II Diabetes .Hence Grapefruit ,a citrus fruit with low Glycemic index suitable for Diabetics was selected for the present study. Low calorie products like Grapefruit juice, chiller, spread and ketchup incorporating artificial sweetner in place of sugar were developed. The low calorie products developed were subjected to organoleptic evaluation for better assessment .The four acceptable products were selected and analyzed for proximate composition. Acceptability study was carried out on six non-insulin dependent diabetic patiebts and it was found that the ready to serve beverages like Grapefruit juice and Grapefruit chiller were more acceptable and preferred than the preserved products like Grapefruit spread and Grapefruit ketchup. Thus, the inclusion of grapefruit and its products maybe recommended ,especially to the pre-diabetic and diabetic patients to delay the long term complications and add variety to the diabetic diet and achieve a tight good glycemic control. |
