Lipid profile of hyperlipidemic males after supplementation of multigrain bread containing sunflower (Helianthus annuus) seed flour

Abstract

Sunflower seeds are produced and consumed worldwide due to their richness in heart friendly nutrients in the bakery products. Its effect on reducing the incidences of cardio vascular diseases have not been studied, through supplementary studies therefore present supplementation study was planned in which five samples of bread were prepared by using various multigrain flours and sunflower seed flour at five different levels of 2.5, 5, 7.5, 10 and 12.5%. The bread sample supplemented with 7.5% sunflower seed flour was found to be highly acceptable. Sunflower seeds were roasted at 60 °C for 10-15 min. Chemical analysis of sunflower seed flour (raw and roasted) and highly acceptable bread pertaining to proximate composition, in vitro protein digestibility, antioxidant activity, bioactive compounds, essential fatty acids and minerals was done using standard methods. Roasting of seeds resulted in significant increase in carbohydrates, protein digestibility, phosphorus, magnesium and copper contents. The most acceptable sample had good amount of energy (324.48 kcal), protein (10.61 g), fat (2.92 g), fibre (11.36 g), ash (3.29 g), antioxidant activity (12.13%), total phenols (31.54 mg), flavonoids (17.53 mg), omega 3 fatty acids (186.16 mg), omega 6 fatty acids (13,701.40 mg), phosphorus (68.74 mg), magnesium (28.13 mg) and copper (0.12 mg) per 100 g. Sixty hyperlipidemic males aged 30-50 years were supplemented with highly acceptable bread for four months. After the intervention period, mean daily intake of and nuts and oilseeds increased significantly (p \ 0.01) and a significant increase (p \ 0.01) in the intake of total fat, dietary fibre, PUFA, linoleic acid, ascorbic acid, alpha tocopherols and phosphorus was observed. The weight, BMI, total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol and triglycerides significantly reduced after the supplementation.

Evaluation of healthy pan bread enriched with sesame, peanut and sun flower seeds

“…Increasing the levels of sunflower protein in the gluten-free bread significantly improved the quality and the sensory acceptability of the bread [27]. The bread sample supplemented with 7.5% Sunflower seeds had high acceptability [28]. Sunflower and sesame seeds have benefits on human anti-obesity promotion [29].…”

Effect of carrot pomace and germinated chickpea soup mix on serum lipid profile in hyperlipidemic males

“…The mean daily nutrient intake was compared to the dietary intake of a balanced diet and recommended dietary allowances (13). Total cholesterol, LDL cholestrol, VLDL cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL cholesterol and fasting blood glucose were analyzed as per methodology reported by Kaur et al (14). R.B.C, W.B.C and hematocrit (15), atherogenic Index (16) and blood pressure measurements were also done.…”

Protective effect of Helianthus annuus seed byproduct extract on ultraviolet radiation‐induced injury in skin cells

“…Moreover, H. annuus seeds have several pharmacological actions, including renal protective, 22 antibacterial, 23 anti-obesity, 24 and hypolipidemic effects. 25 The oil extracted from H. annuus seeds mainly contains linoleic acid and the byproduct after oil extraction is rich in proteins, sugars, and phenolic acids. 26,27 At present, this seed byproduct is primarily used for its proteins and phenolic acids, which are developed into edible, biodegradable food film matrices and functional foods, respectively.…”
