Impact of resistant starch: absorption of dietary minerals, glycemic index and ...
Nisa, Mahr Un; Kasankala, Ladislaus Manaku; Khan, Faima Atta; Al-Asmari, Fahad; Rahim, Muhammad Abdul; Hussain, Imtiaz; Angelov, Angel; Bartkiene, ElenaBackground & aims: Resistant starch (RS) is a prebiotic fiber that has been scientifically shown to control the development of obesity. Prebiotic role of RS has also seen to be very important as it helps gut bacteria to regulate fermentation and fatty acid production. This study aimed to check the different levels of RS on glycemic index, oxidative stress and mineral absorption rate in healthy rat models. To ev...
Optimized spray-dried conditions' impact on fatty acid profiles and estimation ...
Rahim, Muhammad Abdul; Regenstein, Joe M.; Al-Asmari, Fahad; Imran, Muhammad; Ramadan, Mohamed Fawzy; Rocha, João Miguel F.; Hussain, ImtiazLong-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFA) are of interest due to their potential health properties and have a significant role in reducing the risk of various chronic diseases in humans. It is commonly used as a supplement. However, lipid oxidation is an important negative factor caused by environmental, processing, and limited water solubility of LCPUFA, making them difficult to incorporate into food pro...
Characterization and effect of optimized spray-drying conditions on spray-dried...
Rahim, Muhammad Abdul; Imran, Muhammad; Khan, Faima Atta; Al-Asmari, Fahad; Regenstein, Joe M.; Alomar, Suliman Yousef; Hussain, ImtiazCoriander (Coriandrum sativum L.) essential oil (CEO) has many beneficial features, including antimicrobial and antifungal properties along with good aroma. It also has an important role in food processing and preservation. However, CEO is highly volatile and sensitive to external factors (heat, light and oxygen), as well as susceptible to lipid oxidation due to environmental and general processing conditions. ...
Effect of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum on the conversion of linoleic acid of v...
Khan, Awais; Nadeem, Muhammad; Al-Asmari, Fahad; Imran, Muhammad; Ambreen, Saadia; Rahim, Muhammad Abdul; Oranab, Sadaf; Esatbeyoglu, TubaConjugated linoleic acid (CLA) is perceived to protect the body from metabolic diseases. This study was conducted to determine the effect of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum (Lp. plantarum) on CLA production and sensory characteristics of cheddar cheese. Lp. plantarum can convert linoleic acid (LA) to CLA. To increase CLA in cheddar cheese and monitor the conversion of LA to CLA by Lp. plantarum, the LA content of...
Effect of fat contents of buttermilk on fatty acid composition, lipolysis, vita...
Asif, Mussab; Nadeem, Muhammad; Imran, Muhammad; Ullah, Rahman; Tayyab, Muhammad; Khan, Faima Atta; Al-Asmari, Fahad; Rahim, Muhammad AbdulCheddar-type cheese produced from buttermilk had softer texture than standard cheddar cheese due to lower fat content of buttermilk. Fat is extremely important for the functional characteristics and optimum textural attributes of cheese. The effect of different fat contents of buttermilk on chemical characteristics of cheddar-type cheese is not previously investigated. This investigation was conducted to know t...

Shabbir, Iqra; Al-Asmari, Fahad; Saima, Hafiza; Nadeem, Muhammad Tahir; Ambreen, Saadia; Kasankala, Ladislaus Manaku; Khalid, Muhammad ZubairA variety of foods fermented with lactic acid bacteria (LAB) serve as dietary staples in many countries. The incorporation of health-promoting probiotics into fermented milk products can have profound effects on human health. Considering the health benefits of Yakult, the current study was undertaken to develop an enriched Yakult-like fermented skimmed milk drink by the addition of two probiotic strains, namely...
