In addition, the present invention provides a process to obtain an organoleptically improved dietary fiber composition comprising protein and galactomannans for treatment of diabetes.
Claims38
An organoleptically improved dietary fiber composition obtained from Trigonella foenum-graecum for management of diabetes, said composition comprising proteins 20% w/w to 30% w/w, and galactomannans 32% w/w to 80% w/w optionally along with acceptable additives.
A method of preventing and/or managing diabetes in a subject in need thereof, said method comprising the step of administering pharmaceutically acceptable amount of organoleptically improved dietary fiber composition obtained from Trigonella foenum-graecum said composition comprising proteins 20% w/w to 30% w/w, and galactomannans 32% w/w to 80% w/w optionally along with acceptable additives to the subject.
A process for extraction of organoleptically improved dietary fiber composition from plant Trigonella foenum-graecum comprising proteins 20% w/w to 30% w/w, and galactomannans 32% w/w to 80% w/w, optionally along with acceptable additives, said process consisting of the steps of:
- (a) soaking the plant parts overnight in a first solvent;
- (b) powdering plant parts to obtain powder;
- (c) extracting the powdered plant parts using a second solvent selected from a group comprising water, hydrochloric acid and combinations thereof;
- (d) separating the extracted components;
- (e) precipitating the separated components to obtain gum;
- and
- (f) washing precipitated gum followed by drying to obtain organoleptically improved dietary fiber.
