    Impact of supplementation of broccoli products (Brassica oleracea L var italica plenck) on blood glucose and lipid profile of non-insulin dependent diabetics
    (PAU, 2014) Madhu; Kochhar, Anita
    Ninety non-insulin dependent male diabetics in the age group of 40-60 years were selected. Fresh floret and leaves of broccoli were washed, blanched, dried, powdered and chemically analyzed for nutritional composition. Ten products, five with broccoli floret and five with broccoli leaf powder namely Missi Roti, Vegetable Dalia, Dhokla, Channa dhal and Barley snacks were developed and evaluated organoleptically. Incorporation of broccoli floret powder at 5-15% and broccoli leaves powder at 5-10% was highly acceptable in all five products. The selected subjects were divided into three groups I, II and III, each group having thirty subjects. The subjects of group I was given no treatment, group II was given 10 gm of broccoli floret and group III was given 10 gm of broccoli leaf powder in form of missi roti for a period of 3 months along with nutrition counselling. Subjects were imparted nutrition education regarding the disease, its dietary management, health benefits of broccoli and physical exercise. The mean energy, carbohydrates, protein and fat intake decreased significantly (P≤0.01) in the subjects of group II and III and a non significant decrease (P≤0.01) was seen in the subjects of group I. Significant (P≤0.01) percent reduction was observed in fasting blood glucose level by 17.2 and 11.7, post prandial glucose level by 14.1 and 11.9, total cholesterol 8.4 and 9.5, triglycerides 10.7 and 6.2, LDL-C 11.1 and 8.0, VLDL-C 10.5 and 9.4, and an increase in HDL-C 7.3 and 3.7 in the subjects of group II, and III . The ratio of total cholesterol to HDL-C reduced to 14.6, and 9.4 per cent and LDL- C to HDL-C reduced to 16.6 and 11.2 per cent in the subjects of group II, and III respectively whereas non significant changes were observed in the subjects of group I . There was also a significant decrease (P≤0.01) in the blood pressure of the subjects in group II and III and a non significant decrease (P≤0.01) was seen in the subjects of group I. There was a significant increase (P≤0.01) in KAP scores obtained by the subjects of group II and III and a non significant increase (P≤0.01) was seen in the subjects of group I. It can be inferred from the results that supplementation of brocoli floret and leaf powder along with nutrition counselling significantly improved the nutritional status of the diabetics.
