Utilization of carrot pomace and germinated chickpea for development of soup mix for hyperlipidemic patients (Unpublished Ph.D. Dissertation). Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana, Punjab, India.https://krishikosh.egranth.ac.in/handle/1/5810189989Nine samples of soup mix were formulated using three varieties of carrot pomace powder (CPP) i.e. Punjab carrot red (PCR), Punjab black beauty (PBB) and PC-34 and one variety of germinated chickpea flour (GCF) i.e. L-552 that were supplemented at three different levels, i.e. S1 with 60 percent GCF and 20 percent CPP, S2 with 50 percent GCF and 30 percent CPP, S3 with 40 percent GCF and 40 percent CPP. The highly acceptable soup mix developed using 50 percent GCF and 30 percent CPP of Punjab carrot red variety was further analyzed for nutritional composition and supplemented to hyperlipidemic patients for a period of three months. To study the impact of supplementation, 60 hyperlipidemic patients (30-60 years), were selected from PAU Hospital and Delta Heart Centre, Ludhiana. The study was divided in two periods i.e. control period and experimental period. During the one month of control period, the subjects were observed without supplementation and during the experimental period, the subjects were supplemented with the 12 g of most acceptable developed soup mix in form of sachets on daily basis for a period of three months. Average daily nutrient intake showed a reduction in carbohydrates, i.e. 164.58 to 147.85 g/day and an increase in protein (45.13 to 53.05 g/day), dietary fibre (20 to 26.95 g/day) and β- carotene (5102.50 to 5535.83 µg/d). The anthropometric measurements of the subjects showed a significant reduction in weight and BMI by 3 percent. The body fat percentage decreased to 0.93 percent after experimental period. Lipid profile of the subjects revealed that total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol content decreased significantly to 4.51 and 8.24 percent whereas there was an increase observed in HDL cholesterol by 8.48 percent. VLDL and triglyceride content reduced to 4 percent. Atherogenic index of plasma was seen to be reduced by 7.57 percent. Haematological profile of subjects revealed haemoglobin, PCV, RBC and WBC levels to be 13.19mg/dl, 37.05 percent, 4.79 million mm3 and 7435 mm3, respectively after experimental period. A significant reduction (p<0.01) was observed in fasting blood glucose levels of subjects from 106.47 mg/dl during control period to 103.65 mg/dl during experimental period. Systolic and diastolic blood pressure range reduced to 2.46 and 2.58 percent after supplementation of highly acceptable soup mix for a period of 3 months. Incorporation of carrot pomace with germinated chickpea seeds proved as an economical alternative in improving the lipid profile of hyperlipidemic subjects.EnglishThesis
