Abstract

This work was aimed to prepare high nutritional value cookies for diabetic children and as a blood sugar lowering materials. Four cookies for diabetic childrenof high nutritive value were prepared using some plant seeds (black rice, lupine and germinated fenugreek seeds) and leaves (mulberry and olive leaves). The effect of sugar substitution on biological properties of prepared snacks using different levels of natural and artificial sweeteners {stevia, high fructose corn syrup (HFCS)} and olive oil were carried out.
Rats were randomly assigned to (7 groups) four rats each, extending feeding albino rats for six weeks on any investigated cookies which contained plant sources such as seeds and leaves caused a continuous decrease in glucose levels of rats. Cookies 2 which was benefit for reducing glucose blood levels, where it was (146.50 mg/ld) at the end of the six weeks compared with control (-) and (+)cookies.It was noticed that rats group fed on control (-) was the highest body weight gain (35.75) with being significantly different with other rats groups fed on cookies compared with control (+) showed the lowest BWG (-17.67). For food daily intake, it was clearly that it increased in all treated groups compared with positive control group (17.68) comparing with negative control (17.75). Highest FER was (3.18) in cookies 2 rat groups followed by (3.05) for control cookies rat groups comparing with control (-) which recorded (2.02).
Control (-) had low content of cholesterol (121.21 mg/dl) followed by cookies 3 rat groups as (123.82). The highest HDL-C was found to be in control (-) followed by cookies 3 rat groups as (53.80 mg/dl) and (45.87 mg/dl), respectively. Rats groups fed on cookies 3 were the lowest LDL-C content (52.19 mg/dl) compared with control (+) as (66.96 mg/dl). The highest GOT content was (69.50) found in rat groups fed on cookies 4. Feeding rat groups on diabetic children diets effected positively on high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and negatively on cholesterol, low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and triglyceride as well as reducing glutamic oxalacetic transaminase (GOT) and glutamic pyruvic transaminase (GPT).
