The No-Amylose Diet the Goal of This Diet Is to Avoid Foods That Contain Amylose and Glucose Which in Turn Cause a Rapid Rise in Blood Sugar When Ingested
The No-Amylose Diet The goal of this diet is to avoid foods that contain amylose and glucose which in turn cause a rapid rise in blood sugar when ingested. This diet is based on the 00-2-3 rule and is an easy way for you to remember what should or should not be included in your diet each day. • 0 sugars (glucose or sucrose, including corn syrup) • 0 amylose • 2 servings of protein that total at least 6 to 8 ounces • 3 servings each of vegetables that grow above the ground and fruit (except bananas) per day. Easy-To-Make Adjustments This diet allows for sufficient quantities of food so that you won’t be hungry and can actually enjoy good-tasting, high-quality meals. It just involves adjusting some of our habits and thought patterns when it comes to food. For instance, you can still eat a hamburger, just not the bun. Why not try some melted cheese and a hearty slice of tomato on top instead? Soups can be a nutritious and filling meal or snack, but not when they are loaded with pasta, potatoes, or rice. Why not try some delicious black bean soup or maybe a homemade cream-based tomato soup without the added sugar so often found in canned varieties? Benefits of This Eating Plan And added benefit of this diet is that it is also a gluten-free diet. The avoidance of wheat, oats, rye, and barley is the same for both diets. If you have also been advised to be on a gluten-free diet, no adjustments need to be made in order for you to eat gluten-free. -
Biological Values of Cultivated Mushrooms – a Review
Acta Alimentaria, Vol. 48 (2), pp. 229–240 (2019) DOI: 10.1556/066.2019.48.2.11 BIOLOGICAL VALUES OF CULTIVATED MUSHROOMS – A REVIEW J. VETTER* Department of Botany, University of Veterinary Sciences, H-1077 Budapest, Rottenbiller u. 50. Hungary (Received: 3 July 2018; accepted: 11 October 2018) Cultivated mushrooms are not only valuable foods of our age (functional foods) but contain certain benefi cial chemical components (high level of K and P, very low content of Na, considerable quantities of some microelements, high and valuable protein but low fat contents). Some cultivated mushrooms have anti-carcinogenic effects caused fi rst of all by polysaccharides (Lentinan: Lentinula edodes) and by triterpenoids (ganoderic acids: Ganoderma lucidum or unsaturated fatty acids: linoleic, linolenic acids); antidiabetic effects, which can improve the sugar metabolism of patients (Coprinus comatus, Ganoderma lucidum, Agaricus bisporus); anti-microbial effects, caused partly by smaller triterpenoids or by higher molecules, i.e. by direct or indirect effects: via stimulation of the immune system. Certain mushrooms have antioxidant effects, provided mostly by higher radical scavenging activity of phenolic (fl avonoid) components. The chemical composition and its biological effects form together the biological values of the cultivated mushrooms. The following review would like to summarize the most important facts of this topic. Keywords: cultivated mushrooms, chemical components, nutritional values, anti-carcinogenic, antidiabetic, antimicrobial, antioxidant effects Mushrooms have been consumed since earliest historical times; Greeks believed that mushrooms provided strength for warriors, the Romans named them as the “Food of the Gods”. In countries of the Orient, certain mushrooms were believed “elixir of life” etc. -

Shiitake Mushroom: a Tool of Medicine
REVIEW ARTICLE Shiitake Mushroom: A Tool of Medicine Taufiqur Rahman1, MBK Choudhury2 1National Mushroom Development Project, Savar, Dhaka 2Directorate General of Health Services, Dhaka ABSTRACT Medicinal mushrooms have an established history of use in traditional oriental therapies. Contemporary research has validated and documented much of the ancient knowledge. Over the last three decades, the interdisciplinary fields of science that study medicinal mushrooms has sprung up and has increasingly demonstrated the potent and unique properties of compounds extracted from a range of species. Currently, the field is being developed into a very fruitful area. Modern clinical practice in Japan, China, Korea and other Asian countries rely on mushroom-derived preparations. Mushrooms have been studied for nutritional and medical purposes for its various potential anti-tumoral and immunomodulatory componests like polysaccharides that have been identified. For medical purposes, mushrooms have been consumed to prevent cancer and cardiac diseases, to improve blood circulation and to reduce blood cholesterol level. Some of these mushrooms have also been used for the treatment of physical and emotional stress, osteoporosis, gastric ulcers and chronic hepatitis, for the improvement of the quality of life of patients with diabetes and especially for the stimulation of immunity. Shiitake has a history of medicinal uses. The mushroom is used as anticarcinogenic, anti- inflammatory, antioxidant, antifungal, antibacterial, antiviral as well as antithrombotic in cardiovascular disorders. This article has been written to throw some light on Shiitake mushroom which has many nutritional values. Many Shiitake preparations came in market containing the active ingredients which can replace many other marketed synthetic medicines and may prove to have promising results with fewer side effects. -
Some Nutritional Properties of Starch and Dietary Fiber in Barley Genotypes Containing Different Levels of Amylose
Some Nutritional Properties of Starch and Dietary Fiber in Barley Genotypes Containing Different Levels of Amylose 2 I. BJORCK,' A.-C. ELIASSON, A. DREWS,' M. GUDMUNDSSON, 2 and R. KARLSSON3 ABSTRACT Cereal Chem. 67(4):327-333 The nutritional properties of starch and dietary fiber (DF) were studied differences in rate of starch hydrolysis were seen between boiled barley in barley genotypes containing different amylose contents: Waxy Campana flours. In contrast, autoclaving produced a slower course of amylolysis (-8% amylose); Alva, Lina, and Glacier normal (normal varieties, 25-27% in Glacier high, despite complete gelatinization. This material also amylose); and Glacier high (-35% amylose). On an equivalent starch contained a somewhat higher level of retrograded enzyme-resistant starch, basis, all barley varieties showed a somewhat higher availability to a- 3% (starch basis). The content of soluble DF was lower in Alva and amylase than a wheat reference. Among the barley flours, starch in the Lina (4.8%) compared with 6.5% in the other genotypes (dwb). The waxy variety was most available to a-amylase when tested raw. With viscosity of suspensions of isolated DF (1.6%, w/v) correlated to the excess water (90% H2 0), the gelatinization was completed at about 80 C, proportion of soluble DF and was in decreasing order: Waxy > Glacier as measured with differential scanning calorimetry, irrespective of high > Alva. When added to a starch suspension, isolated barley DF amylose content. At lower moisture (50% H2 0), the temperature interval preparations were equally effective in reducing the rate of gastric emptying for gelatinization was considerably broadened. -
