Abstract
In the present study, the effect of feeding of diets containing 12% and 18% water soluble gummy fibre and 5% and 10% water insoluble neutral detergent fibre (NDF) isolated from Syzygium cumini seeds were carried out in normal and alloxan treated diabetic rats for 21 days. The results obtained from present study indicates that incorporation of 12% and 18% water soluble gummy fibre significantly reduces blood glucose, notably improved glucose tolerance and decreased activity of intestinal enzymes i.e. amylase and invertase while 5% and 10 % water insoluble neutral detergent fibre (NDF) did not exhibit any hypoglycaemic effect in both normal and treated diabetic rats.
