Ancient Tamil peoples believes “ Unavemarundhu ” which means “Let’s food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food” . Indigenous food system helps to improve the quality of life. Objective : This study was conducted to assess, collect and document the traditional knowledge on indigenous foods followed in the Communities of Tamilnadu. Methods : A cross sectional study was conducted through Focus group discussion and one on one interview method among the 202 selected women Respondents in the age group 30-90 years old. Results : Knowledge assessment of the selected Respondents reveals that the majority of the people from the age group above 80 (71.6%) possess more traditional knowledge. People in the age group of 30-39 (10.5%) years possess least traditional knowledge. Even though we have plenty of awareness about exclusive breast feeding, still most of the Respondents prefer to include the sugar syrup as first food for infants due to superstitious belief. Conclusion : The above study concluded that the traditional knowledge to indigenous food was decreasing gradually, if this situation persists, we may lose our precious traditional knowledge on food in future. Indigenous food preparations are rich in nutraceutical compound which aids for better well being and improve immunity. So it is important to document the indigenous food in order to protect and preserve our traditional knowledge.","PeriodicalId":14158,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Food Science and Biotechnology","volume":"62 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79621412","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These responses may be attributed to whey protein’s effect on the incretins glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP). The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of various doses of whey protein on postprandial glycemic control and incretin responses. Participants with insulin resistance (n=9, mean ± SD; age: 64.3 + 8.1 yrs; BMI: 29.4 + 6.0 kg/m2; fasting plasma glucose: 6.9 + 1.2 mmol/l; HbA1c: 6.4 + 0.6%) completed three randomized treatments. Treatment 1 included 250 ml water + 20 g whey protein (T1), and treatment 2 included 250 ml water + 30 g whey protein (T2). The control treatment included 250 ml water (CON). Each treatment was followed by a 50 g oral glucose tolerance test. Incremental area under the curve (iAUC) for insulin increased from CON to T1 (P<0.01, 45.5%), CON to T2 (P<0.01, 61.0%), and T1 to T2 (P<0.01, 28.5%), with a significant decrease in postprandial AUC for glucose with T2 (P=0.04, -41.2%). Neither GIP nor GLP-1 iAUC increased with T1 or T2 compared to CON. However, postprandial glucose iAUC was significantly reduced for T2 compared to CON (P=0.04, -41.2%).

Fresh species were processed and dried in the electric oven at 105°C. After the organoleptic analysis it was observed that the appearance, odor, color, texture and overall acceptability of traditionally sun dried fishes were 6.75±0.43, 7.00±0.00, 7.12±0.78, 6.62±0.51, 6.75±0.46 and oven dried fishes were 7.75±1.29, 6.87±0.92, 7.25±1.63, 7.5±1.30 and 7.50±1.30, respectively. Significant difference was found between the sun dried and oven dried C. punctatus for the mean values of all organoleptic characteristics.
