Many different plants, including trees, herbs, and spices, have well-documented medicinal properties. The chili pepper (Ch-p), a spicy fruit, contains a wealth of phytonutrients, flavonoids, capsaicinoids, and other naturally occurring bioactive substances. By working together and synergistically, these chemicals show that they are more effective at treating many illnesses than when used alone. Some examples of these conditions include oxidative stress, improper coagulation, obesity, diabetes, inflammation, cancer, and diseases caused by microbes. There has been recent evidence that capsaicinoids, and capsaicin in particular, can alleviate the symptoms of serious viral infections, such as COVID-19. In addition to its potential as an anesthetic, capsaicin allows for the increased use of Ch-p as a topical treatment for pain relief. Not only are the phytochemicals found in Ch-p useful and affordable as phyto-alternatives for illness treatment, but they can also serve as building blocks for new medications. Additionally, the study provides evidence that capsaicin and the TRPV1 receptor work together to alleviate chronic conditions. Despite the lack of medical research on the effects of Ch-p intake, we must confirm the results of animal studies. This review work gives a brief but easy-to-understand summary of the nutritional and biological possibilities of Ch-p-derived products.

The study concentrated on the quantities of vitamin D, calcium, phosphorus, iron, phytate, and oxalate as well as the proximate composition. The food items under analysis had 1.32–10.5 % protein, 1.14–14.14 % fat, 3.67–6.20 % carbohydrate, 1.16–3.15 % dietary fiber, 0.52–5.24 % ash, and 5.11–109.21 g moisture content on a fresh weight basis. The range of vitamin B content in g was 0.01–0 .87 <em>g</em>. Calcium, iron, and sodium had respective mineral contents (mg/100 g) of 1.02–23.13, 0.07–2.12 mg, and 1.00–45 mg. The concentrations of oxalate and phytate (mg/100 g) were 1.02–48.63 mg and 3.15–71.13 mg, respectively. We also looked at the connection between the prevalence of diabetes in Saudi Arabia and the intake of these foods. According to the study, traditional Saudi meals are a wonderful source of healthful Carbohydrate since they are frequently eaten whole grain, which makes them high in fiber, certain vitamins, and minerals. Furthermore, the majority of traditional Saudi foods have a glycemic index (GI) in the low range. These foods may be beneficial for postprandial glycemic and insulinemic responses due to their decreased GI and glycemic load. Given Saudi Arabia's high diabetes prevalence, these advantageous qualities of traditional Saudi foods could greatly enhance dietary management and prevent diabetes mellitus.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":73040,"journal":{"name":"Food chemistry advances","volume":"6 ","pages":"Article 100927"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143445751","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Phase 1: Wheat germ (WG) milling, phase 2: alkaline reaction of PAs with Ca(OH)<sub>2</sub>, phase 3: solubilization of PAs in ethanol, phase 4: ethanol-insoluble bio-compound separation by filtration, and phase 5: precipitation of PA salts using H<sub>3</sub>PO<sub>4</sub>. This protocol takes advantage of the high ethanol solubility of SPD in base form, compared to the ethanol-insoluble protonated form (SPDH+). The precipitation step permits the separation and purification of SPD from other components extracted in the natural matrix. In so doing, it was possible to attain a high SPD content extract. The average SPD content of the extract, performed on 10 separate WG 100 g batches, was 7.6 ± 1.9 %, significantly exceeding previous methods. The industrial scalability of the protocol using 50 kg WG was implemented with minimal adjustments, yielding 9.6 % SPD/extract.
