Hypoglycemic activity and Storage Quality of Fenugreek Sprouts

Sprouts are organic foods that are now-a-days gaining a great deal of importance as functional foods. Such types of foods possessing bioactive ingredients have been associated with prevention of oxidative stress related diseases like diabetes and hypertension. In the current study two different cultivars of fenugreek viz. ‘Methi local’ and ‘Methi Shalimar Improved’ were analyzed for the effect of food grade nano particle Chitosan, Folic acid and Vitamin C on the physio-chemical as well as overall antidiabetic activity of fenugreek at different stages of sprouting.
