Use of high fiber waste to produce low-fat baton saleh and its metabolic effects in rats

ABSTRACT

Low-fat baton saleh was produced by partial replacement of butter oil of the control with different sources of fiber-based fat replacer. The best five treatment [sensory evaluation basis] as well as control were evaluated in rats to test their effects on serum lipids [total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, triglycerides and VLDL], fatty acid composition of rat liver and kidney lipids, body weight gain and organs weights. Feeding rats low-fat baton saleh diets prepared with different fat replacers and two level [30% for rice bran, pomegranate peels and peanut hulls, 45% for guava seeds and chickpea hulls] resulted in a significant decrease in total serum cholesterol, low- density lipoprotein [LDL-cholesterol, triglycerides [TG] and VLDL compared to rats fed the control diet. Liver and kidney lipids in rats fed the low-fat baton saleh diets had lower percentages of palmitics, stearic, myristic, and palmitoleic acids compared to the control. In contrast, percent compositions of linoleic and linolenic acids were greater in rats fed low-fat baton saleh diets
