Did you know that dietary fiber is more than just a digestive aid?

Found in plant cell walls, fiber types like cellulose, hemicellulose, pectic polysaccharides, resistant starch, and lignin play a crucial role in preventive health.

📌 Why it matters:

Not digested in the small intestine, fiber reaches the large intestine where it's fermented by gut microbes.

This process produces short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) like butyrate, which are: ✅ Anti-inflammatory
✅ Antitumor
✅ Great for overall gut health


📉 Unfortunately, modern diets are low in fiber, contributing to rising cases of: 🔹 Diabetes
🔹 Obesity
🔹 Other chronic health issues

📚 Current research is bringing dietary fiber and resistant starch into the spotlight — and it's time we take it seriously.

👉 Food technologists, nutritionists, and health professionals — let's drive awareness, product innovation, and education around the power of dietary fiber.

🕵‍♀️Let's learn about different types of vials that are typically used to store laboratory samples or sensitive biological material and reagents.

1]. THE PURPLE ONE (oka "lumenela") :-
-These bottles are generally used for hematology tests where whole blood required for analysis.
- This tube contains EDTA(Ethylenediamine tetra acetic acid) which act as potent anticoagulant by binding to calcium.

2]. THE GREY ONE:-
-It is only used for two tests.( glucose and lactate test)
- It is used for biochemistry tests.
- This contains two main agents , sodium fluoride acts as Antiglycolytic agent to ensure that no further breakdown occur within the sample after it is taken.
Potassium act as anticoagulant.

3].THE BLUE ONE:-
-It is used for Coagulation test.
- This tube contains sodium citrate which act as reversible anti -coagulant by binding to calcium ions in the blood & disrupting clotting cascade.

4]. THE RED ONE:-
-These bottles are generally used for immunology, serological, blood bank (croos match) test.

📋let's learn how we do qualitative test for fats.

🫗Triglycerides are esters of Glycerol and long-chain fatty acids(SCFA) .

•At room temperature, liquid triglycerides are called oils (usually of plant origin).
while solid ones are fats (typically of animal origin).

•Simple triglycerides have three Identical acyl group, where as mixed triglycerides have different acyl group.

•Polyunsaturated fats or oils contain fatty acids with two or more double bonds.

•Oils are glycerides of unsaturated fatty acids.

•Both fats and oils are insoluble in water.

PROCEDURE:-
•Add a few crystals (0.5 g) of dry potassium hydrogen sulphate to 3 ml of mustard oil /ghee taken in test tube and heat gently.
•A Pungent smell confirms the presence of an oil or a fat.

📌 HOW PROTEIN DIGESTED ?

In simple words -
The peptidase(enzyme ) present in the intestinal juice brings about the final breakdown of protein and polypeptides to amino acids.

The dipeptidase and tripeptidase break up dipeptides and tripeptides
respectively to amino acids.

The amino peptidase act on the linkage of terminal amino acids processing free amino group.

📌 Litti Chokha is a nutritious and filling dish that can be a great addition to a healthy diet:

➡️Litti Chokha is high in fiber, as it is made primarily from whole wheat flour.

➡️Dietary fiber aids digestion, promotes gut health, and helps regulate blood sugar levels.

➡️The dish is also rich in vitamins and minerals, as the chokha (mashed vegetable mixture) is made with ingredients like roasted eggplant, tomatoes, and potatoes.

➡️These vegetables are excellent sources of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that support overall health.

➡️ Litti Chokha is a satiating and flavorful meal that can help prevent overeating, making it beneficial for weight management.

➡️ The combination of the filling litti and the spicy, tangy chokha creates a satisfying eating experience.

➡️Additionally, since litti and chokha are typically baked or roasted rather than fried, the dish is relatively low in unhealthy fats compared to many other snacks.

➡️The use of spices and herbs also adds flavor without the need for excessive oil or butter.

➡️In summary, the high fiber, nutrient density, and satiating properties of Litti Chokha make it a nutritious and healthy snack option that can be a beneficial addition to one's diet.
