Abstract

Hot-water extract from selected medicinal herbs of diabetes prescription was mixed with brown rice and pearled barley flours and extruded to prepare a reconstituted grain for diabetes millitus patients. Even though the cooked reconstituted grain containing medicinal herb extract was somewhat different from cooked ordinary rice in textural properties measured by texture analyzer, it was estimated to be organoleptically acceptable in sensory parameters. The reconstituted grain added with medicinal herb extract reduced the rate of dialysis of glucose evaluated by in vitro dialysis experiment. The effects of reconstituted grain diet on blood glucose levels in diabetes patients were studied during 3-week period. Compared to normal diet, the reconstituted grain diet for 2 weeks significantly decreased the fasting and 2-hr postprandial blood glucose levels in diabetes patients by 14% and 10%, respectively. These results suggested that the reconstituted grain could be used as an effective therapeutic diet for the control of diabetes mellitus.

당뇨병의 한방요법에 사용되는 생약재들을 열수추출하여 한약액으로 조제하고 이를 곡물 베이스인 현미와 보리가루에 혼합한 후 압출성형하여 쌀알과 유사한 형태의 재성형 당뇨쌀로 제조하였다. 한방 생약재 추출물을 첨가한 당뇨쌀을 백미와 함께 각각 1 : 1의 비율로 취반한 혼용밥은 관능적으로 양호하게 평가되었으며 이는 한약액을 복용하는 방법에 비해 섭취가 간편하고 기호선이 개선된 식이요법으로 활용성을 제시해 주었다. 당뇨쌀은 in vitro 포도당의 투과를 지연시키는 효과가 있었으며, 당뇨병 환자에게 당뇨밥의 섭취 전 후의 3주간 혈당을 분석한 결과 당뇨쌀 섭취후의 공복시와 식후 2시간 평균 혈당이 떨어져 당뇨병 환자의 혈당강하에 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다.
