Abstract:
The term hyperlipidemia is used to describe elevated lipid levels such as cholesterol, low density lipoproteins and triglycerides within the body. Hyperlipidemia is also cause of other ailments such as heart and liver diseases that can be fatal. The present study was aimed to develop healthy snack cookies and investigate its effect on hyperlipidemia. Oats-wheat composite flour cookies enriched with Nigella Sativa (kalonji) were developed. Sensory evaluation of cookies was performed. Proximate analysis of cookies was done. Results revealed the moisture, ash, protein, fat, crude fiber and carbohydrate content of cookies were 9.17, 2.17, 16.97, 10.47, 1.82 and 59.40 percent respectively.70 individuals of 25-45 years were included in the study divided equally in two groups, control and treatment group with 35 participants in each group. Treatment group was given intervention for 30 days whereas control group didn't receive any intervention. It was observed that intake of cookies for 30 days significantly reduced weight in participantsand consequently BMI p<0.01. The Total cholesterol and triglycerides showed significant reduction p<0.01 after clinical trial of 30 days. Similarly LDL showed significant reduction too p=0.041. No significant reduction was seen in VLDL p=0.630. On the other hand HDL levels were elevated significantly p<0.01. Results revealed an overall improvement in parameters of Lipid profile in hyperlipidemic patients. In conclusion intake of a healthy snack in form of cookies can play a very important role in weight management and as well as in improvement of biochemical markers such as lipid profile. Just by replacing unhealthy snacks with a healthy one overall health can be improved.
