Abstract:

Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum), one of the spices that are esoteric food adjuncts that are used to enhance flavor and color, also changes the texture of food. This seed spice is also used as an antibiotic, stomach stimulant, anorexia treatment, antidiabetic medication, and galactagogue in many traditional systems. Several health-promoting physiological properties of fenugreek seeds have been discovered in animal studies and human trials in recent decades. Antidiabetic action, hypocholesterolemia impact, antioxidant efficacy, digestive stimulating action, and hepatoprotective effect are just a few of them. Among these favorable physiological effects, fenugreek's antidiabetic and hypocholesterolemia properties, both of which are primarily due to the intrinsic dietary fiber content, have nutraceutical potential. The nutraceutical potential of fenugreek seeds is discussed in this article.
