Development of food for special dietary uses of diabetes based on oyster mushroom and brown rice

Diabetes patients often struggle to meet their energy requirements, prompting the suggestion of utilizing Food for Special Dietary Uses (FSDU). Previous research has shown the efficacy of oyster mushrooms’ B-glucan in controlling hyperglycemia and insulin resistance. Brown rice, high in magnesium and fiber with a low glycemic index, is known to lower blood glucose levels. Utilizing both ingredients in FSDU may provide products with recommended energy value, nutrient ingredients, and glycemic index. This study aimed to measure the energy, protein, fat, carbohydrate, fiber, glucose, and glycemic index of four mixed formulations of oyster mushrooms and brown rice, along with a control.The study used a true experimental design with a completely randomized research design. The formulations included: P1=9% mixture of moringa and fish flour, P2=10% mixture of carrot and fish flour, F3=11% mixture of moringa and tempeh flour, and F4=12% tempeh flour. The total energy was measured using various methods: adiabatic oxygen bomb calorimeter for energy, Kjeldahl for protein, Soxhlet for fat, by-difference for carbohydrates, AOAC enzymatic-gravimetric for total dietary fiber, anthrone for total sugar, and blood glucose tests at 0, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, and 120 minutes post-test-food ingestion for glycemic index measurements. Statistical analysis was performed using the One-Way ANOVA and Kruskal-Wallis tests.The research results indicate significant differences in energy, protein, fat, carbohydrates, total sugar, and fiber values among groups (p
