Biscuits are convenient food products that are gaining popularity in both rural and urban areas worldwide. Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) was known as the \"golden grain\", and it is one of the most nutritious grains. This work aims to enrich biscuits with different proportions of quinoa flour (Q.F.) (20, 25 and 30 %), garden cress seeds (5, 7.5 and 10 %) with 25% Q.F., and anise powder (3, 4 and 5 %) with 25% Q.F., and study their effect on biscuits chemical composition, sensory properties, physical properties, and hardness. The results of the study show a significant increase in protein, moisture, fiber, ash, calcium and phosphorus (7.5% garden cress seeds, 25% Q.F.). Biscuits. (3% anise powder, 25% Q.F.)

Appropriate lifestyle pattern and behavior interventions are crucial to weight loss success but maintaining is extremely challenging. The current study aimed to evaluate the effect of mixing some spices (cinnamon, cardamom, turmeric, ginger, and clove) on biochemical parameters and body weight gain in obese rats. This work was carried out on (40) Adult male Wister albino rats (weighing 120 ± 20 g) randomly classified into five groups. control (c-), group (2) was fed with High Fat Diet (c+). group (3,4, and 5) fed with HFD + different mixing of spices (cinnamon, cardamom, turmeric, ginger, and clove) throughout the experimental period of 8 weeks. Chemical composition, Mineral's content, fatty acid, phenolic compounds, biochemical signs, Seram glucose level, body weight gain, liver & kidney function and histopathological examinations were determined. The results showed that there was a significant difference in Chemical composition and fatty acids content between the three tested samples. according to Biochemical Parameters treated groups with the three mixes shows a significant decrease in Cholesterol, Triglyceride, and LDL-c, and a significant increase in HDL-c. especially the group fed on mix 1 reported a great improvement in Cholesterol, Triglyceride, HDL-c, and LDL-c, compared with groups fed on mix 2 or mix 3. the three treated groups showed a significant improve in Seram glucose level. and a significant decrease in (BWG) especially the group fed on mix 3. it could be noticed that the mixing several medical spices together will provides more significant effect in treating obesity, hyperlipidemia, and high blood glucose levels especially mix (1) was the most effective mix.

Methods: 56 adult male albino rats were divided into two main groups; the first main group (7 rats) was fed on basal diet and was kept as a negative control group, the second main group (49 rats) were injected with alloxan to induce diabetes and were fed on basal diet. Diabetic rats were divided into seven groups, first group was kept as a positive control group while the other (6) groups divided to groups (1-2) were fed on basal diet + Samwa extract (150-250) ml/kg of rat weight, respectively, and groups (3-4) were fed on basal diet + curry extract (350-450(ml/kg of rat weight) respectively, and groups (5-6) were fed on basal diet + the extracts of Samwa and curry mixture (150-350, 250-450) ml/kg respectively at the end of the experiment (6 weeks). Rats were fasted for 12 hours before slaughter and collected blood samples to obtain Fasting serum glucose, lipid profile and (pancreas - kidneys and liver) functions. Results: The results showed that the best increase in body weight in group 4, and the best results of feed efficiency ratio in group 7, and the mixture of Samwa and curry in group 8 achieved a significant decrease in fasting glucose, about lipemia the best result of cholesterol in groups 7-8 and triglycerides in group 8 and The best results were low-density lipoprotein in group 7, very low-density lipoprotein in group 8, and high-density lipoprotein in group 6, and there was a significant improvement in liver and kidney functions, and the best results were for examination of pancreatic, kidney and liver tissues for group 8. Conclusion: The results showed that the mixture of Samwa and curry extracts achieved better results than the extract of individual leaves. Therefore, we recommend taking the mixture of Samwa and curry leaves to control the high level of glucose and lipid imbalance in diabetic patients.
