Lifestyle plays an important role in the development of noncommunicable diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and obesity, in addition to a poor diet loaded with simple carbohydrates and saturated fats. This was a trial with a randomized, analytical, longitudinal, and prospective quasi-experimental design, which was divided into 2 phases: the first with healthy subjects with an age range between 18 to 30 y and normal BMI (18.5-24.9). The second phase was subjected with familial hypercholesterolemia aged between 18 to 45 y and overweight (25-29.9). For those subjects who frequently consumed vegetable oil of both Vitis vinifera L., or Persea americana L. (10 mL), they presented a significant reduction in anthropometric measures and in biochemical variables such as capillary glucose and increased HDLc. The vegetable oils of Persea americana L., and Vitis vinifera L., can act as adjuvants for the treatment of noncommunicable diseases.

Article Synopsis
  • Avocados are nutrient-rich fruits that generate significant waste from seeds, which have potential applications due to their health benefits.
  • Preservation methods like drying are crucial for extending the shelf life of these seeds and maintaining their bioactive compounds.
  • The study tested various pre-treatments and drying methods, finding that roasting followed by hot air drying maximizes quality, while ascorbic acid treatment with fluidized bed drying optimizes nutritional retention, highlighting the seeds' value in the food industry.
