The study aimed to investigate the effect of microwave heating combined with hot air (70 °C) at different application times (0, 90 &180 s,) on the colour, digestible a soluble protein, functional and pasting properties, antioxidant capacity of Samh seeds (8, 12 & 16 % moisture content). The results indicated that microwave heating caused a significant change in Samh seed's colour and enhanced the protein solubility of the seeds, and the functional properties and viscosities of the Samh seeds. Moreover, the results showed that the moisture content of the Samh seeds and application time significantly impact the seeds' quality parameters. However, the partial least square (PLS) model validated that the microwave treatments of the samh seed with (16 %, 180 s) were treated with microwave energy combined with hot air circulation Accordingly, microwaves may offer the potential of being an effective emerging technology for improving the quality and functional characteristics of Samh seeds.

The application of biological materials in synthesizing nanoparticles has become significant issue in nanotechnology. This research was designed to assess biogenic silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) fabricated using two aqueous extracts of (Arabic Gum) (A-AgNPs) and (Samh) seed (O-AgNPs), which were used as reducing and capping agents in the NPs development, respectively. The current study is considered as the first report for AgNP preparation using extract.

The aim of present investigation was to study the effects of Mesembryanthemum forsskalei Hochst (Samh) seeds in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. Thirty rats were administrated with streptozotocin to induce diabetes and 6 rats were used as untreated diabetic control. Diabetic rats were fed with 5 and 15% Samh seed alone and in combination with fatty diet i.

Thirty streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic of Wistar Albino rats were divided into five groups. The rat groups received different food (natural diet or high fat content diet) supplemented with 10% or 15% of samh seeds for 6 weeks. At the end of the study, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), alkaline phophatase (ALP) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) enzymes have been measured in diabetic rats liver.
