Description
Mary Nkongho Tanyitiku and Igor Casimir Njombissie Petcheu study powders made from the leaf and seed of Telfairia occidentalis, a West African vine. Type two diabetes keeps rising worldwide, and food makers seek plant ingredients that blunt blood sugar spikes after meals. The pair test what each powder holds and how it behaves.
In their 2026 study, the leaf powder proved rich in fiber and plant compounds, with strong antioxidant power. The seed powder carried much more protein and fat, and it held oil and formed emulsions well. Both powders slowed sugar uptake in lab tests by several routes, from blocking enzymes to trapping glucose. The two look like partners for low-sugar food design.
