About this study

Official title: Intervention Study on the Health Beneficial Effects of Bread Enriched With Black Currant Seed Press Residues in Healthy Subjects

The study was performed to investigate the effects of the consumption of black currant seed press residues, which were baked into bread.

Read the detailed description

Berry seeds are a by-product of berry fabrication (e. g. to juices or jam). In order to maintain their functionality and long life span, berry seeds need to contain cell stabilizing ingredients such as vitamins and polyphenols. Since it seems to be a valuable source of health beneficial substances in human nutrition, commercial use should be found. Therefore, seeds were pressed (seed press residue), ground and baked into bread for consumption.

Black currant seed press residues are rich in tocopherols and also contain anthocyanins; both act as antioxidants. Additionally there is 50% fibre in the residue, soluble and insoluble fibre in equal shares.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. oxidant/antioxidant status of the test person

    Measured: after 1, 5, and 9 weeks

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. tocopherol intake, tocopherol faecal excretion and serum tocopherol concentration

    Measured: after 1, 5, and 9 weeks

  2. fiber intake and excretion

    Measured: after 1, 5, and 9 weeks

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

oxidant/antioxidant status of the test person (time frame: after 1, 5, and 9 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00662766, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?
