.............. in fenugreek seeds have hypoglycemic effect.

  • A.Bromelain
  • B.Curcumin
  • C.Trigonelline
  • D.Tannins

Answer: C

The hypoglycaemic compound in fenugreek is trigonelline.

Fenugreek (methi) seeds lower blood glucose through several components: the alkaloid trigonelline, the amino acid 4-hydroxyisoleucine, which stimulates insulin release, and their high content of soluble fibre (galactomannan), which slows sugar absorption. Trigonelline is the one listed here.

The others come from different sources and are known for other actions. Bromelain is a protein-digesting enzyme from pineapple, curcumin is the yellow pigment and antioxidant of turmeric, and tannins are astringent polyphenols in tea and many plants.
