Folate's role in constipation explored
We formulated a functional food product designed specifically for elderly individuals with Parkinson's disease, focusing on the common issue of constipation. Our approach involved creating a muffin recipe enriched with inulin, cacao, and Moringa, all of which play a role in supporting digestive health.

In this study, we conducted physical-chemical analyses to assess the nutritional components of the muffins, including soluble and insoluble fiber content. Our findings revealed a significant increase in fiber levels compared to control samples, which may alleviate constipation symptoms.

While we noted that the incorporation of inulin and cacao improved the muffins' nutritional value—particularly their dietary fiber and antioxidant properties—it’s essential to clarify that the specific role of folate, a nutrient present in these muffins, was not isolated in relation to constipation. However, the overall enhancements in fiber and nutrition could positively impact bowel health.

Sensory evaluations demonstrated a strong preference from participants, particularly for the muffins enriched with inulin and cacao, indicating potential acceptance of these products among the target population. Our study suggests that muffins fortified with these ingredients could be a practical dietary strategy to aid in managing constipation in individuals facing the challenges of Parkinson’s disease.
