Novel high protein-energy balls formulated with date paste enriched with Samh seeds powder and/or different milk protein origins: effect on protein digestibility in vitro and glycemic response in young adults

Combining Samh seed powder with dairy proteins to create protein-energy balls using Sukkari date paste results in nutritious snacks that are rich in amino acids, fatty acids, dietary fibers, and antioxidant compounds. These snacks also have a low glycemic response and high protein digestibility <i>in vitro</i>. Therefore, high-protein energy balls made from date paste enriched with Samh seed powder, along with either camel milk or whey protein powders, are recommended as a protein and energy source for healthy young adults who do not experience post-meal hyperglycemia.
