This study was conducted to determine the influence of incorporation of jackfruit seed flour in cakes. Jackfruit being abundantly available in Meghalaya during the spring-summer season is one of the most popular fruit in the state. However, the seeds often tend to be discarded or underutilised. Incorporation of jackfruit seed flour in recipes such as cakes will serve as a rich source of protein, starch and dietary fibres and can also be regarded as an abundant yet cheap source of the said nutrients. The seeds of mature, unripe jackfruit were used for making the cakes. Three variations of cakes with the incorporation of different amounts of the seed flour i.e., 20 per cent, 30 per cent and 40 per cent by replacing refined wheat flour were compared with a control. The cakes were evaluated on their sensory characteristics i.e., colour, appearance, texture, taste, aroma and overall acceptability. It was observed that incorporation of the seed flour at 30 per cent was the most acceptable with no affect on the sensory characteristics. It was concluded that refined wheat flour can be substituted with jackfruit seed flour at 30 per cent in preparation of cakes.

Abstract


This study was conducted to determine the influence of incorporation of jackfruit seed flour in cakes. Jackfruit being abundantly available in Meghalaya during the spring-summer season is one of the most popular fruit in the state. However, the seeds often tend to be discarded or underutilised. Incorporation of jackfruit seed flour in recipes such as cakes will serve as a rich source of protein, starch and dietary fibres and can also be regarded as an abundant yet cheap source of the said nutrients. The seeds of mature, unripe jackfruit were used for making the cakes. Three variations of cakes with the incorporation of different amounts of the seed flour i.e., 20 per cent, 30 per cent and 40 per cent by replacing refined wheat flour were compared with a control. The cakes were evaluated on their sensory characteristics i.e., colour, appearance, texture, taste, aroma and overall acceptability. It was observed that incorporation of the seed flour at 30 per cent was the most acceptable with no affect on the sensory characteristics. It was concluded that refined wheat flour can be substituted with jackfruit seed flour at 30 per cent in preparation of cakes.
