The water melon seeds were analyzed for its different properties such as the physico-chemical and functional properties and nutritional properties. The seeds were also incorporated in products to assess the acceptability. Watermelon seeds have been protected with hard cover which is to be removed for the use of seeds in products. The water melon seed revealed as light cream in colour and oval in shape. The average seed length was 8.01±1.02 (mm) and weight was 0.82±0.1(g) and volume 3.42 (ml), respectively. Water absorption capacity (%) found 116.3±0.1 and the least gelatinization capacity was 29.7±0.2. The result of proximate composition of watermelon seeds reveals that moisture content of seed was low 4.9 g, ash content of the seeds was 2.9 g, fat content was good which was 48.9 g, protein content was 32.6 g and energy value was high 619 kcal per 100 g. The powder was incorporated in recipes at 5 per cent, 8 per cent and 10 per cent. The overall acceptability scores of developed product ranged from 6.7 to 7.4 on 9 point hedonic scale. The results of proximate analysis indicated that watermelon seeds had the higher value of protein, fat, ash, oil and fibre contents. It is concluded that water melon seeds flour can be successfully incorporated in vegetable gravy.Keywords

Anti oxidant content of food is one of the key components which help in maintaining the healthy living. Keeping this thing in view, the present study had been conducted on forty one indigenous plants to know their antioxidant potential. Part of the plant utilized by the tribal community were analysed for its vitamins content (i.e. vitamin-C and β-carotene), non- nutrient component (i.e. oxalic acid and tannin) and total per cent of antioxidant inhibition activity by using DPPH. The present study concluded that the indigenous plants consumed in tribal areas are rich in antioxidant content and can be used in daily diet. Hence these indigenous plants may be recommended to achieve healthy living.Keywords

In recent times it human health has assumed an unprecedently important status. A new diet-health paradigm is evolving which places more emphasis on the positive aspects of diet. Foods have now assumed the status of ‘functional’ foods, which should be capable of providing additional physiological benefit, such as preventing or delaying onset of chronic diseases, as well as meeting basic nutritional requirements in form of phytochemicals or antioxidants. Epidemiological studies have consistently shown that phytochemicals in fruits and vegetables have attracted a great deal of attention mainly concentrated on their role in preventing diseases caused as a result of oxidative stress. Keeping this view the present investigation was carried out enhance the value of muffin cake by incorporating Manila Tamarind (Pithecellobium dulce) as a source of antioxidants. The pulverize was incorporated in 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 per cent and the developed muffin cake were subjected to sensory analysis and best acceptable muffin cake were nutritionally analyzed.Keywords

The nutritional status of 80 children (2-5years) in udaipur district was studied. Personal interviews consisting, 24 hour dietary recall of children was used. Amount of nutrients obtained per day from food consumed was calculated and compared with RDA for Indian children. Anthropometric measurements including weight and height were used to identify the physical condition of children. Waterlow’s, Gomez’s classification BMI-for-age determined the extent of mal-nutrition in children and were compared with IAP standards. The height, weight and BMI of all respondents were significantly (p<0.05) lower than the reference value. As per Waterlow’s and Gomez’s classification, only 11.25 per cent of the children were normal. 87.5 per cent of the children were wasted and 41.25 per cent severely malnourished. Food consumption patterns indicated that except fat, diet consumed lacked all major and minor nutrients required for growth of children. Nutritional inadequacies, poverty, lack of infrastructure and poor education of mother resulted in severe mal-nutrition in children. This condition needs careful consideration. Steps like nutritional interventions and women education programmes organized along with governmental and non-governmental groups can help in improving this condition.Keywords

Consumption of various types of fruit provides excellent health benefits because they are good source of phytochemicals and prevent many diseases. The protective action of fruits and vegetables has been attributed to the presence of antioxidants. In this view of above, the present study had been planned with the objectives to develop and assess the nutritional, antioxidant and shelf-life properties of antioxidant rich healthy beverages formulated using star fruit. Moisture, crude protein, crude fat, total ash and carbohydrate content present in Squash was 48.71±0.19 g, 0.2±0.01 g, 0.17±0.005 g, 50.87±0.20 g per 100 g, respectively. Crude fibre was not present in Squash. The energy value was 204.63±0.77 kcal per 100 g. Developed Squash had contained 19.17±0.21 mg calcium, 0.05±0.01 mg potassium and 1.27±0.04 mg magnesium per 100 g. In this sequence, proximate composition of Cordial was; moisture 54.03±0.02 g, total ash 0.15±0.01 g, carbohydrate 45.82±0.01 g and energy 183.28±0.06 kcal per 100 g. Crude protein, crude fat and crude fibre was detected in Cordial. Mineral content in Cordial which includes calcium, potassium and magnesium was 0.05±0.005 mg, 0.05±0.01 mg and 0.02±0.005 mg per 100 g, respectively. The total antioxidant activity, total phenolic content and ascorbic acid present in Squash was 70.91±0.38 %, 261.71±0.49 and 2.09±0.19 mg per 100, g respectively. Total antioxidant capacity inCordial was 67.82±0.26 %. The total phenolic content and ascorbic acid value ofCordial was 244.03±0.49 and 1.46±0.14 mg per 100 g, respectively. The organoleptic scores for Squash and Cordial during storage were slightly decreases during the storage period (0th to 90th days) but the scores were between “liked moderately” to “liked very much”. The effect of storage on total antioxidant capacity of Squash and Cordial revealed that during the storage period the total antioxidant activity was decreases, but it was in the range from 70.91±0.38% to 64.65±0.11 % for Squash and 67.82±0.26% to 60.26±0.15% for Cordial. So, it was concluded that developed Squash and Cordial were found highly acceptable when they were developed using Star Fruits.Keywords
