Abstract

Processing of fruit and vegetable produces large quantity of waste particularly citrus processing produces waste in the form of peel, seeds and pomace which can be the major source of phyto-chemicals and dietary fibres. The objective of the research was to utilize the orange pomace in the form of powder in baked item. The orange pomace powder was used in various proportion viz., 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20 per cent levels for incorporation in cookies by replacing the maida. The orange pomace powder and maida were analyzed for the proximate composition. The cookies were prepared and analyzed for its physical (diameter, thickness, and spread ratio), chemical (moisture, protein, fat, ash, fibre) and sensorial characteristics (appearance, colour, flavour, taste, texture). On the basis of overall sensory attributes cookies prepared with 10 per cent of orange pomace powder was recorded higher acceptability as compared to other samples. The spread ratio of the cookies also decreased as the per cent of orange pomace powder was increased with the increase in powder concentration the protein, fat content was gradually, decreasing and the dietary fibre. Orange pomace powder can be substituted upto 10 per cent in wheat flour to prepare orange pomace powder cookies without adversely affecting overall quality attributes.

Abstract

Studies were conducted for incorporation of orange pomace powder in cake. The orange pomace powder was used in various proportion viz., 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20 per cent levels for incorporation in cake by replacing the maida. The orange pomace powder and maida was analyzed for the proximate composition. The cakes were prepared and were analyzed for its physical (specific volume, volume and weight), chemical (moisture, protein, fat, ash, fibre) and sensorial characteristics (appearance, colour, flavour, taste, texture). On the basis of overall sensory attributes, cakes prepared with 10 per cent of orange pomace powder were recorded higher acceptability as compared to other samples. The increase in powder concentration, the protein and fat content was decreased while the dietary fibre was increased. It was concluded that orange pomace powder and refined wheat flour can be substituted upto 10 per cent in refined wheat flour to prepare orange pomace powder without adversely affecting quality attributes.

Abstract

Moringa oleifera L. belongs to a family Moringaceae commonly referred to as "The Miracle Tree", 'drumstick tree' or 'horseradish tree'.This research study was aimed at investigating the morphological and nutritional characteristics of different parts of Moringa oleifera. Fresh sample of Moringa leaves, flowers and pods were collected, sorted, blanched and dried. Colour, length, width measurement of Moringa leaves and flowers while average weight and number of seeds per pod were analysed to determine morphological characteristics of Moringa oleifera. The per cent yield from different parts were also investigated.The per cent yield of blanched powders are comparatively lower then blanched samples. The blanched and dried plant samples were analysed separately for proximate composition using appropriate methods. The chemical composition of different parts of Moringa such as leaves, flower and pod for their moisture content, crude fat, crude protein, carbohydrates, crude fibre and ash were 5.4, 3.4, 28, 43, 10.2, 8.5 per cent ( for leaves); 5.7, 1.6, 24.1, 53.6, 7.5, 5.9 per cent (for flowers); 5.2, 0.5, 17, 26, 34. 1 per cent (for pods) observed, respectively.
