Nutrient, Anti-Nutrient And Sensory Properties Of Products (Juices And Flours) Made From Jackfruit (Artocarpus hetrophyllus), Watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) And Lemon (limon).
ABSTRACT
The
study assessed the nutrient, antinutrient and sensory properties of products
(juices and flours) made from Jackfruit (Artocarpus
hetrophyllus), watermelon (Citrullus lanatus)
pulps and seeds respectively and lemon(limon).
It was an experimental study where the proximate, vitamins, minerals,
antinutrients and sensory propertiees of the products were examined.The moisture content of
the fruit juice and flour samples ranged from 78.14-90.06% and 7.53-8.66%
respectively. The fat content values of the juice and flour samples ranged from
0.19 % - 1.33% and 2.38-19.46 respectively. The iron values for juice and
flours ranged from 2.72-22.02mg/100g and 2.74-52.74mg/100g respectively.
The juice blends had good value of potassium 14.68-167.06mg/100g. The sodium
value of both juices and flours were low, 0.13-0.43 and 0.05-0.08 respectively.
All the samples contained considerable amounts of Ca, Mg, K,Fe, Zn, as well as
vitamins A and C. The juices and flours
were low in all antinutritional factors studied. The sensory properties of all
the products (cakes, breads and stiff dough-the one eaten with soup) were
acceptable by the panelists. The investigation also showed that jackfruit and
watermelon seed flours contained considerable amount of nutrients and this will
encourage the cultivation of these fruits especially jackfruit which is less
utilized. Therefore, they can be used in food enrichment to compensate the
shortage of certain nutrients. It was concluded that, formulations of the study
blends of juices and flours were nutritionally rich. Therefore, consumption of
these products will protect human body from several diseases.
