The present study aims at highlighting the nutritive potential of pomegranate peel and its possible utilization as an ingredient choice to nutritionally enrich cookies. Biochemical composition free radical scavenging features powder (PoP) PoP supplemented cookies were measured. supplementation significantly (p < 0.05) improved dietary fibers (0.32-1.96 g/100 g), total phenols (90.7-161.9 mg GAE/100 g) inorganic residues (0.53-0.76 Similarly, significant increase in Ca, K, Fe Zn levels was...
Basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) is one of the most common aromatic herbs, a rich source bioactive compounds, and used extensively to add aroma flavor food. The leaves, both in fresh dried form, are as culinary ingredient different cultures. O. also famous for its therapeutic potential preservation effects. present study investigated cytotoxicity basil at three growth stages (GS), i.e., GS-1 (58 days growth), GS-2 (69 GS-3 (93 growth) using brine shrimp lethality assay. results revealed that was...
Tribulus terrestris L. belongs to the family Zygophyllaceae and integral part of various ancient medicinal systems including Chinese, Indian, European combat health ailments. The aim present study was assess phytochemical constituents, in vitro antioxidant activity using DPPH, FRAP, H2O2 assays, anticancer MTT assay, vivo anti-inflammatory properties T. terrestris. acute sub-acute toxicity extracts exhibiting most biological potential examined murine models. Liquid–liquid partitioning...
Abstract This study aimed at investigating the physicochemical and bread‐making features of dehydrated spinach. Physicochemical composition spinach powder was compared with wheat flour effect supplementation on nutritional composition, dough rheology, quality attributes chapatti were assessed. The results suggested to be holding 8.2% crude fiber, 19.2% protein, 1,304 mg/100g calcium, 40.4 iron. Spinach indicated significantly increased values for hygroscopicity, swelling power, water...
Heavy metal contamination in the food chain is of serious concern due to potential risks involved. The results this study revealed presence maximum concentration heavy metals canal followed by sewerage and tube well water. Similarly, vegetables respective soils irrigated with water were found have higher sewerage- tube-well-watered samples. However, content under was below limits as set FAO/WHO, except for lead canal-water-irrigated spinach (0.59 mg kg(-1)), radish pods (0.44 kg(-1)) bitter...
Cd, Co, Pb, Cu and Ni were analysed in 480 milk samples by flame atomic absorption spectrophotometry. Mean concentrations 0.001, 0.061, 0.014, 0.738 0.028 mg/kg, respectively. concentration of Cd was very low, whereas exceeded the maximum limits established Codex Alimentarius. In some areas, Pb limit as set The highest estimated daily intake (EDI) calculated for male infants (1-3 year) 33.534 µg/kg bw/day, while lowest EDI recorded (0.004 bw/day) adult females above 16 years. results...
A commonly observed chicken meat issue is its lipid oxidation that leads to deterioration of organoleptic and nutritional properties further-processed products. Basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) one the traditional culinary herbs exhibiting food preservation properties. The current study investigated essential oil composition, antioxidant activity in vitro cytotoxic capacity basil indigenous Pakistan. GC–MS analysis revealed presence 59 compounds constituted 98.6% oil. O. (OB-EO) exhibited...
Spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) is a leafy green vegetable that belongs to the family Amaranthus, sub-family Chenopodiaceae. It famous for its low-calorie content and rich nutritional profile of zinc, folic acid, iron, calcium, magnesium, retinol, ascorbic acid. In contrast, pesticide residues like imidacloprid, cypermethrin, bifenthrin, chlorpyrifos, deltamethrin antinutrients alkaloids, phytates, tannins, oxalates are also found in spinach, which inhibit nutrient absorption exert...
Carissa carandas L. (Apocynaceae) is widely distributed in tropical and subtropical regions of Asia including Pakistan, India, Afghanistan, Sri Lanka. C. considered as an integral component traditional medicinal systems to combat several health ailments. The present study aimed assess this plant’s phytochemical contents biological potential by performing sequential extraction, adopting a bioassay-guided approach. powder was extracted with n-hexane remove fatty substances then residues were...
Abstract The aim of the present study was to prepare designer yogurt for hypercholesterolemic subject. yogurts were prepared from sheep and cow milk by fortifying omega fatty acids dietary fibers extruded flaxseed powder (EFSP). EFSP, Streptococcus thermophilus, Lactobacillus delbrueckii sub sp bulgaricus at 2% added formation. water retention capacity, fat adsorption swelling, solubility EFSP 14.38 ± 3.16 g/g, 5.31 0.93 g oil/g, 25.57 1.35 ml/g, 30.53 8.5%, respectively. proximate value...
Food packaging material is the primary element of food industry; therefore, its consideration to sustain quality and safety crucial. Several food-grade materials have been utilized for commodities a long time. Still, these negatively influence safety, shelf life, texture, quality, flavors commodities. Concurrently, biotechnology introduces various techniques produce several edible i.e. polysaccharides protein-based films, intelligent active packaging, which can preserve period inhibit entry...
