Investigating Fresh and Dried Okra (Hibiscus Esculentus) for their Physico-Chemical and Antioxidant Properties: A Comparative Study
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 5
Abstract
This study aimed to determine and compare the proximate composition and antioxidant assays of fresh and dried okra pods and seeds. The okra mucilage extracted from the okra fruit was evaluated for the antioxidant properties. The results of this investigation indicate that both fresh and dried okra seeds contain higher protein (19.20%) and lipid (12.72%) content in comparison to that of protein (5.43%) and lipid (8.19%) contents in okra pods. All the antioxidant assays in methanol indicated that both fresh and dried okra seeds showed higher DPPH reducing power, total phenolic content and FRAP activity compared to that of pods. The results of the functional properties indicate that okra mucilage exhibited good WAC (g water/g dry sample weight), OAC (1.58 g oil/g dry sample weight) and EC (46.87%), thus it can be acceptable alternative for fat and good water absorbing additive in different food formulations.
