Journal Title: World Journal of Advance Healthcare Research - Year 2018, Vol 2, Issue 5
Abstract
Citrus fruits peel known as by products, are powerful source of healthy substances such as phytochemicals, antioxidants and nutrients. The research focus to evaluate nutritional, physico-chemical and antioxidant analysis of processed (steaming, boiling, blanching, sun drying and oven drying) kinnow and mosambi peel powder. The proximate analysis shows the presence of the moisture, fat, fiber, protein and carbohydrate in various concentrations. Physico-chemical properties were shows high in kinnow sun dry processed and oven dry peel powder. Antioxidants were evaluated and show the high vitamin C content in blanched kinnow sun dry peel powder. Phenol content was high in boiled sundry kinnow peel powder. Ferric reducing ions were high in boiled and blanched kinnow sun dry peel powder. All the antioxidants were shown the high presence in steamed sundry mosambi peel powder. Blanched and steamed oven dry kinnow peel powder was shown high vitamin C and ferric reducing ions. Total phenol content was high in boiled and blanched sundry kinnow and mosambi peel powder. Blanched oven dry mosambi peel powder was shows high vitamin C content. Boiled and steamed oven dry mosambi peel powder was shown high ferric reducing ions. Results recommended the consumption of these peels of desired physiochemical properties as sources of food fibres or low-calorie bulk ingredients in food application.
