Phytochemical and nutrient analysis of borassus flabellifer fruit and formulation of products
Keywords:
Borassus flabellifer, phyto constituents, flavanoids, saponins, terpenoidsAbstract
Consumer’s interest in healthy eating, in the last decades, shifted towards the potential health benefits of fruits. In the present study, the Borassus flabellifer fruit was selected for the preparation of Borassus flabellifer fruit incorporated payasam in different ratios and a standard was prepared to compare the samples. The product was prepared using standard procedures. Sensory evaluation was done by 20 selected panel members and the best product was selected. The Borassus flabellifer fruit was then subjected to phytochemical and nutrient analysis. The phytochemical analysis of Borassus flabellifer fruit revealed the presence of several bioactive phyto constituents such as flavanoids, phenol, alkaloid, saponins, tannin, and terpenoids. Nutrients such as total protein, total carbohydrate, calcium and phosphorus were also analyzed.
