Garden cress seeds: A superior grain for the development of nutrient rich cutlets

Abstract

Garden cress seeds are highly nutritious grain, possessed galactogogue, antioxidant, thermogenic and anti inflammatory activities and prevent anaemia, PEM, osteomalacia, and osteoporosis. This study was aimed to utilize GCS for its maximum potential for the development of nutrients rich cutlets. GCS supplemented cutlets were developed by incorporating 10, 20 and 30 per cent of roasted GCS and these were evaluated for sensory parameters, proximate composition, dietary fiber components and total and in vitro bio-accessible minerals. In terms of sensory parameters, GCS supplemented cutlets were adjudged between 'liked moderately' to 'liked very much' (Figure -1) and were acceptable by the judges. The contents of moisture, crude protein, crude fat, crude fibre, ash, total carbohydrates, total dietary fiber calcium and iron of type-I, type-II and type-III cutlets ranged from12.

“… Total minerals: Calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, and zinc in acid digested samples (diacid mixture (HNO3:HClO4; 5:1 vol/vol)) were determined by Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer 2,380, Perkin Elmer (USA) according to the modified method earlier mentioned (John et al., 2020; Rani et al., 2008). Available minerals : Available calcium and zinc (in vitro) were extracted and determined by Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer according to the method as earlier mentioned (John et al, 2020). Two g finely ground sample was rehydrated with 3 ml of distilled water.…”

“…Then, 2.5 ml of suspension containing 0.5% pancreatin and 5% bile were added and the contents were again incubated at 37°C for an hour in an environmental shaker. Total volume was made to 50 ml with distilled water, centrifuged, and filtrate was oven dried, digested in the diacid mixture, and preceded for the estimation of calcium and zinc by Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer. Iron availability (in vitro): Ionizable iron in the samples was extracted using pepsin‐HCl ((0.5% pepsin in 0.1 N HCl)) according to the procedure mentioned earlier (John, Rani, Sangwan, & Sonia, 2020). Free form of iron in the filtrate reacted with αʹ, αʹ‐dipyridyl was determined as described by AOAC (2010).…”
