| dc.description.abstract | Wood apple is a cheap, highly nutritious and seasonally available fruit that can be preserved for human consumption throughout the year. Therapeutic study was conducted to know the efficacy of wood apple fruit. Wood apple fruits were analyzed for proximate, minerals and vitamins. Value added products viz., leather, jujubes, candy, juice, sauce and Jaljeera were prepared. Products were evaluated organoleptically and shelf life study was carried out. Nutrients present in wood apple (per 100 g) were 64.63 g of moisture, 6.78 g of protein, 1.38 g of fat, 5.00 g of crude fibre, 20.66 g of carbohydrates, 1.55 g of ash and 122 K.cal of energy. Minerals viz calcium, phosphorous, iron, zinc, copper, manganese, sodium and potassium were found to be 122 mg, 110 mg, 0.38 mg, 0.50 mg, 0.25 mg, 37.85 mg, 0.05 mg and 2.64 mg, respectively. Vitamin C was 5.00 mg per 100g. With the guidance of medical officer, fifteen diabetic subjects were randomly selected from UAS, dispensary, Bengaluru. For intervention study, general information, health history, dietary pattern of the subjects was collected by personal interview method and 150ml of Jaljeera was given to the subjects for a period of ninety days. Anthropometric and biochemical parameters were recorded for the subjects before and after the therapeutic study. Significant reduction of fasting blood sugar level, both systolic and diastolic blood pressure as compare to initial was observed. From this study, it can be concluded that, wood apple can be utilized for therapeutic and development of value added products. | en_US |
