Abstract:
Present investigation were carried out to study the effect of different drying techniques on physic-chemical and mineral composition of dried jackfruit seed powder. Jackfruit are catogarized in under utilized fruit but it contain infinite numbers of health benefits for human being. In present investigation fresh jackfruit seed were dried by sun dying and tray drying methods. It was observed that the tray dried jackfruit seed powder contain higer amount of ash, fat, fiber and protein as compare to sun dried jackfruit seed powder. The mineral composition of jackfruit seed powder revealed that the tray drying was found signifacantly superior over sun drying with respect to all minerals. From the research it was concluded that the dried jackfruit seed powder prapred by tray drying was found significantly superior over sun drying method with respect to proximate and mineral composition.
