    A comprehensive review on processing, therapeutic benefits, challenges, and economic scenario of unconventional oils
    (Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2020-12-01T00:00:00) Srivastava, Yashi; Semwal, Anil D.; Dhiman, Aishwarya
    The review aims to focus on the processing and economic challenges of these oil industries (lack of organized cultivation, collection, processing, research, and market linking) and fetch the attention toward the application of green technology. The present article provides a systematic view to open a new sphere of understanding for unconventional oilseeds with its geographical distribution, chemical composition, health benefits, and research. Further, new sources of unconventional oil (cottonseed, rice bran, sal seed, mango kernel, etc.) may impart an alternative source of edible oil, which can fulfill the country's edible oil deficit with economic contribution. In inference, the combined evidence supports the assertion that unconventional sources of oils may provide an alternatives to major seed oils. Practical applications: Unconventional oils are the new boosting area to upthrust the production of edible oils and reduce the dependence of oil import from other countries. The emerging green technologies for oil extraction shall consider as high oil yield methods. There are many unconventional oil seeds which are still required to be the area for research and commercial application. The present article focused on the market scenario, health benefits of these oil seeds. � 2020 Wiley Periodicals LLC.

    Composition, pasting, functional, and microstructural properties of flours from different split dehulled pulses (dhals)
    (Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2021-03-28T00:00:00) Shevkani, Khetan; Kaur, Manmeet; Singh, Narpinder
    The present study compared flours from six different split dehulled pulses (dhals) with full-fat and defatted soybean flours for color, composition (proximate and mineral), protein molecular weight, microstructure, pasting, and functional properties. In comparison to soybean flours, dhal flours showed higher Fe content, paste viscosities, and bulk density; comparative color properties (L* and b*), aw, Zn content, foaming capacity, and foam stability; but lower emulsifying activity index (EAI), emulsion stability index (ESI), protein content, and ash content. Among different dhal flours, Cicer arietinum showed the highest fat absorption capacity (FAC), EAI, and ESI, while Phaseolus mungo and Pisum sativum flours showed the highest water absorption capacity (WAC) and foaming properties, respectively. Dhal flours also differed for protein molecular weight and starch morphology. Proteins in Vigna unguiculata, P. mungo, and P. aureus flours were high in vicilins of ?130�138�kDa, whereas Pisum sativum, Lens culinaris, and C. arietinum flours contained both vicilins (?135�142kDa) and legumins (?256�332�kDa) as major storage proteins. Principal component analysis revealed negative relation of paste viscosities with protein solubility, lipids, and mineral content while positive with bulk density. Emulsifying properties (EAI and ESI) related positively with FAC, and amount of proteins, lipids, Mn, Cu, K, and Mg, while foaming capacity related positively with WAC and Na content and negatively with protein solubility and concentration of Zn and Fe. Practical applications: Soybean, as flour or meal, is used in food formulation to improve nutritional and sensory properties, but it is listed as a major allergen in foods. The present study provides information on chemical composition and functionality of dhal flours in comparison to defatted and full-fat soy flours, which is useful for partial or complete replacement of soybean with pulse flours. The study also discusses flour characteristics that contribute to functional properties. The results of the present work are useful in identifying pulse flours that can mimic soybean flours/meals for functional properties. � 2021 Wiley Periodicals LLC.

    Composition, bioactive compounds and antioxidant activity of common Indian fruits and vegetables
    (Springer India, 2016) Singh,Jatinder Pal; Kaur, Amritpal; Shevkani, Khetan; Singh, Narpinder
    The present work was undertaken to evaluate the chemical composition (proximate, minerals and dietary fibre), colour parameters, antioxidant activity and polyphenol profiles of different fruits (pomegranate, kinnow, mango, banana, jambolan, grapes and sapodilla) and vegetables (beetroot, brinjal, orange carrot, bitter gourd, mentha and spinach). The amount of insoluble dietary fibre was higher than soluble dietary fibre for all fruits and vegetables. Vegetables showed superior mineral composition (higher amounts of K, Ca and Fe) as compared to fruits. Total phenolic content (TPC) and antioxidant activity (ABTS and DPPH) ranged from 354.9 to 1639.7?mg?GAE/100?g, 2.6 to 5.5 and 3.0 to 6.3?mM?TE/g, respectively for different fruits, while it ranged from 179.3 to 1028.6?mg?GAE/100?g, 2.1 to 4.7 and 2.0 to 5.0?mM?TE/g, respectively for different vegetables. Gallic acid, protocatechuic acid, catechin, caffeic acid, ferulic acid, sinapic acid, quercetin, resveratrol and kaempferol were detected and quantified in different fruits and vegetables. The results highlighted that fruit peels could be used as valuable sources of minerals and polyphenols having high antioxidant activity. ? 2016, Association of Food Scientists & Technologists (India).
