Dhyani Nutritional, food and energy value of Perilla frutescens: an underutilised traditional oilseed crop of Western Himalaya, India KEYWORDS: biochemical, bhangjeera, nutrients, oilseeds Perilla frutescens has been a food supplement of hill people of Himalayan region of Uttarakhand. Due to Abstractinsufficient utilisation techniques, poor research and marketing strategies, this oil seed crop species always remain neglected. Here an effort has done to highlight the potential of this underutilised species for its better utilisation and conservation through identifying the nutritional, food and energy value of Perilla. The analysed results showed that Perilla seed contains a total of 7.6% moisture and 3.5% of ash contents. Proximate nutrient revealed a good composition of fat (43.57%), fibre (21.54%) carbohydrate (19.48%), protein (11.14%), lipids (15.43%) and organic matter (94.5%). Seed also contained imperative macronutrients in which the amount of potassium was 497.35mg/100g, magnesium was 322.43mg/100g, calcium was 226.33mg/100g and phosphorus was 212.25mg/100g. Micronutrients included significant amount of iron (16.22mg), zinc (11.6mg) and copper (1.04mg) per 100g. Besides, the energy value of 1091.45kJ was estimated for 100 g of seeds. Present investigation could be an informative database on nutritional and food potential of Perilla and could be a platform for researchers, scientists, pharmaceutical and nutraceutical companies to explore possibilities of endorsing, conserving and commercialising this underutilised traditional oilseed crop.

P. frutescens is frequently insufficient research and development activities and used as one of the most popular garnishes and food partly because nutritional values of these crops are colorants in some Asian countries. Generally the seeds known to the wider community and local farmers are and leaves are consumed and utilised as a food source. unable to meet their economic development aspirations This is one of the most important oil crops in Korea.

  • Sesame Allergy: the Facts
    Sesame Allergy: The Facts This Factsheet aims to answer some of the questions which you and your family might have about living with allergy to sesame seeds. Our aim is to provide information that will help you minimise risks and know how to treat an allergic reaction should it occur. If you know or suspect you may be allergic to sesame, the key message is to seek medical advice by visiting your GP. Your GP may need to refer you to an allergy clinic. Throughout the text you will see brief medical references given in brackets. More complete references are published towards the end of this Factsheet. How many people in the UK have sesame allergy? No one knows for sure, but the incidence of sesame seed allergy appears to have risen dramatically over the past two decades and this rise is probably linked to its increased use. Other seeds can cause allergic reactions but sesame appears to the most common to do so (Patel & Bahna, 2016). Sesame allergy can appear in childhood and, according to at least one study, persists in 80 per cent of the cases. Those who outgrow it are likely to have done so by the age of around six (Cohen et al., 2007). Sesame allergy can also begin in adulthood. Symptoms triggered by sesame The symptoms of a food allergy, including sesame allergy, may come on rapidly. Mild symptoms may include nettle rash anywhere on the body (otherwise known as hives or urticaria), or a tingling or itchy feeling in the mouth. More serious symptoms (anaphylaxis) are uncommon but remain a possibility for some people.

  • Antioxidant and Antimicrobial Properties of Rosemary (Rosmarinus Officinalis, L.): a Review
    medicines Review Antioxidant and Antimicrobial Properties of Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis, L.): A Review Gema Nieto 1 ID , Gaspar Ros 1 ID and Julián Castillo 2,* 1 Department of Food Technology and Human Nutrition, Veterinary Faculty, University of Murcia, Espinardo, 30071 Murcia, Spain; [email protected] (G.N.); [email protected] (G.R.) 2 Research and Development Department of Nutrafur-Frutarom Group, Camino Viejo de Pliego s/n, Alcantarilla, 80320 Murcia, Spain * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 1 June 2018; Accepted: 31 August 2018; Published: 4 September 2018 Abstract: Nowadays, there is an interest in the consumption of food without synthetic additives and rather with the use of natural preservatives. In this regard, natural extracts of the Lamiaceae family, such as rosemary, have been studied because of its bioactive properties. Several studies have reported that rosemary extracts show biological bioactivities such as hepatoprotective, antifungal, insecticide, antioxidant and antibacterial. It is well known that the biological properties in rosemary are mainly due to phenolic compounds. However, it is essential to take into account that these biological properties depend on different aspects. Their use in foods is limited because of their odour, colour and taste. For that reason, commercial methods have been developed for the preparation of odourless and colourless antioxidant compounds from rosemary. Owing to the new applications of natural extracts in preservatives, this review gives a view on the use of natural extract from rosemary in foods and its effect on preservative activities. Specifically, the relationship between the structure and activity (antimicrobial and antioxidant) of the active components in rosemary are being reviewed.
