Exploring Potential of Fortification by Garden Cress (Lepidium Sativum L.) Seeds for Development of Functional Foods—A Review Indian Journal of Natural Products and Resources Vol. 6(3), September 2015 pp. 167-175 Exploring potential of fortification by garden cress (Lepidium sativum L.) seeds for development of functional foods—A Review C S Singh*, V K Paswan, B Naik and Reeta Centre of Food Science and Technology, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi - 221 005, Uttar Pradesh, India Received 12 July 2014; Accepted 13 July 2015 Garden cress (Lepidium sativum L.) belonging to Brassicaceae family is widely grown in India, Europe and US. It has been used as an important medicinal plant since the Vedic era. In Ayurveda, it is considered as hot, bitter, galactogogue and aphrodisiac and claimed to prevent Vata and Kapha. Garden cress seed is good source of essential and non- essential amino acids and they are also used as a novel source of hydrocolloid. Its extract exhibit strong shear-thinning behaviour and is used as a substitute for gum Arabica in the formulation of different products. The garden cress seed oil has a balanced amount of both polyunsaturated fatty acids and monounsaturated fatty acids and is a good source of linolenic acid. It contains natural antioxidants, viz. tocopherols and carotenoids and eugenol that help in preventing cancer and protect the oil from rancidity. Its seed, oil and powder contain significant amount of protein, fat, minerals, fibers and phytochemicals which are incorporated in many functional beverages and foods. A number of clinical trials have been conducted on rats that also support the efficacy of garden cress seeds. The functional properties of Garden cress seeds stimulate us to review its different valuable properties and the fortified products developed by incorporating Garden cress seeds.

Isothiocyanates are Asia and presently it is cultivated all over the world. most important biochemical agents from the human In local languages garden cress (GC) is also known by health point of view as they are the major inducers of Chandrasur and it is considered as an important carcinogen-detoxifying enzymes. The most potent medicinal crop in India1. The plant is an erect, isothiocyanates are benzyl isothiocyanate (BITC) glabrous, annual, herbaceous growing up to which is present in ample quantity in garden cress5. the height of about 15-45 cm. It has small GCS have been used in traditional medicine since white flowers in long racemes and the pods are ancient times in India6. The GCS are galactogogue, broadly or obovate, rotund, elliptic, emarginated bitter, thermogenic, depurative, rubefacient, notched at apex and winged. Garden cress can be aphrodisiac, ophthalmic, antiscorbutic, antihistaminic, sown and harvested several times throughout the year; diuretic and act as tonic. Various diseases like asthma, although, January, February and November are the coughs with expectoration, diarrhoea, dysentery, most suitable months of the year to sow in a poultices for sprains, leprosy, skin disease, Mediterranean climate2. Garden cress seed (GCS) splenomegaly, dyspepsia, lumbago, leucorrhoea, possess several of pharmacological properties like scurvy and seminal weakness can be treated using anti-anemic, antioxidant, galactogues, etc. and has garden cress seed7. It is supplemented in the diet of tremendous potential for the development of lactating women to increase the milk secretion during functional food by fortification with it3,4.

  • Tips for Cooking with Coriander / Cilantro Russian Green Bean Salad
    Recipes Tips for Cooking with Coriander / Cilantro • Gently heat seeds in a dry pan until fragrant before crushing or grinding to enhance the flavor. • Crush seeds using a mortar and pestle or grind seeds in a spice mill or coffee grinder. • Seeds are used whole in pickling recipes. • Cilantro is best used fresh as it loses flavor when dried. • Clean cilantro bunches by swishing the leaves in water and patting dry. • For the best color, flavor and texture, add cilantro leaves towards the end of the cooking time. • The stems have flavor too, so tender stems may be chopped and added along with the leaves. • Store cilantro stem in a glass of water in the refrigerator, with a loose plastic bag over the top. Russian Green Bean Salad with Garlic, Walnuts, Basil, Cilantro and Coriander Seed ½ cup broken walnuts ¼ cup firmly packed basil leaves 2 large cloves garlic, peeled and each cut into ¼ cup firmly packed cilantro leaves and several pieces tender stems 4 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil 1 pound fresh green beans, stems removed 2 Tbsp white wine vinegar and steamed until crisp – tender and cooled 1 Tbsp lemon juice in ice water 1 Tbsp water ½ cup thinly sliced green onions 1 tsp ground coriander seed ½ cup thinly sliced radishes ⅛ to ¼ tsp hot pepper sauce such as Tabasco Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste 2 Tbsp firmly packed parsley leaves and tender stems To prepare dressing, place walnuts and garlic in food processor fitted with knife blade; chop, using pulse control, until evenly fine.

  • 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.

  • Tolerance of Vegetable Crops to Salinity M.C
    Scientia Horticulturae 78 (1999) 5±38 Tolerance of vegetable crops to salinity M.C. Shannon*, C.M. Grieve U.S. Salinity Laboratory, Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service, 450 W. Big Springs Road, Riverside, CA 92507, USA Abstract Global constraints on fresh water supplies and the need to dispose of agricultural, municipal, and industrial waste waters have intensified interest in water reuse options. In many instances, the value of the water is decreased solely because of its higher salt concentration. Although quantitative information on crop salt tolerance exists for over 130 crop species, there are many vegetables which lack definitive data. Vegetable crops are defined as herbaceous species grown for human consumption in which the edible portions consist of leaves, roots, hypocotyls, stems, petioles, and flower buds. The salt tolerance of vegetable species is important because the cash value of vegetables is usually high compared to field crops. In this review some general information is presented on how salinity affects plant growth and development and how different measurements of salinity in solution cultures, sand cultures, and field studies can be reconciled to a common basis. The salt tolerance of vegetables has been condensed and reported in a uniform format based on the best available data. Discrepancies and inconsistencies exist in some of the information due to differences in cultivars, environments, and experimental conditions. For a great number of species little or no useful information exists and there is an obvious need for research. Published by Elsevier Science B.V. Keywords: Salt tolerance; Ion composition Contents 1. Introduction ............................................................ 7 1.1.

Different varieties of yellow mustard (Sinapis alba L.), brown mustard (Bras- sica juncea (L.) Czern.) and black mustard (Brassica nigra (L.) W.D.J. Koch) were tested in 1983—1985 at three locations in Finland. The average seed yield of yellow mustard was 2220 kg/ha, it’s sinalbine content being 2.2—5.2 g/100 g. There were no major differences between the tested varieties. Varieties ‘Kirby’ and ‘Gisilba’ produced the largest yields. ‘Gisil- ba’ and ‘Ochre’ had the shortest growth periods. The sinalbine content in yellow mustard seeds varied more between the years than between the varieties. The average yield ofbrown mustard was 1620 kg/ha. The variety ‘Picra’ was slightly better than the other varieties with respect to yield and early ripening. The sinigrine content in brown mustard seeds were approximately from traces to 4.4 g/100 g those of‘Dome’, ‘Blaze’, ‘Sv 8341001’ and ‘Trowse’ being highest. Black mustard yielded less than 700 kg/ha, the sinigrine content of the seeds being 1.8—4.5 g/100g.
