Nutritional Profiling & Proximate Analysis of Developed Vegan Honey Tender Bamboo Shoots Murabba

Abstract

The nutritional value of plant-based foods, which account for a substantial portion of the diet, is crucial in determining how well all humans grow and develop. The main components of the food are proximate principles, sometimes known as carbohydrates, fats, and proteins; minerals and vitamins make up a very small portion of the diet. The relative concentrations of various ingredients, such as proteins, lipids, vitamins, and minerals, define the quality of food. Data about the sample's quality, such as the quantity of moisture, ash, volatile matter, and fixed carbon, are usefully obtained via proximate analysis in plants. Because bamboo shoots have such important health benefits, the current study concentrated on using them to produce items. The aim was to produce the highest-quality desserts using less expensive ingredients while maintaining a high nutritional profile. The bamboo shoot had relatively highfibre content (24.44%), protein content (3.26%), and a low-fat content (1.46%), energy (244.01 kcal), ash(1.50), and moisture (18.11%) according to its approximate composition. Bamboo murabba Similar mean values for T1 were discovered to have 3.25% protein and 2.48% fibre, followed by mean values for T5 with 3.39% protein and 1.97%fibre. Means for fat percentage were found to be non-significantly different across all treatments. All treatments had a considerable impact on physical traits like thickness, width, and spread factor. The spread factor of the murabba was noticeably reduced as the amount of vegan honey tender bamboo shoots murabba increased. Bamboo shoots, a cheap and easily accessible source, present a fascinating new potential component as a food element, particularly in murabba. When mixed with vegan honey, cinnamon powder, cardamom powder, water, jaggery, lemon, and ginger, physical traits demonstrated characteristics. The sensory analysis conducted for this inquiry demonstrates that the vegan honey tender bamboo shoots murabba was determined to be acceptable.
