“…Control, 0.5 and 1.0% tulsi enriched milk showed statistically similar (p > .05) heat stability whereas 1.5% showed significant difference (p < .05) to control. A similar study was carried out in literature (Veena et al, 2015). They developed shatavari enriched milk and reported that a 1% addition of Shatavari extract increased heat coagulation time.…”

Fruit yoghurt with tulsi enhance the nutritional value and satisfy rising demands for healthy food products. Three different concentrations of TLE (0.5%, 1%, and 1.5%); and apple pulp (10%) were used for the formulation of herbal fruit yoghurt. The enriched milk (26.42-28.58 min) showed lower heat stability than that of control (29.80 min), however, sufficient to withstand sterilization treatment up to 1% TLE addition. Furthermore, physicochemical properties viz. pH, water holding capacity, acidity, moisture, water activity, setting time, and whey-off experiment were not affected significantly (p > .05) in comparison to control yoghurt. The tulsi addition significantly (p < .05) increased (from 32.43% to 45.47% inhibition) the antioxidant activity of yoghurt. The firmness of herbal fruit yoghurt was decreased than control yoghurt. Sensory scores were decreased with an increase in the concentration of TLE (88.75 to 85.14) in comparison to control (91.96), however, yoghurt was suitable for consumption up to 1% TLE. Practical applications Dahi, Tulsi, and fruit mix are considered as religious food and known as Panchamrite. Yoghurt is considered as western dahi in India, however, no such mixture is tried with yoghurt. Therefore, the feasibility of yoghurt with tulsi and apple was carried out, as yoghurt has higher health benefits even than tulsi. A good quality yoghurt was developed using tulsi and apple pulp, therefore, it will capture a huge place in the Indian market.

“…Freeze‐dried aqueous extract of asparagus‐fortified milk has antioxidative and immunomodulatory potential 103 . A 1 g addition of freeze‐dried aqueous extract of asparagus per 100 mL of milk decreases the rennet coagulation time, pH, and L * (lightness) value and increases the heat stability, viscosity, acidity, a * (redness), and b * (yellowness) values 104 . Asparagus's dried powder increases the proteolysis, antioxidant activity, and phenolic content and decreases the lipolysis indexes and pH of processed cheeses.…”

Asparagus (Asparagus racemosus L.) roots: nutritional profile, medicinal profile, preservation, and value addition

2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Asparagus (Asparagus racemosus L.) is one of the most significant traditional medicinal plants, containing phytochemicals that are non-nutritive but beneficial to health. It contains bioactive metabolites such as fructo-oligosaccharides, polysaccharides, asparosides, shatavarins, sapogenins, racemosols, isoflavones, glycosides, mucilage, and fatty acids, while saponin is one of the main active constituents of asparagus roots. Asparagus helps in fertility promotion, stress management, and hormone modulation. It also treats stomach ulcers, kidney disorders, and Alzheimer's disease. Substitution of asparagus powder or extract for value addition of food products (such as beverages, bakery, and milk) enhances the nutritional and functional properties. Currently, the plant is considered endangered in its natural habitat because of its destructive harvesting, habitat destruction, and deforestation. As it is a highly perishable commodity, it needs proper handling, preservation, and storage. This review will outline the medicinal properties, uses, value addition, and preservation techniques of asparagus roots. The study found that, till now, the only preservation techniques used to increase the shelf life of asparagus roots are drying and irradiation.

Background: Asparagus racemosus, Cissus quadrangularis, Punica granatum and Pueraria tuberosa are employed for their supposed properties in treatment in alleviating symptoms of menopause traditionally from ages. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the estrogenic effect of Asparagus racemosus, Cissus quadrangularis, Punica granatum and Pueraria tuberosa in ovariectomized (OVX) rats. Materials and Methods: Female wistar rats were divided into sham control and ovariectomized (OVX), OVX rats receiving standard drug, raloxifene (5.4 mg/kg) and groups treated with 500 mg/kg and 700 mg/kg of test drug (containing equal quantity of Asparagus racemosus, Pueraria tuberose, Cissus quadrangularis and Punica granatum extracts) daily for 90 days. The vaginal cornification, uterine weight, bone loss, biomechanical, biochemical and histopathological observation were carried out to ascertain the effect of test drug in post-menopausal syndrome. Results: The experimental animals treated with mixture of extract of four drugs showed dose dependent activity. The significant increase in uterine weight, femur BMD, femur hardness, was observed. In addition, increased levels of calcium and phosphorus in serum and significant decreased in urine were observed as compared to control OVX group. The histopathological results also confirm the protective effect of extracts. Conclusion: The present findings strongly suggest that Asparagus racemosus, Cissus quadrangularis, Punica granatum and Pueraria tuberosa possess the potent estrogenic activity in ovariectomized rats and substantiate the ethnic use in treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis.
