Functional properties of jackfruit seed flour

Abstract

In the current experiments functional properties of jackfruit seed flour stored in HDPE and Aluminium foil pouches was evaluated during storage of 0 to 90 days. From the experiment it was concluded that the water absorption capacity decreases from 2.02 + 0.042 to 1.22 + 0.046 ml/g and from 2.02 + 0.042 to 1.28+ 0.046 ml/g for jackfruit seed flour in HDPE and Aluminium foil pouches, respectively. The oil absorption capacity increases as 2.10 + 0.045 to 2.40 + 0.047 ml/g and 2.10 + 0.045 to 2.85 + 0.047 ml/g jackfruit seed flour in HDPE and Aluminium foil pouches, respectively. The flour dispersibility decreases from 32.67 + 0.092 to 27.25 + 0.921% and from 32.67 + 0.092 to 28.82 + 0.468% for jackfruit seed flour in HDPE and Aluminium foil pouches, respectively. The foaming capacity decreases from 7.10 + 0.202 to 6.42 + 0.122 g/ml and from 7.10 + 0.202 to 6.56 + 0.071 g/ml for jackfruit seed flour in HDPE and Aluminium foil pouches, respectively.
