Highlights
Wheatgrass is one grass that has been demonstrated to be of particular use to humans as a nutritional source of vitamins, enzymes, minerals, trace minerals and chlorophyll in addition to its various health benefits
It is evident from the table-1 that the mean score of protein content of wheat grass powder obtained by microwave drying [800W, 10 min]is the highest (21.3) and is significantly (p ≤ 0.05) higher than the wheat grass powder prepared by microwave drying [600W, 15 min] (17.8), vacuum oven drying [50 ̊C, 15lb, 6 hr] (11.9), hot air oven drying[60 ̊C, 5hr] (11.3) and hot air oven drying[50 ̊C, 6hr] (11.2)
The illustrated in the table-1 that the mean score of fat content of wheat grass powder obtained by microwave drying [800W, 10 min]is the highest (6.1) and is significantly (p ≤ 0.05) higher than the wheat grass powder prepared by microwave drying [600W, 15 min] (4.2), vacuum oven drying [50 ̊C, 15lb, 6 hr] (3.9), hot air oven drying[60 ̊C, 5hr] (3.2) and hot air oven drying[50 ̊C, 6hr] (3.1)
