Abstract
Medicinal plants are local heritage with global importance. Prunuspersica Seeds and Bark are used as traditional medicine for treatment of blood diseases, anemia rheumatism jaundice, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent. So the present study was planned for analysed the nutritional constituents of Prunuspersica Seeds and Bark such as Moisture, Protein, fat and ash were analyzed using AOAC methods. Carbohydrate content of the sample was estimated by Difference method. The research was designed to investigate proximate composition. The results of proximate analysis indicated that seeds and bark had appreciable amounts of Protein (2.2% and 1.0%), Carbohydrate (50.3% and 58.7%) and fat (36.9% and 29.2%) on dry basis with observed no significant difference (P≤0.05). Acceptability evaluation of prepared recopies was performed by semi trained panel through 9 point Hedonic rating scale test. The result revealed that among the recipes (Biscuits and Baked bite) prepared by adding 2%, 4%, 6% and 8% Powder of Seed and Bark that variant 1, 2 and 3 were acceptable when comparable to standard recipe. There is no significance difference (P≤0.005) when they were tested statistically. Considering the pharmaceutical action of Seeds and Bark for treatment of many diseases and that the reasonably safe to use, its development is important for the pharmaceutical industries. This study generated base line information about the peach Seeds and Bark which will be beneficial to treat various diseases. This study also indicates that both Seeds and Bark can be valuable in generating awareness among people to control various diseases and to improve their nutrition and health status.
