{"title":"Nutritional profile and physicochemical analysis of two indigenous cultivars of\u0000black cumin (Nigella sativa) seeds and oil in Bangladesh","authors":"M.I.B. Kayes, S. Ahmed, C. A.

Additionally, the effects of extraction time and particle size on oil yield\u0000generation was investigated. The values of moisture content, crude protein content, crude\u0000fat, crude fiber, total ash, and carbohydrate of Kali Jira seed were 5.29%, 19.83%,\u000041.3%, 18.96%, 5.10%, and 9.52% whereas Kalonji had 5.43%, 19.95%, 40.3%, 14.28%,\u00004.35%, and 14.69%, respectively. In the Kali Jira and Kalonji types, the mineral analysis\u0000revealed significant potassium levels (829.11 mg/100 g, 746.27 mg/100 g), followed by\u0000phosphorus, calcium, sodium, iron and zinc. The minimum oil yield was 46.77% in the\u0000Kalonji variety compared to Kali Jira, which had 49.57% after the extraction time of 2\u0000hrs for 1.4-2.5 mm particle size. On the other hand, a maximum oil yield of 91.08% and\u000094.77% was found in Kalonji seed and Kali Jira seed, respectively, following a 6-hour\u0000extraction time for 0.25-0.5 mm particle size. Characterization of extracted seed oil\u0000(iodine value, saponification value, and acid value) indicated the abundance of\u0000unsaturation in oil. FTIR analysis was used to investigate functional groups. According\u0000to the findings of this study, black cumin and extracted oil are rich in nutrients and can be\u0000used to treat lifestyle problems.","PeriodicalId":12410,"journal":{"name":"Food Research","volume":"45 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141274114","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
