Many of the vegetables which we include in the diet itself possess nutraceutical properties besides its culinary purposes. Many such plants are still unfamiliar to the common man due to lack of awareness about their therapeutic potentials. Solanum nigrum Linn. is a plant which belongs to the family Solanacea and possess nutraceutical properties. Nutrient retention of vegetables subjected to different cooking methods varies. The present study aimed to analyse the nutrient content and estimate the percentage of nutrient retention in Solanum nigrum Linn. leaves and green berries subjected to different cooking methods. Fresh leaves and green berries were harvested from the green house in which cultivation was done and were cooked by boiling, pressure cooking, steaming, sautéing and microwave. Nutrients in both fresh and cooked leaves and berries were analyzed using standard procedures using Millipore water. The percentage of nutrient retention in each cooked sample was calculated using USDA true retention formula. Findings revealed that among the cooked leaves, the steamed leaves possessed more carbohydrates and proteins while in case of green berries, more crude fibre and carbohydrates was seen. Besides these, a significant amount of iron, calcium, phosphorus and vitamin C contents were present in steamed leaves and green berries when compared with other cooking methods. Similar results were observed in case of percentage of nutrient retention also. From the results, it can be concluded that, steaming is the best method of cooking to retain more nutrients in Solanum nigrum Linn. leaves and green berries. Since the fresh leaves and green berries is normally not consumed by humans, steaming may be considered as the best method for human consumption to avail the maximum nutritional and therapeutic benefits of the leaves and green berries.","PeriodicalId":274343,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF ADVANCED APPLIED SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122461439","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}

Recently it has become important to use natural anti-sprouting agents such as essential oils (EO) as well as pure compounds derived from essential oils. Therefore, in the present work we have attempted to explore the anti-sprouting efficiency of peppermint essential oil (Peppermint EO) loaded Polyurethane (PU)/ Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) ultra-thin fibrous mats during the post harvest storage of potato tubers. PU/PMMA blend fibers were produced by electrospinning technique. The electrospun fiber mats were loaded with 2 wt% peppermint essential oil. Essential oil loaded and unloaded fibers were characterised for its chemical composition, surface morphology and controlled release of Peppermint EO using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and UV-Vis spectrophotometer. The SEM results revealed the change in fiber diameter before and after loading. In-vitro release of Peppermint EO in ethanol was approximately found to be 84.8%. Storage life of potato tubers in the presence of peppermint oil was assessed. Storage life study concluded that tubers stored with peppermint EO loaded fibers showed no sprout development for 30 days due to controlled release of EO whereas the tubers with unloaded mats sprouted in 10 days. Thus, the fabricated peppermint EO loaded PU/PMMA fibrous membrane having an excellent anti-sprouting property would be a potential candidate for the post harvest storage of potatoes.","PeriodicalId":274343,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF ADVANCED APPLIED SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120947985","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}
