ABSTRACT
Goldenberry waste powder, contained 5.87% moisture, 15.89% protein, 13.72% fat, 3.52% ash, 16.74% dietary fiber and 61% carbohydrates. Potassium (560â¯mg/100â¯g) was the predominant element followed by sodium (170â¯mg/100â¯g) and phosphorus (130â¯mg/100â¯g). Amino acid analysis gave high levels of cystine/methionine, histidine and tyrosine/phenylalanine. Goldenberry waste powder had good levels of the techno-functional properties including water absorption index, swelling index, foaming capacity and stability (3.38â¯g/g, 5.24â¯ml/g, 4.09 and 72.0%, respectively). Fatty acids profile showed that linoleic acid was the predominant fatty acid followed by oleic, palmitic and stearic acids. Iodine value (109.5â¯g/100â¯g of oil), acid value (2.36â¯mg KOH/g of oil), saponification value (183.8â¯mg KOH/g of oil), peroxide value (8.2â¯meq/kg of oil) and refractive index (1.4735) were comparable to those of soybean and sunflower oils. Goldenberry waste oil exhibited absorbance in the UV range at 100-400â¯nm.
