Carica papaya, commonly known as papaya, pawpaw and
papita; is a delicious fruit with loaded nutrients having
beneficial effect on human body. Papaya also has antioxidant
effects and anticancer properties which improve heart health,
fight inflammation, improve digestion and help to maintain
overall health and wellness. Papaya seeds are small, round,
black colored, encased in a gelatinous coat in the inner cavity
of the fruit having a strong flavour similar to black pepper and
small amounts of it are beneficial for overall health. The seeds
containlargeamountsofnutrients,includingfibre(22g%)which
is effective for combating constipation and other digestive
problems. The present study was undertaken with the aim of
developing nutritionally enriched product with incorporation
of papaya seeds and its oil; thereby enhancing the well-being.
Gastro-free churan balls were prepared using papaya seed as
a main ingredient and blending it with other components like
Carom seeds(ajwain,), Cumin (jeera,) and Fenugreek(methi).
Oil and water were added in the ratio of 1:2, which acted as
a binding agent to form balls. The product was standardized
as natural product with no added preservatives and may
be aimed to relieve constipation issues. Sensory evaluation
was conducted to determine the overall acceptability of the
product. Further, nutritional and shelf life study were also
conducted in which it was seen that the product is nutritionally
rich with diverse nutrients, including fibre (16g %). The shelf life
study was performed, and it was observed that the total plate
count was minimal in first few weeks, with gradual increase in
later weeks. Also; the growth of spoilage organisms (coliforms,
yeast and molds) originated after 2 weeks indicating decline
in quality and further stating the product is microbiology safe
for consumption for only 2weeks. However, further study may
be effective to further enhance the nutritive quality and shelf
life of the product. The sensory evaluation concluded that the
product was acceptable by majority of the trained panelists.
