Abstract

A rapid method was developed for the quantitative estimation of carbohydrates present in the different natural fruits by UV-Visible Spectrophotometer. The sample extract of the apple, banana, custard apple, guava, papaya, grapes, pineapple, orange, pomegranate, kiwi fruit, mango, strawberries were subjected by using anthrone as reagent for the quantitative estimation of the carbohydrate. These samples absorbance was read in UV-Visible spectrophotometer at the wavelength of 750nm. The recommendation for the general population is that carbohydrate should supply 50 to 55 percent of total calories, and 130 grams per day (520 calories per day) for male and female adults and for athletes is between 55 and 65 percent of total calories.

Natural food colors have a lower impact on biochemical and immunity parameters compared to synthetic food colors, indicating their potential for safer and more nutritious food products.

NUTRIENT COMPOSITION OF THREE Hibiscus sabdariffa Linn ( ROSELLE ) CALYCES

There is no significant difference in the mineral and anti-nutrient composition of dark red, red, and white calyces of H. sabdariffa linn from Zuru, Nigeria, for supplying Mg, Ca, Fe, Cu, and Ascorbic acid to the body.

Estimation of Total Carbohydrate Present In Dry Fruits

Cashew and peanut contain more total carbohydrate than almond, coconut, and walnut, providing more energy for the body.

Carbohydrate in Different types of Fruits

Bananas have the highest carbohydrate content (26.5%) among fruits, while oranges have the lowest (15.5%), aiding in energy level planning for diets.
