| Abstract | ||||
| Young green barley powderis one the best functional food of providing nutrition and eliminating toxin from cells in human beings, however its functional ingredients have played an important role as health benefit. Young green barley powderandwheat flour (72% extraction)were analyzed for their proximate chemical composition, mineral elements and amino acids contents to evaluate their importance in human nutrition. The results showed that young green barley powder and wheat flour(72% extraction) contains appreciable amount of essential nutrients whereas the ether extract content, crude protein, ash, crude fiber and carbohydrates were 3.23%, 21.15%, 9.37%, 17.53% and 48.72% as well as 1.40, 11.69, 0.60, 0.65 and 85.66% (on dry weight basis), respectively. Also young green barley powder had high contains of macro mineral elements i.e. Ca, K, P, Mg and Na , high concentration of micro minerals' i.e. Fe and Zn, besides amino acids such as arginine, lysine, histidine, phenylalanine, leucine, valine, alanine, glycine, glutamic acid, serine, threonine and aspartic acid. Five levels of young green barley powder (2, 4, 6, 8 and 10%) were used to replace wheat flour (72%) in order to produce shamy bread. The obtained results showed that, as the level of substitution increase, all components increased except total carbohydrates. In addition, four levels of young green barley juice (10, 20, 30 and 40%) were used to replacecantaloupe juice. It can be concluded that consumption of young green barley in shamy bread or cantaloupe juice in different combinations could provide a reasonable daily recommended amount of essential nutrients for maintenance of healthy life and normal body functioning. | ||||
