Proximate composition and antioxidant activities of F1 (control) and F3 (20 % roselle seed powder)

Analysis F1 F3
Ash (%) 0.80 ± 0.03a 0.88 ± 0.01b
Crude protein (%) 5.9 ± 0.32a 9.4 ± 0.32b
Crude fat (%) 25.6 ± 0.51a 26.6 ± 0.40b
Total dietary fibre (%) 0.9 5.6
Total carbohydrate (%) 63.9 55.0
DPPH radical scavenging capacity (%) 82.2 ± 0.39a 98.0 ± 1.36b
Total phenolic content (mg GAE/100 g seed) 28.4 ± 2.28a 60.2 ± 1.08b

*Mean and standard deviation. Value at the same row with different superscript differ significantly (p < 0.05)

*Mean value for total dietary fibre (n = 2)

*Total carbohydrate is obtained by difference. Total carbohydrate = 100 % − (%moisture+ %ash+ %protein+ %fat+ % crude fibre)

*F1- 0 % roselle seed (control), F3- 20 % roselle seed powder were incorporated into cookie flour
