Abstract

Khejri (Prosopis cineraria (L.) Druce) is among the most endemic hardy plant species of semi-arid tropical regions of Thar Desert. Its ripened pods has considerable amount of natural sugars, minerals and importantly high amounts of proteins. The aim of the present work was to evaluate different food models by quality of syrups obtained from khejri pods (Prosopis cineraria (L.) Druce). The syrups were obtained through concentrated pod extract. Physicochemical parameters (protein content, moisture and speciï¬c gravity) were evaluated considering the quality parameters for syrups. The invitro digestibility tests for proteins and starch were conducted and estimated glycemic index were calculated through first order kinetics. Prosopis pod syrup food models presented quality parameters statistically different from the control (honey) used in this study for comparison. The values observed for honey match with range reported by other authors for food standards from several parts of the world. The syrups presented superior nutritional quality regarding their protein and mineral contents. The Prosopis syrup might be considered a good protein and mineral source for human nutrition. Key words: Prosopis cineraria, Syrups, physicochemical properties, in vitro digestibility
