Evaluation Of Proximate Chemical Components Nutritional Value Antinutritional And Antioxidant Properties In Yellow Mustard Seeds.

The yellow mustard seeds was analysed for the Proximate composition Mineral content Antinutrient composition Antioxidant properties and the Amino acid profile. The result obtained showed that yellow mustard seeds had a high content of fat 51.60 followed by protein 23.11 and fiber 9.34 and low contents of total carbohydrates 8.23. It is also a rich source of Potassium K Magnessium Mg Calcium Ca Sodium Na and Iron Fe. Also the antinutritional composition of yellow mustard seed shows that phytates phytic acid oxalates tannins and phenols were 42.74mgg 12.04mgg 5.79mgg 1.38mgg 14.44mgg respectively and its antioxidant properties phenol flavonoid and FRAP in this particular seed were 3.97mgg 0.54mgg and 46.96mgg respectively and the result on chelating Fe2 11-diphenyl-2-picryhydrazyl DPPH and total antioxidant T.A were 42.17 63.13 and 25.06 respectively. Furthermore both essential and non essential amino acids were found in yellow mustard seeds in high amounts which contained a higher contents of Glutamate Proline and Aspartate. In addition the yellow mustard seeds under investigation contained considerable amount of aromatic amino acids Phenylalanine and Tyrosine sulphur containing amino acids Methionine and cystine Leucine Valine and Lysine. The result showed that Mustard seeds powders had high nutritional value due to its high dietary fiber antioxidant properties mineral content protein and amino acids. Its also possesses high antinutritional components such as phytates phytic acid and tannins.
