DEVELOPMENT AND EVALUATION OF HEART HEALTHY FOOD PRODUCT FROM GREEN COFFEE EXTRACT (original) (raw)

Recent investigations exhibited that the utilization of green coffee extracts created antihypertensive impacts, inhibitory impact on fat collection and body weight in mice and humans and modulation of glucose utilization. Antioxidant agents lessen circulatory strain and enhance blood vessel endothelial dysfunction in patients with hypertension. Chlorogenic acids, present in green coffee, has antioxidant potencies which improve endothelial dysfunction and reduce blood pressure. Consuming green coffee as a beverage is something which can be considered healthy as well as heart healthy. Since, the flavor it has is earthy and not appetizing; it is not preferred by many. This study was aimed to develop a heart healthy food product with green coffee extract which will mask its taste but still provide with the benefits. Many variations cookie was made with the different amount of green coffee extract. All the variations was evaluated organoleptically for different quality attributes (color, appearance, texture, taste, and odor) and overall acceptability by 20 panel members using 9 point hedonic scale. Chemical evaluation was also performed using most acceptable products. The result showed that acceptable developed products were not only low in carbohydrate, fat and sodium but rich in fibre, polyphenol as well as chlorogenic acid. Overall observations indicate that developed product is good for cardiac health.
