Abstract

 Demand for health oriented products such as sugar-free, low calorie and high fiber products are increasing. One such recent trend is to increase the fiber content in food products to overcome health problems such as hypertension, diabetes, and colon cancer, among others. Consumption of high fiber products consisting of indigestible cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin and gums has several health benefits. Apart from these benefits, β-glucan-rich fibers have the benefit of reducing the absorption of glucose. Most of the plant resources are consumed as food, especially seed based foods are consumed by human beings and animals. Few seeds are utilized entirely by human beings and animals, most of the seeds are under -utilized. The study present showed all the selected seed samples were found to be rich in fiber content and it can be used as value added products.

Keywords: Under-Utilized; Seeds; Fiber; Indigestible Cellulose; Diabetes; Colon Cancer.
