The purpose of the current study was to analyze the nutrient content of some commonly consumed sweetmeats of Jashore district in Bangladesh and calculation of the their calorie densities. The selected samples for the study were as follows: Rosogolla (sponge, white), Kalojam, Laddu (mewa), Chomchom (black, brown, white), Shondesh (para, chinir, cake), Doi (mishit, tok, tok-mishti). Sweetmeats were collected from three different popular shops of Jahsore Sadar in Jashore district during the period of October, 2019 to December, 2019. Proximate analysis of the samples was conducted in triplicate by various standard methods and calorie densities were calculated by amount of energy per gram of food. Ash content ranged from 2 to 5.33%, moisture content ranged from 25.66 to 69.3%, protein content ranged from 2.19 to 4.05%, fat content ranged from 0.64 to 2.55%. In case of dietary fiber, highest fiber content was found in laddu (1.37%) and lowest fiber content was found in kalojam (0.73%). However, carbohydrate content was measured by subtraction method and highest carbohydrate content was found in chinir sondesh (64%) and lowest carbohydrate content was found in tok doi (22.68%). Afterwards, Sweets were ranked in descending order according to their calorie densities. It was seen that chinir sondesh was the most calorie densed foods and tok doi was the least amongst the studied samples. KEYWORDS: Calorie density, nutrient, sweetmeats, Jashore, Bangladesh.

This study was aimed to determine the effect of wheat flour comparison with red bean sprout flour on the characteristics of pancakes and to determine the exact concentration of red bean sprout flour that was able to produce pancakes with the best characteristics. This study used a randomized block design with the ratio of flour and red bean sprouts (100%: 0%, 60%: 40%, 50%: 50%, 40%: 60%, 30%: 70%), repeated three times to obtain 15 units of experiment. The data obtained were then analyzed by variants and if there was any effect on the treatment, then continued with Duncan test. The variables observed were moisture content, ash content, protein content, fat content, carbohydrate levels, coarse fiber content, and sensory characteristics. The results showed that the addition of red bean sprout effected moisture content, ash content, protein content, fat content, carbohydrate content, crude fiber content, colour, aroma, taste, texture, and overall acceptance of pancake. The best characteristic of pancake substitution was 50% wheat flour and 50% red bean sprout flour that produced moisture content 36.14%, ash content 1.86%, fat content 24.15%, protein content 8.31%, carbohydrate content 29.53 %, crude fiber content 16.81%, light brown colour (liked), typical aroma of red beans (liked), soft texture (liked), flavour of red beans (liked), and overall acceptance (liked). Keywords: wheat flour, red bean sprouts, characteristics, pancakes.

To explore the differences in the main nutritional composition of 23 kinds of common edible fungi in the market, the moisture, ash, protein, fat, dietary fiber, carbohydrates, polysaccharides, and energy were analyzed using national standard methods. The results showed that the 23 kinds of edible fungi varied greatly in nutritional composition. Based on dry weight, the moisture content was 6.9∼15.5 g/100 g, the ash content ranged from 1.3 to 10.1 g/100 g, the protein content ranged from 8.5 to 36.9 g/100 g, the fat content was 0.5∼3.9 g/100 g, the dietary fiber content was between 14.4∼70.2 g/100 g, the carbohydrate content is 0.5∼37.3 g/100 g, the polysaccharide content was 2.1∼8.3 g/100 g, and the energy is about 751∼1322 100 g/kJ. All the 23 kinds of edible fungi can be regarded as high-protein low-fat foods, which have their own advantages in terms of nutritional value. This study provides reference for people to use edible fungi in a more scientific and reasonable way.

This study was carried out to evaluate the phytochemical screening and nutritional value of 6 local plants in the Phraek Nam Daeng community including: Azima sarmentosa Benth, Pluchea indica (L) Less,, Boehravia diffusa L, Acanthus ilicifolius L, Sesuvium portulacastrum L and Derris trifoliata Lour. The phytochemical analysis was performed for alkaloid, tannin, terpenoid, flavonoid, anthraquinone and cardiac glycoside. Nutritional analysis of proximal composition of local plants using the method of AOAC (2005),Which consist of moisture content, protein content, lipid content, fiber content, total ash content and carbohydrate content. The results showed that phytochemical screening of 6 local plants, the methanolic extracts have the presence of bioactive substances such as alkaloid, tannin, terpenoid, flavonoid, anthraquinone and cardiac glycoside. The most nutritional composition of local plants showed that the moisture content was Sesuvium portulacastrum L, protein content was Acanthus ilicifolius L, lipid and carbohydrate content was Azima sarmentosa Benth. & Hook, fiber content was Pluchea indica (L) Less., these represent the potential of food crops for food security and sustainable use of biodiversity.

This research aims to conduct organoleptic and proximate analysis of yellow soybean natto which is a food fermented from soybeans by Basillus subtillus natto. Natto is a traditional food originating from Japan that is classified as a probiotic food because it is consumed in fresh condition with the bacteria Basillus subtillus natto in it. Organoleptic analysis of natto in this study consisted of tests of texture, taste, color and aroma, while proximate analysis consisted of analysis of water content, protein content, fat content, carbohydrate content, and ash content. The results of the yellow soybean natto analysis show that the natto originating from Vedca Cianjur has a slimy sticky texture, brown color, a slightly sour and musty aroma like semangit tempeh and the savory taste of soybeans which is the distinctive aroma of natto. Proximate analysis shows that natto contains an average water level of  58.4± 0.50 %wb, average protein content of 20,1 ± 0.65 %wb, average fat content of 9.4 ± 0.42% wb, average carbohydrate content of 7.6 ± 0.47% wb, and the average ash content of 2.3 ± 0.19% wb. Keywords: physical, proximate, natto, Basillus subtillus natto

In the processing of rice into the rice used is rice that has been whased away, while the rice water thrown away because it was considered important that the rice water that is not used will be waste, it is necessary alternative in their utilization. The alternative is to make a food product by a fermentation process using bacteria Acetobacterxylinum called nata de leri. It is caused rice water contain nutrients such as carbohydrates, protein, and vitamin B1 or thiamine. This study aimed to compare the volume and optimum mass of nutrients at chemical characteristicts of nata de leri generated. This type of research was Pre-Experimental by varying nutrient source used was suger as a carbon source and tofu waste water as a source of nitrogen. In this research, was adding four variations of nutrient source that has been 100:25 (g/mL), 125:50 (g/mL), 150:75 (g/mL), 175:100 (g/mL). Furthermore, the analisisproksimat include moisture content, ash content, fat content, protein content, and carbohydrate content. Best treatment combination was obtained on the addition of nutrient source 125:50 (g/mL) which generate 78,7217% moisture content, ash content of 1,0707%, fat content of 0,5636%, protein content of 0,4776% and the carbohydrate content 19,1893%.
