Abstract:

Sechiumedule is an underutilized, rapidly perishable vegetable crop commonly grown in North East India. Attempts have been made in present investigation to formulate value added products from this vegetable. Results suggest that vegetable dumplings and tutti-frutti developed have reasonable amount of proximate principles and can be stored up to three months thereby increasing the shelf life of the vegetable. Results indicate that raw vegetable had very high moisture content (87.38%). Value addition to the vegetable led to significant increase in the protein content (21.34 %) and carbohydrate content (56.35 %) in vegetable dumplings and tutti-frutti respectively.
