Abstract:
The present investigation aimed to assess the physico-chemical, nutritional and functional properties of fresh Roselle calyces. The fresh Roselle calyces had considerable amount of crude protein, crude fat, carbohydrates, crude fiber, total ash, ascorbic acid, total phenol, total flavonoid, total anthocyanin and antioxidant properties. The present investigation showed that the fresh Roselle calyces are generally acceptable as good source of nutrients and antioxidant potentials.
Keywords: Roselle calyces, Physico-chemical analyses, Nutritional analyses, Functional properties, Antioxidant properties.
