Researches of Some Properties of The Flours of Fenugreek Seed Sold in Ağrı and Erzurum Cities

Abstract

Buy grass, whose Latin name is Trigonella foenum-graecum L., is generally known as fenugreek among the people. Although it is used in many areas, it is used in the food industry to flavor foods, prevent the development of spoilage or pathogenic microorganisms, and extend the shelf life of foods. In this research, the analysis of mineral substance, total phenolic substance (TFM), free radical scavenging activity, and colour rere performed for 13 the samples of buy grass seed flour (BOTU) bought from Ağrı and Erzurum cities. While the samples’ most abundant macro mineral substance is phosphorus (P), the highest amount of micro mineral substance detected is sodium (Na). The TFM values in the BOTUs were determined as the highest 426.71 mg GAE 100 /g and the lowest 137.30 mg GAE 100 /g. The highest free radical scavenging activity value found was 100.11 IC50 mg /mL, while the lowest value was 31.67 IC50 mg /mL. L*, a*, and b* color values were determined as the means 73.70, 0.63, and 27.37, respectively. As a result, it was observed that the mineral substance, TFM, antioxidant, and colour properties of the samples bought from different markets were different from each other.

Ağrı ve Erzurum İllerinde Satılan Buy Otu Tohumu Unlarının Bazı Özelliklerinin Araştırılması

Abstract

Latince adı Trigonella foenum-graecum L. olan buy otu halk arasında genellikle çemen otu olarak bilinmektedir. Buy otu birçok alanda kullanılmakla birlikte gıda sanayinde gıdaları lezzetlendirmek, bozucu ya da patojen mikroorganizmaların gelişmesini önlemek ve gıdaların raf ömrünü uzatmak için kullanılmaktadır. Araştırmada, Ağrı ve Erzurum illerinden toplanan 13 adet buy otu tohum ununda (BOTU) mineral madde, toplam fenolik madde (TFM), serbest radikal giderme aktivitesi ve renk analizleri yapılmıştır. Örneklerde en fazla miktarda bulunan makro mineral madde fosfor (P) iken miktar olarak tespit edilen en yüksek mikro mineral madde sodyum (Na)’dur. BOTU’larda TFM değerleri en yüksek 426.71 mg GAE 100 /g ve en düşük 137.30 mg GAE 100 /g olarak belirlenmiştir. Bulunan en yüksek serbest radikal giderme aktivitesi değeri 100.11 IC50 mg /mL iken en düşük ise 31.67 IC50 mg /mL’dir. L*, a* ve b* renk değerleri ise sırasıyla ortalama 73.70, 0.63 ve 27.37 olarak tespit edilmiştir. Sonuç olarak farklı marketlerden alınan örneklerin mineral madde, TFM, antioksidan ve renk özelliklerinin birbirinden farklı olduğu görülmüştür.
