Kenaf belongs to the family Malvaceae noted for their economic and horticultural importance. Kenaf seed is a valuable component of kenaf plant. For several years, it has been primarily used as a cordage crop and secondarily as a livestock feed. The potential for using kenaf seeds as a source of food-based products has not been fully exploited. Consumers are becoming more interested in naturally healthy plant-based food products. Kenaf seed, the future crop with a rich source of essential nutrients and an excellent source of phytocompounds, might serve suitable roles in the production of value-added plant-based foods. At present kenaf seed and its value-added components have not been effectively utilized for both their nutritional and functional properties as either ingredient or major constituent of food products. This review focuses on the possible food applications of kenaf seed and its value-added components based on their nutritional composition and functional properties available in literature, with the purpose of providing an overview on the possible food applications of this underutilized seed. The review focuses on a brief introduction on kenaf plant, nutritional function, lipids and proteins composition and food applications of the seed. The review elaborately discusses the seed in terms of; bioactive components, antioxidants enrichment of wheat bread, antimicrobial agents, as edible flour, as edible oil and a source of protein in food system. The review closes with discussion on other possible food applications of kenaf seed. The need for food scientists and technologists to exploit this natural agricultural product as a value-added food ingredient is of great significance and is emphasized.
黄麻属锦葵科，以其经济和园艺重要性而闻名。黄麻种子是黄麻植物的一个有价值的组成部分。多年来，它主要被用作绳索作物，其次是用作牲畜饲料。黄麻种子作为食品原料的潜力尚未得到充分开发。消费者对天然健康的植物性食品越来越感兴趣。黄麻种子作为未来的作物，含有丰富的必需营养物质和极好的植物化合物来源，可能在生产高附加值植物性食品方面发挥合适的作用。目前，黄麻种子及其增值成分尚未有效利用，无论是作为食品的成分或主要成分，都没有充分发挥其营养价值和功能性。本综述重点介绍了黄麻种子及其增值成分在食品中的可能应用，基于其营养成分和功能特性的文献报道，旨在提供对这种未充分利用的种子的可能食品应用的概述。本综述重点介绍了黄麻植物的简要介绍、营养功能、脂质和蛋白质组成以及种子的食品应用。本综述详细讨论了种子在生物活性成分、小麦面包的抗氧化剂富集、抗菌剂、可食用面粉、可食用油以及食品体系中的蛋白质来源等方面的应用。本综述最后讨论了黄麻种子的其他可能的食品应用。强调了食品科学家和技术人员开发这种天然农产品作为高附加值食品成分的重要性。
