Monechma ciliatum (MC) seeds are a rich plant source of protein, fat, minerals, and other essential nutrients. The current study aims to investigate the impact of using MC seeds as a plant-based food supplement on kisra (Sudanese bread made of sorghum flour). To obtain the most benefits from the MC, seeds were subjected to three treatments, boiling, roasting, and germination. The raw and treated MC seeds were separately ground and added to sorghum flour with ratio of 1:10 each. The common kisra made of pure sorghum flour (K) flour as control and four samples of supplemented kisra were prepared as raw or untreated (UMK), boiled (BMK), roasted (RMK), and germinated (GMK). Chemical composition, mineral, amino acids, fatty acids, tocopherols, and amino acids content were determined and also sensory evaluation. Results showed that using Monechma ciliatum seeds flour as a supplement of sorghum's kisra significantly improved its nutritional value. Protein, Fat, fiber, mineral, unsaturated fatty acids, and amino acids significantly increased while tocopherol content wasn’t affected by supplementation. The sorghum's kisra, supplemented with 10% roasted (RMK) Monechma ciliatum seed flour was found to be acceptable between the supplemented samples concerning all sensory attributes. |
