Popis: Papaya ( Carica papaya ) is an excellent source of vitamin A and vitamin C. Papaya and maize flour contain lutein and zeaxanthin, known as xanthophylls. A good intake of both lutein and zeaxanthin is believed to significantly reduce our risk of developing age-related macular degeneration (ARMD), the most common cause of blindness in America. Flaxseed contain omega 3-fatty acid which is important for life. Biochemical analysis of prepared products revealed that III (50:35:15) incorporated Laddoos , I (50:45:5) incorporated cutlet contain high amount of protein carbohydrate and fat, moderate amount of calcium and good amount of vitamin A. Incorporated products ( Laddoos and cutlet) had better quality with respect to nutrition.
