Popis: | Hippophae salicifolia, family Elaeagnaceae, commonly called Seabuckthorn, is a valuable wild plant of the Himalayan region. It is being cultivated for its nutritional and medicinal uses world over. Hippophae spp. serve as sources of raw materials for many of Hippophae spp. products in the globe. this plant was found to be growing wild along the bank of river Naymjang Chu at tawang in Arunachal Pradesh, India. An attempt was made to study their morphological, physico-chemical and nutritional properties. Detail morphological studies have been done. Physico-biochemical parameters such as colour, shape, polar and equatorial length, weight, volume, percent of pomace, seed, juice, ascorbic acid, acidity, pH, reducing sugar and minerals were analyzed. Fruit looks attractive in orange with good amount of juice recovery, moderate amount of reducing sugar and acidity. Juice was found to be low in pH which may have impart sharp sour taste to the fruits. High content of ascorbic acid of berry and minerals in the leaf makes it a future fruit for food and health security. |
