Abstract
Food production has been impacted by climate
change and the expanding global population as a consequence of periods of
drought, catastrophic weather conditions, and altered seasons. Using minor
species of crops, resolving food and nutrition security hurdles, and
incorporating underutilized crop species are approaches of developing an
adaptive agricultural system. India has experienced a significant shift in
eating habits due to globalization, shifting from traditional to fast and junk
foods. Customers are becoming more value-conscious, health-conscious, and
cost-conscious. The food industry offers a variety of instant meals, known as the
"food revolution." This shift has led to a rise in nuclear families
with two incomes, altering consumer behavior and consuming more processed food
products. People are looking for innovative products nowadays and are excited
to savor new flavors that are available. Agricultural products are processed so
that it will provide added value in the agricultural processing chain. The
potential of jackfruit seed waste (Arthocarpus
heterophyllus) has not been utilized optimally. "Payasam,"
a rice dish cooked with sugar or jaggery in milk until gelatinized, is one
well-known traditional food. This cumbersome method, which is popular in South
India during festivals, gives sophisticated food goods an opportunity to become
ready-to-cook instant ethnic dessert mixtures. This study provides a concise
description of processing, pointing out the best treatment to develop jackfruit
seed-based dessert mix. The best method for developing the Jackfruit seed-based
dessert mixes were selected based on their physic-chemical qualities and
sensory attributes. Incorporating jackfruit seed into the diet offers a
nutritious and sustainable alternative to starch, adding a unique twist to
culinary innovations.
