| Abstract |
The proximate composition of sesame seeds (Sesame indicum) indicates that it has significant amounts of proteins, fat, and fiber (24.1, 58, and 6.48%).Also, sesame seeds are rich in various mineral constituents such as calcium and iron. Turmeric (Curcuma longa) powder is rich in both zinc and iron (3.00 and 19.00 mg/100gm, respectively). Also, it is rich in vitamins. All tested parameters showed that the sesame seeds and turmeric powder crackers had significantly higher nutrient content compared to control crackers. In this study corn flour was substituted with sesame seeds, less than 15% and 2% turmeric powder, gave crackers with better nutritional value in protein, fat, fiber (9.19, 16.58, 1.73gm/100gm crackers, respectively). Consuming sesame seeds and turmeric powder crackers could provide a part of the daily requirements of protein, dietary fiber, carbohydrate, calcium, iron and zinc for children. Also, the study has shown that substitution, up to 15% sesame seeds and 2% turmeric powder, could produce crackers that are even more acceptable than 100% corn flour crackers.
Key words: sesame seeds, turmeric powder, gluten free crackers
