Abstract:
The lifestyle of the modern era has led to a drift in the dietary pattern focusing on vegan diets through the uptrend usage of plant-based or non-dairy milk to accommodate the population with different dietary restrictions including people with conditions like lactose intolerance, food poisoning and heart diseases. When people are exploring cost effective sources as food substitutes, jackfruit seeds of high nutritional importance are considered as industrial waste. In this context, jackfruit seeds can be explored as an alternative source of carbohydrates and protein for industrial applications in the production of dairy analogues. Jackfruit seed milk extraction is a process that involves preparing and blending jackfruit seeds with water to obtain creamy and flavorful plant-based milk. This article provides a concise description of the extraction process, highlighting the best treatment to extract jackfruit seed milk. The best method for extraction of Jackfruit seed milk is selected according to the yield ratio, sensory attributes and curd setting properties. The extracted milk can be stored in the refrigerator for a few days for further processing, if required. Incorporating jackfruit seed milk into the diet offers a nutritious and sustainable alternative to dairy milk, adding a unique twist to culinary creations.
