I and my work team want to create natural food suplements of avocado seed and we want to know about it.
Raw seeds has good content of sodium, calcium and potassium. In addition, it is a good source of vitamin C.
However, antinutritional factors including alkaloid, tannin, phytic acid, saponin and oxalate exists. This can be recognized as a potential threat in the use of these seeds in animal and human nutrition. If boiled or soaked in water, it might help reduce the natural toxic characteristics.
Hello Michan,
There are huge applications of avocado seeds. Check the attached manuscript plz.
Avocado seed being rich in dense and high-quality soluble fiber and rich source of vitamin C, E, and phosphorus, is very nutritious but it is not edible as such. seed powder can be mixed in with other foods or beverages for consumption. The fruit and other flavorings can mask the bitter taste of the seed powder.
Avocado seeds are the nutritious seeds which contains health promoting components like antioxidant, flavanol, and dietary fibre. Due to these components, these seeds exhibit antitumour (flavanol), antioxidant and antimicrobial properties (polyphenols), cholesterol lowering effect (fibres) and also help in treatment of neurodegenerative disease like Alzheimer’s disease (phytochemical).
From the safety point of view, avocado seeds contains very little amount of fungicidal toxins (Persin), which can be harmful in massive doses.so before developing the health supplements, you should consider this point also.
