Review on development and fortification of iron rich seeds flours-based muffins

Abstract

This paper explores the incorporation of pumpkin seeds and garden cress seeds into muffins to create a fortified and nutritious baked good. Pumpkin seeds are rich in protein, healthy fats, Fiber, and minerals like magnesium, zinc, and iron. Garden cress seeds are packed with iron, calcium, and vitamins C and A. By adding these seeds to muffins, not only do we enhance the texture and flavour, but we also significantly boost their nutritional value. This review discusses the health benefits of these seeds, the impact of fortification on the muffins' nutritional profile, and the potential for these fortified muffins to contribute to a balanced diet.
