Nutritional Properties of Underutilized Arid Produce : Review On Current Trends and Future Prospects

Author(s) Ms. Prachi Gaur, Subhash Kumar Kushwaha
Country India
Abstract Sangri (Prosopis cineraria), the immature pod of the khejri tree, is an important indigenous food resource in India, particularly in the arid and semi-arid regions of Rajasthan. It plays a significant role in supporting rural nutrition, livelihood security, and traditional food systems. Sangri is highly valued for its rich nutritional profile, comprising carbohydrates, dietary fiber, essential minerals, vitamins, and various bioactive phytochemicals. Despite its nutritional and economic significance, its utilization is constrained by high perishability and seasonal availability, which pose considerable challenges for post-harvest handling, storage, and year-round supply. Drying is the most commonly employed preservation method to extend shelf life and facilitate safe storage; however, the process can affect physicochemical attributes, nutrient retention, and functional properties. Recent advancements in processing technologies, including optimized drying techniques and the development of value-added products, have created new opportunities for enhancing the utilization and market potential of Sangri. This review provides a comprehensive evaluation of the nutritional and functional characteristics of Sangri, examines the impact of processing and preservation on product quality, assesses storage stability, and discusses emerging prospects for commercialization and value addition. Furthermore, it highlights the potential role of Sangri in promoting sustainable agriculture, strengthening nutrition security, and supporting rural economic development.
