آنکھوں کو بھلے لگتے ہیں آثار نبیؐ کے
ہر سمت ہیں بکھرے ہوئے انوارنبیؐ کے
در پیش ہے پھر مرحلہ خیبر و مرحب
پھر آئیں نظر حیدرِ کرارؓ نبیؐ کے
دونوں ہی دل و جان سے قربان تھے اُن پر
مکے کے مہاجر ؓ ہوں کہ انصارؓ نبیؐ کے
بو بکرؓ و عمرؓ ، حیدرؓ و عثمان ِ غنی ؓ تک
ہیں قابلِ اکرام سبھی یار نبیؐ کے
دل ہو کہ دماغ اِن سے منور ہیں ہمہ دم
آنکھوں کا اُجالا ہیں یہ افکار نبیؐ کے
اِن کے ہیں مکیں آیۂ تطہیر کے مالک
ہیں کتنے مقدس در و دیوار نبیؐ کے
سوچیں تو نہیں آتے ہیں گننے میں بھی عابدؔ
اُمت کے لیے اتنے ہیں ایثار نبی ؐ کے
Honey is one of the oldest and best sweetening agents for foods over the centuries. It is made up of a vast amount of different compounds that can be of nutritional and health benefits.. Thus, the use of honey either as a food or an alternative medicine in the treatment of different disorders is safe, beneficial and free from side effects, honey as food or medicine is advantageous without any hazardous effect. This study has been carried out this subject in order to highlight the importance of honey and its benefits to humanity.
The dietary significance of sportsman drink can be enhanced through additional fermentation using Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophillus. Whey play important role in the sports nutrition due to high quality of proteins and essential amino acids. The present study was carried out to characterize locally available whey i.e. Cheddar, Mozzarella and Paneer whey for physico- chemical and nutritional attributes followed by manufacturing of sportsman drink with normal as well as additional fermentation. The physico-chemical analyses elucidated high pH (5.41 ± 0.16), crude protein (0.83 ± 0.03 %), fat (0.25 ± 0.01 %), lactose (4.95 ± 0.21 %) and total solids (6.55 ± 0.27 %) in Cheddar whey whereas acidity (0.30 ± 0.01) and ash content (0.56 ± 0.02) in Paneer whey while total plate count (TPC) was slightly high (3.17 ± 0.09 x 104 cfu/ml) in Mozzarella whey. The results regarding mineral analysis indicated that whey contain appreciable amount of calcium, magnesium, sodium and potassium. Furthermore, amino acid profile elucidated it a complete and balanced source of essential and non-essential amino acids. Amongst essential amino acids, highest values was recorded for branched chain amino acids like leucine (73.16±3.09) followed by lysine (61.56±0.61) and valine (44.13±1.86) mg/g protein. Nine drink formulations were prepared using Cheddar, Mozzarella and Paneer whey alone and in combination with normal fermentation as well as additional fermentation. The developed sportsman drinks were evaluated for nutritional quality with special reference to amino acids, viscosity and total plate count along with sensory response during two month storage. The results regarding hedonic response elaborated highest consumer acceptability of sportsman drink having Cheddar whey with additional fermentation. Drink having Cheddar whey with additional fermentation was further selected on the basis of nutritional, physico-chemical and sensory profiling for biological evaluation. Biological evaluation of selected sportsman drink (T4) revealed highest total digestibility (96.71±1.65%), biological value (98.01±1.55%), net protein utilization (87.31±0.86%), protein efficiency ratio (3.42±0.09), net protein ratio (5.91±0.08%) and protein digestibility corrected amino acid score (97.57±2.01%). From the instant research, it is concluded that whey based drinks have a great potential to improve the gut health and muscular mass required by the sportsman.
