8.8 Food Applications
B. nigra seeds and its oil have been used to produce a wide variety of commercial
products – mostly food, some which are summarized in Table 8.2. The oilseed of
B. nigra is primarily used in food products as a source of edible protein in the form of
protein concentrates and protein isolates (Jahangir et al. 2009; Biswas et al. 2007).
Other specific applications of B. nigra in the food industry are explained in detail
from Sects. 8.8.1 to 8.8.4.
