Fenugreek (Trigonellafoenum-graceum) is an annual plant belonging to the family Fabaceae. It is well known for its fiber, gum, other chemical constituents and volatile contents. Fenugreek seed extracts are widely used for their medicinal properties such as hypocholesterolemic, lactation aid, antibacterial, gastric stimulant, for anorexia, antidiabetic agent, hepatoprotective effect and anticancer but they are extremely bitter to taste. Its use is still limited due to its extremely bitter taste which limits its consumer acceptability. BARC has developed a cheap and easy methodology for de-bittering of these extracts to increase their consumer acceptability. It is prepared by using all GRAS status chemicals and enzymes.
