The results shmved that DMF could be considered as a good source of essential amino acids, minerals such as K, P, Na and Mg, essential fatty acids such as linoleic acid (C 18:2 w6 ), inulin and dietary fibre, and can be used as a natural antioxidant. The results also indicated that DMF had a very good values in terms of functional properties and in-vitro protein digestibility. The prepared food products contained different concentrations of DMF (2.5 up to 10 %) were highly acceptable by panelists and had no or little significant differences with the control samples UR - http://nile.enal.sci.eg/EALE/2012/AJFST/912/2/33.pdf ER -
