Abstract
This comparative study evaluates the
nutritional contents and health benefits of jaggery and refined sugar,
emphasizing the substantial nutritional advantages of jaggery. Utilizing atomic
absorption spectrophotometry and DPPH assays, the research quantified the
levels of chromium, total phenolic compounds, and antioxidant activities in
these sweeteners. Results demonstrate that jaggery contains significantly
higher concentrations of health-promoting nutrients and antioxidants compared
to refined sugar. These findings suggest that jaggery could potentially
contribute to better management of blood sugar levels and offer superior health
benefits due to its antioxidant properties, which play a crucial role in
preventing oxidative stress and related chronic diseases.
