ABSTRACT
Millet-based nutritious multipurpose instant mix was developed by using ingredients viz. jowar, bengal gram dhal, soybean, ragi, rajgira seed, niger seed, gingelly seed, coriander seed, cumin seed, omum and salt. Four variations (A,B,C & D) of multipurpose instant mix were formulated. One product (chakli) was prepared and organoleptically evaluated for the selection of best accepted variation by the semi trained 20 panel members using five point ranking method. The findings indicated that the variation 'D' was selected as most accepted variation of multipurpose instant mix. In all fifteen products were prepared from most accepted variation. Out of these most accepted ten products viz. chakli, dhapata, gadgil, kharapara, kheer, poori, shev, shakkarpara, salty biscuits and sweet biscuits were selected from the prepared ones. The findings of sensory evaluation data indicated that most of the selected products prepared from developed multipurpose instant mix obtained good scores (>4) for all organoleptic parameters. The most accepted multipurpose mix was analysed for nutritional quality and it was stored in polythene pouch and laminated aluminium pouch to evaluated shelf life. The developed multipurpose instant mix found to contain protein (17.49g), fat (9.32g), total minerals (5.17g), fiber (4.87g), iron (11.67mg), zinc (3.53mg), calcium (269mg) and phosphorus (338mg) per 100g. In vitro protein digestibility and iron bioavailability of multipurpose instant mix was 72.52 per cent and 56.94 per cent respectively. At the end of the six months storage, the chakli prepared from mixes was organoleptically acceptable. Effect of storage on biochemical parameters revealed that non- significant increase in moisture and total sugar content was observed in both pouches. Significant increase in peroxide value and reducing sugar was observed during storage of multipurpose instant mix in both the packaging materials. The microbial population of mix packed in both the materials was initially low and it was fit for consumption on 180th day of storage. It is concluded that the developed multipurpose instant mix is nutritious and can be used for preparation of variety of products.
