Abstract:

BiotechnologyCereals and Pulses play a vital role in the daily life of humans in both dietary and socio - economically because of their high nutritional value. In the present study, an attempt has been made to enhance the nutrient content and taste of traditional cereal and pulse based snack (Chudwa) by incorporating popped (Triticum aestivum, Zeamays, Sorghum Vulgare, & Amaranthus sp.), sand roasted dals (Cicer arietinum & phaseolusaureus), puffed rice and flax seeds. Three different formulations were prepared and subjected to sensory evaluation using hedonic rating scale. Among the three, Sample 3 was rated superior both in terms of nutrient content and sensory attributes.
