Objective: To de Development a finger millet Composite Value-added product Enriched with Moringa Olifera leaves using different drying characterization and Nutritional Composition.
Material and Methods: Plants and Cereals can be utilized for the development of food products enriched with nutrients for all age groups of people. Considering mentioned point, the major objective of the research study was to develop a Finger millet (Ragi) fortified with a Moringa oleifera leaves-based Nutritional Bar.
Result: The moisture content of tray-dried samples is higher as compared to sun-dried samples 5.13-1.5% respectively. The protein content found in the sun-dried sample was 25.76-25.34% respectively. Nutritional bars are nutritious for health with their effects to reduce health problems like diabetes, Malnutrition. Selected T1 sample i.e., with 5% moringa leaves powder was found to have 19.8% protein,5.74% fat,16.02% fiber,1.07%Ash, and 55.26% Carbohydrate. The present investigation also deals with the mineral content present. Compared control sample 12.4% protein 9.76% fat,2.66% fiber,8.01% Ash 66.67% Carbohydrate.
Conclusion: The present investigation also deals with the minerals content present in Nutritional Bar in ppm i.e., 34.84 Ca,17.65 Mg, 2.89 Fe, 22.19 Na, 12 K, and also in Control sample 30.88 Ca,12.34 Mg, 2.11Fe, 19Na,10K per 100/g respectively. Due to less moisture content, the TPC result for 20-day -old, 5×103 CFU/g = 5000 sample, and for the fresh sample, the microbial count is absent. Vitamin C and Antioxidant are 13% and 43.63 and Present respectively. The important phytochemical compounds found in GC-MS are Vitamin E, Phytol, and n-Hexadecenoic acid (Palmitic acid), which possess antioxidant activity.
