It is also known as methi. It has many health benefits and therapeutic value. The present study was undertaken to develop shelf stable therapeutic products from dehydrated fenugreek seeds and leaves. Dehydration and nutritional analysis were done. Dehydration per cent and rehydration ratio of fenugreek seeds and leaves were found to be (88% and 11%) and (9.84 and 6.29) respectively. Products like soup sticks, masala biscuits and momoz were prepared by incorporating fenugreek seeds and leaves powder at different variations. Sensory evaluation revealed that all the developed products were best accepted at 2 percent incorporation level. Nutrient analysis of the products revealed that momoz had higher moisture content (46.44 % and 47.77 %), fat (17.68 g and 26.6 g) and crude fiber (8.27 g and 3.38 g). Masala biscuits had higher carbohydrate (63.57 and 60.14) and calcium (78.99 mg and 79.166 mg) whereas iron content (8.54 mg and 11.98 mg) was higher in soup sticks of fenugreek seeds and leaves respectively. Shelf life of the products studied through moisture content, sensory evaluation and microbial population which revealed that the developed products were within safe limits and acceptable level. The cost of the products were found to be higher for momoz (Rs.28 and 29) and least for soup sticks (Rs.16 and 18) per 100g. Hence, fenugreek seeds and leaves could be processed by dehydration to prepare value added, shelf stable and therapeutic products.ThesisItem Open Access DEVELOPMENT OF VALUE ADDED PRODUCTS FROM RED HAWAIIAN HIBISCUS(University of Agricultural Sciences, Bangalore, 2018-08-01) AISHWARYA, BAHUGUNA; VIJAYALAXMI, K.G.Edible flowers impart unique and powerful color, aroma and flavor to the food. They are rich in nutrients, and also possess antioxidant and antimicrobial properties. Hibiscus rosa-sinensis is an evergreen, glabrous shrub, belonging to the Malvaceae family. The present study was undertaken to standardize the process of dehydration and to develop value added products from fresh and dehydrated hibiscus flowers. Both fresh and dried flowers were analyzed for their physical, physic chemical and nutrient content. The dehydration and rehydration ratio were 13.19 and 4.66 respectively. Value added products such as gulkand and juice were developed from fresh flowers and chocolate, cake and shrikhand by incorporating dehydrated flower powder at different levels.

Jackfruit pulp was prepared from fully ripened deseeded bulbs using commercial pulp mixer. Pulp was pre treated with different preservatives. The quantities of preservatives (3 levels of ppm) were planned according to FSSAI standard. The different pre treatments were control (without preservative), followed by potassium meta bisulphite (750, 1000 and 1250 ppm), sodium benzoate (500, 600 ppm and 700 ppm) and potassium sorbate (300, 400 and 500 ppm). Optimization of the pre-treatments was done by storing the jackfruit pulp in glass bottles under ambient (26-28° C), refrigerated temperature (3-5° C) for 60 days and analyzed for bio-chemical, microbial, tri-stimulus color and sensory characters during storage at an interval of 15 days. The pulp with different pre-treatments stored at ambient temperature (26-28° C) did not maintain the quality parameters beyond 4 days. Among the pretreatments, 1000 ppm potassium meta bisulphite stored at refrigerated temperature (3-5° C) was adjudged as the best. The best sample was further stored in four different packaging materials i.e., Retort pouches, Tins (Aluminium), Polyethylene terephthalate bottles and Metallized multilayer polyethylene under ambient (26-28° C) and refrigerated temperature (3-5° C) for 90 days. Analysis was done at 15 days interval. Jackfruit pulp packed in retort pouches and stored at refrigerated temperature (3-5° C), retained nutritional and microbial quality up to 3 months when compared to others packaging materials.ThesisItem Open Access DEVELOPMENT OF VALUE ADDED PRODUCTS FROM WATERMELON RIND (Citrullus lanatus)(UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES GKVK, BENGALURU, 2019-08-22) ASHOKA, S.; SHAMSHAD BEGUM, S.Watermelon (Citrullus Lanatus) belongs to Cucurbitaceae family with preferred attraction for all on account of its cool, refreshing, pleasing taste and attractive colour. The present study was undertaken to standardize the process of dehydration, analyse the proximates, and to develop value added products from fresh and dehydrated watermelon rind. The physico-chemical properties of fresh watermelon and also nutrient composition for watermelon rind flour (WRF) were analysed. The dehydrated ratio was found to be 5.59 per cent. Value added products like Tutti-frutti, Candy and Petha were developed from fresh rind and bakery products like Cookies, Sponge cake and Fruit cake were formulated with dehydrated rind flour at different levels. Tutti-frutti, Candy and Petha were best accepted at 60° brix sugar concentration. Mean sensory scores revealed that incorporation of WRF at 30, 10 and 10 per cent along with refined wheat flour in cookies, sponge cake and fruit cake were accepted respectively. Nutrient analysis of best accepted products indicated good sources of crude fibre, calcium, iron and potassium. The sensory profile of candy and petha indicated good acceptability. However, as the storage period increased, the sensory scores were found to decrease slightly but the products were acceptable till 45days. The consumer acceptance of Candy and petha was found to be acceptable. The cost of production was lower for all these products since the raw material cost was nil. Hence, watermelon rind is a good nutritious by-product that can be utilized in bakery and value added products in both fresh and dehydrated forms.ThesisItem Open Access DEVELOPMENT OF FERMENTED SNACK AND BEVERAGE FROM MALTED SORGHUM (Sorghum bicholor)(UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES GKVK, BENGALURU, 2019-08-22) DAVANA, T.
