dc.description.abstractFive nutritious value added products namely matthi, seviyan, pinni, panjiri and biscuits were developed using cereal-pulse flour (3:1), partially defatted peanut cake flour and green leafy vegetable powder for malnourished children. The products were first standardized with partially defatted peanut cake flour followed by fenugreek leaf powder in matthi and seviyan and spinach leaf powder in pinni, panjiri and biscuits. Matthi, seviyan and biscuits were acceptable at 10 per cent level while pinni and panjiri were acceptable with 15 per cent of peanut flour. Addition of fenugreek leaf powder was acceptable at 1 per cent in matthi and seviyan while spinach leaf powder was acceptable at 2 per cent in pinni and panjiri and 1.5 per cent in biscuits. Mean overall acceptability scores of developed products were significantly different (p < 0.01). The products were analyzed for nutritional composition. A significant (p < 0.01) difference was observed in terms of proximate composition among the developed products. Among the value added products, highest energy value was found as 492.85 kcal for pinni. Lysine and methionine content was observed highest in seviyan. In vitro protein digestibility was in the range of 60.22 to 80.13 per cent. The tannin content of the products decreased significantly. The developed products were stored in three different packaging material i.e. glass container, aluminium zip lock pouch+glass container and plastic zip pouch+glass container 90 days to check their shelf life and were found acceptable after sensory evaluation. To study the impact of supplementation of developed products on nutritional status of malnourished preschool children, a total of 110 children were selected from four ICDS centers of Ludhiana city. Out of total subjects, a sample of 60 preschool children in the age group of 3 to 5 years was selected for feeding trial on the basis of z scores. The subjects were divided into two groups i.e. experimental and control with 30 subjects in each group. The subjects of experimental group were supplemented with 120-150 g of the developed product for 120 days. A significant (p < 0.05), (p < 0.01) increase in intake of all food groups except for milk and milk products as well as all macro and micronutrients. An increase in weight (14.12%), BMI (14.64%), MUAC (1.64%), chest circumference (0.14%) and in biochemical parameters like blood albumin (17.35%), blood protein (9.28%) and haemoglobin (8.59%) was observed in the subjects of experimental group after supplementation. The developed products could be recommended for malnourished children under supplementary feeding programmes in the country.en_US
