The study was undertaken to know the nutritive value of processed germinated pulses and nuts flour and the acceptability of GPAN flour incorporated Ready to Cook mix recipes like Chappathi, Murukku, Adai, Puttu, Nutrient ball and Dosa. The nutrients analyzed in this study were moisture, protein, fat, ash, iron, phosphorus, fibre, calcium and vitamin E. The results reflected that there was slight increase in nutrient contents of the formulated Ready to Cook mix recipes with respect to standard. The storage quality of the processed GPAN flour also assessed. Popularization of GPAN flour was conducted among 30 primary school children’s mothers.

Abstract


The study was undertaken to know the nutritive value of processed germinated pulses and nuts flour and the acceptability of GPAN flour incorporated Ready to Cook mix recipes like Chappathi, Murukku, Adai, Puttu, Nutrient ball and Dosa. The nutrients analyzed in this study were moisture, protein, fat, ash, iron, phosphorus, fibre, calcium and vitamin E. The results reflected that there was slight increase in nutrient contents of the formulated Ready to Cook mix recipes with respect to standard. The storage quality of the processed GPAN flour also assessed. Popularization of GPAN flour was conducted among 30 primary school children’s mothers.
