Abstract

Cookies serve as a beneficial source of which can be enhanced with protein by substituting some of the refined wheat flour. This study closely examined malted cookies made from ragi, barley, wheat flour, sugar, butter, and baking powder. Finger millet, or ragi, boasts a rich profile of protein, calcium, phosphorus, iron, fiber, and vitamins. Its calcium content surpasses that of all other cereals, and its iodine concentration is the highest among food grains. Ragi is known for its excellent quality protein and contains essential amino acids, vitamin A, vitamin B, and phosphorus.

Malted ragi and barley flour offer remarkable nutritional value, being rich in protein, carbohydrates, calcium, and essential minerals like phosphorus and iron in balanced quantities, which contribute to various health benefits. Evaluated four compositions and compared them with two commercial brands; based on sensory evaluation, compositions C1 and C2 were selected.
