Abstract
Instant soup mix powder is a convenient and
nutritious ready-to-cook food product developed to provide quick preparation,
good sensory acceptability and nutritional value. The present study aimed to
develop and evaluate a microgreen incorporated foxtail millet and raw banana
based instant soup mix powder with improved nutritional and sensory qualities.
Different formulations of instant soup mix were prepared in six formulations
(T0-T5). Sensory evaluations were carried out using a nine-point hedonic scale
by a semi-trained panel of 15 judges. Among the formulations T3 was recorded
the highest total mean sensory score of 8.81, which contains foxtail powder and
raw banana powder (15%), Mushroom powder (5%), Corn flour (20%), Defatted soy
flour (5%), dehydrated carrots (10%) and radish microgreens (5%), milk powder
(10%), garlic powder (3%), onion powder (5%), pepper (2%), and salt (5%). The
selected formulation was selected for nutritional analysis, shelf-life study
and microbial analysis. Nutritional analysis revealed
carbohydrate content of 41.57g/100g, protein 6.25g/100g, fat 2.98g/100g, crude
fibre5.15g/100g, calcium 111.28mg/100g, potassium 92.31mg/100g, iron
3.90mg/100g, moisture 6.8g/100g, ash 7.24g/100g, carotenoid 0.246mg/g and
energy 215.91 kcal.
