Wheat, a staple in the Indian diet, is energy-dense and provides valuable carbohydrates and proteins. Pearl Millet, the most commonly grown type of millet, is renowned for its high calorie, vitamin, and mineral content. Mung beans, part of the legume family, are calorie-dense and a great source of protein and polyunsaturated fatty acids. In this study, cluster fig powder, germinated wheat flour, germinated mung bean flour, germinated pearl millet, carrot powder, and beetroot powder were utilized for product development. Two products were developed with three treatments, varying the quantity of ingredients. Sensory and proximate analysis were conducted on the developed products, with each treatment having three different replications to minimize errors during analysis.

A physicochemical test relies on the rice chemical composition, cooking quality, gelatinization temperature and physical properties of cooked rice. The aim of this study was to determine the physicochemical characteristics of selected Kenyan and Tanzanian genotypes based on gel consistency and alkali digestion. Diverse classes of rice exist with different expression levels of gel consistency and alkali digestion. As these traits are major contributors to the eating and cooking quality traits, unscrupulous traders mix both low and high-grade rice hence making enormous profits from their sales. Minitab 17.0 software package was used to determine the means and the standard error of means of the gel consistency physicochemical test results while the alkali digestion values were determined based on the standard evaluation system by International Rice Research Institute. Majority of the genotypes had high alkali digestion. Based on the gel consistency test, the average GC values ranged from 31.50 mm in ITA 310 to 99.5 mm in IR 2793. Genotype BS 217 showed significant difference from Kilombero, IR 64, Kahogo, Saro 5, ITA 310, IR 54, Wahiwahi and BW 196. These results show that physicochemical characterization using the available test procedures can be effectively utilized in analysis of diversity in rice germplasm

In India pasta is used as a fast food and if the nutritional properties of the pasta will be enhanced then it can be easily useful as a regular food. Pasta with ideal sensory and physical quality is characterized by elasticity and strength of the dough, high tensile strength and minimum cooking losses. India is largest producer of Drumsticks with an annual production of 1.1 to 1.3 million tons of tender fruits from an area of 380km 2. Drumsticks are a store house of important and anti-nutrients. All the parts of this tree are useful for Nutritional, Medicinal and Allied purpose. Drumsticks can be an extremely valuable source of various nutrients for people of all ages. Drumsticks is the richest source of Iron, beta carotene, providing micronutrient including protein, vitamin c, folic acid, Zinc and also calcium and potassium (Gopalan, 2000) Drumsticks leaves also contain good amount of Folates, Thiamine, Pyridoxine and Niacin, Antioxidants such as Flavonoids. Drumsticks are full of essential disease preventing nutrients. In India tradition maintains that the nearing tree can cure 300 diseases. The investigation was carried out in the Food Science and Nutrition Department, College of Home Science, CSA U & T, Kanpur. For this study Drumsticks powder has been prepare by sun drying method. Pasta (extruded product) has been prepared from the Drumsticks powder. Each product has three treatments and one control along with three different replications. Prepared product evaluated with sensory evaluation. According to Sensory Evaluation T1 (7.47) were Best in the product of Pasta among the three treatment that is ''liked moderately and liked slightly''. So, the study suggests that drumstick can be used for prepared fortified food products because of its high acceptability and nutritional and medicinal quality.
