 ABSTRACT

One of the specific objective of this study is to analyze the nutrient content of products formulated from tender tamarind leaves powder. The products were formulated by incorporating the tender tamarind leaves powder. Among nine formulated products three best accepted product were finalized by 20 semi-trained membersby using 9-point hedonic scale, the best accepted products were roasted bengal gram chutney powder(RBCP-1), niger seed chutney powder (NSCP-1) and hurigalu (HG-2) these products were carried out for nutrient analysis. It has been found that (RBCP-1)had moisture, protein, fat, crude fibre, carbohydrate, energy and ash content were in the range of 9.0 per cent, 13.54 g, 10.2 g, 3.10 g, 60.0 g, 386 Kcal and 4.87 g/100 g respectively.(NSCP-1) had moisture (5.4 %), protein (15.34 g), fat (30.0 g), crude fibre (14.92 g), carbohydrate (31.14 g), energy (456 Kcal) and ash (3.2 g)/100g. The vitamins and minerals content in both the chutney powders were in appreciable quantity. (HG-2) had moisture, protein, fat, crude fibre, carbohydrate, energy and ash content were in the range of 2.4 per cent, 21.3 g, 9.65 g, 3.12 g, 59.53 g, 410 Kcal  and  4.0 g/100 g respectively. Whereas β -carotene and vitamin C content were 143.2 µg and 23.6 mg per 100 g respectively. Iron and calcium were 3.44 mg and 116.1 mg per 100 g respectively. The formulated products were got good acceptability and also rich in all essentials micro and macronutrients, hence these products can be promoted for daily use.
