Development and Quality Evaluation of “Ananta (Hemedismus indicus) Enriched Pedha”
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Nutrition - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
The study was undertaken to develop an innovative and nutrient dense dietary supplement for the purpose of gaining weight for underweight population. A novel, traditional Indian sweet, “Pedha” was fortified with Hemedismus indicus or Anatamul or Sariva root powder for its benefits such as balavardhak (aids in weight gain), blood purifier and a general tonic to boost energy levels. The fortification of Pedha with Sariva was assessed at various levels (T1 (control) to T4) using sensory and physico-chemical analysis. Based on sensory evaluation, the most acceptable treatment (T4: 65% Khoa + 25% powdered sugar + 10% Sariva root powder + 0.5% black pepper powder) was carried forward for quality analysis. A novel fortified Pedha was successfully developed and exhibited increased protein and carbohydrate values when compared with control sample. Sensory analysis with 10 semi trained panelists also exhibited highly desirable results in terms of product acceptability. Sariva root powder and black pepper powder fortification was carried out as per the reference found in ancient Ayurvedic literature, “Kshemakutuhala grantha”.
