Abstract :

In the current study the value added products like cookies and biscuits were prepared by incorporating muskmelon seed flour, Pearl millet and little millet flour. The proximate composition of the various flours blend used for the preparation was using standard method. Organoleptic evaluation was conducted to evaluate the sensory characteristics which include appearance, color, taste, flavor, texture. The muskmelon seed flour incorporated value added products were analyzed for energy, carbohydrate, protein, fat, fiber, moisture, starch, vitamin A , iron and antioxidant which are naturally present in the muskmelon seed is beneficial for human health. For Organoleptic evaluation found that cookies and biscuits were prepared in 15% of the muskmelon seed was highly accepted. In nutrient analysis energy moisture, Vitamin A, iron, starch was found higher in formulated products. The storage life and microbial analysis also assessed by the standard microbiological method. Finally the present study muskmelon seed incorporated value added products were very nutritious, locally available and economically reasonable. We have to create awareness about the formulated value added products to the community
