Description In recent years the demand for convenience foods has increased due to
changing life styles. At present the consumers are more interested in food products of
good quality that provide convenience along with health benefits. As a result several
traditional ready-mixes suiting Indian palate have become increasingly popular in dayto-
day life of majority of the urban Indian consumers.
Realizing the health promoting effects of minor millets, present research was
an attempt to develop value-added foods of commercial importance using Foxtail
millet (Setaria italica).
Decorticated Foxtail millet (FM) grains were procured from Hyderabad outlet
of an NGO-Deccan Development Society. Popping and milling into flour and
semolina were carried out both for raw and popped millet.
Eight traditional convenience foods namely Idli mix (IM), Dhokla mix (DM),
Pancake mix (PM), Upma mix (UM), Chakli mix (CM), Vada mix (VM), Payasam
mix (PaM) and Noodles (N) were prepared by incorporation of raw/ popped FM flour
or semolina substituting the main ingredient (cereal/ legume) in the control recipe and
by dry blending of all ingredients. The developed convenience mixes and noodles
were cooked into products and tested for their acceptability using five-point Hedonic
scale. Selected convenience mixes and noodles were assessed for their proximate
composition, physico-chemical properties and storage stability at monthly intervals for
three-month storage period. It was found that the most acceptable level of
incorporation of Foxtail millet for IM was 50%, DM-50%, PM-75%, CM-50%,
VM- 50%, PaM-100% and N-40%. The most accepted convenience mixes and noodles
were studied for proximate principles. Protein, fat, total ash and crude fibre were
found to be significantly higher (p
