Arora M. Sheikh. S, Verma.A,Yadav A


Chickpea (Cicer arietinum) flour added with oats, vegetables and seeds powders were used for the standardization of Ready-to-Cook (RTC) nutritious mixture. The acceptable level of seeds flour (niger and flax, incorporated 2.5% to 5%), vegetables powder (carrots and beans) and oats (1.25% to 20%) in chickpea flour mix was assessed and standardized for the sensory characteristics. The value added nutritious mixture was evaluated to find out the overall acceptability. RTC nutritious mixture provides high amount of nutrients and less time required for preparation than traditional besan cheela mixture. The prepared mixture could be stored for 165 days at room temperature in low density polyethylene.
