The study was taken up with an aim to see whether there is any variations in cooking quality and organoleptic attributes after cooking and over all acceptance of the essential commodities supplied by six districts of A.P under Amma hastham scheme.
There was no significant difference in flavour, taste, and overall acceptability in the quality of products prepared with wheat flour, oil, sugar, turmeric, chillipowder, iodised salt between the districts. The products prepared with whole wheat grain wheat flour showed significant difference in texture (p<0.01).

Thus the study helps in change of general perception of the public and develops confidence towards food security schemes
