Abstract:
Dioscorea (yam) flour is utilized for the preparation of cookies along with Moringa leaf powder which improves nutritional value of cookies by value addition of Dioscorea flour. Hence, the present investigation “Standardization of recipe for Dioscorea flour-based cookies supplemented with Moringa leaf powder and blended with wheat flour using palm jaggery” was carried out at Department of Post Harvest Technology, College of Horticulture, Dr. Y.S.R. Horticultural University, Venkataramannagudem, Andhra Pradesh in a completely randomized design with 14 treatments and replicated twice in the year 2022. The chemical parameters for cookies were evaluated up to 60 days of storage at 20 days interval period. The treatment combination for the chemical parameters, T₂ (30 DF : 5 MP : 65 WF) recorded minimum reduction in fibre (3.31%), protein (14.10%), potassium (0.181%) and Vitamin C (12.97 mg 100 g^-1) and low moisture content of (5.39%) and low starch content of (47.15%) followed by T₁ (20 DF : 0 MP : 80 WF) with fibre (2.33%), protein (11.79%), potassium (0.164%) and Vitamin C (12.41 mg 100 g^-1) and low moisture content of (5.11%) and low starch content of (48.42%) at 60^th day of storage which were recorded as the best treatments in the present study.
