ABSTRACT

Drumstick (Moringa oleifera) pod powder was analyzed for proximate composition, ascorbic acid and mineral content and evaluated for their potential to develop biscuits and mathri. Results showed that 100g drumstick pod powder had protein 10.18 g, fat 5.43 g, ash 5.09 g, fibre 4.85 g, carbohydrate 74.46 g, energy 387 kcal, ascorbic acid 292 mg, calcium 6.66 mg, iron 31.50 mg, sodium 202.98 mg, potassium 1772 mg, zinc 1.25 mg, copper 1.07 mg and manganese 3.99 mg. Acceptability of products was assessed on 9 point hedonic scale by a group of 10 panel members. Scores of drumstick biscuit and mathri were graded between 7 and 8 respectively indicating that both products were highly acceptable by the panel members. Products developed from drumstick pod powder were rich in energy and micronutrients and could be easily prepared at household level and adopted for small scale entrepreneurship to generate income.
