Abstract
A study was conducted to develop low calorie and high fiber food formulation and to evaluate its shelf life. Parameters such as microbialload, moisture, peroxide value, free fatty acids and sensory qualities were assessed for a period of 90 days.Significant increase in totalbacterial count was observed as storage period increased and also differed significantly for packaging material. Maximum bacterial countwas observed for glass container (18.33x104 CFU) followed by plastic (14.66x104 CFU) and steel (11.6x104 CFU) container after 90 days ofstorage.A gradual increase in the moisture content was observed in all the samples irrespective of packaging material. However peroxidevalue (26.2 meq/kg) and per cent free fatty acid (9.48 %) were found to be higher for sample stored in plastic container as compared to steeland glass containers. With regard to sensory evaluation, products developed from food formulation were in acceptable range th...
