Abstract

Micronutrient deficiencies are very rare in children because of unhygienic eating pattern. Growth and development in toddlers are life-changing experiences that have significant impact on individual future as well as health of any future generation. The purpose of this study was to investigate the potential inversion of therapeutic advantages of lotus seed oil based cookies for the child’s growth. The consumption of lotus seed oil cookies may prevent the abnormal growth of children. For this purpose seed oil based cookies was prepared for the child’s growth and assess their proximate composition (Ash content, moisture, crude protein, crude fiber, fat). Ash content was recorded 1.3%. Moisture content, crude protein, crude fiber, and fat were recorded 1.68%, 8.32% 2.66% and 2.64% respectively. NFE was also recorded that is 76.2%.TPC was analyzed during the storage period of 30 days. It was observe that values decreases from 83.02 to 76.8 mg GAE/100g over one month of storage. TPC increased significantly from 409.12 to 399.0 mg GAE/100g over 30 days. DPPH values increased in T4 from 75.40 to 80.72 and decreased in T0 from 28.80 to 25.02. The sensory evaluation of cookies was also analyzed. Sensory parameters were assessed. Texture score generally increased in T3 and lowest in T1 and T2. Taste score varied across treatment with T4 scoring the highest and T1 was recorded lowest. Overall acceptability score declined with storage, with T0 initially scoring the highest followed by T2, indicating changes in sensory perception overtime.
