Abstract:The objectives to optimize the process of making Pudding with addition of Sapota (
Manilkara zapota) and Whey Protein Isolate to study about improvement of nutritional status and assess the physico-chemical and cost estimation of the developed pudding.
The experimental pudding was prepared using whole milk, sapota pulp and whey protein isolate with different combination of these ingredients. The study was conducted with 16 treatments combinations i.e. T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, T6, T7, T8, T9, T10, T11, T12, T13, T14, T15 & T16 which were replicated 5 times each. Products were evaluated for their content in carbs, protein, fat, ash, total solids, moisture, acidity, and anti-oxidant activity. The combination of the treatment T4 had the highest content in total carbohydrates (32.86). The largest amount of fat was found in the T13 therapy combination (6.18). The highest proportion of ash was found in treatment combination T12 (1.96). The treatment combination T13 included the largest percentage of moisture, while treatment combination T8 had the highest percentage of overall solids (45.57). The price of the product was calculated for various treatment combinations.
