Amaranth (pseudo millet), Foxtail millet, Instant soup mix, microbial quality, hidden hunger.

Background: Owing to the changing lifestyle and need for convenience has instigated the food researchers and manufacturers to formulate the soup mixes in the ready to reconstitute form. Amaranth(pseudo-millet) and foxtail millet known to be a millennium crop or superfood with pertinent nutraceutical values comprising significant amount of protein, dietary fiber, micro-minerals, tocopherols, tocotrienols, phenolic compounds, flavonoids. Objectives : Proposed experimental nutrition investigation aimed at designing instant soup mix using millets, dehydrated vegetables with determining nutritional quality & stability aspects. Materials & methods: Formulated instant soup mix was Investigated for the proximate, minerals, physio-chemical properties using standard operating AOAC protocol. Sensory attributes were analyzed by using 9-point hedonic scale. Quality stability study was done at room temperature for a period of 30 days. Results: Markedly sensory characteristics of the formulation was accepted with 8.5 sensory score. Proximate composition of the instant soup mix revealed a significant amount of CHO (68.59g/100gm), Protein (14.0g/100gm), Total Fat (5.3g/100gm), Crude fiber (2.21g/100gm), Dietary Fiber (16.8g/100gm), Total Moisture (2.936%). The minerals present are Zinc (2.84mg/100g), Iron (6mg/100g) and Folate (29.5mg/100g). Instant soup mix noticed to be free from microbial contamination. Conclusion: The RTC soup mix aims to be hassle free, convenient, meal substituent contributing micronutrients such as iron, folate, zinc, calcium. Notably the value-added millet Formulation found to combat hidden hunger; a salient underlining risk factor for the burden of disease. It is often known to render antioxidant, cardio-protective actions, anti-microbial actions which could support in treating malnutrition, fetal development, constipation, anemia.
