Experimental nutri bars showed improved antioxidant capacity and dietary fiber compared to control bars, indicating potential health benefits for athletes.
Key Points
Experimental nutri bars exhibited higher total antioxidant capacity compared to control bars, which can improve athlete health.
Control bars had a lower dietary fiber and mineral content than experimental bars, which may not meet athlete nutritional needs.
Storage stability tests indicated increases in free fatty acids and peroxides over time in control bars, which could affect quality.
Phase-1 focused on standardizing the recipe with groundnuts and pumpkin seeds, while Phase-2 evaluated proximate content.
