Traditional and Non-Traditional Grain-Based Products: Addressing Challenges Through Formulation and Processing

Key Points

• The research aims to explore how different formulation and processing techniques can improve the nutritional value of grain-based products.
• Evaluated traditional and non-traditional grain-based food formulations.
• Analyzed processing techniques to enhance nutrient retention and bioavailability.
• Conducted sensory evaluations to assess consumer preferences.
• Certain processing methods significantly increased the bioavailability of nutrients in grain products (p<0.05).
• Consumer preference ratings improved for non-traditional grains, indicating a shift in dietary trends.
• Formulation changes led to a 20% increase in overall nutritional value in tested products.
