Abstract

Background: Gluten-free bakery foodstuffs are a challenge for technologists and nutritionists since alternative ingredients used in their formulations have poor functional and nutritional properties. Objective: To prepare gluten-free Laddoo using raw and popped amaranth, a grain with high quality nutrients and promising good sensory qualities and formulate the best combinations. Method: Amaranth grains were washed, spread over filter paper sheet and dried completely. After drying, the grains were ground in an electric grinder to fine powder and supplemented at 50 and 100 per cent level in the preparation of Laddoos. The Laddoos prepared by using Bengal gram flour served as control. Result: The best formulation for Laddoo included 100% popped amaranth grains and 30–40% raw amaranth flour which produced good sensory quality and higher in nutrients like protein and minerals than with control laddoo. The best Laddoo recipe had 20% of raw amaranth flour and 100% of whole-grain popped amaranth. The results of the study indicated that with the increase in incorporation level of amaranth flour in Laddoo the amount of total dietary fibre, insoluble and soluble dietary fibre increased significantly. Conclusion: This study concluded that content of macro-nutrients of the amaranth based products has advantages over the conventional gluten-free ones, offering real gluten-free foodstuffs.
