"Nutritional profiling &Examination of packaging capability of value-added rice candy "

Food and nutrition

An attempt was made to create a rice-based candy that also contained dry mushroom and walnut! powder in order to create a nutri candy for the teenage population that is unable to obtain the necessary nutrition value from their food on a regular basis. Here analysis of the nutritional value , morphological structure, antimicrobial testing and etc was done The moisture content of mushroom powder, walnut powder and rice powder were found to be 12%, 6% and 10% respectively. Ash content was to found m maximum in rice powder, then in walnut powder and least in the mushroom powder. The FTIR spectra of prepared rice base candy show prominent peak at 3375.2 cm-1 and the stretching vibration peak of hydroxyl in the molecule indicating that was successfully embedded in the starch molecule. Vitamins & carbohydrates are observed at 855.7 and 572.3 cm-1. , it was observable from the cross-sections of film that the control film surface was smooth, while the candy film was little bit rough.
