tailieunhanh - A study on microbial characteristics of food products developed from dates (Phoenix dactylifera L.)
Phoenix dactylifera L., commonly known as the date palm is a primeval plant and has been cultivated for its edible fruit in the desert oasis of the Arab world for centuries. This fruit is a rich source of carbohydrates, dietary fibers, certain essential vitamins and minerals. In addition to its dietary use the dates are of medicinal use and are used to treat a variety of ailments in the various traditional systems of medicine. The study was planned with the objectives to develop and assess the shelf life of value added products of dried dates. The dates products that is ready to cook (instant cake premix) and ready to eat (dates churan, dates cookies, and dates chakli) were developed and subjected to sensory evaluation. The shelf life of the standardized products was assessed based on sensory qualities (appearance, colour, taste, flavour, texture and overall acceptability) using nine point Hedonic scale, moisture content and microbial growth (yeast and mould count) for the period of 3 months. | A study on microbial characteristics of food products developed from dates Phoenix dactylifera L.
