The present study was carried out in the department of food Science and Nutrition, Chandra Shekhar Azad University of agriculture and technology, Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh with the objective of “Nutritive value and organoleptic evaluation of NutriBar prepared from Ragi flour, Dates and Amla powder to promote Superfoods” Superfood is a relativity recent way of referring to foods that provide the most nutritious value for the fewest calories. They include a wealth of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. Three superfoods viz. Ragi flour, Dates and Amla powder were used for making incorporated product i.e., NutriBar in three treatments i.e. (T₁, T₂, T₃) and same control product T0(non- incorporated) are made in control products, Incorporated NutriBar and Control NutriBar were analysed for its sensory characteristics. This revealed that all incorporated products had better quality in terms of colours, taste, texture, flavour, and overall acceptability than Control products (non-incorporated). It can be Interpreted from the current study that incorporation of the Ragi flour, Dates and Amla powder in food product (NutriBar) increased their nutritional value. Ragi flour, Dates and Amla powder enhance the protein, calcium, vitamin C, Iron content in the incorporated food product (NutriBar). Food products (NutriBar) incorporated with Ragi flour, Dates and Amla powder more nutritious than control (non-incorporated) food samples prepared from 100 percent peanuts, almond and jaggery.
