Abstract:
A neutrient rich product is demonstrated to have a physiological benefit or provide protection against diseases. Apart from this they play an important role in disease management and therapy. This project is based on the formation of calcium rich bars with the composite flour of water chestnut and all purpose flour. Keeping in mind the increasing problem of osteoporosis these days because of less intake of calcium-based products, this composite flour provides a good source of calcium that combat osteoporosis. Water chestnuts are storehouses of minerals, vitamins, starch, fiber, and phenolic compounds. Their starch and fiber content makes them a good addition to the diet. Since they have a high nutritive value, it is linked to several health benefits and can serve as a dietary calcium supplement. Most important benefit of using waterchestnut flour is it is a good alternative for people who are sensitive to gluten content because there is no gluten in it. Therefore, it is not going to cause allergic reaction to them so products made from waterchestnut flour can be used by gluten intolerant people as well.
