Attempts were made to develop Sprouts Tikki, for supplementation in December 2022 as part of Ph.D thesis, in order to overcome folic acid deficiency and overweight among the population. Bengal gram (whole) and green gram (whole) are rich in folic acid, fibre and sprouting increases their vitamin C content. Hence, these two pulses heave been taken up for the development of tikki after sprouting them. According to the nutrient analysis on Sprouts Tikki, the food product contains a good amount of folic acid and fibre.The high fibre content in the Sprouts Tikki will slow down the process of digestion and gives a feeling of fullness.This will reduce the craving for food which will eventually lead to reduction of weight. The high Folic acid content will help to manage its deficiency. An Organoleptic evaluation was performed for three variations of the Sprouts Tikki and ST1 wasthe most accepted one by the sensory panel with a mean of 7.033±1.12903. The storage study revealed that the newly developed Sprouts Tikki remains in good edible condition for a period of one week with TFC reaching 1x102cfu/g and TPC reaching 15x102cfu/g.The amount of phytic acid in the sprouts tikki was determined to be 0.450 mg/100g. The low cost of the product makes it affordable to all the classes of the society.
