Food industry
generates massive waste, which is a concern not only to environment but also
loss of valuable biomass. The foremost benefit of industrial waste is that it
is available at zero cost and in immense quantities.
Pea pods which
otherwise are discarded in bins or at finest used for animal feed is exploited
for its nutritional benefits in present study. Pea powder formulated
was found rich in crude protein, fibre and ash with exceptional good
amounts of iron.
Composition of
powder was 5% ash, 0.43% fat, 14.88% protein, 77.86% crude fibre, 61.43% total
carbohydrates and 309.11Kcal energy content The concept of healthy eating is
addressed in current analysis whereby, value added biscuits are devised by
substituting pea pod powder in place of refined wheat flour at 10%, 20% and 30%
level.
