Development of Value-Added Food Products from Tropical Tubers
Abstract:
A study was conducted to develop value added food products from tropical tubers. Among the minor tubers, Amorphophalluspaeoniifolius, Typhonium trilobatum and colocasia esculenta were selected and subjected to diff erent pre-treatments and standardized value added products. The sensory evaluation and nutritional analysis showed that the products developed by using tubers were acceptable up to 30 per cent incorporation. The standardized products from the selected tubers
can be explored co age industries for income generation and employment opportunities. Tuber crops have a prominent role in feeding the world and these crops are going to be an important component in food security system in the coming
decades.
