Sensory Characteristics of Zinc Fortified Millet Products.

Deficiency of zinc is believed to be as widespread as that of iron, with equally serious consequences.
Fortification of staple foods with this mineral is a cost effective method that can be
used to combat this deficiency. In this study, the sensory attributes of roti and dumpling prepared
from zinc-fortified millet flours stored for up to 60 days were evaluated. The products
prepared from fortified finger millet and sorghum flours were evaluated for sensory quality
attributes using quantitative descriptive analysis. The products were acceptable by the
sensory panel in terms of texture, aroma, and taste of the products.
