1) The document describes the development of a nutritious double chocolate almond biscotti product and a study of its shelf life. 2) Sensory evaluation was conducted on testers using a 5-point scale to standardize and finalize the recipe. The product scored well for taste, flavor, color and texture. 3) Weekly sensory evaluations over 4 weeks found the product maintained good characteristics for 3 weeks. By week 4, changes in taste and flavor were observed. The shelf life was labeled as 1 month. 4) A nutritional label and polypropylene packaging were developed. Budgeting showed a profit was made from selling 41 packets at Rs. 35 each.

15. IT WAS OBSERVED THAT THE USE OF MAIDA
WAS GIVING AN OFF FLAVOUR AND TASTE IN
THE PRODUCT AND AS MAIDA IS NOT
CONSIDERED GOOD FOR HEALTH WE
DECIDED TO REMOVE MAIDA & REPLACE IT
WITH WHEAT FLOUR
IT WAS THEREFORE STANDARDIZED AGAIN BY
ADDING WHEAT FLOUR FOR BETTER TASTE
AND COLOUR

16. SENSORY EVALUATION FOR
STANDARDIZED RECIPE
SCORING TEST WAS DONE WITH THE HELP OF
SEMI -TRAINED PANELISTS. ATTRIBUTES
CONSIDERED WERE COLOR, TEXTURE, TASTE
AND AROMA WHICH WERE SCORED ON A 5
POINT SCALE, WHERE - 5 = EXCELLENT, 4 =
VERY GOOD, 3 = GOOD, 2 = FAIR, 1= POOR.

19. SENSORY EVALUATION FOR SHELF LIFE
STUDY
• TO STUDY THE SHELF LIFE OF DOUBLE
CHOCOLATE ALMOND BISCOTTI SENSORY
EVALUATION WAS CONDUCTED
• EVERY WEEK WHICH WAS DONE BY SEMI-
TRAINED PANEL MEMBERS(TOTAL NO.= 20).

TASTE , APPEARANCE, FLAVOR AND OVER ALL
ACCEBILITY WERE SCORED OUT OF 5 WHERE 5
= EXCELLENT, 4 = VERY GOOD, 3 = GOOD, 2 =

23. NUTRITIONAL LABEL

24. PACKAGING MATERIAL
POLYPROPYLENE
• It is also known as polypropylene,
• It is a thermoplastic polymer
• used in a wide variety of applications including
packaging and labeling, textiles, stationary and
reusable containers, etc.
• It is tough and flexible, often opaque.
• It has a good resistance to sunlight, air, relative
humidity.
• During Processing of polymer, Antioxidants (Vitamin E)
are added to avoid degradation.
• The main idea to use this packaging material is
because it is cost-effective and as resistant to other
sources.
