Abstract

The Aim is to formulate and evaluate the vegetables powders (broccoli, spinach, drumstick pod). Which has Excellent Nutritional properties. These all vegetables is enriched with excellent minerals contains such as calcium, potassium, Phosphorus, Iron, Magnesium, Zinc. It’s also enriched with carbohydrate, Protein, vitamins (A,B,C,K), fatty acids, fibers and essential amino acids. the dehydration is an important unit operation to make vegetables in dried powder form; which increases the preservation capacity, longer shelf life, and reduces the transportation and storage cost. The powders were mixed; passed by sieve meshes. And evaluated by estimation of various physico chemical determination such as Protein, carbohydrate, fats, Mineral ash content, L-ascorbic acid (vitamin c) content; powder characteristics were measured by Bulk density, Tap density, Hauser’s ratio, Carr’s index, optical measurement by color value (L,a,b).
