| Abstract: | This paper focuses on the preparation and quality evaluation of Masular, a traditional food of Tharu community of Nepal. A survey was performed prior to product preparation. The proximate and microbiological analysis and yield and cost calculation of the final product was carried out. The moisture content, crude protein, crude fat, crude fiber, total ash, and carbohydrate content of Masular was found to be 10.12%, 41.51%, 13.97% , 4.77 %, 20.11% and 7.62%, respectively. The microbiological analysis of the product revealed the total plate count to be 9.6 ± 1.6x105 cfu/gm, Staphylococcus count to be 6 ± 1.5x105 cfu/gm and mold count to be 25 ± 1.2x102 cfu/gm, and negative results for Salmonella and Shigella. Nutritionally rich Masular could be prepared at lower cost. |
