Overview

Quality analysis reveals enhanced antioxidant activity and nutritional content in bread with tomato powder, suggesting improved shelf-life stability.

Key Points

  • To evaluate the impact of tomato powder on the nutritional composition and quality of functional bread.
  • Incorporated tomato powder at varying levels into bread recipes.
  • Performed proximate analysis to measure nutrient changes.
  • Conducted microbiological analysis to assess shelf-life and microbial growth.
  • Executed sensory analysis to determine product acceptability.
  • Increased fiber content from 0.45% to 1.48% and ash from 1.31% to 1.75%.
  • Enhanced antioxidant activity and phenolic compounds significantly.
  • Slower microbial growth in higher tomato powder samples compared to control.
  • Optimal sensory quality observed at 6% tomato powder incorporation.
