Buckwheat is an underutilized pseudo- cereal which has potential as a functional food ingredient. The investigation study was carried out to formulate a buckwheat based soup mix. The different level of incorporation (0 to 50%) of gelatinised buckwheat flour was used to prepare soup mix at a different concentration. 30% buckwheat flour incorporation was identified as the best based on proximate, functional and sensory parameters. Storage study at ambient condition, showed a declining trend in sensory score, whereas the total plate count was increasing. The developed instant buckwheat soup mix requires less time for preparation without compensating on the health benefits. Non-communicable diseases (NCD) are chronic diseases that are not transmissible from one person to another. The scope of the study indicated that the effect of buckwheat incorporated instant soup mix helps to prevent non-communicable diseases.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
