According to classical texts of Ayurveda, Powder of roasted and dehusked Yava (barley) is known as Saktu. Liking and disliking for any food article depends on senses of consumer. For deciding the consumer’s choice toward the food products, sensory parameters followed by the nutritional properties are required to be considered. Aim and objectives: To standardize recipe of Sattu-Mantha and sensory evaluation of Sattu-Manha. Material and methods: In present study, sensory evaluation of Yava (Barley) Sattu prepared by two different methods has been carried out. Sattu was served in the form of Mantha. In this study scoring for different sensory parameters was done by using 9-point Hedonic scale (Lawless and Klein, 1991). Results and Conclusion: On the bases of scores given to different sensory parameters, Sattu-Mantha prepared by both the methods is accepted by assessors but Sattu-Mantha prepared by using sugar powder was much liked by assessors as compared to Sattu-Mantha prepared by using Jaggery powder.
