Cardiovascular diseases continue to be the major cause of morbidity and mortality in industrialized society. Various studies indicate the consumption of a vegetarian diet or a diet high in cereal fiber appears to be associated with reduced risk of cardiovascular diseases. Based on this, a product was developed which is not only high in fiber, low in saturated fats, high in PUFA and MUFA but also a good source of phytochemicals and antioxidant. The products were developed ( basic with sugar-sample A, variations with jaggery- sample B and artificial sweetener-sample C) using bajra, oats, wheat bran, flax seeds, whole green gram, almonds and walnuts. The nutritive value per 100g of the basic recipe (energy – 389kcal, protein- 13g, fat – 12g, fiber – 6.5g) and variations were calculated. The pH and alcoholic acidity of the products were estimated using standard procedures. The products were subjected to sensory analysis through Hedonic rating test and the results revealed that sample B scored the highest. The cost of the products per 100g ranged from Rs. 9 to Rs. 14. From the results it is clear that the sample B prepared with jaggery was the most acceptable and hence, can be recommended for the patients suffering with cardiovascular diseases.
