A Study on Awareness of Calcium Among Geriatrics and Development of High Calcium Granola Bar
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 5
Abstract
Sesame seeds are a non-dairy food source of calcium consisting of rich source of calcium in it, other non dairy food source of calcium includes chia seeds, flax seeds, sunflower seeds, figs, almonds and dates. These seeds and nuts provide good amount of calcium and meets daily required amount of calcium needs thereby helping in the process of calcification of skeletal muscles. A non-dairy food source of calcium helps in meeting their daily calcium requirement and prevents osteoporosis during old age. Five samples of high calcium granola bars are prepared using sample one as control or reference containing hand rolled gluten free oats as the primary ingredient, from sample 2-5 they are fortified with sesame seeds at the rate of 10, 20, 30, 40 grams of sesame seeds and different calcium rich seeds and nuts. The study was done at “Hyderabad”, the sample size consists of 60 subjects according to data collected 28.3% had no idea of function of calcium during old age. Each subject is provided with a developed product to create awareness and to test the acceptability of the product. The data collected from the sensory evaluation was compiled and‘t’ test was applied to find out significance of difference between mean score of the sensory properties of the basic and variations. The study provides scope to conduct supplementation trials for geriatrics.
