Proximate, Mineral content and Microbial analysis of Millet Fruit bars

Millet fruit bar is a result of the modification carried out on Pure fruit bars (100% dried fruits), which is a product of HPW Fresh and Dry Limited, Eastern region, Ghana. In order to reduce cost of production and to make the product affordable for an average consumer, millet fruit bar was developed (20% millet: 80% dried fruits) to close that gap. The project focused on the analysis of percent crude fat, carbohydrate, crude protein, ash and crude fiber content of the new food product. The level of some minerals [Ca, K, Na, Zn, Fe] present in the food product was determined, as well as the presence or absence of selected microorganisms. This book contains relevant information, facts and values that can be used as literature for a similar project work.
