Abutilon indicum leaves, commonly called as Thuthi leaves, are used in both Siddha and Ayurveda medicine. Extensive research has shown that the leaves can provide relief to overcome piles, leprosy, ulcer, gonorrhea, bladder infection, fever, urinary retention, joint pain exhaustion. It is rich in alkali that neutralises acidity in our body. A.indicum leaves exhibit antioxidant, anticancer, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, lipid lowering, analgesic, hepatoprotective, antimycotic, antidiarrhoeal, anti-convulsant, wound healing, anti- asthamatic, diuretic, immunomodulatory, larvicidal, glucose absorption, insulin secretion and hypoglycemic attributes. It also contains high fiber and protein rich substances. This paper attempts to explain the steps in developing moong dal laddu by incorporating A.indicum leaves in varying proportions and to evaluate its sensory properties. Moong dal laddus incorporated with A.indicum leaves were developed by taking A.indicum and moong dal in the ratio of 1:1, 1:3 and 3:1 respectively. Sensory analyses of the prepared laddus were performed by comparing with standard sample using a 5-point hedonic scale. Mean score values of sensory evaluation were higher for the sample which incorporated 150 g of moong dal and 50 g of A. indicum leaves. |
