Editing Effect of Oats and Millet composition in Gluten-free Nutrient wafer (section)

== '''4. CONCLUSION''' ==
Millets based wafer developed in this work is a nutrient dense, gluten free alternative to traditional grains that can have a variety of health benefits. They are a great source of protein, minerals and dietary fiber. Also, millets are less expensive and functionally unique from traditional grains for its gluten free properties [19,20].

The product Nutri-wafer contains oats, honey peanut and butter which have been included for value addition. Honey is a source of antioxidants, Anti-inflammatory and immunity-boosting components. It Improves lipid (fat) metabolism [21,22]. It is rich in vitamins and minerals, promotes healthy gut bacteria and improves digestion, making it helpful in managing gastrointestinal issues like ulcers and gastroenteritis. It is a good source of carbohydrates, hence, it can be used as pre and post-workout food. Millet is a beneficial component of a diabetic diet. Pearl millets contain resistant starches and fibrous oligosaccharides that are digested slowly and maintain a stable glycemic condition. Thus it is a healthy food option for diabetics. The soluble oat fiber contains beta-glucans [6]. They helps in lowering blood cholesterol. Important phytochemicals present in oats also help in lowering the chances of contracting many chronic diseases and cancer. Daily consumption of Millet and oats also contributes to reducing high blood pressure. As a result routine consumption can reduce the need for antihypertensive and antidiabetic medications. Millets and oats can also contribute to major nutrition and calories. Components of Oats can control many metabolic pathway components resulting in improved health [7,10].

However, it is not only the sensory properties are the only determinant of consumer acceptance. Social and environmental factors, nutritional knowledge, the likeliness of specific food, choice and preference of products, food habits, packaging, etc., have a great influence on the success of a product in the market. For these reasons, sensory analysis, along with consumer research, is required to be done by the industries for commercialization. Simultaneously quality improvement and constant innovations need to be an integral part of it [2,8,12,13], which helps to better elucidate the innovative technologies and their implementation at stages of new product development.
