Dragon fruit peel is a by-product of dragon fruit processing industry. The powder was prepared from fruit peel and utilized to make healthy and nutritious fiber rich biscuits. The biscuits were prepared by incorporating the 30, 40 and 50% level of dragon fruit peel. The baking and sensory properties of prepared biscuits were studied. Replacement of wheat flour upto 50% of dragon fruit peel powder is organoleptically accepted as well as fiber content was found maximum in dragon fruit peel powder biscuits (DFPB50). The overall acceptability of DFPB50 was 7.75 as compared to control (DFPB0). The fiber content of biscuits made with 50% incorporation of dragon fruit peel powder was 7.60 % as compared to control biscuits (1.10 %). Biscuits made up with half of wheat flour and half of dragon fruit peel powder was nutritionally rich as well as organoleptically acceptable.
