摘要

Athletes who are trained to elevate their performance are dependent on an adequate amount of protein. Soya chunks and eggs provide complete protein. Soya chunks are textured vegetable protein that facilitates muscle recovery, reduces soreness, and promotes optimal performance. The high dietary fiber in cookies balances gut microbiota which improves digestion and nutrient absorption. Protein cookies are pre-made and nutritious with more protein content than regular snack cookies. The aim is to develop a healthy and delicious post-workout protein snack. Two formulations of protein cookies were developed using different ingredients, including soya chunks, eggs, black gram, dark chocolate, almonds, and sugar in the first variant. The second variant replaces black gram with red gram. Sensory evaluation was conducted using 9-point Hedonic scale method and proximate analysis of the product was employed. The mean scores for the accepted variant were as follows: taste 7.4 ± 1.13, odor 6.86 ± 1.30, color 7.93 ± 0.78, and texture 7.23 ± 1.04. The first variant of the cookies received higher overall acceptability, with a mean score of 7.233 ± 0.773. Customers preferred the first variation due to its crispy texture and pleasant aroma. The Nutritional profile of Egg Nutri-Nugget protein cookies was examined consisting of energy 402.90 kcal; carbohydrates 59.70 g; protein 17.68 g; fat 10.37 g; fiber 11.13 g; total ash 2.68 and moisture 9.56 g as per 100 g. Isoflavones present in soya chunks have the additional benefit of alleviating PCOS symptoms among female athletes. These Protein Cookies are specifically designed to resemble delicious snacks and are conveniently packaged for quick and easy consumption.
