Protein chewy candies.

Candies are a 'good to eat' food liked by children and adults alike. To make this popular item also into a `good for you' food, indigenously-available protein-enriched groundnut flour has been successfully incorporated to give 15-20 percent protein in the candies. Besides processing parameters, sensory quality attributes have been described. Panels of adults and children were used during development of the product for selection of preferred textures and flavours. Sensory evaluation has also been used to prove the acceptability of the product, as well as its storage life.
