Abstract

Eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) is a significant vegetable crop that provides various minerals, vitamins, and dietary fibers along with important phytochemicals and has antioxidant properties. It possesses low calorific value with high moisture content, so it can work as an anti-obesity, anti-inflammatory, and anti-diabetic agent and also has cardioprotective functions. This study is based on the formation of eggplant powder which was utilized for the manufacturing of eggplant-based instant soup mixes to enhance oxidative and storage stability of soup. Treatments were selected on a hit-and-trial basis for product development. Eggplant powder was assessed for proximate composition, functional properties, and total phenolic contents. The product was prepared according to the selected treatment plan and analyzed for proximate analysis, functional properties, mineral analysis, and antioxidative test (polyphenolic contents and DPPH analysis). Storage study was performed at an interval of ten days, the product was reconstituted and evaluated for total phenolic contents and rheological properties on 0, 10th, 20th, and 30th day. Data was analyzed by applying statistics 8.1.
