Abstract: Ragi (Eleusine coracana) is a nutrient-dense millet, rich in protein, calcium, and iron, and is considered beneficial in addressing mineral deficiencies such as calcium and iron deficiency. In this study, the T1 formulation of ragi laddu was evaluated for its sensory and nutritional qualities. Sensory analysis showed high acceptability, with scores of 4.0 for color, 4.1 for texture, aroma, and taste, 4.3 for appearance, and 4.1 for overall acceptability. Nutritional analysis revealed that T1 contained 11.15% moisture, 16.5% fat, 10.73% crude protein, 55.41% carbohydrate, 1.68% ash, and 4.52% crude fiber. The mineral content was also notable, with calcium and iron levels of 199.02 mg/100 g and 4.50 mg/100 g, respectively. These findings suggest that the T1 ragi laddu is a nutrient-rich and organoleptically acceptable product, with potential to improve dietary calcium and iron intake.
