Abstract
The formulation and evaluation of a Kiwi and Aloevera energy bar were investigated to develop a nutritious and functional snack that combines the antioxidant properties of kiwi with the health benefits of Aloe Vera. The energy bar was prepared by incorporating dried kiwi pulp and Aloevera gel into a base made from oats, nuts, and seeds, ensuring a balanced composition of carbohydrates, protein, fiber, and essential micronutrients. The formulation was optimized for taste, texture, and nutritional content. The energy bars were then evaluated for their physical characteristics, including texture, color, and appearance, as well as their nutritional profile, including moisture content, protein, fat, and fiber content.Sensory evaluation revealed high acceptability among panelists, and the bars demonstrated significant antioxidant activity due to the combined effects of kiwi and Aloe Vera. The results suggest that the Kiwi and Aloe Vera energy bar is a promising functional food product with potential health benefits for consumers seeking a convenient, nutritious, and energizing snack.Keyword : Energy bar ,Kiwi ,Aloevera ,formulation, evalution ,Antioxidant.
