The interest in the development of gorgon nut and millets-based snack bar came due to their abundance nutritive qualities. The research study was undertaken for the standardization of ready-to-eat snack bars with effective utilization of gorgon nut and millets (pearl millet, finger millet, and amaranth). The four formulations of snack bars were developed with varying concentrations of gorgon nut as 0% (Control), 5% (MGB1), 10% (MGB2), and 15% (MGB3) with 10% composite millet blend. The results of sensory evaluation confirmed that the addition of gorgon nut powder at 5% in the snack bar was most acceptable by the sensory panellist on the 9-point hedonic scale. The addition of gorgon nut and millets showed an enhanced nutritional profile. The proximate analysis of the most accepted snack bar with a 5% gorgon nut and 10% millets blend revealed 8.31% protein, 0.75% ash, 76.77% carbohydrates, and 59.47% DPPH radical scavenging activity. Microbial studies revealed that it could be stored for up to 90 days without any microbial contamination with good overall acceptability. This study indicated that a developed functional snack bar enables the snack market to develop a novel and healthy alternative of snack bar with a unique combination of gorgon nut and millets.
