PROCESSING OF MAKHANA AND VALUE ADDITION THERE AFTER SUCH AS ROASTED MAKHANA, FLAVOUR MAKHANA, MAKHANA CHIPS, MAKHANA KHEER
[CODE NO 3904]  


Euryale which is also known as Makhana, Phool Makhana, Foxnut, lotus seeds, Gorgon nut, Euryale Ferox commonly found in Bihar and in Loktak Lake Manipur. The Makhana plant is cultivated for its seeds in lowland ponds in India, China, and Japan. As per the National Research Centre for Makhana, Darbhanga (ICAR), total area under makhana cultivation in India is estimated to be 15000 Ha. It yields 1,20,000 MT of makhana seeds, which after processing yields 40,000 MT of makhana pop. In India around 63% of the total Makhana production comes from Bihar. Makhana is highly nutritious, fully organic non-cereal food superior to dry fruits such as almonds, walnut, coconut and cashewnut in term of sugar, protein, ascorbic acid and phenol content.100 gm Makhana contains 350 kcal, 9.7gm easily digestible protein, 77gm carbohydrate, 12.8gm moisture, 0.1gm fat, 90mg phosphorus & 1.4mg iron. Makhana seeds are often roasted or fried then eaten with a sprinkling of oil and spices. The present project profile envisages manufacturing of ready to eat Makhana snacks in different flavours.
