Abstract
This study investigates the impact of hot air-assisted radio frequency (HARF) technology on the nutritional, functional, and sensory properties of Kodo millet-based snacks fortified with coconut haustorium powder. HARF treatment significantly enhanced the expansion ratio (3.315 ± 0.04) compared to control (2.85 ± 0.1), while also reducing microbial load. Nutritional analysis revealed higher total phenolic content (197.8 ± 2.4 mg GAE/100 g) and antioxidant potential (42.13 ± 1.3%) in HARF-treated extruded snacks, indicating improved bioactive compound retention. Although the control demonstrated superior protein content (8.31 ± 0.21%) and fat levels (3.69 ± 0.77%), HARF treatment contributed to improved textural properties, including lower hardness (106.27 ± 1.95 N) compared to the control (148.33 ± 1.65 N). Functional properties, such as water absorption capacity were also enhanced in HARF-treated samples. These findings demonstrate the potential of HARF technology to improve the safety, quality, and functionality of gluten-free millet-based extruded snacks.
