ABSTRACT

For the first time, the characteristics, formulas, challenges, technical concerns, and health benefits of the nutritious appetizers were comprehensively narrated. Research findings from available literature were compiled, and the possible approaches that could be employed to improve nutritious bar stability and amend their producibility were presented. The post-processing changes in the nutritious bars, such as their texture hardening and browning, were extensively studied as compared to their processing. The proteinaceous and fibrous appetizers showed some health benefits with acceptable sensory properties. Fortifying nutritious appetizers further with phytochemicals and modifying the structure of the appetizers were recently suggested. Although the current evidence is promising, further studies are still needed to enhance the sensory paldratability of the nutritious bars/balls.
