Abstract

Talbina is a prophetic barley-based product commonly used to treat pain and sorrow among Arabs. Barley crops consist of plentiful source of carbohydrate, soluble dietary fiber (β-glucan) with healing properties and high potential as functional food. Different barley varieties contain different nutrients density. Therefore, Instant Talbina Drink (ITD); an innovated prophetic dairy product supplemented with different genotypes of barley (commercial pearl (CT); act as control, hulled (HT) and hull-less (PT)) were produced. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of different types of barley on the quality of ITD via scientific analytical approaches including chemical and physicochemical analysis as well as 9-scale hedonic evaluation. The total calories per 100 g of ITD samples were ranged from 363.5 kcal – 358.33 kcal. The result showed that CT had the highest caloric value followed by PT. Meanwhile, PT showed a significantly difference in protein content compared to HT and CT. Apart from that, HT had the highest value of fiber content which was significantly difference from CT and PT. In addition, the shelf life of the samples (in powder form) which has been packed in airtight containers were discovered up to 30 days when kept refrigerated temperature at 8 °C after a visual observation has been conducted. The highest degree of consumers’ preferences toward PT in regard to their good sensory attributes and its nutritional density unhesitatingly revealed that PT is the best formulation of ITD for commercialization purpose.
