COMPOSITION OF KAMIAS (Averrhoa Bilimbi) INSTANT SEASONING MIX – SPICY MUSSEL FLAVORED

Abstract

This utility model presents innovative kamias (Averrhoa bilimbi) instant seasoning mix–spicy mussel-flavored. The formulation consists of 100 g powdered kamias (Averrhoa bilimbi), 0.5 cups powdered mussels, 0.5 cups powdered sweet potato, 1 teaspoon hot pepper, 1 teaspoon black pepper, 1 tablespoon salt, and 1 / 8 teaspoon monosodium glutamate. The technical problem addressed is the kamias (Averrhoa bilimbi)’s underutilization in functional food products despite their rich phytochemical profile, including antioxidants and antibacterial properties. By combining kamias (Averrhoa bilimbi) with protein-rich mussels, fiber-packed sweet potatoes, and health-boosting hot peppers, the seasoning mix offers both enhanced flavor and nutritional benefits. The product is developed through drying, pulverizing, and blending the ingredients into fine powder, ensuring shelf-stable, nutrient-dense seasoning. Designed for healthconscious consumers, it provides natural, flavorful alternative to synthetic seasonings while enriching local dishes with vitamins, minerals, and bioactive compounds. The mix enhances food palatability and supports overall well-being, making it valuable addition to the food industry.
