The use of conventional food processing techniques has almost vanished due to increase in demand with respect to time, thus opening new avenues for emerging technologies. Ultrasound (US) is a rapid, multifaceted, promising, and noninvasive green technology. It has attracted the attention of both industrial experts and scientists for its probable use in food processing and preservation.

The research aimed to study the physico-functional, bioactive, microstructure, and thermal characteristics of breakfast cereals using scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffractometry, and differential scanning calorimeter. The increase in feed moisture content (16 %) enhanced the bulk density (5.

We also examined the rheological properties of dough and proximate, colour, textural, and organoleptic properties of amaranth wheat bread. Wheat flour was replaced by amaranth flour (AF) at 0-15% levels (100 : 0, 95 : 5, 90 : 10, and 85 : 15, respectively).
