The consumption of fiberis extrmely important, as its ingestion helps prevent diseases and regulate bowel function, so there is great interest ftom the food industry in the development of new products based on dietary fiber. The objetive of the present work was to elaborate and evaluate the acceptance of cookies made from apple flour. The study was carried out at the Biosaúde laboratory of the Don Bosco Catholic University, in Campo Grande – MS. The flour was prepared from apples from the same batch, dehydrated and crushed. In the cookies formulation, 45% of apple flour was used,which made up its base. The evaluation of the components and their quantity were carried out through chemical analysis, obtaining means and standard deviation. The sensory evaluation had 30 untrained judges, in which two tests were used during the research: the hedonic scale and the attitude or purchase intention scale. The results obtained presented an innovative cookies with apple flour, this one had a great response of acceptability index (85,08%), standing out in the purchase intentions. Through the data obtained, it is concluded that the product obtained can be commercially included under the sensory point of view, in addition to presenting an excellent nutritional profile, aiming at the treatment and prevention of diseases such as diabetes, dyslipidemia and intestinal disorders.

Dulce de leche is a product very appreciated by its consumers, for being a food rich in nutrients and with high energy value. On the other hand, many people have restrictions to consume it, due to its high glycemic index.  Aiming to develop viable formulations of diet dulce de leche, using xylitol as a sucrose replacement with goat milk bovine milk. Four pasty dulce in leche formulations were developed: bovine milk with sucrose (F1), bovine milk with xylitol (F2), goat milk with sucrose (F3) and goat milk with xylitol (F4). Bromatological analysis was performed to determine the macronutrients and the Acceptance Test was used for the sensory analysis with application of the 9-point hedonic scale. In the bromatological analysis, the samples F1 and F3 had the highest carbohydrate contents, with 79.40% and 78.87% respectively, while the samples F2 and F4 had a carbohydrate content of 12.24% and 12.25%, respectively. This difference had a direct impact on the determination of the Total Caloric Value (TCV) of the samples, since F1 and F3 formulations were the most caloric. As for the sensory analysis, all formulations were considered well accepted, as they presented an acceptability index above 70%. The use of xylitol as a substitute proved to be viable. The dulce de leche with this sweetener in its composition were less caloric and the formulations were well accepted by the tasters. Therefore, it is possible to enable the use of this sweetener in the food industry.
