In the present study, dried Moringa oleifera leaves powder (DMLP) were incorporated at different levels (5, 10 and 15 %) in cookies and their sensory and nutritional properties were evaluated. The results revealed that the contents of protein, dietary fiber, minerals in cookies increased with incorporation of increasing levels of DMLP. Sensory evaluation showed that cookies with acceptable quality and typical Moringa leaf flavor could be obtained by incorporating DMLP up to 10 %. Thus, the nutritional quality of cookies could be enhanced by incorporating DMLP in a dose dependent manner.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
