The aim of this work was to fortified biscuits with psyllium flour obtained from Plantago psyllium seeds and checked how this additive, reach in fibre and mucilage, had the impact on the physical, mechanical and sensory parameters of biscuits. The following addition psyllium flour was applied: 5, 10, 15 and 20% in relation to wheat flour. The moisture, texture, volume, spreadability factor, volume as well as texture, color and sensory assessment of biscuits were determined. The applied fortification contributed to increase the spreadability of biscuits and the decrease in their volume and hardness. According to consumers, the best sensory attributes received biscuits with 5% addition of psyllium flour, and higher levels of the additive had a negative impact on their sensory assessment.
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.
