The objective of the research was to evaluate the textural parameters of biscuits from the municipality of Cereté (Cordoba, Colombia). The proximal composition of the samples was analyzed, unidirectional compression and three-point breaking tests were applied, using a texture analyzer, and a sensory evaluation was performed. A completely randomized experimental design and variance analysis were used to determine the influence of biscuit thickness on proximal, texture and sensual parameters. The thicker samples had lower moisture content; the thickness did not influence in protein, ash, fat, fiber, carbohydrates and calories content. The thicker biscuits had higher values of firmness, consistency, maximum strength and stiffness. There was a direct and highly significant correlation between firmness, consistency and fracturability. The thickness influenced the variation of texture parameters; these variations were explained by changes after heat treatment such as starch gelatinisation, protein denaturation and reduction of moisture content. The results coincided with those reported by other authors in cookies made from vegetable flours. The biscuits showed good sensory acceptance, the thicker ones had the best approval in hardness.
