This work assessed the effect of the inclusion of honey as partial sweetener in cookies baked with batter developed from cassava wheat composite flour. A recipe was adapted from previous study and the sugar in the established formulation was there after substituted in the proportions of Honey (H): Sugar (S) 10H:90S, 20H:80S, 30H:70S, 40H:60S and 50H:50S to obtain different set of recipe respectively. Baked products were subjected to some physical measurements and sensory evaluation. Result obtained indicated significant difference (P<0.05) in flavour and overall acceptability while no significant difference was observed in the other sensory parameters assessed. There were significant difference (P<0.05) in all the physical properties assessed. The study concludes that partial substitution with honey at 20% level is optimal for an acceptable cookie from cassavawheat composite flour in terms of sensory preference; and that honey substitution improves spread ratio of cookies but increased moisture content of cassava-wheat composite cookies.
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.
