This study was conducted to determine the effects on the quality of cashew nut cookies substituted with Nile tilapia bone powder (NTBP), at various levels. Cookies had aw, hardness and their spread ratio varied significantly. Color parameters showed significant changes after enhancement with NTBP. The L*, b*, and whiteness values decreased but the a* value increased. Results showed that the addition of NTBP significantly increased the moisture, protein, fiber and ash content of the samples, while the carbohydrate content decreased. Additionally, a drastic increase in calcium content was observed in the substituted cashew nut cookies, when compared with wheat cookie samples used as a control. The cashew nut cookies substituting NTBP up to 20% had the highest scores of sensory properties.These results suggested that the NTBP substitution level at 20% was the suitable level which having acceptable physicochemical and organoleptic qualities while further increasing high calcium richness.
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.
