Soybean bran (SB) was used for partial replacement of fat (30-50%) in a
gluten-free cookie formulation. Dough properties, physical (cookie dimension
and weight loss), textural (hardness and fracturability), colour and sensory
parameters, as well as nutritional profiles were evaluated to characterise
full-fat (FFC) and fat-reduced cookies (FRC). Based on the obtained results,
it was concluded that the fat reduction in cookie formulation at the level
of 30% maintained the sensory properties of the FFC. It was revealed that
the fat replacement using SB at the level of 30% resulted in the fat-reduced
value-added gluten-free cookies in terms of dietary fibre and minerals. A
daily portion of the 30% FRC meets 11.87% and 18.04% of dietary reference
intakes (DRIs) for dietary fibres, 26.50% of DRIs for calcium, 35.71% and
46.88% of DRIs for magnesium and 65.43% and 83.61% of DRIs for manganese,
for male and female adults, respectively.
