“…Browning of Amaretti cookies is attributable to non-enzymatic browning reactions, influenced by many variables such as sugar type, a w values, temperature, pH and overall processing conditions. Whey powder, due to its high lactose and protein contents, surely influenced the higher browning rate (Dattatreya, Etzel, & Rankin, 2007). Gallagher, Gormley, and Arendt (2003) described the influence of whey powders in gluten-free bread, finding lower L* values in batches formulated with whey powders than in bread made without whey.…”
