Physical, chemical, and sensory properties of biscuits prepared from flour blends of unripe cooking banana, pigeon pea, and sweet potato

Abstract: Biscuits were produced from 14 flour blends of cooking banana (UBF), pigeon pea (PPF), and sweet potato (SPF). The physical properties, nutrient composition, and sensory characteristics of the biscuits were evaluated using standard methods. Data obtained were subjected to analysis of variance, and mean values were separated using Duncan's multiple range test. The hardness of the biscuit samples decreased as PPF increased, while the fracturability decreased with increase in UBF. Biscuits were significantly (p <… Show more

“…Distance at which the biscuit breaks is noted as fracturability. Biscuit that breaks at shorter distance has higher fracturability [17,51]. According to the present study, no significant differences (P ≥ 0.05) in hardness and fracturability ( Table 3).…”

“…Biscuit is prominent ready-to-eat baked snack form of bakery products which has unique taste, readily available, long shelf-life and good eating quality, enhanced its consumption widely by different group of consumers [16,17]. Given the low moisture content associated with the thinness, biscuits are characteristically hard and crunchy, properties that are much appreciated upon eating.…”

“…Hardness is defined as the force required to break the biscuit and fracturability is the ability of the sample to revert back to its original form upon relaxing the force applied. Generally, the textures of the products rely upon the type and quality of the flour used, amount of ingredients utilised and protein content present in the raw materials [34]. Figure 6 illustrated the force versus time plots for the control and fortified biscuits from which the hardness (force) and fracturability (distance) could be calculated.…”

“…The moisture content of the biscuit samples increased as the inclusion of sweet potato or potato or taro flours. This may be attributed to the high water-binding capacity of tubers flours, which retuned higher moisture content in the ultimate product (Anuonye et al, 2012;Adeola and Ohizua, 2018). Moreover, it is however interesting to note that moisture in all the products fell below 10% moisture.…”
