Abstract

The present study aimed to optimize the replacement levels of sugar and different types of flour to develop a traditional biscuit. The study was carried out using mixture response surface methodology (RSM) as the optimization technique. The biscuits optimum formula was designed using the following mixing ratio: lentil flour: millet flour (22.53 g: 11.47 g), whole wheat flour: wheat flour (42.04 g: 23.96 g) and sugar (35.61%), based on the biscuits sensory evaluations. Physical properties of composite flour biscuits (COMFB) showed a higher thickness but lower in term of spread ratio, diameter and weight compared to the mixture of whole wheat and wheat flours biscuit (MIXFB) and wheat flour biscuits (WFB). COMFB was harder and color difference (∆E) was higher and significantly darker surface than MIXFB and WFB. Sensory evaluation of COMFB showed higher consumers acceptance compare to MIXFB which indicates that the acceptance of the whole wheat flour based biscuits can be improved by using composite flour such as this formula. Optimization suggested composite flour biscuits (COMFB) as the best formula. This sample received good scores for the sensory attributes.
