Formulation of biscuits
Preliminary studies (data not shown) have
demonstrated the non-viability of CLF used for
producing biscuits with little acceptable sensory
characteristics. Biscuits were made with 3 different
concentrations of CSF (Table I). The formulation
of biscuits was obtained by fitting the original
formulation described by Perez (2002).
The percentage of vegetable cream was increased
relative to CSF, by facilitating the function of
connecting mass. All dry ingredients were mixed
together first, then the vegetable cream and soy
lecithin, to form mass, was added water gradually to
the point of connecting to open the mass. The biscuits
were ordered directly in rectangular pans, and baked
in an oven preheated to 150ºC for 15 to 20 min, or
until fully baked.
