Texture
The mean score for texture varied from 5.71
to 7.76. The maximum and the minimum value
corresponded to the samples of biscuit prepared by
replacing refined wheat flour with pumpkin powder at
the level of 2.5 and 10.0%, respectively. The sensory
score for texture decreased gradually with increase in
replacement level. Replacement level beyond 2.5%
reduced the liking of the product gradually from
texture point of view. As the level of replacement
was increased from 2.5 to 10.0%, the texture of the
biscuit became inferior due to the gradual increase in
hardness. It is also evident from the data mentioned
in Figure 1 that hardness of biscuit increased with
increase in replacement level.
