Apple DF or inulin was added to replace the same amount of
quick-cook rolled oats in the bar base. APE was added to replace
the same amount of apple purée, sugar, glucose syrup, honey and
vegetable shortening mixture. Therefore, the control bars with no
added fibre containing the greatest amount of quick-cook oats possessed
the hardest texture. Snack bars with added apple DF possessed
comparable hardness to control bars.
