Sensory evaluation of biscuits containing MD and PD comparing them to control biscuits is shown in Table 7. Results show that the color and appearance of the biscuits improved when fat was replaced with MD and PD at 50% and 60% levels. At 70% fat replacement, not much improvement was observed. Even though, a considerable reduction in the breaking strength of the biscuits was noted in the texture analyzer, subjective analysis showed that there was not much improvement in texture of biscuits containing either MD or PD. A small improvement in the taste and flavor of the biscuits were noted in the sensory evaluation. These results showed that it was not easy to replace the lubricity, flavor or taste imparted by fat in a short dough biscuit formulation by replacing it with either MD or PD. Under the present experimental conditions MD seemed to be a better fat replacer than PD in the soft dough biscuit formulation.
