4. Conclusions
According to the analysis of chemical composition, the formulations
preparedwith inulin and bovine plasma protein as fat replacers had nutritional
advantages over full fat samples for the following reasons: they
have i) a reduced fat content (20–30%), ii) an increase in protein content
(8%), and iii) the incorporation of a dietary fiber as inulin. The sensorial
analysis of samples showed that color, taste and flavor were similar to
the control (full fat samples). With respect to the attribute of consistency,
the model identified by a surface plot, the combination of
inulin and protein as fat replacers in P2.5I2 samples gave the highest
acceptability to the consistence attribute. The texture study confirmed
