Because a high fat content in foods is associated with health disorders, consumers demand low fatproducts, but without any loss of their texture quality. The instrumental texture and sensory propertiesof biscuits in which 15 and 30 g/100 g of the fat has been replaced by two different carbohydrate-basedfat replacers (inulin and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose) were studied. The instrumental texture measurements showed that inulin and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) biscuits were harder and thesound emissions were higher than for the control biscuits. The trained sensory panel rated the biscuitwith 15 percent fat replacement by inulin as crisper than the control. The consumer study revealed thatfat replacement up to 15 g/100 g with inulin or HPMC provided acceptable biscuits, but higherreplacement decreased the overall acceptability.
