In the present study, sensory scores of biscuit enriched
with 10% (T1), 15% (T2), and 20% (T3) soy fl our keeping
the mushroom content fi xed (5%), showed that with
regard to fl avor, taste, body texture, color and appearance,
and overall acceptability, the sensory characteristics of T1
(10%) were found to be the best and T2 (15%) was
closer T1 (10%). Other treatments T3 (20%) and control
(To) were also found acceptable (Table 3 ).
The taste is the primary factor which determines the
acceptability of any product, which has the highest impact
as far as market success of product, is concerned. The
score for taste had been decreased from 8.5 to 7.2 with
the increase in the level of substitution of soy fl our. Biscuit
containing 20% soy fl our (T3) was rated poorest in taste
(7.2). The control (To) has the highest mean score (8.5).
The mean scores for color of the biscuits change from
7.6 to 8.6. The highest score (8.6) was obtained for treatment
T1. In treatment T2, the mean score for color was
8.2. On the other hand, for control (To) it was 7.9. As
increase in soy fl our, mean score for color was also
decreasing. A similar trend was also reported by Banureka
and Mahendran
