The search for
healthier and tasty food as for instance bakery products is a necessity
in our population. Maillard reaction is the main chemical event
occurring during coffee roasting and baking. The reaction affects
nutritional quality, safety and sensory value. Maillard reaction
products present health promoting (melanoidins) and potential
harmful effects (acrylamide, furans and advanced glycation end
products) (Tamanna & Mahmood, 2015). The present work aims
to evaluate the use of SCG as food ingredient in innovative bakery
products with high nutritional and sensorial quality and potential
to reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as obesity and diabetes.
