This study has demonstrated that Biscuits with soy fl our
substitution, up to 20% were nutritionally superior to that
of the whole wheat fl our biscuits. Although 10% and 15%
soy fl our supplemented biscuit is nutritionally different, organoleptically
they are close to each other. Incorporation of
mushroom in the biscuit will also enhance nutritional quality.
Considering biochemical analyses and organoleptic evaluation,
15% soy fl our- supplemented biscuit is found to be the best.
The fi ndings of the present study may help in developing
commercial processing technology for effective utilization of
soy fl our and mushroom powder especially in the manufacturing
of biscuits. The Protein Energy Malnutrition (PEM)
of the Bangladeshi population can therefore be reduced
through the development of these biscuits
