As seen in Table 3, all treatments assessed had similar results for
all attributes, except texture. The axial points (ends) of WPC
differed with regard to texture, where the lower concentration of
WPC (T5: 25.9 g WPC/100 g) had better evaluation. However, this
assessment was similar to the control sample (T8) with 40 g WPC/
100 g that, besides the higher WPC content, had a higher margarine
content (33.4 g margarine/100 g), which may have aided in the
favorable evaluation of this attribute. The texture is an essential
attribute for the acceptance of cookies, as consumers anticipate
crunchy and soft products.
