The apple DF was
observed to absorb the liquid ingredient (i.e., honey) and swell
up very quickly, while the other ingredients still stayed relatively
dry, resulting in a longer mixing time for the formulation containing
apple DF. Control bars and those made with inulin had the
same consistency when mixed with honey, and appeared to be
wetter and possessed a thinner bar structure during moulding,
compared with the bars containing apple DF.
