Introduction
The increasing demand by the modern consumer for health
food that are quick sources of good nutrition has prompted
the food industry to develop food like snacks that combine
convenience and nutrition. Many attempts are being made to
improve snacks’ nutritive value and functionality by modifying
their nutritive composition. Such effects are very often
achieved by increasing the nutrient density in basic recipes
[1–4]. Additionally, a very important aspect of food’s function-ality is its antioxidative capacity since there is much scientific
evidence indicating the important role of food antioxidants
in the prevention of different types of cancer and coronary
heart diseases [5]. Among snack foods, crackers remain a versatile
food, which is highly consumed by a wide range of populations,
due to their varied taste, long shelf life and relatively
low cost. It serves as a proper vehicle to meet consumer
demand for nutritious, convenient, and tasty snacks.
