The results indicate that the carbohydrate in
optimized sample of biscuit was higher over the
control sample (64.81% to 64.47%). Moisture content
of the biscuit decreased after replacing refined wheat
flour with pumpkin powder over the control sample
from 2.47+0.03 to 2.31+0.07%. Water absorption
capacity of pumpkin powder was less as compared
to refined wheat flour, which might be responsible
for texture particularly hardness, hence hardness
and fracturability of optimized sample has been
increased.
