Biscuits were prepared by replacing wheat flour with pumpkin powder at different levels viz. 0,
2.5, 5.0 7.5 and 10% (w/w) in the standard formulation. The influence of replacement of wheat
flour in biscuit with pumpkin powder in the formulation of biscuit resulted in a significant
change in the textural and sensory qualities of biscuits. As the replacement level of wheat
flour with pumpkin powder increased from 0 to 10% (w/w), the hardness and fracturability
was increased. Biscuit prepared by replacing wheat flour with pumpkin powder at the level of
2.5% (w/w) was found to be more acceptable from sensory point of view and thereafter sensory
score was reduced. Biscuits with more pumpkin powder had a more yellow color than those
with less pumpkin powder. Adding more pumpkin powder increased the level of carotene in
