The research study was conducted to evaluate the quality characteristics of
soy- mushroom- enriched biscuits which could be used as a protein supplemented
cereal snack food. In this study, wheat fl our was replaced with soy fl our at
different levels that is 20% (T3), 15% (T2), and 10% (T1) and without soy
fl our was kept as control (T o ). Mushroom was added in both biscuits. Biscuits
were analyzed for chemical and sensory parameters. Protein content of soy
fl our- supplemented biscuits increased from 11.07% to 17.86% as compared to
control along with a signifi cant increased in fat (17.36–20.89%), fi ber (0.48–
0.92%), iron (1.56–1.99 mg/100 g), and energy value (463–485 Kcal/g). Ash
content also increased but not signifi cantly. Results from chemical analyses and
organoleptic evaluation indicate that good quality biscuits can be prepared by
substituting wheat fl our with 15% soy fl our and addition of mushroom powders
may affect the backing quality. Protein Energy Malnutrition ( PEM ) of the
Bangladeshi population can be reduced through the development of biscuits
in this way.
