We are the Critics!
What We Do Want: What We Dont Want:
Crispy, flaky, crust Crust fits pan well Light golden color on top Meringue sits on filling without slipping off Smooth, thick filling Filling fits pie well Easy to cut
Scorched Soggy lower crust Tough or solid crust Filling that is too moist Flavor that is off Deflated meringue Over-baked Over moist filling
Fat replacement in soft dough biscuits: Its implications on dough rheology and biscuit quality
Purpose:
Difference in biscuits when fat is removed or replaced Replaced by:
Maltodextrin Polydextrin Glycerol Mono Stearate Guar Gum
Conclusion:
Replacements can get biscuits close to same texture in dough Replacements do not provide same flakiness, taste, flavor, or mouthfeel
Inulin and oligofructose as fat and sugar substitutes in quick breads (scones): a mixture design approach
Purpose: Replacing your fats and sugars in your quick breads Quick breads can lead to dental problems, obesity, type-2 diabetes, coronary heart disease. Replacing sugar and fat with inulin and oligofructose can cut down on these risks
Inulin and oligofructose may imitate the functional and sensorial properties of fat and sugar Still provide high-quality baked products with fewer calories.
Conclusion: Replacing your sugar and fats with inulin and oligofrutose was found to be effective and healthier
Successful as a replacement when making a low fat version
Volume, crust and crumb texture are the same as the original
