Abstract The present investigation aimed to develop a nutritionally enriched composite flour biscuit and evaluate its quality in comparison with coconut cookies using proximate composition, mineral analysis, and sensory evaluation. The developed composite biscuit exhibited appreciable nutritional value with moisture (9.59 ± 0.09 g), protein (9.46 ± 0.13 g), fat (1.33 ± 0.07 g), minerals (8.33 ± 0.12 g), crude fiber (3.61 ± 0.07 g), carbohydrates (73.63 ± 0.93 g), and energy (344.22 ± 1.12 kcal) per 100 g. Mineral and vitamin analysis revealed enhanced levels of calcium (149.79 ± 0.49 mg), phosphorus (296 ± 0.69 mg), iron (14.74 ± 0.40 mg), vitamin E (29.27 ± 0.42 mg), and vitamin B3 (2.74 ± 0.39 mg) per 100 g, indicating improved micronutrient density of the composite biscuit.
Sensory evaluation conducted using a 9-point hedonic scale and represented through a spider graph demonstrated that the composite flour biscuit received higher scores for appearance, colour, flavour, texture, taste, and overall acceptability when compared to coconut cookies. The graphical representation clearly illustrated the superior sensory profile and consumer preference for the composite biscuit.
The results confirm that the incorporation of composite flour significantly enhanced the nutritional quality without compromising sensory attributes. Therefore, the developed composite flour biscuit can be recommended as a functional bakery product suitable for promoting improved dietary intake and meeting the needs of health-conscious consumers.
