Desenvolvimento de formula？？es de biscoitos tipo cookie contendo café

the aim of the present study is to develop cookie formulations containing coffee. three formulations were developed, each with a distinct way of adding coffee: espresso beverage, instant coffee and roasted coffee powder. the average proximate composition (dry basis) of the formulations was 7% moisture, 70% carbohydrates, 8% protein, 21% fat and 1% minerals, resulting in an average caloric value of 499 kcal per 100 g product. both the proximate composition and average caloric value were similar to values reported for existing commercial brands of cookies. it was observed that by adding coffee affected the product sensory characteristics, evaluated by flavor and texture profile descriptive analysis. formulation 1 (espresso beverage) presented lower values for the following attributes: cracks, crumbling, presence of dark spots, and coffee and burnt flavors. formulation 2 (instant coffee powder) presented higher values for the brown color intensity, shine, coffee and burnt flavors, residual brown sugar flavor and crunchiness and lower values for concavity. formulation 3 (roasted coffee powder) presented higher values for the presence of dark spots. all three formulations presented satisfactory grades in terms of children accepting them.
