Cookie fortification is an alternative option to counter problems like micronutrients deficiency. However, fortification still has undesirable side effects such as changes in the physical properties of the cookie. This experiment aimed to examine whether chilling and freezing treatments could improve the physical properties (texture and color), sensory acceptance, and proximate content of t…
Baking processes could highly influence the quality of cookies fortification, not only the characteristics and the proximate composition, but the content of the micronutrient as well. Hence, in this study, different baking temperature and time was used to assess the micronutrient stability, physicochemical properties, proximate composition and sensory acceptance on fortified cookies. The co…
Deficiency of micronutrients has become a crucial problem in the world, mainly in children and pregnant women, leading to the increasing risk of infectious diseases, maternal and children mortality as well as intelligence decrease. Therefore, food fortification is developed as one of the intervention programs to prevent and reduce nutrient inadequacy, which could be applied to various food …
Micronutrient deficiency is a major concern as it affects 50% of pregnant women in the world. Introduction to food fortification as the nutritional intervention program may aid in the prevention of micronutrient deficiencies, yet to accomplish the program's goals, the amount of nutrients fortified in the product must be sufficient and fulfilling. However, exposure to a variety of environment…
