Effect of Amaranth flour &Indian Gooseberry Fiber on Physiochemical, Rheological and Sensory Characteristics of GlutenFree Functional Biscuits for Celiac Disease Patient
Richa Thakkar, Dr Vinayak Patel
Abstract
Gluten-free biscuits prepared using varying concentrations of Indian gooseberry fiber (0 to 6%),
amaranth flour (52-55gm), and tapioca flour (24-27gm) were examined in terms of nutrition
attributes, antioxidant capacity, sensory characteristics, and storage stability. Compared to
controlled biscuits, the nutritional attributes such as the calcium, phosphorus, and iron
concentrations were shown to be considerably more significant in the experimental biscuits due to
the increase in the concentration of amaranth flour and Indian gooseberry fiber. The sensory
evaluation performed by the panelist showed that the experimental biscuit prepared without using
Indian gooseberry fiber was preferred over other biscuits. The total Antioxidant capacity (Total
phenol, flavonoid, FRAP, DPPH) of biscuits were found to be significantly higher in the experimental
biscuits because of the incorporation of varied concentration of amaranth flour and Indian
gooseberry fiber. Consistent with the state-of-the-art, this research showed that the physical
properties like hardness, weight, diameter, width, thickness and fracture strength of the
experimental biscuits were negatively influenced by the increase in the Indian gooseberry fiber
concentration. Overall, the experimental biscuit containing 55gm Amaranth flour and 27gm Tapioca
flour had greater acceptability compared to other experimental biscuits.
