Enrichment of Whole Wheat Cocoa Biscuits with Encapsulated Grape Skin Extract

Table 1

Comparison of literature works on the enrichment of biscuits with grape phenolic extracts or powder from grape byproducts. TPC: total phenols content; GAE: gallic acid equivalents; dm: dry matter; TEAC’: trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity (/g) based on ABTS, ORAC, or DPPH radical assay; FRAP: ferric reducing activity power; ↑: increase; ↓: decrease; constant; the concentration required to obtain 50% DPPH radical scavenging.

Quantitative descriptive analysis QDA® (11 selected panellists): darker biscuits (with more homogenous colour with EEG and EEM); < sweetness perception; aromas and flavours related to whole flour; > cardboard flavour; > dry mouth sensation and < tenderness.
Affective sensory evaluation (126 untrained panellists): same preference for control cookie and enriched with EEM.
