Diet biscuits rich in nutrients

Abstract

The aim of the research was to produce biscuits with a high fiber content that would be well-received by consumers.

Manufacturing diet biscuits at a low price. The research questions were: Is it possible to produce a high-fiber biscuit that is well-received by society? Is it possible to produce diet biscuits at a low price with ingredients that are affordable to everyone? The research followed a descriptive, experimental approach by manufacturing biscuits that contain a high percentage of fiber at a low price, and an analytical approach by conducting an electronic questionnaire. The research concluded that diet biscuits fortified with dietary fiber were manufactured and obtained high rates in sensory evaluation in terms of general acceptance, taste, crunchiness, flavor, and color, where the rates were: 100%, 98%, 98%, 93%, and 88%, respectively. An electronic questionnaire was also conducted and it became clear that people who believe that technology increases the chances of obesity were 87.4% and those who do not believe that were 12.6%. It became clear that people who consider obesity a health concern were 97.1% and those who do not believe that were 2.9%. It became clear that people who agree that low physical activity leads to obesity were 98.3% and those who do not agree were 1.7%. It became clear that people who believe that eating fiber has a positive impact on body weight and getting rid of obesity were 93.1% and those who do not believe that were 6.9%. It became clear that 96% of people agree that obesity causes sleep disturbances and psychological disorders, while 4% disagree. It was found that 90.8% of people agree that it is possible to make diet biscuits rich in dietary fiber, while 9.2% disagreed. The study recommends increasing the amount of dietary fiber consumed in a healthy diet throughout the day and including chia seeds, flax, sesame seeds, oats, and almond flour in your diet due to their high nutritional value and healthy fiber that is beneficial for weight loss. It also recommends replacing regular sugar with honey to reduce calories, due to its high nutritional value and its role in weight loss.
