Brownies containing whey powder (WP) with different levels of substitutions for wheat flour (0, 10, 20, 30, and 40% substitution for WP 0, WP 10, WP 20, WP 30, and WP 40, respectively) were prepared, and their properties were compared. Regarding appearance, the collapse of the sample surface noticeably started from WP 30. The moisture content was higher in samples containing WP than in the control (WP 0), and the weight of the brownie increased with WP content. As the WP amount increased, both the total and specific volumes of the brownies decreased. Regarding texture, a higher amount of WP resulted in a decrease in hardness, whereas adhesiveness increased significantly. The antioxidant activity also increased with increasing WP amount (from 35.28 to 51.47%). Regarding sensory characteristics, 20 or 30% WP in brownies increased mouth-feel properties, taste, and overall preference. Based on the above results, WP could improve the quality of brownies, and a substitution level of 20% could be the most appropriate.

The purpose of this study is to compare preferences of consumers between food items made from modified cassava flour and plain flour using sensory tests. This study is a qualitative research with an experimental approach and four food items, namely streamed brownies, cookies, fried mushrooms, and seasoning flour have been used for the study. Each of these food items are made from modified cassava flour and plain flour. Panelists wore blindfolds and tasted the food items except the seasoning flour. Based on the data analysis, the panelists have different preferences towards the four food items. The result of the paired Wilcoxon test showed that there is not any different preference in terms of taste of steamed brownies made from mocaf or plain flour, while there is a significant difference in terms of color, aroma, texture, and appearance between the steamed brownies made from mocaf and plain flour. Consumers decide to buy products made from mocaf because these products use local flour and are gluten-free. This article describes the customer's preference based on sensory analysis between products made from mocaf and ones made from plain flour. The result can be used as the basis for developing food items made from local flour and alternative food for customers allergic to gluten.

This study investigated the optimal percentage of brownies substituted with rice bran dietary fiber (3%, 6%, 9%, and 12%). The sample and control were compared for quality characteristics, specific gravity, viscosity, pH, moisture content, water activity, specific volume, color, textural characteristic, consumer acceptance, and CATA (check-all-that-apply). The specific gravity of the control sample was not significantly different among the samples. The viscosity was highest at the brownie containing 12% of rice bran dietary fiber. Moisture content and water activity were highest in the 6% sample. pH of control sample batter was highest, but reduced with increasing amounts of rice bran dietary fiber. For colors, lightness of the 6% sample batter was highest at 25.31, and redness and yellowness significantly increased with increasing amounts of rice bran dietary fiber. For textural characteristics, hardness, and chewiness significantly increased with increasing amounts of rice bran dietary fiber. Cohesiveness and resilience were not significantly different between samples. In the sensory evaluation, overall acceptability was highest in the control group and lowest for the 12% sample. In the frequency analysis of the CATA, as rice bran dietary fiber was added, the amount of bran flavor, oliy, and unpleasant increased while frequency of bitterness, sweetness, and chocolate taste decreased. In the principal component analysis, characteristics of unpleasant, oily, soybean flavor, and sweetness were strongly detected in the 12% sample. The control sample showed strong sweetness and bitterness. The results indicate that 3% to 6% rice bran dietary fiber is appropriate for production of brownies.

반려동물(Pets)들은 캔디(Candies), 케이크(Cakes), 쿠키(Cookies), 땅콩이 박힌 초코렛과자(Brownies), 빵재료(예 : 초코렛 칩스, 분말 코코아)와 카카오 원두 덮개(Cacao beans mulches)들을 포함, 광범위하고 다양한 초코렛과 코코아 제품들에 노출되어 질 수가 있다. 놀랄것도 없이, 반려동물들에서의 대부분의 사고발생적인 초코렛에의 노출들은 공휴일들 즉, 특히 발렌타이데이(Valentine's day), 부활절(Easter), 만성제전야제(핼로윈축제, Halloween) 및 성탄절에 발생한다. 카카오콩깍지 덮개(cocoa bean hull mulches)들은 많은 개들에게 매력적이고 그것들을 파헤쳐질때 섭취되어질 수가 있다. 이러한 개들의 무차별성 습관때문에 고양이보다 훨씬 더 영향을 끼치고 있는게 일반적이다. 초코렛속에 독성화합물들은 메칠크산틴(Methylxanthines)과 특히 디오브로민(Theobromine)과 카페인(Caffeine)이다.
