Abstract

The "free oil" content in biscuits is one of the causes of spoilage in biscuits. The keeping quality of biscuits can be improved by keeping down the "free oil" content by incorporating a shortening of higher melting point ( 41°C.) in the bake. The shelf life of biscuits can be further increased by incorporating in the bake a mixture of antioxidants consisting of butylated hydroxy anisole, propyl gallate, lecithin and citric acid. The " free oil " content of a product depends, apart from other factors, on the melting point of the fat used. In the present investigation, the effect of the melting point ( consistency ) on the keeping quality of biscuits and the " carry through " properties of butylated hydroxy anisole (BHA) alone and in combination with propyl gallate and citric acid have been studied.
