Effect of black carrot (Daucus carota L.) pomace in cake and cookie formulations as a functional ingredient on sensory analysis

Abstract

In this study, it was aimed to determine the properties of the black carrot pomace and its use in pastries. For this purpose, black carrot pomace was dried at 150ºC by using drum drier. Dietary fiber (64.93 %), total sugar (1.16 %), fat (1.60 %), protein (8.82 %), anthocyanins (0.21 mg/g) and total phenolic substances (2.30 mg/g) of the black carrot pomace were determined. The functional properties of the carrot pomace such as water retention capacity (1.53 g/g), swelling (1.59 mL/g), alcohol insoluble residue (737.5 g/kg) and emulsion capacity (30.64 mL/g) were calculated. Dried pomace was used at three different levels in modified cookie and cake formulations. Ranking test was applied for the sensory evaluation of each derived formulations. The results of the sensory analysis showed that the use of black carrot pomace in cookie formulations was more suitable and more preferred.
