dc.description.abstractCereals grains, such as wheat, rice and corn starch are one of the main sources of nutrients and energy contributors to the human diet. Furthermore, wheat baked products are historically the basis of the diet in Europe [1]. The “económicos” are traditional cakes from Portugal, made with flour, sugar, margarine, olive oils, eggs and brandy and quite appreciated by consumers, because of the good taste [2]. Different sources of flour can be used in pastry products, however, the gluten present in wheat flour, along with starch maintain the union between the ingredients, provide the structure of the baked product and also the elasticity and extensiveness of the mass. Therefore, with the use of other sources of flour, the presence of gluten becomes minimal and the cake tends to become brittle and compact [3,4], usually with an inferior quality compared to foods which contain it, namely at the level of low nutritional value, weak coloration, higher tendency to crumble and, mainly, low volume [3]. Thus, the main objectives of this work were to analyse the texture and color of “económicos” incorporated with chestnut flower, thus strengthening the económicos nutritional value and not fully reducing gluten. Color was analysed using a portable colorimeter, with analysis of the L*, a* and b* coordinates on the top, bottom and inside sections of the “económicos”. Texture was analysed using a texturometer and a texture profile analysis, rendering the dimensions of hardness, adhesiveness, resilience, cohesiveness, springiness, gomosity, chewiness and firmness. Both analysis were carried out over the course of 25 days and the samples were compared with control económicos with only wheat flour. Overall, significant interaction was sought for all analysis of color, except for red-green on the top of the “económico” and lightness of the inside, being the chestnut samples significantly darker than the control ones. Storage time showed, as expected, a higher influence on the texture profile, especially in terms of hardness, cohesiveness, springiness and chewiness, with statistical differences found from the first to the 11th day. The chestnut flower only influenced the springiness, making thus reducing this dimension. Chestnut flour can be useful to fortify these cheap snacks, although analysis on the chemical, nutritional and microbial analyses are being processedpt_PT
