Experimental study demonstrates the viability of fortifying cookies and pasta with citrus peel powders, indicating their potential as fiber-rich functional food ingredients.
Orange peels (OP), mandarin peels (MP) and lemon peels (LP) were analyzed and utilized in preparing functional cookies and pasta. The gross chemical composition revealed the following ranges: Moisture: 70.05-77.82%,crude protein: 4.44-9.91%, crude fat:8.64-12.79%, ash: 10.37-15.13% and carbohydrates: 62.17-76.51%. Moreover,total sugars ranged from 30.70 to 33.35%, crude fibers: 5.48-8.73%, neutral detergent fibers ”NDF”: 12.43-21.83%,acid detergent fibers “ADF” 10.94-13.52%. Meanwhile, considerable variations were traced in contents of mineralelements. Organoleptic evaluation revealed statistical acceptance of cookies fortified with 5, 10 and 15% of (OP)with 10% superior to the control. The cookies supplementation with OP and MP resulted in increasing the cookiesthickness as compared to the control. On the other hand, pasta fortified with 5% (OP) was the most acceptable as wellas a considerable increase in the weight percentage and the residue retained in the cooking water as compared to thecontrol. The data revealed the potentiality of utilization of citrus peels under study (OP, MP and LP) in manufacturefunctional cookies. For pasta, OP and MP were superior to LP
