Abstract
Sesame seed oil has known antioxidant properties that may improve both nutritional importance and shelf-life of the product. Three aims of the study were to: a) examine nutritional value and physicochemical properties of white sesame seed oil (WSSO) and hydrogenated vegetable fat (HVF) cookies, b) compare the antioxidant potential of the cookies and c) determine the effects of storage and treatment conditions on palatability of the cookies. Results showed that energy and fat% were significantly higher (P < 0.05) in WSSO than HVF cookies. At 60th day, mean moisture, peroxide value, and acidity were higher (P < 0.05) in HVF cookies. Over time, protein and fiber% decreased significantly (p < 0.05) in both cookies but remained higher (P < 0.05) in WSSO at 60 days. WSSO cookies had longer shelf life, greater palatability, improved physical properties and greater antioxidant potential.
