Consumer acceptance and sensorial analysis of bread with grape seed flour

Abstract

Grape seed flour from grape marc, a waste product obtained during winemaking, was analyzed for use in bread production due to its potential health benefits. This study evaluated the consumer acceptance and physical properties of bread made with varying quantities of grape seed flour. Dough and breads were prepared using different levels of replacement of wheat flour with grape seed flour (0 to 9 %). The method used for the research was that of the scoring scale, and the marks given by the 15 properly trained panelists indicated that a percentage of 5% grape seed flour by the indirect method leads to statistic characteristics close to those of black bread regarding Standard SR 878/1996.
