COVER STORY<br />
significant effect on the firmness as did<br />
the source of the fibers.<br />
After technical tests, the semi-moist<br />
snacks were given to a dog home panel<br />
(n=10). Taste preference was organized<br />
in the form of first-choice testing for<br />
two days and then statistically grouped<br />
and analyzed (Figure 6). All Leiber YeaFi®<br />
snacks were tastier then the controls, and<br />
dogs were keen on consuming them. The<br />
highest preference was shown towards<br />
Leiber YeaFi® BTR. Also the vegan ovenbaked<br />
biscuits were tested with the<br />
dogs. All biscuits were accepted well.<br />
Here Leiber YeaFi® AB-F had the highest<br />
preference.<br />
Conclusion<br />
Leiber YeaFi® products are an interesting<br />
concept for application in semi-moist<br />
and vegan oven-baked snacks. They have<br />
a positive impact on production as they<br />
effiiciently reduce stickiness, and improve<br />
texture, appearance, pH, coloring, shiness<br />
and taste of the semimoist snacks. From<br />
an economic point of view the production<br />
capacity was significantly higher<br />
compared to the controls. The inclusion<br />
of Leiber YeaFi® products in vegan ovenbaked<br />
snacks also resulted in a significant<br />
change of the color and reduction of the<br />
pH. The baking process reduced moisture<br />
more compared to control. The reduction<br />
of pH and water activity in both snacks<br />
indicating that Leiber YeaFi® products give<br />
a sort of natural preservation effect and<br />
the baking time can be reduced therefore<br />
the energy consumption can be lower.<br />
