Due to reported detrimental health effects of diets which are high in trans fatty acids (TFA) particularly on blood lipids, two main convenience products (chocolate and pastry) were investigated. In this regard, to determine fatty acids composition, with special emphasis on trans fat content from extracted neat fat of the products, gas chromatography coupled with mass spectroscopic technique wa...

Puff pastry is a high-fat bakery product with fat playing a key role, both during the production process and in the final pastry. In this study, response surface methodology (RSM) was successfully used to evaluate puff pastry quality for the development of a fat-reduced version. The technological parameters modified included the level of roll-in fat, the number of fat layers (50-200) and the fi...
