Abstract

The aim of this research was to characterize the improvement in nutritional value, antioxidant activity as well as to evaluate textural and
sensory properties of enriched biscuits. In this work black currant and jostaberry powder were used as ingredients for biscuits production since
consumer demands for functional bakery products, like biscuits, are increasing. Obtained results showed that addition of berries to biscuits
resulted in increase of total polyphenol and crude fibre content as well as antioxidant activity. Addition of berry powder resulted in decrease of
rapidly available glucose and rapidly digestible starch. All examined antioxidant and sensory properties were improved when a chocolate coat
was formed on the biscuits. Fracturabillity and hardness were affected by berry powder addition.
