Abstract
This study aims to evaluate and optimize the effect of baking temperature, oven rack speed and partial substitution of fat with papaya puree of varying ripening levels on the physicochemical and sensory properties of cookies. Cookies produced with very ripe papaya puree reduced the baking time, increased the protein, fat, ash, calcium, total phenolic contents and sensory properties desirability. Cookies produced with hard ripe papaya puree increased the vitamin C, fiber, carbohydrate and spread ratio while cookies produced with the unripe papaya puree had the lowest moisture content and highest cookies thickness. The optimum conditions for cookies with desirable moisture, crude protein, vitamin C, calcium and total phenolic contents was established at 154°C oven temperature, 8 rpm oven rack speed and the use of very ripe papaya puree. The use of papaya puree with varying ripening levels could increase the diversity of healthy cookies that can be produced from papaya.
