Determination of thechemicalstructure of dietbiscuitswith modern enstrumentaltechniques

Abstract

There are too many deficiencies in the studies in terms of diet biscuit in the literature. This study aims to fill this gap in the literature. The % moisture content, structural content verification, thermal stability, degradation properties and % ash content of diet biscuit samples, structural characterizations, surface micromorphology and detailed structural analysis were determined with fast, precise, new instrumental techniques. Thermal degradation of the lemon-fiber diet biscuit sample started at 250 °C in four stages and completed at 585 °C. There is three-stage thermal degradation in wholemeal diet biscuit samples, starting at 229 °C and completed at 580 °C. There are 46.06% C, 1.60% N, 0.12% S and 6.68% H in lemon-fiber diet biscuits, and 45.51% C, 2.39% N, 0.15% S and 7.05% H in whole-wheat diet biscuits. Ca, K, Mg, Na, Zn element contents in diet biscuit samples were determined by AAS technique. In the diet biscuit samples, K was determined as the element with the highest amount and the element with the least amount was Zn. As a result, the work is comprehensive and original. It is believed that the study will fill an important gap in the literature and will be a useful resource for researchers.
