The meta-analysis of plant sterol supplement studies suggests an 8% lowering of low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol for 2 to 2.5 g/day of plant sterols. Cereal foods have been rarely tested, and one study showed a lower LDL lowering of 5.4% with 1.6 g of plant sterol in breakfast cereal. We aimed to test a breakfast wheat biscuit with 2 g of plant sterols in a single serve of two wholegra...

A prototype system for automated assessment of biscuit bake has been developed. The system employs monochrome imaging and histogramming techniques to classify product samples as underbaked, correctly baked or overbaked. Two products have been investigated. Product \A" exhibits uneven browing due to the formation of blisters. An intensity histogram suitably characterises the overall browning and...
