The project had the collaboration of the National Institute of Agrarian and Veterinary Research (INIAV) &#8211; project coordinator in Portugal -, the Association for the Protection of Diabetics in Portugal (APDP), as well as the companies Vieira de Castro and Qualiriso.\r\n\r\n\u201c<em>Before reaching the market, in addition to the concern with nutritional issues, we tried to test the product in blind tastings with consumers, to ensure sensory quality, which is impacted by the reduction of some ingredients. For instance, a lower use of fat may compromise the crunchiness and texture, as reducing sugar, in this case molasses, will influence the flavour. Since no sweetener use was intended, several formulations were tested until the final biscuits\u2019 recipe was reached,<\/em>\u201d explains Mayumi Thais Delgado, responsible for Continente&#8217;s nutrition team.\r\n\r\nThe new \u2018Continente Equil\u00edbrio\u2019 Digestive Biscuits have, in their composition, a large amount of whole grains and added vegetable protein, which help to prolong the feeling of satiety and to a more gradual entry of sugar into the blood stream (glycaemia).","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Continente launched the new \u2018Continente Equil\u00edbrio\u2019 Digestive Biscuits, with less than half of the sugars (56%) and 81% less saturated [&hellip;]","protected":false},"author":19,"featured_media":10051,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[168,175,162,196],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10056","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-healthy-food","category-news","category-private-label","category-products"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
