Reformulation of Pastry Products to Improve Effects on Health
Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
Overall, the topic of such review is of relevance for the scientific community. However, the manuscript in its current form appears rather preliminary and not really carefully crafted, resembling more a "draft" than a final version.
Much more attention, in terms of text organization, accuracy of definitions, and quality/consistency of figures should be paid during the revision process, in order to provide a more polished manuscript.
The following papers should be cited:
Sodium Levels of Processed Meat in Australia: Supermarket Survey Data from 2010 to 2017.
Nutrients. 2018 Nov 5;10(11). pii: E1686. doi: 10.3390/nu10111686.
We are What We Eat: Impact of Food from Short Supply Chain on Metabolic Syndrome.

Sugar Content and Nutritional Quality of Child Orientated Ready to Eat Cereals and Yoghurts in the UK and Latin America; Does Food Policy Matter?

Some references should be updated.

Reviewer 2 Report
This manuscript reports many interesting tips to improve the nutritional quality of pastry.
The paper may be of interest and fits with the purpose of the Journal. However, some revisions are needed.
General comment
The reduction of saturated and trans fatty acids, salt and sugar are pivotal modifications to obtain healthier pastry products. However, adding fibre could be another relevant issue to address.
Please add a paragraph about fibre.
Specific comments
The strategies reported by the authors (low saturated and trans fatty acids, salt and sugar) are common features of healthy dietary pattern. In addition, the reduction of this dietary components are healthier per se.
Therefore I think the authors should not mention Mediterranean diet in the introduction (lines 47 and over).
Moreover, pastry is not a key feature of the Mediterranean diet.
