*3.2. Consumer Acceptance*

The rating of consumer acceptance was assessed by using the 9-point hedonic line scale (ranging from 1 "dislike very much" to 9 "like very much") [85]. In this study, sixty-five untrained panelists, aged between twenty-six and forty-five, were invited to participate. The study involved 29 men and 36 women, students and employees of the Pozna ´n University of Life Sciences (Pozna´n, Poland), who expressed a voluntary willingness to participate. Consumers were asked to evaluate the appearance, flavor, taste, texture, and overall rating of analyzed biscuits.
