Nutrition, Recycling, Watermelon seed, CookiesAbstract
Watermelon seeds, which are seen to as food waste, are used in many sectors. In this study, cookies were made with
watermelon seed flour (5% and 10%), which was designed as an alternative safe by-product. Sensory analysis of cookies was
conducted in 2019 with 10 panelists. The results were evaluated statistically. It was found that cookies with watermelon seed
additives were welcomed by the panelists (taste and hardness, p <0.1). It is determined that consumers can be used as food
additives even if there is no positive approach to waste materials.
