An Investigation Into the Sensory Properties of Cookies Made With Luffa Seed Powder

Journal of Sensory Studies, Volume 40, Issue 6, December 2025.
ABSTRACT The seeds are currently a waste product from the luffa sponge (exfoliator) production. Luffa seeds could be a new and innovative sustainable ingredient as they offer nutritional benefits. Before they can be considered for use in different food products, their sensory properties and consumer acceptability need to be determined.
