Five treatments of microwave powers and heating times were compared. Significant differences were observed for degree of scorching, surface roughness, and crispness with attributes more affected by time than power. Overall appearance, flavor, texture, and product acceptability (n = 51) of strawberry flavored breakfast products were significantly higher for Toaster Strudels than Waf-Fills, Eggos, and Pop-Tarts. Few consumers perceived waffles as snacks. A majority indicated preference for lowfat products, but only a third changed their overall product preference on that basis.en-USThis Item is protected by copyright and/or related rights.
