Abstract

Solar cooking is an innovative alternative for cooking food in times of energy transition, as it offers a lower environmental and economic impact compared to traditional cooking methods. While solar cooking has been widely studied from an energy efficiency perspective, little is known about its impact on various food properties. In this study, the effect of solar cooking on the nutritional, microbiological, and sensory properties of cookies made with peach palm flour was evaluated. The cookies were baked in tubular solar cookers and in a conventional oven as a control.
