  2. Purpose of Experiment • Create an acceptable sweet product with a higher protein nutritional value aimed at benefiting diabetics. • Quinoa may aid in maintaining normal blood sugar levels. • Studies show that quinoa significantly decreases the levels of blood glucose. • Quinoa is loaded with essential amino acids, carbohydrates, protein, mg+, & Vitamin B

  3. Experimental Design • Created three products total: 100% cake flour chocolate cupcake (control), 50/50 mixture of cake and quinoa flour, and a 100% quinoa extreme sample!

  4. Results!!

  5. Results!!!

  6. Results!

  7. Conclusion • The general public did not notice a major change between the 50/50 and control sample, therefore indicating an acceptable substitution! • Implications for the future: further research should be done to perfect this sugar free chocolate cupcake. • In the future we would like to further make the recipe healthier by substituting splenda for honey or agave (more natural sources of sugar), butter for olive oil, and perhaps add coffee or cinnamon to mask the biter aftertaste!
