Today, 70% of the food supply comes from just three grains (corn, wheat and rice) but we rely on few grains. The search for the use of agro-industrial residues in industrial processing has led to obtaining unconventional products that constitute raw materials for human food. The objective of the work was to enrich baked cookies with the addition bran from seed husk of Moringa oleifera. The bran was obtained from the shell of Moringa seeds during the shelling process, which was washed, dried and ground. The bran was added in doses of 5, 10 and 15% to the formulation of the baked cookies. Microbiological analysis was carried out, physicochemical characterization by near-infrared spectroscopy, and sensory evaluation were performed on 109 untrained consumers, using a seven-point hedonic test. The microbiological analysis was satisfactory, while the proximal analysis of the bran showed a perc...
