Valorization of Artichoke Bracts as a Simultaneous Fat and Wheat Flour Substitute in Cookies.
Article in Journal of food science, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The valorization of food processing byproducts has become increasingly important for sustainable food production. Artichoke processing generates substantial amounts of waste, particularly in the form of bracts, which are rich in bioactive compounds and dietary fiber. This study investigated the potential of artichoke bracts as a simultaneous substitute for fat and wheat flour in cookie formulations and optimized the substitution levels using response surface methodology (RSM). The optimal formulation contained 14.26% artichoke bracts as a fat substitute and 23.74% as a wheat flour substitute. The optimized cookies exhibited significantly higher moisture content, hardness, fracturability, total phenolic content, and antioxidant activity (p < 0.05). The total dietary fiber content also increased significantly, reaching 10.14 g/100 g, allowing the product to be classified as a high-fiber food. In contrast, baking loss, spread ratio, and color parameters (L*, a*, b*) decreased with increasing substitution levels. Sensory evaluation demonstrated improvements in color, texture, flavor, and overall acceptability under optimal conditions. The findings indicate that artichoke bracts can be effectively utilized as partial substitutes for fat and wheat flour, enhancing the nutritional quality of cookies while maintaining sensory properties. This approach provides a promising strategy for food waste valorization and the development of functional bakery products. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: Artichoke bracts can be used as substitutes for fat and wheat flour in cookie formulations, enabling the production of fiber-rich and antioxidant-enhanced bakery products without compromising sensory quality. This approach offers the food industry a practical solution for reducing processing waste while supporting the development of sustainable and value-added functional foods.
