With providing patients a lower fat/ saturated fats options and still appealing food alternative, it can help lower the risk for heart disease.
Methods: There was a total of 26 participants. Results from the scoreboards were collected and put into an excel spreadsheet to organize the data and to create tables and graphs. Average scores were run over each category and standard deviations as well. Nutritionist Pro was used to analyze macronutrients.
Results: Color- butter was the highest ranked with 46% of the participants stating that it had a "very dark brown or black" with olive oil coming in second place. Aroma- amongst all the variables, 57% of the participants reported that applesauce had the highest "slight aroma". 61 % stated that butter was the most tender and moist, with olive oil in second place. The best overall flavor was butter and applesauce were ranked the lowest with "unsweet flavor". Applesauce had the highest distinct aftertaste, with avocado following it
