BACKGROUND: Adults with chronic kidney disease (CKD) have different protein requirements than the general population. Limited protein-rich baked snack options are available for CKD adults. The purpose of this proof of concept study was to develop two protein-rich baked snacks made with whey protein isolate and soy protein isolate and to evaluate their quality characteristics and sensory perceptions for adults with CKD.

METHODS: A control formulation was obtained from the American Association of Cereal Chemists to develop three formulations-dried milk (control), whey protein isolate and soy protein isolate at an unbaked weight of 30 g. Product quality characteristics included moisture content, water activity, shape and size, and texture profile. For the sensory perception, healthy adults (n = 101) and adults with CKD (n = 57) completed a 9-point hedonic scale for appearance, flavor, texture, and overall acceptability.

RESULTS: Protein content for the whey protein isolate and soy protein isolate reached 20% total weight. Despite containing similar moisture, both formulations were harder than the control (p < 0.001). Healthy participants preferred the whey protein isolate-based snack over the soy protein isolate-based snack for all attributes (p < 0.05). Differences in the same attributes were not perceived among CKD participants (p > 0.05). Open-ended responses from both healthy and CKD participants indicated that the soy protein isolate formulation was softer and sweeter compared to the whey protein isolate formulation.

CONCLUSION: Overall, adults with CKD preferred both the whey protein isolate-and soy protein isolate-formulated snacks. These protein-rich baked snacks can be further modified to serve as an alternative snack choice for adults with CKD and used in future clinical trials.
