Biscuits made with high-oleic sunflower oil or butter tasted good and had a nice texture, but the ones made with coconut and sunflower oil mix were liked the most by tasters.
Scientific Claim
Biscuits made with high-oleic sunflower oil or butter received favorable sensory and structural ratings, while the coconut/sunflower oil blend achieved the highest overall acceptability among tested formulations.
Original Statement
“Biscuits formulated with high-oleic sunflower oil or butter achieved desirable structural and sensory properties, while the coconut/sunflower oil sample obtained the highest overall acceptability”

Assessment Explanation
Terms like 'desirable' and 'highest overall acceptability' imply subjective superiority without reporting methodology (e.g., panel size, scale, controls). The in vitro design cannot validate generalizability or causation.
More Accurate Statement
“Biscuits formulated with high-oleic sunflower oil or butter were associated with favorable structural and sensory properties, and the coconut/sunflower oil blend was associated with the highest overall acceptability in sensory evaluations.”
