MARKETING RESULTS
Whitney Hall foods were the least favorite
Reasons why: poor taste poor quality poor nutrition
So we decided to alter the recipe of the
grilled cheese sandwich at Whitney Hall
OBJECTIVE
To make a healthier, better-tasting grilled cheese sandwich by altering the type of bread and using different fat content of one specific type of cheese
HYPOTHESIS
By using more nutritious bread and cheese with less fat, the taste and density of the sandwich will not be drastically changed and the nutrition and quality will be improved
TARGET AUDIENCE
People who eat at Whitney Dining Hall: Students Staff Faculty Local Residents Visitors Etc.
SIGNIFICANCE OF STUDY
To discover if a healthier version of grilled cheese can be made without compromising taste.
TWO SIMILAR STUDIES
Peer Reviewed Articles: Mediterranean Milk and Milk Products
Including Indigestible Carbohydrates in the Evening Meal of Healthy Subjects Improves Glucose Tolerance, Lowers Inflammatory Markers, and increases Satiety after a Subsequent Standardized Breakfast
MEDITERRANEAN MILK AND MILK PRODUCTS
Comparing: German cheese technique and Mediterranean techniqueGerman technique: Softer and made with
whey and creamMediterranean technique: use milk from
sheep, goat and buffalo. High in essential AA and lower in fat
Conclusion: Adding whey protein to low fat cheese is that in low-fat cheese it allows for sensory improvement and high nutritional value
INCLUDING INDIGESTIBLE CARBOHYDRATES IN THE EVENING MEAL OF HEALTHY SUBJECTS IMPROVES GLUCOSE TOLERANCE, LOWERS INFLAMMATORY MARKERS, AND INCREASES SATIETY AFTER A SUBSEQUENT STANDARDIZED BREAKFAST •This was done to find out how many indigestible carbohydrates affect glucose tolerance and satiety.•Barley kernel bread and white wheat flour bread enriched with barley improved glucose tolerance
•White wheat flour bread without the barley enrichment had no such affect
•The study also found that barley bread and enriched white wheat bread improved satiety

PROCEDURESSENSORY EXPERIMENTS QDA
9-Point Hedonic Scale47 panelists rated each sandwich Each rating received a number
Disliked Very Much- 1Liked Very Much- 9
OBJECTIVE RESULTS
We used a penetrometer to determine how firm or soft the grilled cheese sandwiches were.
The results show that the most firm sandwich was the whole wheat/low fat cheese with an average penetration of 2.02 cm.
The least firm was the white bread/low fat cheese sandwich with an average penetration of 2.83 cm.
OBJECTIVE RESULTS
Average
White Bread/Regular Cheese 2.62 cm
White Bread/ Low Fat Cheese 2.83 cm
Whole Wheat Bread/ Regular Cheese 2.42 cm
Whole Wheat Bread/ Low Fat Cheese 2.02 cm
OBJECTIVE RESULTS INTERPRETED
The wheat bread is firmer than the white bread.
There is no significant difference in the firmness between the low fat and the full fat cheese.
The healthy sandwich is not completely opposite of the control sandwich in firmness and this confirms that the healthier sandwich does not have to be totally compromised from the control.
These results help confirm our hypothesis.

HEDONIC SCALE INTERPRETED
The whole wheat bread/ low fat cheese sandwich was rated highest among sensory evaluators.
This confirms our hypothesis that a healthier grilled cheese sandwich can taste good and be accepted among consumers!
QDA INTERPRETED
The higher the value, the less the attribute is sensed.

QDA INTERPRETED
White bread is softer than wheat
Wheat bread sandwiches were chewier than white bread ones.
The full fat cheese sandwiches had higher attributes of cheesy after taste.
The whole wheat bread/ low fat healthy grilled cheese sandwich had the lowest attribute of butteryness.
QDA INTERPRETED
The range of perception of the panelists and the sandwiches was not wide.
All the attributes were within 1.5 points. The largest difference between the control
sandwich and the healthy version was a variance of 0.8 for softness.
This confirms our hypothesis that the sandwich attributes do not have to be compromised much for a healthier sandwich.

OUR DATA RESULTS COMPARED TO THE LITERATURE
According to a grain of truth, wholegrain breads are more nutritious, which is why we chose whole wheat bread for our healthier version of the grilled cheese sandwich.
A traditional grilled cheese sandwich, consisting of two slices of white bread, two slices cheese, and two tablespoons butter, has 410 calories, 29 grams of fat, 18 grams of saturated fat, 840 mg. of sodium, and just 1 gram of fiber.
OUR DATA RESULTS COMPARED TO THE LITERATURE
Using whole-wheat bread, less cheese, and omitting the butter (which in our case we only changed 2 things and decided to choose low-fat cheese), reduces the calories by about 25%, 60% less fat, 70% less saturated fat, and 38% less sodium!
STUDY LIMITATIONS
The primary limitation to our study is that it was difficult to keep all the grilled cheese sandwiches the same temperature and freshness. By the time we would get to our fifth sandwich, our first sandwich would be cold.
We tried our best to solve this by putting our sandwiches at a low temperature in the oven to keep them all warm.
OBJECTIVE STUDY LIMITATIONS
Our objective results for the penetrometer could have been skewed from the sandwiches being cold from having to wait for other groups to use it and also there being a slight difference in the space between the probe and each sandwich
Conclusion
• Results were inconclusive
•Based on the P value of all tests, there was never a difference <0.05 or significant difference
• Promising that the variations of sandwiches were not detected
• Grilled Cheese may taste the same to people because variations not that different
Conclusion
• In the future:
• Greater difference in bread
• Try using varying amounts of butter
• Develop technique to keep sandwiches at a uniform temperature until ready to serve
• Panelist may not be nutrition students
