Quality Characteristics and Antioxidant Activities of Cookies added Eleutherococcus sessiliflorus Leaf Powder

In this study, we assessed the antioxidant activities and quality characteristics of cookies containing various concentrations (0, 1, 3 and 5%) of Eleutherococcus sessiliflorus leaf powder. Antioxidant activity was estimated based on DPPH free radical scavenging activity and total content of phenolic compounds in Eleutherococcus sessiliflorus leaf powder and cookies. The quality characteristics of Eleutherococcus sessiliflorus leaf cookies were estimated based on spread factor, loss rate, leavening rate, color, texture and sensory evaluation, polyphenol contents, DPPH free radical scavenging activity, as well as spread factor of cookies significantly increased. L value, b value and hardness of cookies decreased with increasing Eleutherococcus sessiliflorus leaf powder content. Finally, the sensory evaluation showed the highest scores for cookies containing 3% Eleutherococcus sessiliflorus leaf powder. From these results, we suggest that Eleutherococcus sessiliflorus leaf is a good ingredient for increasing consumer acceptability as well as the functionality of cookies.

RS4 형태의 옥수수 저항전분이 첨가된 쿠키의 품질 특성

Effects of RS4 type resistant corn starch on the quality characteristics of cookies were investigated by physicochemical, instrumental and sensory evaluation. The resistant starch was made by cross-linking of corn starch as following; corn starch slurry was annealed at pH 2.0 and for 2 h followed by the cross-linking reaction. The cross-linking reaction was performed at for 12 h in the presence of 1.2%/st.ds NaOH, 10%/st.ds sodium sulfate and 10%/st.ds of sodium trimetaphosphate (STMP)/sodium tripolyphosphate (STPP) mixture. Dietary fiber content of the resistant starch was estimated to be 73.8% by the AOAC method. For quality characteristics, dough pH decreased with the increase of the resistant starch content and spread factor decreased a little at 20% of the resistant starch. The moisture content and L value of cookies increased with the increase of the resistant starch content. However, the hardness and fracturability decreased with the increase of the resistant starch content. In the sensory evaluation, no significant differences were observed between the two cookies with or without the resistant starch. The results of this study suggest that the RS4 type resistant corn starch can be a good ingredient to increase dietary fiber content in cookies without changes of their qualities.

흑미 미강 쿠키의 항산화활성 및 품질특성

본 연구에서는 흑미 미강 분말을 첨가(0, 1, 3, 5, 7, 9%)한 쿠키를 제조하여 쿠키의 항산화 활성을 입증하고 품질특성을 측정하였다. 흑미 미강 분말의 총 페놀화합물 함량은 11.81±0.03 mg GAE/g이며, 이를 쿠키에 첨가한 경우 시료의 첨가량에 비례하여 증가하였다. 제조된 쿠키의 DPPH radical 소거능을 측정한 결과 흑미 미강 분말의 첨가량에 따라 항산화 활성도 유의적으로 증가하는 결과를 나타내었다. 항산화 활성의 기능성과 함께 제품의 적합성 판단을 위해 흑미 미강 분말과 쿠키의 품질평가를 실시하였다. 일반성분 분석의 결과 흑미 미강에는 섬유소와 지방의 성분이 많은 부분을 차지하고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 지방산의 분석에서 흑미 미강은 약 80%의 불포화지방산을 함유하고 있었으며 그 성분은 주로 oleic acid와 linoleic acid로 나타났다. 또한 아미노산의 분석에서 대조군에 비해 7% 첨가 쿠키가 높은 아미노산 함량을 나타내었다. 반죽의 밀도는 흑미 미강 첨가량이 증가할수록 높게 나타났고 pH는 감소하였다. 쿠키의 수분함량에는 유의적 차이가 나지 않았으며, 퍼짐성 지수는 흑미 미강 분말의 첨가량이 많아질수록 증가하였고, 손실율과 팽창률은 감소하였다. 쿠키의 색도는 흑미 미강 분말의 첨가량이 증가할수록 L값과 b값이 낮아지고, a값이 높아졌으며, 경도는 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 쿠키의 기호도 검사(전반적인 기호도, 외관, 향, 맛, 조직감)에서 5%와 7% 흑미 미강 쿠키가 유의적으로 높게 나타났다. 특성 강도 검사(흑미 미강 향, 고소한 맛, 부드러운 정도, 삼킨 후의 느낌)에서는 흑미 미강을 첨가한 쿠키에서 유의적으로 높은 강도를 보였으며, 느끼한 향은 대조군이 유의적으로 가장 강하다는 결과를 얻었다. 이러한 결과로 보아 쿠키에 흑미 미강분말을 첨가하는 것은 쿠키의 기호도를 증가시켜주고 동시에 총 페놀함량과 DPPH 라디칼 소거능을 높여주어 쿠키의 가치를 높일 수 있어 바람직할 것으로 사료되며, 쿠키 제조시 기호도가 가장 높고 항산화능이 좋았던 7% 흑미 미강분말을 첨가하는 것이 적합할 것으로 생각된다.

Physical and nutritional evaluation of wheat cookies supplemented with pulse flours of different particle sizes

With the aim to develop functionally and nutritionally improved cookies, the influence of the total or partial replacement of wheat flour by pulses flours on the quality characteristics of cookies was analysed. Blends containing 25, 50, 75 and 100 g/100 g of navy bean, pinto bean, green lentil and commercial yellow pea flours were prepared. Green lentil, navy and pinto bean flours were used at two degrees of milling (fine and coarse). The incorporation of pulse flours significantly affected the physical and chemical parameters of the cookies. Incorporation of fine flours remarkably increased cookies’ hardness and decreased spread while coarse flours marginally reduced both parameters. The greatest impact on the physical characteristics was observed with the incorporation of green lentil flour, where cookies made with coarse flour were of unacceptable structure and were sticky to handle. Cookies baked with pulse flours were higher in protein level and showed increased antioxidant activity compared to the control. Overall analysis indicated that cookies with acceptable physical characteristics and improved nutritional profile could be produced with partial or complete replacement of the wheat flour.

Influence of debittered, defatted fenugreek seed powder and flaxseed powder on the rheological characteristics of dough and quality of cookies

A functional ingredient mix (FIM) comprising debittered and defatted fenugreek seed powder (70%) and flaxseed powder (30%) was used in cookies. Ash, fat and protein, dough development time, resistance to extension and peak viscosity values increased as the level of FIM increased from 10 to 30% in the blend. Beyond 20% of FIM substitution, the quality characteristics of cookies were adversely affected. Use of soya lecithin produced a significant improvement in the overall quality of the cookies with 20% FIM. Linolenic acid and total dietary fiber content of the cookies with 20% FIM and lecithin contained four times the amount of linolenic acid (2.3%) and double the amount of dietary fiber (13.04%) when compared with the control cookies (0.5% and 6.22%) respectively. Surface scanning electron microscopy of cookies with different levels of FIM from 10 to 30% showed that there was a disruption in the matrix.

Quality Characteristics of Cookies Added with Nelumbo nucifera G. powder

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of Nelumbo nucifera G. (NN) powder on cookie quality characteristics. The cookies were made with various NN powder levels (1, 3, and 5%). Crude fiber, crude ash, and the Mg contents of cookies with added NN powder were higher in concentration than those of the control group. Salinity of NN-powder added groups was not significantly different when it was compared with the control group's salinity. No significant difference among the groups were observed for specific volume, but the width determined by water content in the dough decreased as the amount of added NN powder increased. The L-value of the cookies was significantly larger than that of the control group. The a- and b-values were the highest for the 5% substituted NN flour. According to the sensory evaluation of the cookies, scores for color, flavor, and texture increased with increasing amounts of added NN powder. The overall acceptance of the 3% NN added cookies was greater than that of the 1 and 5% cookies.

EFFECT OF DRIED MORINGA (MORINGA OLEIFERA LAM) LEAVES ON RHEOLOGICAL, MICROSTRUCTURAL, NUTRITIONAL, TEXTURAL AND ORGANOLEPTIC CHARACTERISTICS OF COOKIES

ABSTRACT Effect of replacement of wheat flour with 5, 10 and 15% dried moringa leaves (Moringa oleifera Lam) powder (DML) on the rheological, microstructural, nutritional and quality characteristics of cookies was studied. Incorporation of increasing amount of DML from 0 to 15% increased farinograph water absorption and decreased dough stability, amylograph pasting temperature and peak viscosity. Use of DML increased dough hardness and decreased cohesiveness and spread ratio of cookies. Sensory evaluation showed that cookies incorporated with 10% DML powder were acceptable. Microstructure studies showed calcium oxalate crystals in both DML powder and cookies with DML. The starch granules appeared wrapped in cookies with 10 and 15% DML. Protein, iron, calcium, β‐carotene and dietary fiber contents increased with increasing amount of DML from 0 to 15%. The results showed the possibility of utilizing DML to improve the nutritional characteristics of cookies.PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS Moringa oleifera Lam. is a popular, fast‐growing plant widely available in India. The leaves of moringa are used as a vegetable. The leaves are rich in protein, β‐carotene, iron, calcium and fiber. Tender moringa leaves are used in dhal, soup, salad and as a substitute for spinach. The leaves also possess many medicinal properties.The baking industry in India is growing at a very fast rate and the demand for health bakery products is increasing. Biscuits and cookies generally prepared from refined wheat flour are deficient in proteins, vitamins, minerals and fiber. Use of moringa leaves in cookies not only improves nutritional value but also brings in a familiar taste. The baking industry can exploit moringa leaves as a natural and inexpensive source of nutrients to produce nutritionally superior cookies.

Quality Characteristics of Cookies from Composite Flours of Watermelon Seed, Cassava and Wheat

The use of composite flour from watermelon seed, cassava (TMS 99/6012 variety) low in cyanide and wheat in the production of cookies was investigated. The proximate composition and functional properties of the samples were determined. Quality of cookies made with the blends was evaluated by a 20-member sensory panel. The watermelon seed flour was blended with wheat and cassava flour at the ratios of 0:100, 10:90, 15:85, 20:80, 50:50 and 100:0, 90: 10, 85:15, 80:20, 50:50, respectively. The protein and fat content of WC1 (watermelon seed flour/cassava flour, 90:10 ratio) was highest followed by WC2 (watermelon seed flour/ cassava flour, 85:15). WM3 cookies (wheat/watermelon seed flour, 80:20) ranked best in sensory evaluation conducted. All cookies were acceptable, scoring below 4.00 on a 9-point hedonic scale. Up to 20% wheat and 15% cassava flours could be replaced with watermelon seed flour in cookies.

Influence of gluten–soy protein blends on the quality of reduced carbohydrates cookies

The dietary requirements of consumers following low-carbohydrate diets are generating a market for protein-fortified products. Soy protein has been shown to lower cholesterol in hypercholesterolemic individuals, and it favorably affects calcium metabolism and kidney function relative to other high-quality proteins. The objective of this research was to investigate the incorporation of protein blends to reduce the carbohydrates on the acceptability and quality characteristics of cookies. Cookies were prepared using AACC method 10-53. Flour in the cookie formulation was replaced (10%, 15%, 20%, 25% and 30%) with the protein blend, increasing the protein content from 6% to 17.5% and reducing total carbohydrates. Water content was adjusted based on the measurements using the Farinograph water absorption. Water activity and hardness of cookies were not affected by the increasing flour replacement. The color of the cookies was darker as the protein blend increased beyond 20%. There is a definite potential for increasing the nutritional quality of cookies while reducing the carbohydrates.
