| dc.description.abstract | The present study was carried out to develop gluten-free cookies from quality protein maize (HQPM-1) flour and jaggery. The quality protein maize has a higher amount of lysine and tryptophan amino acids than the common maize varieties. The oat flour was used to enhance the baking quality of the QPM flour. The flours were subjected to proximate analysis, mineral content, functional properties, pasting properties and gluten detection. The QPM : oat flour had high values for crude protein (12.04%), crude fat (5.50%), crude fibre (2.76%) and mineral content while the low value for total carbohydrates (69.00%) than the QPM and wheat flour. There was no gluten detected in QPM : oat flour and its functional and pasting properties had near about values to the wheat flour. The jaggery powder used in cookie preparation had a good amount of minerals. After standardization of the flour based on sensory evaluation of prepared cookies, the jaggery based cookies were made from QPM : oat flour and optimized by replacing sugar with jaggery in 0, 25, 50, 75, and 100% proportions. The 100% sugar and 50% jaggery cookies were most accepted than the other cookies in the sensory evaluation. The prepared cookies were subjected to physical evaluation, proximate analysis, minerals, acid insoluble ash content, gluten detection, total phenolic content, antioxidant activity and textural hardness. Physical evaluation revealed that jaggery added cookies had a reduced baking loss, volume, spread ratio and spread factor than the sugar cookies while a non-significant difference was observed for the diameter, thickness, weight and density of the cookies. The jaggery added cookies were high in redness and low in lightness and yellowness than the sugar cookies. Also, jaggery addition had increased the ash, minerals, total phenolic content, antioxidant activity and textural hardness of the cookies while a non-significant difference was observed in moisture, total carbohydrates, crude protein, crude fibre and energy content of the cookies. The acid insoluble ash and gluten content of both cookies were under standard limits. Both cookies were stored for 90 days and analyzed for moisture, free fatty acid, colour change and sensory parameters during this period. An increase in moisture and free fatty acid content of both cookies was observed. However, jaggery cookies had absorbed a little high moisture in earlier days whereas sugar cookies had a little high free fatty acid content throughout the storage study. There was an increase in redness and a decrease in lightness and yellowness noticed in the jaggery cookies while a slight reduction in yellowness was observed in sugar cookies. Organoleptically, both cookies were similar and acceptable across the storage. These cookies are beneficial to both gluten intolerant and normal persons as they were glutenfree and high in quality protein, fibre and minerals. | |
