Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the quality of wheat-rice cookies with the addition of natural colorants, Nutmeg, and coconut milk powder (CMP). In the experiment of evaluating the impact of natural colorants on cookie quality, the Khai-mod-rin rice-wheat cookie recipe was used as the control. The addition of natural colorants did not significantly affect cookie color or sensory evaluations (P>0.05). Therefore, the control formula was chosen for studying the effects of nutmeg addition. Nutmeg addition decreased L* and b* values while increasing a* values. Cookies with 4% nutmeg had a significantly higher spreading ratio (P<0.05), but the % baking loss was similar across treatments. Sensory evaluations indicated similar acceptance scores for cookie color. Acceptance scores for odor, taste, texture, and overall quality were higher for cookies containing 2% and 3% nutmeg, with no significant difference in overall acceptability between these two treatments. Therefore, the 2% nutmeg cookie formula was chosen for studying the effects of CMP addition. CMP was supplemented at four levels: 0%, 15%, 30%, and 45% (w/w as margarine substitution). Results showed that increasing CMP levels tended to decrease L* values and increase a* values. The spreading ratio decreased with higher CMP levels, and the % baking loss was lowest in the 45% CMP cookies. Sensory evaluation scores showed that cookies with 30% CMP had the highest scores average liking scores for color, odor, taste, texture and overall acceptance being 7.50, 7.30, 7.13, 7.13, and 7.60 respectively. The Nutmeg-CMP wheat-rice cookies had a moisture content that conformed to the Community Product Standard 118/2003 guidelines. In conclusion, this study shows that nutmeg and CMP can be effectively applied to produce an acceptable product: the Nutmeg-CMP wheat-rice cookie.
