Abstract:
This study was undertaken to prepare novelly formulated cookies from elephant foot yam flour (EFYF) with refined wheat flour (RWF) and evaluate their proximate composition, quality characteristics, texture, pasting and organoleptic properties. The formulated cookies prepared from EFYF, substituting RWF up to 70% had sensory properties similar to that of refined flour cookies (control). EFYF and RWF blend revealed reduced water and oil absorption capacity with increased peak and final viscosities when compared with RWF. Reduced lightness, increased redness and hardness were observed for formulated cookies with increase in storage time. Irrespective of the decreasing trend in their texture, overall acceptance of the EFYF cookies by the consumers was increased. Sensory scores revealed the preference of consumers towards formulated cookies. Overall analysis disclosed that the cookies prepared from A. paeoniifolius flour proved acceptable not only in quality characteristics but also fulfil the demand of functional foods in preparation of cookies.
