To investigate the relationship of wheat single kernel characteristics with end-use properties, 183 soft wheat cultivars and lines were evaluated for milling quality characteristics (kernel hardness, kernel and flour protein, flour ash), and end-use properties (i.e., as ingredients in sugar-snap cookies, sponge cake). Significant positive correlations occurred among wheat hardness parameters including near-infrared reflectance (NIR) score and single kernel characterization system (SKCS). The SKCS characteristics were also significantly correlated with conventional wheat quality parameters such as kernel size, wheat protein content, and straight-grade flour yield. The cookie diameter and cake volume were negatively correlated with NIR and SKCS hardness, and there was an inverse relationship between flour protein contents and kernel weights or sizes. Sugar-snap cookie diameter was positively correlated with sponge cake volume.

Physicochemical properties and suitability of domestic wheat varieties for production of sugar-snap cookie were examined. Four kinds of commercially available wheat flour and six kinds of other domestic wheat varieties were tested. Domestic wheat varieties had protein contents ranging 7.7 to 11.5%, alkaline water retention capacity (AWRC) of 54.6 to 65.2%, Pelshenke values of 17 to 31 min, and sedimentation values of 19.6 to 30.8 mL. Peak viscosity range of Korean wheat flours measured by Rapid Visco Analyser was from 134.4 to 346.3 unit. Diameter of cookies fer US soft wheat flour was 7.8 cm and domestic wheat flours ranged from 7.2 to 7.9 cm. Cookie spread factors for Alchanmil, Tapdongmil, and Woorimil flours were higher than those of other flours. Protein content had significantly high correlation coefficient of $r=0.892^{**}$ with sedimentation value, and showed negative correlation with cookie diameter, spread factor, and top grain score. AWRC values had significantly high correlation coefficient of $r=-0.736^{**}$ with cookie diameter. Spread factor of cookie showed positive correlation with top grain score.

Freeze-dried Ecklonia cava powder was incorporated into cookie dough at 5 levels (0%, 1.5%, 3%, 4.5%, and 6%, w/w) by replacing equivalent amount of wheat flour of the cookie dough. After aging and sheeting, cookies were baked at $185^{\circ}C$ for 14 min in a convection oven. The baked cookies were cooled to room temperature for 30 min and packed in airtight bags prior to all measurements. Lightness $(L^*)$ decreased significantly as the E. cava powder content increased (p<0.05) and a decreasing trend in both redness ($a^*$-value) and yellowness ($b^*$-value) was observed. On the other hand, firmness increased significantly with an increase in E. cava powder content (p<0.05). Increases in E. cava powder concentration up to 6% in the cookie formulation significantly increased the intensities of all sensory attributes such as color, flavor, taste, and firmness (p<0.05). Correlation analysis indicated that the E. cava concentration correlated significantly with most of the properties except for $a^*$-value (p<0.01, 0.05, or 0.001). Properties such as firmness and sensory color and firmness correlated positively while $L^*$- and $b^*$-value correlated negatively with E. cava concentration. Sensory color correlated negatively with $L^*$- and $b^*$-value. Sensory firmness correlated positively with mechanically measured firmness.

The use of flour milled from the Ofree wheat cultivar for baking attenuates allergies because some of the genes related to the allergic reaction have been knocked because some of its genes related to allergic reactions have been knocked down or knocked out through genetic mutation. However, the utilization of this flour is limited because the Ofree grain contains high content of total protein and gluten. Microwave irradiation has been used for changing the protein and gluten characteristics of wheat flour. Thus, this study investigated appropriate conditions of microwave irradiation to enhance the utilization of Ofree flour. As a result, when the flour was microwave-treated for 2 min, although the total protein and gluten contents were not changed, some qualities of the baked sugar-snap cookies, such as spread factor (diameter and thickness) and appearance (crack), were ameliorated. However, excessive heat treatment of the flour for over 3 min led to protein denaturation, which negatively affected the quality of the products. These results indicate that 2 min of microwave irradiation of flour that has high content of total protein and gluten can be used for the enhancement of cookie quality. Therefore, these results are expected to increase the utilization of Ofree wheat flour.
