Purpose: This study examined the effect of different gluten-free flours on the properties of cookies. Methods: Each gluten-free cookie was made from wheat, brown rice, buckwheat, corn, sorghum, teff, or black rice. Results: Baking loss was highest on sorghum (18.85%) and the lowest on teff (12.73%). The spread factor was highest on brown rice (8.20) and lowest on corn (7.60). The density was similar in all samples (1 g/mL). pH was the highest on buckwheat (6.45) and lowest on wheat (5.96). While L-value, a-value and b-value were lowest on black rice, the ${\Delta}E-value$ was the highest on black rice (35.57). The hardness was highest on wheat (30.28 N) and lowest on teff (14.87 N). The polyphenol and flavonoid content was the highest on buckwheat ($25.97{\mu}g\;GAE/mg$) and the flavonoid content was the highest on black rice ($24.33{\mu}g\;QE/mg$). The DPPH IC50 value was highest on wheat ($352.41{\mu}g/mL$) and lowest on black rice ($33.59{\mu}g/mL$). The ABTS $IC_{50}$ value was highest on wheat ($349.30{\mu}g/mL$) and lowest on black rice ($57.72{\mu}g/mL$). The results of the sensory properties revealed color to be highest on corn (7.33). The top grain was similar in all the samples (5.43-6.57). Flavor was highest on black rice and teff (6.43-6.48). The softness was the highest on wheat, sorghum, teff, and black rice (6.48-7.05). Sweetness was highest on sorghum, teff, and black rice (6.19-6.71). The overall preference also was highest on sorghum, teff, and black rice (6.14-6.48). Conclusion: Gluten-free flours can improve the quality characteristics and antioxidant activities of cookies.

This study investigated the quality characteristics and antioxidant activities of gluten-free cookies containing teff flour. By substituting 0% (control), 25% (TF25), 50% (TF50), 75% (TF75), and 100% (TF100) of wheat flour with teff flour, five samples were produced. Baking loss rate was the highest in TF25 at 13.76% and the lowest in TF75 at 4.03%. Spread factor was significantly higher in cookies made with teff flour (83.00~85.00) than in the control (81.33) (p<0.05). There was no significant difference in density among the samples at 1.17~1.25 g/mL (p<0.05); however, pH significantly decreased at 6.42~6.04 (p<0.05). While the L-value and b-value significantly decreased with the amount of teff flour, the a-value significantly increased (p<0.05). The ${\Delta}E$ value was the highest in the control at 31.31 and the lowest in TF100 at 58.69. Hardness was the highest in the control at 42.04 N than in cookies containing teff flour. The content of polyphenols was the highest in TF100 at $3.37{\mu}g\;GAE/mg$ and the lowest in the control at $1.32{\mu}g\;GAE/mg$. The content of flavonoids was the highest in TF100 at $3.66{\mu}g\;QE/mg$ and the lowest in controls at $0.45{\mu}g\;QE/mg$. The value of DPPH $IC_{50}$ was the highest in the control at $3,723.00{\mu}g/mL$ and the lowest in TF 100 at $405.27{\mu}g/mL$. The value of ABTS $IC_{50}$ was the highest in the control at $1,822.32{\mu}g/mL$ and the lowest in TF100 at $529.30{\mu}g/mL$. In sensory evaluation, while control, TF75, and TF100 had a higher score in appearance at 5.52~5.60, all samples had no significant differences in flavor, sweetness, savory taste, chewiness, and overall acceptability (p<0.05). These results showed that the gluten-free cookies containing teff flour can improve the quality characteristics and antioxidant activities of a cookie. We concluded that gluten-free cookies containing 100% teff flour are desirable.

Different processing methods, including steeping, boiling, roasting, and pressure roasting were used to deactivate anti-nutritional factors and remove off-flavor present in legumes. The physical and textural characteristic of cookie made with the treated flours were examined. The lightness of roasted cowpea flour was higher than that of the other treated legume flours, whereas that of pressure-roasted mungbean flour was the lowest. The boiled and pressure-roasted legume flours exhibited substantially lower pasting viscosity since the starches in these flours were considerably gelatinized during the heat treatment. Steeped mungbean flour had a significantly higher final viscosity than the other treated legume flours. Cookies containing mungbean flour had a higher protein content but lower lipid content than those containing cowpea flour. Cookies made with cowpea flour had a greater hardness than those made with mungbean flour. Cookies containing roasted flour had relatively better color properties than did those containing flours that were treated using other methods.

The highly producible rice cultivars, hanareum and dasan 2, were prepared and investigated for their physicochemical properties, and the quality characteristics of frozen cookie dough with rice flour according to the thawing time were measured. The water, ash, crude protein, amylose, and damaged starch contents of rice flour, as well as its water holding capacity, particle size, and Hunter color value, were measured. The water, ash, and crude protein contents of the hanareum and dasan 2 rice flours were shown to range from 7.28 to 13.14%, from 0.35 to 0.39, and from 6.05 and 8.68%, respectively. The protein content of the control group was higher than that of hanareum and dasan 2 rice flours. The amylose contents of the hanareum and dasan 2 rice flour were 19.05 and 23.04%, respectively. The damaged starch content and water holding capacity of the control group were lower than those of the hanareum and dasan 2 rice flours. The particle sizes of the samples were $48.54{\sim}50.05{\mu}m$. The lightness values of the hanareum, and dasan 2 rice flour, and of the control were 93.72, 93.51 and 92.63, respectively. The quality characteristics of the gluten-free frozen cookie dough were investigated. The lightness of the cookie made with frozen cookie dough decreased according to the by thawing time, but the diameter of the cookie did not differ significantly. The hardness of the cookie made with rice frozen dasan 2 rice dough was lower than that of the cookie made with frozen hanareum rice dough.

The effects of pregelatinized rice flour (PRF) as an additive on the textural properties of rice cookies were investigated in this study. PRF was used at 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, and 60% per 100 g of rice flour. The hardness of dough and cookies, as measured by a texture analyzer, increased upon the addition of PRF. In contrast, the moisture content of the dough and cookies decreased upon the addition of PRF. The L value of the dough and cookies decreased upon the addition of PRF, whereas the a value increased upon the addition of PRF. The bulk density of the cookies increased upon the addition of PRF. In addition, the spreadability of the cookies was lower than the control. In the sensory evaluation, rice cookies with 50% PRF showed the highest scores for hardness, brittleness, softness, and moisture. Rice cookies with 60% PRF showed the highest scores for sandiness. Our results suggest that the texture of the rice cookies can be improved by adding PRF.

The purpose of this study is to prepare extruded rice flours suitable for baking rice cookies. The extruded rice flours were prepared at 100 and 130$^{\circ}C$ temperature and 25 and 27% moisture content in a co-rotating twin screw extruder. The rice extrudates were dried at 100$^{\circ}C$ for 18 hr and subsequently ground into the fine flour. Characteristics of the extruded rice flours were examined by rapid visco analysis, hydration property analysis, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and in vitro digestion test. Water absorption, solubility, and swelling power of all extruded rice flours were higher than those of native rice flour. DSC analysis showed that native rice flour had a peak at about 65$^{\circ}C$ while all extruded rice flours did not show any peaks since they were already gelatinized during the extrusion proess. Viscosity of the extruded rice flours decreased with increasing temperature and lowering moisture content in the extrusion proess. The extruded rice flours prepared at 130$^{\circ}C$ exhibited lower viscosity than those prepared at 100$^{\circ}C$. The operating temperature of the extrusion proess was critical for the starch digestion in vitro. The extruded rice flours prepared at 130$^{\circ}C$ showed a rapid decrease in digestible starch content while an increased level of slowly digestible starch content was observed compared to those treated at 100$^{\circ}C$ in the extruder. Cookies were prepared with a mixture of wheat flour and extruded rice flours at the ratio of 7 to 3. The cookies made with the extruded rice flours had lower spread factor and darker yellow color than those prepared with wheat flour only. Hardness of the extruded rice flour-added cookies was similar to that of the wheat flour cookie whereas their overall acceptance was better. Therefore the rice cookies partially supplemented with extruded rice flours may have a potential as early childhood foods which require soft texture and allergy reduction.
