The purpose of this study was to investigate the quality characteristics of cookies prepared with wheat sprout powder substituted at varying proportions (0%, 2%, 4%, 6%, and 8%) for wheat flour. The bulk density of cookie dough with wheat sprout powder were higher than that of the control group and the pH decreased. The moisture content of the groups with wheat sprout powder was higher than the control group. Width and thickness of finished cookies containing wheat sprout powder were lower than those of the control group. The spread ratio of the group with 8% wheat sprout powder was higher than that of the control group. In color, the L and a value decreased significantly with addition of wheat sprout powder. The hardness of the study groups was lower than that of the control group. DPPH radical scavenging activity of the control group was 24.90%, whereas the study groups ranged from 27.53~38.76%. Sensory evaluation scores in terms of appearance, texture, taste and overall preference of groups with 2% and 4% of wheat sprout powder did not show any significant difference when compared to the control group. Based on the above results, using less than 4% of the wheat sprout powder would be appropriate for use in cookies.

Wheat sprout (Triticum aestivum) shows excellent nutritional and health effects due to the contents in amino acids, minerals, and other nutrients rich in chlorophyll and vitamins. In this study, spent coffee grounds were used to cultivate the wheat sprout for 12 day. An amount of 0%, 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, and 100% (w/w, based on commercial sterile soil media) spent coffee grounds were used under the same conditions. Total length and weight of wheat sprout, aboveand below-ground length and weight, and the chloropyll contents were compared. Soil media were analyzed before and after wheat cultivation, showing that 40% and 60% (w/w) coffee media promoted wheat growth in view of length and weight. Chlorophyll contents in each group showed almost constant values, while 100% (w/w) coffee media led to a slight decrease. In conclusion, spent coffee grounds stimulated wheat growth, showing nearly stable contents of chlorophyll.

The effects of reducing pork fat levels from 20% to 15% or 10% by partially substituting pork back fat with wheat sprout fiber in reduced-fat chicken patties were investigated. Approximate composition, energy value, pH, color, cooking loss, reduction in diameter, reduction in thickness, shear force, and sensory properties were determined. Moisture content, ash contents, yellowness of uncooked and cooked reduced-fat chicken patties with wheat sprout were higher than those in the control, while displaying fat content, calorie content, and pH of uncooked and cooked lower in reduced-fat chicken patties than in the control. Cooking loss, reduction in diameter, and reduction in thickness were the highest in the reduced-fat chicken patties with 10% fat level. Cooking loss, reduction in diameter, and reduction in thickness were decreased when fat levels and wheat sprout levels were increased. Control samples without wheat sprout dietary fiber had significantly (p<0.05) higher color and flavor scores compared to reduced-fat chicken patties containing wheat sprout dietary fiber. The overall acceptability of the control and treatment with 15% fat and 2% wheat sprout dietary fiber (T3) was the highest. Therefore, 15% fat level in reduced-fat chicken patties with the addition of 2% wheat sprout dietary fiber can be used to improve the quality and sensory characteristics of regular-fat chicken patties containing 20% fat level.

This study investigated the quality of muffins prepared with various concentrations of wheat sprout powder. Muffins were prepared by adding 0, 1, 3, 5, and 7% wheat sprout powder to flour of the basic formulation. The weight of muffins increased upon addition of 3~5% wheat sprout powder. Height and volume index of the muffins containing 1~5% wheat sprout powder were higher than those of the control. The pH, lightness, and redness of muffins decreased with 3~5% wheat sprout powder, whereas yellowness and moisture contents increased. The hardness of muffins increased upon addition of wheat sprout powder, but there was no significant difference among the sample groups. The total polyphenol contents and antioxidative activity as measured by 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging activity of muffins increased as the concentration of wheat sprout powder increased. Muffins containing 1~5% wheat sprout powder showed acceptable sensory properties, including color, flavor, taste, and overall acceptability. Results indicate that the optimal concentration of wheat sprout powder in the muffin formula was 3~5% (w/w).

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the quality properties of muffins added with different concentrations(0, 3, 6, 9, and 12%) of wheat sprout powder. The height of muffins were decreased by the addition of wheat sprout powder. The weight and the baking loss rate of muffins were not significantly different among all sample groups. The volume and specific loaf volume of muffins were decreased by the addition of wheat sprout powder. The moisture content of the samples with wheat sprout powder was higher, but the pH of muffins was lower than those of the control group. DPPH radical scavenging activity of the control group was 18.17%, whereas the samples with wheat sprout powder ranged from 21.13~34.67%. In color of crumb, the L and a value were decreased, but the b value was increased significantly by the addition of wheat sprout powder. The hardness and brittleness of textural properties of muffins were not significantly different between control and groups with 3%, 6%, and 9% of wheat sprout powder. Sensory evaluation scores in terms of after swallowing, appearance, flavor, taste, texture and overall preference of groups with 3% and 6% of wheat sprout powder did not show any significant difference or were higher when compared to the control group. Result indicated that the optimal concentration of wheat sprout powder into the muffin formula was 6%(w/w).

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the physicochemical components and antioxidant activities of wheat sprout powder prepared by the enzymatic hydrolysis and lactic acid bacteria treatment. The four kinds of pre-treatment were: no treatment (WP), treated with enzyme (WPE), treated with lactic acid bacteria (WPL), and treated with enzyme and lactic acid bacteria (WPEL) were applied to the wheat sprout powder. The WPEL had higher total free amino acid and essential amino acid content than the other samples. As for the volatile aroma of the wheat sprout powder, 29 types of compounds were identified in the WP and WPL, 28 types in the WPE, and 27 types in the WPEL, respectively. The total polyphenols and flavonoids contents, in the wheat sprout powder was enhanced with the enzyme and the lactic acid bacteria pre-treatment. The WPEL had highest DPPH radical scavenging activities. The overall acceptability was the highest at 6.24 points in the WPEL. Based on these observations, it was confirmed that the enzyme and lactic acid bacteria pre-treatment could improve the antioxidant activities and active component of the wheat sprout powder.

This study set its purpose on to specify whether it is possible to use wheat sprout extracts for source of cosmetics, and its biological activity. Cellular experiment was conducted to apprehend toxicity of wheat sprout extracts and through study on the whitening and aging activity of skin cell. As a result, it is appeared that wheat sprout extracts have weak toxicity for HDF, B16F10 cells. Also, it is appeared that wheat sprout extracts have weak deterrent effect on melanin biosynthesis, but since the extracts impede expression of MMP-1, which is induced UV ray, the extracts hold down the aging effect by UV rays. Hence the extracts are effective on preventing wrinkles caused by UV ray and aging. Therefore, this study is expected to be utilized usefully, if the wheat sprout extracts are used as source of functional cosmetics from the perspective of preventing skin-aging in the future.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the quality characteristics of white pan bread added with wheat sprout powder without treatment (WP) and wheat sprout powder with only enzyme treatment (WPE), only lactic acid bacteria treatment (WPL) and enzyme and lactic acid bacteria treatment (WPE&L). The three different powder concentration levels of 1%, 3%, and 5% were added to flour to produce the white pan bread. The bread volume and specific volume of the WPE&L group were the highest among all the addition groups. The bread weight, a-value, and b-value of the WP group was highest among all the addition groups, but the bread baking loss and the L-value of the WP group was the lowest among all the addition groups. The texture measurements indicated that the hardness, gumminess, and chewiness values of the bread were the highest in the WP group. The sensory evaluation test showed that bread in the WPE&L group with 3% wheat sprout powder was the best among all the samples studied. Based on our findings, we suggest that the enzyme and lactic acid bacteria pretreated wheat sprout powder is an effective ingredient for improving the overall quality of white pan bread.
