Whole Grain Cookie Texture Predicted by Bran WE-NSPs
• Punch test – 2 cookies, 5 punches each• Cookie volume as a covariate in analyses• 14 Cultivars @ 4 env:
– Cultivar F = 3.2** Range: 1.38 – 2.11 kg
• Force = 1.40 + (0.10 × [NSP]) – (0.83 × [Ara]/[Xyl])
r2 = 0.77
Guttieri, Sneller, and Souza. AACC 2009
Conclusions
• Less is More–Minimize milling–Simple testing is informative:
Softness equivalent & Protein• Variability in bran contribution to
cookie performance is important –and an opportunity
