Utilization of Whey Protein Enriching in Lotus Seed Flour Butter Cookie

Abstract

Research on the use of whey protein supplements in butter cookies from lotus seed flour. The objectives were to study 1) basic formula for butter cookies from lotus seed flour 2) the appropriate amount of whey protein added in butter cookies from lotus seed flour 3) nutritional value of butter cookies with basic formula lotus seed flour and whey protein supplement in lotus seed flour cookies .The results of the selection of the basic formula butter cookies from lotus seed flour by using sensory quality assessment in various aspects, including appearance, color, smell, taste and texture of the three formulas were found that the overall results were statistically significant (p ≤ 0.05). and the sensory quality score of Formula 1 was greater than Formula 2 and Formula 3. The overall score was very high and the mean score were 8.50 ± 0.53, 8.53 ± 0.73, 8.47 ± 0.77, 8.40 ± 0.72, 8.30 ± 1.08, 8.47 ± 0.77, respectively. Therefore, the researcher chose Formula 1 as the basic formula for the study of whey protein supplementation. The proportion of whey protein in butter cookies from lotus seed flour were at 3 levels: 5, 10 and 15 percent of the total flour mixture weight. It found that the participants accepted the butter cookies from lotus seed flour in 10% whey protein-fortified formulas, more than 5% and15%.
