abstract = {Wheatgrass is a rich source of nutrient and antioxidative
compound. The incorporation of wheatgrass powder in to a traditional staple
food and their effect on the textural and functional properties of the product
have been studied. Freeze dried wheatgrass flower at levels of 0.05-3.0% was
added to the formulation mix. The results obtained from the analysis of the
fermented product are discussed in terms of the effect of wheatgrass powder
addition on nutritional and textural characteristics. The samples were prepared
using selected strain of microorganism Leuconostoc mesenteroides and
Lactobacillus plantarum. Incorporation of wheatgrass in to the batter
significantly (p<0.05) increased the level of phenolic compounds (p<0.05)
but decreased the volume of the batter and volume of the product. Hardness of
the product is indirectly proportional to the batter volume. Sensory test panel
indicated that wheatgrass flower could be incorporated into the products up
to the level of 1%.}
