To investigate the effects of Asparagus powder on the quality and flavor of cookies.
Single-factor experiments and orthogonal experiments were conducted to determine the optimal formula of Asparagus cookies. Using low-gluten flour cookies as the control, the physicochemical properties, sensory quality, and flavor of both groups were evaluated. Furthermore, solid-phase microextraction coupled with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry was employed for the analysis of volatile flavor components.
Under the temperature-controlled baking condition (preheating the oven to 170 ℃, baking for 8 min, then cooling to 120 ℃and baking for another 12 min), the optimal formula of Asparagus cookies was determined as follows: Asparagus powder 6 g, low-gluten flour 120 g, butter 37.5 g, corn oil 25 g, sunflower oil 12.5 g, milk 24 g, corn starch 4 g, powdered sugar 33 g and salt 1 g. A total of 32 kinds of volatile flavor compounds were detected in the Asparagus cookies, whereas 21 kinds of were identified in the control group (low-gluten flour cookies). Compared with the control group, several unique flavor substances were exclusively found in the Asparagus cookies, including trans-geranylgeraniol (fruity aroma), 1-octen-3-ol (mushroom aroma) and trans-2-heptenal (grassy aroma).
The addition of an appropriate amount of Asparagus powder to low-gluten flour effectively enhances the flavor profile of cookies. This study demonstrates that Asparagus powder can serve as a functional and flavor-enhancing ingredient in baked goods.
