2.2. Methods
2.2.1. Cookie preparation
Wire-cut cookies were prepared according to the basic
formula given in Table 2 (AACC Method No: 10–54,
1990). The 15%, 20%, and 30% of the wheat flour used
was replaced with different fibres. Xylanase enzyme was
added to the formulation at a level of 0.4%, based on the
total weight of the mixture. A control sample including
no fibre and enzyme was also prepared (Table 2). The mixture
was kneaded using a laboratory type mixer for 10 min
low speed. The resulting dough was manually shaped into
circular form (diameter: 50 mm, thickness: 5 mm). The
cookies were baked in an air oven at 180 C for 17 min.
The cookies were cooled down to room temperature prior
to analysis (18–20 C).
