The demand for healthy\u0000and quality food products has encouraged interest in innovative food ingredients. With\u0000wheat flour as the main ingredient in cookies, they generally contain a low number of\u0000phytochemical compounds. To reduce wheat flour usage in cookies, innovative\u0000ingredients such as chloroplast-rich fraction (CRF) derived from holy basil leaves can be\u0000used as an alternative to increase the nutritional value. This research aimed to compare the\u0000nutritional components of the whole leaf (WL) and CRF from holy basil leaves. The\u0000variations of holy basil WL and CRF were 0% (control), 3% WL, 6% WL, 3% CRF and\u00006% CRF. The water activity, colour, spread ratio, texture, chlorophyll, carotenoid,\u0000phenolic compound, and antioxidant activity were evaluated in these butter cookies. The\u0000results showed that CRF derived from holy basil leaves had a higher amount of macro and\u0000micronutrients than WL, except for fibre and carbohydrates. The cookies substituted with\u00006% CRF had the darkest green colour. The cookies substituted with 6% WL containing\u0000higher fibre led to a decreased spread ratio and increased hardness of cookies. In addition,\u0000the replacement of wheat flour with holy basil WL and CRF can enhance nutritional and\u0000antioxidant values in bakery products. The butter cookies substituted with 6% WL showed\u0000the highest concentration of phenolic; the cookies substituted with 6% CRF had the\u0000highest contents of chlorophyll, carotenoid, and antioxidant activity.","PeriodicalId":502485,"journal":{"name":"Food Research","volume":"120 21","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141822070","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Traditionally, tempeh is wrapped in banana leaf, but\u0000nowadays, tempeh wrappers are often replaced with plastic because it is cheap and\u0000practical. However, high plastic utilization in daily life results in waste accumulation and\u0000causes environmental issues. Therefore, different types of leaves were explored as\u0000wrapping alternatives to reduce plastic utilization. This study aimed to determine the\u0000sensory characteristics of tempeh made with various wrappers and the lactic acid bacteria\u0000(LAB) characteristics of each tempeh. In this study, tempeh was wrapped in a teak leaf,\u0000bamboo leaf, lotus leaf, coconut leaf and plastic. Enumeration of total viable bacteria and\u0000LAB were not significantly different for all variants of the tempeh, except for the lotus\u0000leaf variant, which had a significantly lower number of LAB. The teak and coconut leaf\u0000variant tempeh were acceptable to panellists in the sensory evaluation test. The most\u0000preferred variant was the plastic-wrapped variant which had no significant difference from\u0000commercial tempeh. All LAB from the five types of tempeh were isolated to evaluate their\u0000haemolytic activity and antibiotic resistance. The result showed that all isolates exhibited\u0000negative haemolytic activity (gamma haemolysis). Most isolates (90.8%) were susceptible\u0000to chloramphenicol, while 80.3% of the isolates were resistant to vancomycin.
