Abstract
Watermelon rind powder WRP is a rich source of dietary fiber and bioactive compounds hence it could be used in the development of functional foods such as cookies Different replacement levels of wheat flour with either WRP or himaize starch HMS 1030 on the quality of the cookies made were studied The dietary fiber content in the cookies increased with incorporation of increasing level of either WRP or HMS Increasing the proportion of the WRP in the cookie making resulted in an increase in the total phenolic content 22diphenyl1picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging activity and the ferric reducing antioxidant power Using up to 20 of WRP and 30 of HMS in the cookie making promotes increase in dietary fiber decrease in predicted glycemic index to medium for WRP and low for HMS levels and improving the antioxidant activity These changes still produce an acceptable cookie
