Abstract
Wheat germ is a good source of protein, minerals, vitamins, phytochemicals and dietary fibre. In this study, coarse wheat germ (CWG) and fine wheat germ (FWG) were used in the formulations of leavened flat bread (bazlama) and unleavened flat bread (yufka) at three different ratios (10, 20 and 30%). Some physical, chemical and sensory properties of both flat breads were determined. Surface colour of flat breads containing CWG/FWG became darker, more reddish and yellowish compared to control breads. The ash, protein and fat content of flat breads improved with increasing amount of CWG/FWG in flat bread formulation. A significant (P<0.05) increase was also obtained in Fe, K, P and Zn contents of the flat breads in all usage levels of CWG/FWG. As a result of sensory evaluation, leavened flat breads containing CWG had higher overall acceptability scores than leavened flat breads prepared with FWG. CWG usage over 20% level in leavened flat bread and over 10% level in unleavened flat bread caused a decrement in overall acceptability scores of flat breads.
