Rice flour-based cookies are gluten-free products. Cricket powder and isolated soy protein are alternative protein sources which can provide desirable nutrition. Xanthan gum is one of the hydrocolloids affecting the texture of cookies. This study investigated the effect of cricket powder (CP) isolated soy protein (ISP) and xanthan gum on the physical chemical and sensory qualities of rice flour-based cookies. The substitution of rice flour with two protein sources CP (25 and 35%) and ISP (0 25 and 35%) in the cookie formulations which were evaluated for their qualities using a 2x3 factorial arrangement in a completely randomized design. The result showed that when CP increased or ISP decreased the diameter of the product significantly (p≤0.05) increased but the hardness of the product significantly (p≤0.05) decreased. The effect of xanthan gum (0 0.14 0.28 and 0.42%) on the quality of products was also evaluated. It indicated that the increase in xanthan gum content significantly (p≤0.05) increased water activity moisture content and hardness of product while the liking score for hardness and overall liking significantly (p≤0.05) decreased. Therefore the optimal formula of rice flour cookies was 25% CP and 35% ISP for rice flour replacement without xanthan gum.

This research aims to develop the new product from a northern local fermented soy bean which were seasoning powder and furikake-rice seasoning and analyze to observe the nutritional chemical component and antioxidant of the products. The fermented soy bean was dried using hot air oven to achieve a required moisture content prior to apply to the new product. The best ratio of the dried fermented soybean powder was of 35%. The sensory test was used to evaluate the customer acceptance in these developed products. The results showed that the panelist moderately like the products with the overall acceptable score of 7 . 8 5±0 . 3 6 for the seasoning powder and 7 . 4 6±0 . 6 7 and 7 . 4 4±1 . 0 1 for furikake-rice seasoning in sesame-seaweed and garlic flavors respectively. The analysis of the nutritional values (protein fat and antioxidant) of the product were analyzed. The result showed that the seasoning powder has the highest values of nutritional values which were 43.80% 19.24% and 3.72 μmol TE/g for protein fat and antioxidant respectively. The furikake-rice seasoning sesame-seaweed have the values of protein fat and antioxidant of 2 9 . 9 0 %9.72% and 1.79 μmol TE/g respectively. The garlic flavor has the values of protein fat and antioxidant of 31.70% 20.51% 1.96 μmol TE/g respectively. The developed product would be continuously produced in a commercial product for the local community since the fermented soybean products have high amount of nutrition especially the protein content.
