Wheat grass powder contains various antioxidant compounds and has excellent antioxidant activity. Wheat grass powder was added at 0, 2.5, 5.0, and 7.5% levels by replacing wheat flour to make muffins namely control, WG2.5, WG5.0, and WG7.5. The viscosity in the muffin batter, hardness, chewiness, protein, total dietary fiber, ash, and total phenolic content of baked muffins increased with increasing wheat grass powder levels. The volume, cohesiveness, springiness, and color (L, a, b values) of samples showed a reverse trend. Sensory testing of WG7.5 showed lower acceptability while WG5.0 had the maximum score (8.4) as compared to other levels.
