The objective of this study was to assess the effects of some healthy ingredients on the properties of a ring-shaped bagel/pretzel-type bakery product to offer an alternative product satisfying consumer demand. For this purpose, ground flaxseed, defatted soy flour and corn flour were blended at a weight basis with wheat flour at 5, 10 and 15%. The taste score decreased upon increasing the level of substitution of flaxseed, soy and corn flours. Samples containing 15% of flaxseed were rated poorest in taste. No significant difference was observed in crust color except 15% level of flaxseed. The control sample had highest crust color value. The crispness scores of control and other samples containing 5% corn flour were higher than that of other samples. The samples with 5% flaxseed flour had lower crust L values. Flaxseed, soy and corn flour showed significant effects on the hardness, cohesiveness, springiness, gumminess, fracture force and stiffness values (P < 0.05). Samples with 15% corn flour had the highest hardness value. The results of the present study suggest that flaxseed, soy and corn flours could be added to a typical snack formulation up to levels of 10% with a reasonable acceptance offering promising nutritious and healthy alternative to consumers.
