  1. Control (100% refined wheat flour), WG-3 (100% refined wheat flour with 3 g galactomannan and stevia extract), WG-6 (100% refined wheat flour with 6 g galactomannan and stevia extract), WB-3 (100% refined wheat flour with 3 g β-glucan and stevia extract) WB-6 (100% refined wheat flour with 6 g β-glucan and stevia extract), WHC (Water Holding Capacity), OHC (Oil Holding Capacity). L* (lightness), a* (redness), b* (yellowness). Values presented as the means of triplicate ± standard deviation. Means within a column with different superscript small letters are significantly different (p ≤ 0.05).
