Quality characteristics and antioxidant activities of pet dog brownies with Mulukhiyah powder added

This study attempted to confirm the functionality of pet dogs by adding 3% and 6% Mulukhiyah powder, which has excellent antioxidant properties. The quality characteristics of pet dog brownies added with Mulukhiyah powder were analyzed for pH, color, and general component, and antioxidant activity was confirmed for total polyphenols, flavonoids, and DPPH radical scavenging ability. The pH was the highest in the addition of Mulukhiyah at 6%, the chromaticity L values were high in the control, and the “a” and “b” values increased as the Mulukhiyah powder content expanded. The results of the general component analysis showed that the fat and trans-fat content of the Mulukhiyah-added group was lower than that of the control group, and the protein content was slightly increased compared to the control group. It was verified to have the highest contents of polyphenol, flavonoids, and DPPH radical scavenging activity in terms of antioxidant activity, pet dog brownies to which 6% Mulukhiyah powder was added. These results suggest that since the addition of Mulukhiyah powder has been confirmed to be effective in antioxidant activity and general component content, it can be used as a raw material for functional snacks for pet dogs in the future.
