In this study, domestic wheat white breads were prepared with the substitution of 1.5, 3.0, 4.5, and 6.0% Nelumbo nucifera G. tea powder(NNTP). The samples and a control were then compared with regard to quality characteristics, including pH, total titratable acidity, fermentation power of dough expansion, specific volume, baking loss, moisture content, color, textural characteristics, external and internal surface appearances, and sensory qualities in order to determine the optimal ratio of NNTP in the formulation. As the NNTP contents increased, the pH of dough and bread, baking loss, and lightness decreased, whereas the total titratable acidity of dough and bread increased. The fermentation power of dough expansion increased with increasing incubation time. The NNTP samples evidenced significantly higher specific volume, greenness, yellowness, resilience, and crumb consistency than were observed in the control group. However, hardness and fracturability evidenced the opposite effect. The water content and uniformity of the crumb pores were highest at a substitution level of 1.5%, and were lowest at a level of 4.5%. Crumb color, flavor, and delicious taste decreased with increasing NNTP contents, whereas lotus leaf flavor, astringency, bitterness, and off-flavor increased. Density of the crumb pore and crumb springiness were not significantly different among the samples. Softness, chewiness, and overall acceptability were maximal with the 1.5% substitution, and were minimal in the 6.0% group. In conclusion, our results demonstrate that $1.5{\sim}3.0%$ NNTP may prove quite useful as a substitute for domestic wheat flour in the production of white bread, and may evidence favorable nutritional and functional properties.
