The principal objective of this study was to compare and analyze the qualitative characteristics of mulberry leaf tea (MLT) and fermented mulberry leaf tea (FMLT). The concentrations of polyphenols were approximate in FMLT and MLT, with measurements of 4,022.82 mg/100 g and 3,932.32 mg/100 g, respectively. These polyphenol concentrations were relatively high and were approximate to the contents in green tea and yellow tea. Moreover, both MLT and FMLT contained small amount of vitamin C. The concentrations of caffeine were also relatively low for both MLT and FMLT, with values of 5.68 mg/100 g and 21.11 mg/100 g, respectively. When the quality of the MLT and FMLT was evaluated, we noted only minimal difference in color a (redness) values between each material; however, the b (yellowness) and the L (lightness) values were higher in the MLT than in the FMLT. When sensory tests were conducted, both materials were judged to have a bitter taste, and FMLT has a synthetic and pleasant taste.

This study evaluated the physicochemical and sensory characteristics of cookies containing various concentrations (0, 3, 6, and 9%) of cherry powder (obtained from ground fruit of Prunus serrulata L. var. spontanea Max. wils.). The pH of dough decreased with the addition of cherry powder, whereas the density of dough increased. The spread factor of control samples also evidenced significantly higher values than the other samples. The results of a hardness assessment demonstrated that the addition of cherry powder exerted a significant effect on cookie hardness. Lightness (L) and yellowness (b) of cookie color decreased as the concentration of cherry powder increased, whereas the redness (a) increased. The antioxidative activity measured by DPPH radical scavenging activity of cookie increased as the concentration of cherry powder increased. The cookies containing the 3 and 6% cherry powder had acceptable sensory properties, such as color, smell, taste, hardness, crispness, and overall acceptability. The results exhibited that adding the cherry powder into the cookie increased antioxidant activity, and the highest quality improvement was obtained by incorporating the 3 and 6% of cherry powder into the cookie formula.

The effect of Pakchoi addition on the quality characteristics of sponge cake was investigated. Pakchoi sponge cake was prepared with different ratios of Pakchoi powder (0, 3, 6, and 9%). The specific gravities of the batter with Pakchoi powder were higher than control. pH of the batter ranged from 7.43 to 7.74, and the values were lower than control. The specific volumes of sponge cake were gradually decreased by the increasing additions of Pakchoi powder. Crumb color values of lightness (L) and redness (a) decreased by the addition of Pakchoi powder, while yellowness (b) value was increased. In texture analysis, hardness, gumminess and brittleness of sponge cake were increased by the level of Pakchoi powder, but there was no significant differences with control and 3% Pakchoi sponge cake. In the sensory evaluation, 3% Pakchoi sponge cake was better on taste, texture and overall acceptability, while 6%, Pakchoi sponge cake was better on color and flavor. Consequently sponge cake quality with 3% Pakchoi powder was considered the best.

The study investigated on quality characteristics of pan breads prepared with 0, 1, 3 and 5% flowering cherry (Prunus serrulata L. var. spontanea Max. wils.) fruit powder. The pH of dough and bread decreased with the addition of flowering cherry fruit powder, whereas the weight of bread increased. The volume, specific volume and baking loss rate of the breads decreased as flowering cherry fruit powder levels increased. The volume of dough during fermentation of bread containing flowering fruit cherry powder was smaller than those of the dough without flowering cherry fruit powder. Lightness (L) and yellowness (b) of breads crumb and crust color were decreased as the concentration of flowering cherry fruit powder increased; however, the redness (a) was increased. In the texture analyzer measurement, hardness and chewiness of the breads were significantly increased by adding the powder but cohesiveness was decreased. There was no significant difference in springiness. The antioxidative activity measured by DPPH radical scavenging activity of bread increased as the concentration of flowering cherry fruit powder increased. The bread containing 3% flowering cherry fruit powder has acceptable sensory properties. such as color, smell, taste, chewiness, texture and overall acceptability. The results exhibited that adding the flowering cherry fruit powder into the bread increased antioxidant activity, and the highest quality improvement was obtained by incorporating 3% flowering cherry fruit powder into the bread formula.

Functional bread was manufactured with single cell detritus (SCD) of sea tangle. The optimum ingredient formula for SCD bread was determined based on mixture model. Flour and water reduced max weight, strength, hardness and specific loaf volume, whereas the increased SCD reversed the volume change of dough. Flour increased $L^*$ and $b^*$ values of SCD bread, while SCD decreased. Flour and water decreased $a^*$ value, while SCD increased. Max weight, strength, hardness, specific loaf volume, $b^*$ value and water holding capacity (WHC) were linear model on ANOVA table, whereas distance, volume change of dough, $L^*$ and $a^*$ values were nonlinear model. The response constraint coefficient showed that SCD influenced texture of SCD bread more than flour and water did, whereas water influenced the volume change of dough, specific loaf volume and WHC more than flour and SCD did. Moreover, flour influenced color value more than did water and SCD. Distance and $a^*$ value fitted nonlinear model with interaction terms for flour-SCD and water-SCD. Optimum ingredient formula for SCD bread was: flour, 48.25%; water, 30.89%; SCD, 3.86%. Sensory evaluation of SCD bread was a little lower than industrial bread and electrolyzed SCD bread.

This study was performed to minimize quality degradation of concentrated strawberry puree after $90^{\circ}C$ for 5 min by heat treatment with citric acid (CA) and acidic sodium metaphosphate (ASM) as pH modifiers. The highest color value was 1% CA+1% ASM (13.027), followed by 1% CA (9.539) and control (6.905). Anthocyanin contents were also 1% CA+1% ASM (3.049 mg/100 g), 1% CA (1.140 mg/100 g), and control (0.757 mg/100 g) in sequence. The DPPH radical scavenging activities of control, 1% CA, and 1% CA+1% ASM were 58.148, 72.638, and 83.736%, respectively. The color values, anthocyanin contents, and DPPH radical scavenging activities were significantly different at P<0.05 between control and 1% CA+1% ASM treatment. For the results of overall preference for hedonic test, there was no significant difference at P>0.05 among the three samples. During heat treatment, quality degradation of concentrated strawberry puree was reduced by 1% CA+1% ASM treatment, which is expected for new acidulants.

Quality characteristics of white bread added with lotus root powder(3, 6%) were investigated. Moisture content of white bread added with lotus root powder were higher than control. As the amount of added lotus root powder increased, the lightness, redness and yellowness of bread crust as well as the volume of the bread decreased, but the redness and yellowness of the crumb increased slightly. The content of free amino acids increased by the addition of lotus root powder and the major ones were L-glutamic acid, L-alanine, L-valine and threonine. The major flavor components were 2-methyl butanal and 3-methyl butanal, which were formed by the amino-carbonyl reaction in baking bread at high temperature. Aldehyde flavor components such as 2-ethylfuran, 2-butanedione and 3-butanedione were formed by yeast fermentation. Ethyl acetate and vinyl acetate also influenced the flavor of the bread. The addition of lotus root powder increased the hardness and fracturability, and decreased the gumminess, chewiness and cohesivenes of the bread. Sensory evaluation of white bread indicated that the addition of 3%, 6% lotus root bread enhanced the grain formation, color, mouth feeling, appearance, hardness, moistness, flavor and overall acceptability. Overall, the addition of 6% lotus root powder showed the best performance in the nutritional and functional aspects of the bread.

The Physical and sensory characteristics of muffins prepared with flavonoids such as ferulic acid and p-hydroxybenzoic acid were evaluated for the development of functional foods using these flavonoids. The solubilities of ferulic acid and p-hydroxybenzoic acid were over 1% in water and the solutions showed a good thermal stability. However, 1% ferulic acid and p-hydroxybenzoic acid solution showed a color change during heating. The volume and maximum height of the control muffin were the greatest among the muffin groups. The volume of the muffins decreased with the increase of flavonoid concentration. The volumes of muffins with p-hydroxybenzoic acid were smaller than those of muffins with ferulic acid. The L, a and b values on crust and crumb of the muffin groups were not significantly different. The chemical flavor, bitterness and after taste of the muffins prepared with ferulic acid were stronger than those of the control muffins. Savory flavor and sweetness of the muffins with ferulic acid were weaker than those of the control muffins. The muffins with p-hydroxybenzoic acid were not significantly different from the control muffins in the appearance, flavor, taste, texture and overall acceptability. These results demonstrated that p-hydroxybenzoic acid may be useful as an additive to muffin.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the quality characteristics of turmeric powder Dasik, a Korean traditional cookie, prepared by different additions of turmeric powder(0%, 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%). The result of the study is as follows. As the level of turmeric powder in the formulation increased, the moisture contents of the samples increased. As the content of the turmeric powder increased, the L-values of the turmeric powder Dasik significantly decreased, and the a- and b-values also significantly increased. Also, the hardness, gumminess, springiness, cohesiveness and chewiness of the turmeric powder Dasik increased, whereas its adhesiveness decreased as the amount of turmeric powder increased. The sensory evaluation results showed that the 2% turmeric powder sample showed the highest preference scores; therefore, the 2% turmeric powder Dasik prepared with 98g of flour, 2g of turmeric powder, and 80g of honey was chosen as the most preferred product. It is expected that the development of Dasik added with functional food such as turmeric powder can influence the use of turmeric and increase the consumption of Korean traditional cookies.

The purpose of this study was to examine the qualities of muffins made with 0.1, 0.5, and 1% of Ecklonia cava hot water extracts (WEC). The muffins containing 0.1, 0.5, and 1% of WEC were acceptable by sensory evaluation such as color, flavor, taste, texture, and overall acceptability. The moisture contents of muffins made with WEC were not significantly different from muffins not containing WEC (control) during the early storage period (p<0.05), whereas after 3 days of storage, the moisture contents of muffins made with WEC were higher than that of control. The total microbial count in muffins made with 1% of WEC decreased as compared to that of control with an increase in storing time. The antioxidative activities, DPPH radical scavenging and superoxide dismutase-like activity of muffins increased with an increase in the concentrations of WEC. These results suggest that the addition of WEC to muffins has a good effect on improving the shelf-life and overall quality.
