We investigated quality changes in dumpling shells by addition of various concentrations of dropwort powder. Dumpling shells were added with 0, 1, 3, 5, and 7%. dropwort powder respectively. Their water-binding capacity, weight, volume, and turbidity increased after cooking. As the added dropwort powder increased, their DPPH radical scavenging activity significantly increased (p<0.001). In addition, their L and a values decreased whereas their b value increased. In terms of the textural characteristics, the hardness and springiness increased and the cohesiveness and brittleness of the cooked dumpling shells significantly increased with an increasing content of dropwort powder. The savory taste, moisture, and chewiness of the dumpling shells prepared with the addition of 3% dropwort powder were preferred. Overall, the sensory evaluation showed that the sensory characteristics of the dumpling shells were best with the addition of 3% dropwort powder.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the quality characteristics of cookies prepared with dropwort powder(0, 2, 4, 6, and 8%) for flour. The bulk density of cookie dough of groups with dropwort powder shows significantly differences when compared to the control group. The pH of cookie dough and cookies were decreased by addition of dropwort powder. The moisture content of the groups with dropwort powder was higher than that of the control group. The weight and width of the groups with dropwort powder was lower than those of the control group. The spread ratio of the groups with dropwort powder was lower but the loss rate of cookies was higher than those of the control group. In color, the L, a, and b value was decreased significantly by addition of dropwort powder. The hardness of the groups with 2% and 4% dropwort powder was higher than that of the control group. DPPH radical scavenging activity of the control group was 20.62%, whereas the groups with dropwort powder ranged from 32.11~65.10%. Sensory evaluation scores in terms of appearance, flavor, taste, texture, and overall preference of groups with 2% and 4% of dropwort powder did not show any significantly differences when compared to the control group. Based on the above results, using less than 4% of the dropwort powder would be proper to make cookies.

Characteristics of Cheonggukjang with addition of different dropwort (Oenanthe javanica D.C.) powders were investigated. The selected strain, with proteolytic, amylolytic, and antimicrobial activity, was identified as B. subtilis RS-9, using 16S rRNA analysis. The Cheonggukjang was prepared with cooked soybean without dropwort (Control), 0.5% raw dropwort powder (DW0.5), and 1% raw dropwort powder (DW1), 0.5% steamed dropwort powder (SDW0.5), and 1% steamed dropwort powder (SDW1) were added, respectively. The changes in pH of Cheonggukjangs with addition of dropwort powder were lower than those of control during fermentation for 72 hr at $40^{\circ}C$. The total aerobes of the various Cheonggukjangs reached 8.88 (control), 8.82 (DW0.5), 8.70 (DW1), 8.85 (SDW0.5), and 8.75 (SDW1) log CFU/mL after fermentation for 72 hr at $40^{\circ}C$, respectively. The amino nitrogen and viscous substance contents of different dropwort powders added to Cheonggukangs were lower than those of control. The total polyphenol contents and ABTS radical scavenging ability of various Cheonggukjangs were increased by addition of dropwort powder and fermentation. The polyphenol contents and ABTS radical scavenging ability of SDW1 were $590.24{\mu}g/mL$ and 82.16% and showed the highest value among tested Cheonggukangs. The sensory quality of DW0.5 was higher in taste and overall acceptability, compared with other groups.

We examined the chemical properties of leek and dropwort and prepared the noodles with the dried powder of them, to develope functional processing floods which contain biological active compounds. The groups were divided by the drying methods as follows: hot air drying at 50$\^{C}$ (A), hot air drying after blanching for 30 sec (B), hot air drying after steaming for 2 min (C) and freeze drying (D). We had analyzed the content of vitamin C, total chlorophyll, and phenolic compounds and measured the hunter color values of dried powders individually. The contents of evaluated compounds were higher in A and D than in B and C groups and also the electron donating activity of A and D was stronger than B and C. The cooking properties of noodles prepared with leek and dropwort powder were examined. After cooking, the weight and volume of noodles prepared with powder were lower than those of control The turbidity of noodle soup were increased as the adding ratio was increased. The cutting strength of cooked leek noodles with A and B powder was similar to that of control, in case of dropwort, cooked noodles with D showed similar to that of control. The cutting strength of cooked noodles were decreased as the adding ratio were increased. The electron donating activity of noodles with vegetable powders showed high than that of control The sensory evaluation showed that significant difference between noodles with 2.5 ?/e addition groups and control was not recognized but was recognized between noodles with 5% addition groups and the control.

The quality of fermented dropwort extract (FDE) and fermented dropwort vinegar (FDV) was assessed for free sugar, organic acid and free and total amino acid content. Major organic acids were lactic acid in FDE and acetic acid in FDV. Free sugars in FDE were fructose and glucose, and those in FDV were fructose, sucrose, and maltose. Aspartic acid was the major free amino acid in both FDE and FDV. Additionally, the main free amino acids in FDE were alanine and ${\gamma}$-amino-n-butyric acid (GABA), while those in FDV were arginine and valine. Moreover, to investigate the protective effects of FDE and FDV against oxidative stress induced by t-BHP and $H_2O_2$, C6 cells were treated with FDE or FDV prior to inducing the oxidative damage. FDE and FDV inhibited cell death significantly in a dose-dependent manner. These data imply that FDE and FDV may be effective in neuronal cell protection against oxidative damage.

This study was performed to determine the optimal composition of muffins added with dropwort powder, egg and sugar. The experiment was designed based on BBD (Box-behnken design), and evaluation was carried out by means of RSM (response surface methodology), consisting of 13 experimental points with three replicates each for three independent variables dropwort powder, eggs and sugar. Using F-test, height, moisture, 1,1-diphenyl-2picriylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity, L-value, a-value, springiness, cohesiveness, chewiness, brittleness, color, and appearance acceptability were expressed as a linear model, whereas pH, b-value, flavor, taste, and texture were expressed as a quadratic model. After swallow and overall acceptability were expressed as a 2FI model. As dropwort powder content increased, 1,1-diphenyl-2picriylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity increased. Increasing amounts of dropwort powder led to reduction of sensory scores for color, appearance, flavor, taste, and texture quality. The optimum formulation determined by the numerical and graphical methods were similar: dropwort powder 6 g, egg 77 g, and sugar 60 g.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the practical application and optimum conditions for adding functional dropwort, which is rich in physiological activity to Sulgidduk, toward developing dropwort-added dduk as a healthy food. To this end, samples of Sulgidduk with 0, 1, 3, 5 and 7% added dropwort powder were prepared, stored for 2 days at $20^{\circ}C$, after which the water content, chromaticity, and mechanical and sensory quality characteristics were measured. The results were as follows. The water content of nonglutinous rice powder and dropwort powder used for dropwort-added Sulgidduk was 41.73% and 3.5%, respectively. The water content decreased with increasing amounts of dropwort powder the group with 7% added dropwort powder was 33.88%, the lowest. For chromaticity, the L value decreased with increasing amount of dropwort powder with significant differences between groups with different added amounts (p<0.001). The a and b values increased with increasing amount of dropwort powder while they were 7.21 and 29.22, respectively, in the 7% dropwort powder-added group with significant differences between samples (p<0.001). For mechanical quality characteristics hardness decreased with increasing of amount of dropwort powder with significant differences between samples (p<0.001). There was no difference between samples in cohesiveness and springiness. Gumminess increased with increasing amount of dropwort powder with significant differences between samples (p<0.05). Chewiness and adhesiveness had a tendency to decrease with increasing amounts of dropwort powder. Overall acceptability was in the order of 3%, 5%, 1%, 7%, and 0% dropwort powder-added groups. Overall, for dropwort powder added Sulgidduk, the quality of flavor, color and taste was acceptable, compared to other powder-added groups. The 3% dropwort powder-added group was highly rated in general preference making it most desirable for making dropwort powder-added Sulgidduk.

This study investigated the physicochemical and sensory characteristics of pound cake prepared with various amounts of dropwort powder. According to the results, the specific gravity of batter prepared with dropwort powder was increased, whereas the pH of batter was decreased significantly with the addition of dropwort powder. Furthermore, the weight of the pound cake prepared by adding 8% dropwort powder had the lowest among all samples. The volume and specific loaf volume of pound cakes prepared by adding dropwort powder were higher than those of the control. The baking loss rate of the control was 5.45% and that of pound cakes prepared by adding dropwort powder was 5.08~7.08%. In addition, the moisture content of pound cakes was found to increase with an increased in the amount of dropwort powder, whereas the pH of pound cakes was found to decrease with an increase in the dropwort powder content. The DPPH radical scavenging activity of the control group was 23.58%, whereas that of pound cakes prepared by adding dropwort powder ranged from 38.77~77.60%. However, the L, a and b values were decreased significantly by the addition of dropwort powder. The hardness, springiness, chewiness and brittleness of pound cakes were decreased significantly by the addition of dropwort powder. Overall, the sensory evaluation scores in terms of appearance, flavor, taste, texture and overall preference for pound cakes were conveyed to be higher in 4~6% of substituted sample groups than those of others. Hence, the results of this study suggest that addition of 4~6% dropwort powder is the best substitution ratio for pound cakes.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the seasonal variations in water, protein, lipid, ascorbic acid, and ${\beta}-carotene$ contents of 17 vegetables and 4 fruits that are available all the year round and frequently consumed by Koreans. The water contents of the fruits ranged from 83-89%, and the vegetables contained more water than the fruits. The apples and pears had more water in the spring and summer than in the fall and winter. The tangerines showed a high water content in the winter, whereas the strawberries contained more water in the fall. The vegetables also showed seasonal variations in water content. The protein contents of the fruits were lower than 1%; the cucumbers contained 0.1% protein, which was the lowest level, but spinach, lettuce, bean sprouts, sesame leaves, and mushrooms had more than 1% protein. The ascorbic acid and ${\beta}-carotene$ contents of the apples, pears, and tangerines were higher in the fall and winter than in the spring and summer. The vegetables, in general, contained more ascorbic acid than the fruits. The cabbage and radishes showed higher ascorbic acid contents in the fall and winter than in the spring and summer, indicating that vegetables as well as fruits are more nutritious during their harvest season. The zucchini, spinaches, and green peppers had higher ${\beta}-carotene$ contents in the winter than in the other seasons. The above results show that there were seasonal differences in the ascorbic acid and ${\beta}-carotene$ contents of the fruits and vegetables. In addition, the fruits and vegetables had a tendency to contain more ascorbic acid and ${\beta}-carotene$ in the season they were harvested. Therefore, we recommend the consumption of those fruits and vegetables during their harvest season.
