The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of Curcuma aromatica powder on the functional and sensory characteristics of Mandupi. Various Mandupi samples were prepared with wheat flour along with addition of various amounts of Curcuma aromatica powder, after which instrumental characteristics and sensory evaluations were investigated. According to the amylograph data, the composite Curcuma aromatica powder-wheat flour samples showed increased gelatinization temperatures with increasing Curcuma aromatica powder content, whereas initial viscosity at $95^{\circ}C$, viscosity at $95^{\circ}C$ after 15 minutes, and maximum viscosity were reduced. In terms of Hunter's color values, L value decreased while a and b values increased with increasing Curcuma aromatica powder content. Besides cooked weight, cooked volume and turbidity of Mandupi increased as the addition level of Curcuma aromatica powder increased. In terms of textural characteristics, addition of Curcuma aromatica powder increased springiness, chewiness, and brittleness, whereas springiness and adhesiveness decreased. Based on sensory evaluations, the overall preference of Mandupi with 3% added Curcuma aromatica powder was higher than that of control.

This study was conducted to promote the utilization of fish paste with 0, 2, 3, and 4% added Curcuma aromatica powder. The moisture, crude protein, crude lipid, and crude ash contents of the used Curcuma aromatica powder were 11.15, 6.25, 2.36, and 9.98%, respectively. For the Hunter color values, the L, a values of the fish paste decreased with increasing concentrations of Curcuma aromatica powder, while the b values appreciated. In the folding test, whose results reveal the flexibility of the fish paste, all the test samples showed AA results. In the texture meter test, the hardness, cohesiveness, and springiness increased with increasing concentrations of Curcuma aromatica powder, but the gumminess and brittleness of the fish paste were reduced. In the sensory evaluation, the color and taste of the fish paste with 3% added Curcuma aromatica powder were preferred over those of the other fish pastes. These results suggest that Curcuma aromatica powder can be applied to fish paste to achieve high quality and functionality.

The aim of this study was to determine quality characteristics of the curry sauce fortified using Curcuma aromatica Salisb. powder with and without fermentation. Here, the sensory, physicochemical, and antioxidant activity characteristics of the fortified curry sauces were measured. The L, b values of the samples containing the fermented C. aromatica Salisb. were significantly higher than those of the control (p<0.05). The total phenol content of the experimental groups was significantly higher than that of the control (p<0.05). There were no significant differences between the control and the sample fortified with fermented C. aromatica Salisb. (FC1) in the acceptance attributes of curry, spiciness and bitterness. Furthermore, the overall acceptance was similar enough to show no differences between the control and FC1. Thus, we can conclude that the curry sauce fortified using the fermented C. aromatica Salisb. by 1% was successfully developed in the competitive HMR market to promote antioxidant activity without decreasing the sensory characteristics.
