The effects of adding varying amounts (0%, 1.5%, 3%, 6%, and 12%) of the medium roasted coffee powder on the quality characteristics of rice cookies, which were prepared without wheat flour, were studied. The ingredients were mixed, cut, baked at $170{\sim}180^{\circ}C$ for 10 min, cooled, and packaged in plastic bags. Lightness ($L^*$), yellowness ($b^*$), chroma ($C^*$), and hue angle ($h^{\circ}$) of cookies decreased as the addition amount of the coffee powder increased. Redness ($a^*$) increased with the amount of the coffee powder. Firmness and phenolic compounds tended to increase with the increase in coffee content, however, the firmness levels of the cookies containing 1.5~3% coffee powder were insignificantly different. Antioxidant activity of cookies increased with the increase in the amount of coffee powder. Antioxidant activity of the cookies added with 3% coffee powder was significantly higher than that of the cookies added with 1.5% coffee powder. As a results of the sensory evaluation, the intensity of darkness, smell, bitterness, hardness of the cookies tended to increase with the increase in the amount of coffee powder. The overall acceptability of the cookies was significantly higher for the cookies containing 1.5~3% coffee powder than for the other samples. These results suggested that coffee powder (approximately 3%) can be utilized as an additive for preparing rice cookies which have simultaneously high antioxidant activity and acceptability.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate cookies added with aged black chestnut inner shells powder (ABCI). Cookies were prepared with three different levels (0.25%, 0.5%, or 1%) of ABCI. During storage, moisture content was higher in cookies containing ABCI compared with control cookies. As the amount of ABCI increased, pH of cookies added with ABCI decreased slightly, whereas acidity increased. The lightness and yellowness in the Hunter color system of cookies with ABCI decreased during storage, whereas redness increased during storage. Higher reducing sugar was contained in cookies with ABCI than in the control. Textural properties by texture profile analysis showed that hardness and chewiness decreased with an increase in ABCI amount. Total phenol content increased in cookies with ABCI. Antioxidant activities such as diphenyl picrylhydrazyl radical and hydroxyl radical scavenging activities increased in cookies with ABCI compared with that of the control. It is concluded that cookies with ABCI may be of high quality with antioxidant activity. In the preference test, cookies added with 0.5% ABCI showed the high results in terms of overall preference and buying intention.

In this study, the effects of yacon (Smallanthus sonchifolius) leaf on the quality characteristics of cookies were examined. In order to investigate its effects, four different amounts (0%: Control, Y-0.5, Y-1.0, Y-1.5) of yacon leaf powder were added to the cookie dough. Among the physicochemical and sensory characteristics, the density and pH of the dough, spread factor, color value, firmness, consumer acceptability, and Pearson's correlation coefficients were measured. Although there was no significant difference in pH of the doughs among the groups, density significantly decreased with increasing amount of yacon leaf powder (p<0.05). While the L, a, b values, and hardness decreased significantly, DPPH free radical scavenging activity increased significantly as the content of yacon leaf powder increased (p<0.05). Overall acceptability, appearance, taste, and texture between the control and Y-0.5 groups showed no significant differences. This study suggests the possibility of yacon leaf as an ingredient that increases the functionality of cookies.

This study was conducted to determine the quality properties, phytochemical compounds, and antioxidant activities of cookies prepared by replacing wheat flour with 0%, 2%, 4%, and 6% aronia powder. The moisture content of the cookies decreased as the amount of aronia powder added increased. In contrast, the ash, crude protein, and crude fat content of the cookies did not differ between the control cookie and the cookies prepared with 2-6% aronia powder. The spreadability, leavening rate, loss rate and pH decreased with increasing aronia powder content. Compared to the control cookie, the lightness of the cookies decreased, but the redness and yellowness of the cookies increased as the amount of aronia powder added increased. The total polyphenol content of the cookies increased with increasing aronia powder content. The antioxidant activity of the cookies increased significantly as to the amount of aronia powder added increased compared to that of control cookie. Based on the these results, it is concluded that adding aronia powder to cookies increases antioxidant activity.

Apple and apricot powders (APL-P and APR-P) were produced from apple and apricot fruits and they were used in cookie formulation at the levels of 10-40% (in flour bases). The APL-P and APR-P were rich in terms of total dietary fiber (TDF) and antioxidant power. The APR-P supplemented cookies had higher spread ratio and lower hardness values than the APL-P supplemented ones at all addition levels. The color values of the APR-P supplemented cookies were all acceptable. Overall sensory scores of the cookies supplemented with APL-P and APR-P were not significantly different from the control up to 20% addition. TDF contents of the supplemented cookies increased significantly with increasing addition level (p<0.01). The replacement of flour by APL-P and APR-P in wire-cut cookies showed that the physical characteristics and textural properties of the cookies were significantly affected (p<0.01) and APR-P appeared to be a more suitable replacer of flour than APL-P. Addition of both fruit powders upto 20% into the cookie formulation were evaluated as acceptable in terms of the sensory properties.

This study evaluated the characteristics and antioxidant properties of cookies prepared with different amounts (0%, 1%, 3%, 5%, and 7%) of Lentinus edodes water extract (LEWE). The baking loss rate of cookies increased as the amount of LEWE increased (p<0.05). The pH of cookies significantly decreased when amounts of LEWE increased (p<0.05), but spread factor, leavening rate, and moisture content showed no significant difference among the samples. L value and b value of cookies significantly decreased when amounts of LEWE increased (p<0.05), but a value of cookies significantly increased when amounts of LEWE increased (p<0.05). Hardness was higher in the 7% LEWE cookies. Chewiness and brittleness increased with increasing LEWE concentration, but cohesiveness and springiness showed no significant differences among the samples. Total polyphenol content and DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) radical scavenging activity significantly increased upon the addition of LEWE (p<0.05). In a sensory evaluation, the appearance, color, and taste of the cookies were rated higher in groups containing 0% LEWE, but the flavor, texture, and overall acceptability scores were highest for cookies with 1% LEWE added. These results suggest that cookies prepared by adding 1-3% LEWE achieve the best sensory evaluation and antioxidant activity.

The aim of this study was to propose a mixing proportion by adding Rubus suavissimus powder, and to determine the characteristic of the product. The spread factor and the hardness, moisture contents, and soluble solids content of the cookies significantly increased with an increase in Rubus suavissimus powder, although the pH of the dough, and L values of the cookies decreased when increasing the Rubus suavissimus powder content (p<0.001). Total phenolic contents and DPPH free radical scavenging activity of cookies significantly increased when more Rubus suavissimus powder was added. The antioxidant activity was highly correlated with the total phenolic composition of sweet tea leaf cookies(r=0.976). Additionally, the consumer acceptability scores for the 6% sweet tea leaf cookie groups ranked significantly(p<0.001) higher than those of the other groups in overall preference. In conclusion, the results of this study suggest that Rubus suavissimus powder is a good ingredient for increasing the functionality of cookies.
