This study evaluated the quality characteristics and antioxidant activities of cookies after adding black ginseng powder at ratios of 0%, 1%, 3%, 5%, and 7%, and the potential of black ginseng as a functional food. The moisture content increased with an increase in the black ginseng powder content while the pH decreased. The L value decreased with increase in the black ginseng powder content while the a and b values increased. The hardness decreased with increase in the black ginseng powder content. Notably, antioxidant activities, such as 2,2-diphenyl-1-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH), 2-2'-azinobis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid)diammonium salt (ABTS) radical scavenging showed the highest increases in cookies containing 7% black ginseng powder. The total phenol and flavonoid contents significantly increased according to the amount of black ginseng powder added. These results suggest that black ginseng powder can be applied to cookies to achieve high quality and antioxidant activity.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of adding gochujang addition to cookie dough on the quality characteristics of cookies. Cookies were prepared by replacing 0% 5%, 10%, 15% and 20% flour with gochujang. The gochujang pH, total soluble solid and salinity were $4.84{\pm}0.02$, $63.33{\pm}4.19%$ and $7.63{\pm}009%$, respectively. The moisture content in gochujang was $40.10{\pm}0.10%$, and the color values of gochujang was were as L-value $24.46{\pm}0.06$, a-value $10.18{\pm}0.13$, and b-value $7.44{\pm}0.10$. The pH values of cookies decreased according to the addition of gochujang. The values of density and loss rate in cookies were not-significantly different among the samples. Spread factor and moisture content of cookies increased with amounts of added gochujang. The salinity and total soluble solid content of cookies with gochujang were significantly higher than those of the control. L-value was significantly reduced, and a-value and b-value increased by adding gochujang. Total phenolic content and DPPH free radical scavenging activities were increased according to the amount of gochujang. For sensory evaluation, gochujang added cookies were more preferred in terms of color, softness and overall preference. Overall, these results indicate that adding 10% gochujang is desirable for making gochujang cookies.

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of Nelumbo nucifera G. (NN) powder on cookie quality characteristics. The cookies were made with various NN powder levels (1, 3, and 5%). Crude fiber, crude ash, and the Mg contents of cookies with added NN powder were higher in concentration than those of the control group. Salinity of NN-powder added groups was not significantly different when it was compared with the control group's salinity. No significant difference among the groups were observed for specific volume, but the width determined by water content in the dough decreased as the amount of added NN powder increased. The L-value of the cookies was significantly larger than that of the control group. The a- and b-values were the highest for the 5% substituted NN flour. According to the sensory evaluation of the cookies, scores for color, flavor, and texture increased with increasing amounts of added NN powder. The overall acceptance of the 3% NN added cookies was greater than that of the 1 and 5% cookies.

Hovenia dulcis fruit powder (HFP) has shown diverse functional activities; thus, it is rational to incorporate HFP into suitable food products with enhanced nutritional and functional quality, and their incorporation into bakery products such as cookies could be a good alternative for the increase of consumption. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of HFP addition on the quality characteristics of cookies. The pH of cookie doughs ranged from 5.80-6.34, with no remarkable differences by HFP addition. Density of cookie doughs significantly decreased upon addition of HFP (p<0.05), but there were no significant differences among samples added with HFP (p>0.05). Moisture content and spread factor of cookies significantly increased with higher content of HFP in the formulation (p<0.05). For color values of cookie surface, $L^*$ and $b^*-values$ decreased while $a^*-value$ increased as a result of HFP substitution (p<0.05). 2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2'-azino-bis-3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulphonic acid (ABTS) radical scavenging activities were significantly increased (p<0.05) with higher substitution of HFP, showing a positive correlation. Hedonic sensory results indicated that cookies supplemented with 4% HFP received the most favorable acceptance scores for sensory attributes. Overall, HFP-added cookies could be developed with improved physicochemical qualities without sacrificing consumer acceptability.

We investigated the feasibility of incorporating Aster yomena powder into cookies as a value-added food ingredient. In this study, we assessed the quality characteristics and antioxidant activity of cookies containing various concentrations (0, 3, 5, 7 and 9%) of Aster yomena powder(AYP). For the analysis, quality characteristics such as density and pH of dough, spread factor, moisture content, color(L, a, b), hardness, DPPH radical scavenging activity and sensory properties were measured. The Hardness and DPPH radical scavenging activity of the cookies significantly increased with increasing concentrations of AYP, whereas pH and density of the dough, L value of the cookies significantly decreased. The results of sensory properties showed that cookies made with 3% and 5% AYP did not differ significantly from the control in color, taste, and overall quality. Texture scores for the 3% and 5% AYP groups ranked significantly higher than those of the other groups. Taken together, the results of this study suggest that AYP is a beneficial ingredient for increasing the consumer acceptability and functionality of cookies. The quality characteristics of the 3% and 5% added samples exhibited significantly similar or higher values as compared to those of the controls, raising the possibility of developments in health-functional cookies. The results of the sensory evaluation produced very significant values for color, appearance, texture, and overall quality of instrumental analysis.

Sugar snap cookies were prepared with the addition of carrot powder (2~12%) as a source of dietary fiber. Analyses of physiochemical properties, rheology and sensory evaluation of the cookies were conducted. Increasing carrot powder content weakened the flour, as evidenced by decreased diameter and increased thickness, which resulted in decreased spread factor. The water content of the carrot powder-amended cookies and unamended flour was not significantly different. The pH and L values progressively decreased and a and b values progressively increased with increasing addition of carrot powder. Textural analysis revealed no significant differences in brittleness with carrot powder addition, even though brittleness did decrease with the addition of more carrot powder. Sensory evaluation revealed a preference for cookies prepared with 2~4% carrot powder, with decreased preference at powder concentrations exceeding 6%. Addition of a dried vegetable with high fiber content caused the dietary fiber to absorb much water content, resulting in decreased diameter, increased thickness and decreased spread factor. Therefore, it is deemed desirable to increase the spread factor by controlling the water content and adding emulsifiers so as to enhance the functionality and maintain the quality of cookies.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the quality of sugar-snap cookies containing various types and mixture ratios of sugar. The characteristics of sugar-snap cookies prepared with fructose, high-fructose corn syrup and invert sugar were examined through physical properties measurement and sensory evaluation. Results of the investigation suggest significant differences in the cookies made with various sugars. High-fructose corn syrup was better than others for making sugar-snap cookies. The quality of cookies baked with high-fructose corn syrup was improved compared to cookies baked with invert sugar or fructose. Varying the formula, with high-fructose corn syrup had little or no effect on the quality of the final product. Using different quantities of invert sugar and high-fructose corn syrup significantly affected the physical properties of the cookies. Sugar-snap cookies containing invert sugar had an extremely positive effect.

The principal objective of this study was to assess the quality characteristics of cookies prepared with oddi powder (0, 1, 3, 5, 7%). The highest dough density value was 1.49, which was also observed in the 7% added group. The pH of the cookie dough was significantly reduced in at all oddi powder groups as compared to the controls. The spread factor of the cookies evidenced an inverse relationship with the concentration of oddi powder as compared to the controls (7.52). Hunter's color L, a, and b values in the cookies were reduced with increases in the level of added oddi powder. Hardness decreased, but chewiness increased, with increasing oddi concentrations as compared to the controls. In the sensory evaluation, the color of the cookies increased in a dose-dependent fashion with increasing concentrations of oddi powder. The taste scores were higher with a 3% addition of oddi powder. The cookies with $3{\sim}5%$ of the flour substituted for oddi powder scored highest on scores in appearance, flavor, taste, texture, and overall acceptability.

This study was conducted to find out the bakery processing suitability of maca and to develop rice-based processed foods. We investigated the antioxidant activity and physicochemical properties of rice cookies prepared with the addition of maca (Lepidium meyenii) powder (1%, 2%, 3%, and 4% of the total materials). We observed an increase in the total polyphenol and flavonoid content, and DPPH-ABTS⁺ radical scavenging activity of the rice cookies as the proportion of added maca powder increased (p<0.05). The quality characteristics such as the "a" value, "b" value, and the hardness of the cookies increased with an increase in the proportion of maca powder (p<0.05) in the cookie, whereas the moisture content, pH of the dough, spread ratio, loss rate, leavening rate, and "L" values showed a significant decrease (p<0.05). In the sensory evaluation results, consumer acceptability showed a significantly higher value in the 2% maca cookie group (p<0.05), and the characteristic intensity rating (color, flavor, bitterness) increased as the proportion of maca added to the cookie increased (p<0.05). Therefore, this suggests that adding 2% maca powder as the functional ingredient in rice cookies can result in rice bakery products with excellent qualities.
