The purpose of this study was to investigate the quality characteristics and antioxidative effect of cookies prepared with Curcuma longa L. powder (0, 1, 2, 3, 4%) substituted for flour. The pH of cookie dough decreased significantly in response to the addition of all levels of Curcuma longa L. powder (CLP). However, there were no significant differences in dough values among the test groups. Furthermore, when the spread factor values were compared among the groups, they were found to be inversely proportional to the CLP concentration. In addition, Hunter's color L value significantly decreased with increasing CLP content, whereas the a and b values increased. According to textural measurements, substitution of 1~4% for CLP resulted in increased hardness, cohesiveness, springiness, and brittleness when the samples were compared to the control. The results of sensory evaluation showed that the cookies containing 2% CLP had the highest scores. The acid value, peroxide value, and thiobarbituric acid value were all lower in cookies with 2% and 3% CLP than in cookies made with 4% CLP and control cookies.

This study was performed to examine the functional and quality characteristics of rice cookies with added Ligularia fischeri (Ledeb.) Turcz. powder. Rice cookies were prepared with different amounts (0%, 0.5%, 1%, 1.5% and 2% to the flour quantity) of Ligularia fischeri powder. The antioxidant activities of Ligularia fischeri powder, specifically the total phenolic content, DPPH free radical scavenging activity and reducing power were found to be 212.19 mg GAE/g, $11.78{\mu}g/mL$11.78 ($IC_{50}$), and 2.33 (O.D.), respectively. The antioxidant activities of the rice cookies with added Ligularia fischeri powder increased with increasing concentrations of Ligularia fischeri powder. Regarding the hunter's color value of rice cookies with added Ligularia fischeri powder, L (lightness) and a (redness) values decreased (p<0.001) with increasing concentrations of Ligularia fischeri powder, whereas b (yellowness) values increased (p<0.01). The consumer acceptability score for the 3% Ligularia fischeri rice cookie groups ranked significantly (p<0.001) higher than the other groups in color, flavor, taste, texture and overall preference. These results suggest that Ligularia fischeri powder will be useful as a functional food resource with antioxidant activities.

This study investigated the quality characteristics of cookies containing capsaicin, the main source of spicy taste in pepper, which is well known for its various functions such as anti-oxidant, anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, and anti-obesity activities, as well as pain-relief effect. Cookie samples were made by adding the capsaicin powder at different levels, including 40 mg% (C1), 85 mg% (C2), and 150 mg% (C3). In this study, measurement of the moisture, pH, color, spread factor, hardness, anti-oxidant activity, and sensory evaluation of the cookies was carried out. The results showed that the anti-oxidant activity increased when more capsaicin powder was added to the cookies (p<0.001). The moisture also increased with increasing capsaicin powder content (p<0.05), while the pH did not show any significant changes. As for the colors, the L value and b value decreased as more capsaicin powder was added, while the a value increased. The spread factor also increased significantly with the increase of capsaicin powder (p<0.01). Although the hardness increased with capsaicin powder content, no statistically significant differences were observed among the various cookies. In the sensory evaluation, Cookies containing 40 mg of capsaicin obtained the highest score in color, while cookies containing 150 mg of capsaicin showed the highest score in taste, texture, and overall acceptability.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the quality characteristics of choco-chip when using the baking soda. Medium flours are more commonly used for choco-chip cookies than cake flours due to the higher pH levels. The L and b values of the flours decreased but the redness colors were increased with the increased percentage of baking sodas. The hardness, brittleness and gumminess of cake flours and increased baking sodas were lower than the medium flours. Micrographs of the choco-chip cookies showed that the baking sodas with the medium flours had better tendency to melt the proteins than cake flours. Sensory characteristics suggested that the additional 2% of baking soda generated good appearance, flavor, color, texture and over all acceptance. According to the results, we gained knowledge on the effects of adding baking soda to the quality of cookies. And, the most recommended percentages of baking sodas base as suggested by bakers are 2%.

The goal of this study is to show that the investigate is preference of beetroot cookie is preferred by consumers and can help to replace calcium, which is depleted because of the stress. As the amount of beetroot powder is increased, pH value, spread factors, loss and leaving rates, and texture properties of cookies were decreased. As a result of the measuring of colorimetric characteristics, the values of "L", "a", "b" were all decreased as the amount of beetroot powder was increased. The cookies containing 30% of beetroot powder was estimated as the most suitable to eat because of the flavor, color, and taste of the beetroot. But cookies having 20% of beetroot powder were estimated as the best to eat because of the texture, sticking power, hardness, and general preference. According to the results, the cookies containing 20% of beetroot powder were selected as the most suitable cookies to eat.
