This study sought to develop a healthier type of jeungpyeon, or Korean rice cake, by adding Korean black raspberry powder (Rubus coreanus). The moisture content, color, volume, symmetry, uniformity, texture, and sensory quality characteristics were evaluated in order to determine the optimal amount of raspberry powder to add to rice flour in order to get the best-tasting, healthiest food. We substituted 0.5%, 1.0%, 1.5% and 2.0% of rice flour with Rubus coreanus powder and mixed 3%, 6%, 9% and 12% Rubus coreanus concentrate with water to make dough. The result was stored for up to 48 hours at $20^{\circ}C$, and then evaluated. Jeungpyun with Rubus coreanus powder and Rubus coreanus concentrate had the right flavor, color, fermentation, and taste, compared to the other groups. Consequently, in overall acceptability, the highly rated Rubus coreanus powder-PW(1.5%) and Rubus coreanus concentrate - BA (6%) will be the most desirable.

The purpose of this study was to determine the desirable mixture ratio of Rubus coreanus Miquel leaf powder to rice flour for the preparation of sulgidduk. The moisture of samples raged from 41.92% to 38.21%. The addition of Rubus coreanus Miquel leaf powder in the Sulgidduk tended to decrease the lightness (L) in Hunter color value, but to increase the redness (a) and yellowness (b). With increasing Rubus coreanus Miquel leaf powder level, the hardness of the samples decreased and their springiness, cohesiveness and chewiness increased. In sensory evaluation, the addition of 5% Rubus coreanus Miquel leaf powder showed the best score in taste and overall preference. Therefore, these results suggested that the addition of 5% Rubus coreanus Miquel leaf powder could be applied for making Rubus coreanus Miquel leaf powder sulgidduk.

The purpose of this study was to find the optimal mixing condition of Rubus coreanus extracts, Rubus coreanus powder, and Rubus coreanus flavor for preparation of the Bokbunja chocolate. The physico-chemical characteristics of the Bokbunja chocolate were analyzed and evaluated. The sugar concentration of the Bokbunja chocolate had a tendency to increase as the addition of Rubus coreanus extracts decreased, but there was no significant differences. The hardness was increased with the decreasing Rubus coreanus extracts and increasing Rubus coreanus powder. The L (lightness) value increased with increasing Rubus coreanus extracts and decreasing Rubus coreanus powder, whereas a (redness) and b (yellowness) values increased by Rubus coreanus powder addition. The optimum mixing condition for the Bokbunja chocolate was decided by sensory evaluation. According to the results of sensory flavor, color, sweetness, texture and overall acceptability, the Bokbunja chocolate which was added Rubus coreanus extracts 30 g, Rubus coreanus powder 5 g, Rubus coreanus flavor 0.3 g obtained the best score overall.

To develop new type of sponge cake, the effects of partial (0~40%) replacement with Rubus coreanus powder (RCP) on the quality characteristics of sponge cakes were investigated. The pH level and moisture content ranged from 4.05~8.23 and 28.49~36.59, respectively, and significantly decreased upon addition of RCP (P<0.05). Baking loss rate and cake firmness significantly increased with higher RCP content in the formulation, whereas morphological characteristics of cakes such as height, volume, and symmetry indices significantly decreased (P<0.05). For crumb color values, $L^*$-and $b^*$-values significantly decreased while $a^*$-value significantly increased as a result of RCP substitution (P<0.05). Hedonic sensory results indicated that sponge cakes supplemented with 30~40% RCP showed the most favorable acceptance scores for most of the sensory attributes evaluated. Overall, Rubus coreanus sponge cake could be developed with comparable physicochemical qualities without sacrificing consumer acceptability.

Rubus coreanus Miquel (bokbunja), Korean black raspberry, is known to possess various phytochemicals that exert antioxidative, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancer effects. However, most studies on Rubus coreanus Miquel have been performed with the solvent extracts and/or a single component to demonstrate the efficacy, while studies evaluating the effect of the whole fructus of Rubus coreanus Miquel are limited. In this study, therefore, we employed the isoproterenol (IPN)-induced myocardial infarction model and investigated the effect of freeze-dried powder of Rubus coreanus Miquel (RCP) on oxidative stress and prevention of organ damage. Oral administration of RCP reduced the level of toxicity markers, alanine transaminase (ALT), aspartate transaminase (AST), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) without affecting body weight and diet intake. The oxidative stress marker glutathione (GSH) increased about 45% and malonaldehyde (MDA) decreased about 27% compared to the IPN group with RCP-H (3%) administration. By histological analysis, IPN induced significant myocardial damage in the heart and vascular injury in the liver, and RCP administration ameliorated the damages in a dose-dependent manner. Taken together, RCP activated the antioxidant system leading to prevention of damage to organs by IPN in rats, making it possible to expect beneficial efficacies by consuming the whole fructus of Rubus coreanus Miquel.

To develop a healthy functional food containing Rubus coreanus fruit (RCF) powder with different degrees of ripening, the composition, physicochemical properties, and antioxidant activity of native RCF during ripening were investigated and compared with Rubus occidentalis fruit (ROF). Ripened RCF was bright red in color, whereas ripened ROF was dull and dark red in color. The seeds of RCF were softer and smaller than those of ROF. Crude protein, crude lipid, and total sugar content of RCF powder increased with increased ripening time, whereas ash and total dietary fiber contents decreased with increased ripening time. Color differences increased with Increased ripening. Eighteen types of amino acids were analyzed from RCF, and glutamic acid had the highest content. RCF powder had the highest level of potassium and calcium and did not contain any hazardous metals. Mineral and organic acid contents decreased according to ripening.

This study was performed to investigate the quality characteristics of lotus root tea (LT) prepared with Gardenia jasminoides powder (GLT) and Rubus coreanus Miquel powder (RLT). The proximate compositions, physicochemical properties, mineral contents, and sensory evaluations of samples were measured. GLT sample showed higher contents of crude protein, crude fat, crude ash, and moisture (p<0.001) as well as pH (p<0.001) compared to LT and RLT. In terms of color, lightness (L) and yellowness (b) of GLT were the highest among the samples, whereas redness (a) of GLT was the lowest. The results of mineral analysis showed that the mineral contents of K, Ca, and Fe of LT were the highest, whereas the content of Mg of GLT was the highest. The results of browning color intensity of all samples showed that LT had the lowest. GLT showed higher contents of water soluble solids than LT and RLT. In the sensory evaluation, the scores of color, flavor, aftertaste, feeling of throat, and overall preference of LT and GLT were significantly higher than those of RLT. From the findings, this study suggests that addition of Gardenia jasminoides powder was effective for preparation of lotus root tea in the aspects of consumer acceptability.

This study disclosed the aqueous fruits extract of Rubus coreanus as a sustainable agent for the synthesis of Rubus coreanus zinc oxide nanoparticle (Rc-ZnO Nps) using as a reducing and capping precursor for co-precipitation method. The development of Rc-ZnO was assured by white precipitated powder and analyzed by spectroscopic and analytical instruments. The UV-visible (UV-Vis) studies indicate the maximum absorbance at 357nm which confirmed the formation of ZnO Nps and the purity, functional group and monodispersity were assured by field emission transmission electron microscopy (FE-TEM), Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) Spectroscopy and dynamic light scattering (DLS). The X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) data revealed the Nps is 23.16 nm in size, crystalline in nature and possess hexagonal wurtzite structure. The Rc-ZnO Nps were subjected for catalytic studies. The Malachite Green dye was degraded by Rc- ZnO NPs in both dark and light (100 W tungsten) conditions and it degraded about 90% at 4 hours observation in both cases. The biodegradable, low cost Rc-ZnO NPs can be a better weapon for waste water treatment.

Dry noodles were prepared with wheat flour and immature Rubes coreanus (Bogbunja) powder, and the effects of added immature bogbunja powders on dough rheology and noodle quality were examined. Particle size distribution of immature bogbunja powder ranged from 0.04 to $500\;{\um}m$, which was different from that of wheat flour. The initial pasting temperature, peak and final viscosities as well as setback increased in amylograph with the increase of immature bogbunja powder. The water absorption and dough development time increased, but the dough stability decreased in farinograph with the increase of immature bogbunja powder. Decrease of L and b values and increase of a value were shown with the increase of immature bogbunja powder in wheat flour-immature bogbunja powder composite as well as dry noodles. The cooked weight and volume of noodles decreased, but the cooking loss increased with the addition of immature bogbunja powder. Most of texture parameters (hardness, cohesiveness, chewiness, gumminess and tension) of cooked noodles decreased with the addition of immature bogbunja powder. From the result of sensory evaluation, dry noodles containing 1 and 2% immature bogbunja powder were rated as higher quality dry noodles than the others.
