The purpose of this study was to investigate replacing possibility of sucrose by sugar alcohols and to establish the optimum formula for the development of sugar cookies. The characteristics of sugar cookies prepared with xylitol, maltitol, lactitol, isomalt substituted for 35, 50, 75, 100% of sucrose were examined through physical measurement and sensory evaluation. The spread ratio of cookies containing sugar alcohols except xylitol was superior to that of control cookies(sucrose 100%) and the use of lactitol increased the spread ratio of cookies. The specific gravity of cookies containing sugar alcohols except xylitol was lower than that of control cookies. Therefore spread ratio was in inverse proportion to specific gravity. As the proportion of sugar alcohols increased in cookie formula, surface color of cookies was getting lighter than that of control cookies. Especially cookies containing xylitol, maltitol was getting lighter as the levels of replacement increased. Overall quality of cookies with sugar alcohols containing sensory analysis was superior to that of control cookies.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the quality characteristics of cookies containing Ligularia fischeri powder (0, 1, 2, 3, 4%) substituted for flour. This study measured the density, pH, spread ratio, volume, color values, hardness, and sensory properties of cookies. The pH of cookie dough significantly decreased in response to addition of Ligularia fischeri powder (LFP) at all levels. The spread factor of cookies also significantly increased with higher LFP content. In addition, Hunter's color L, a, and b values significantly decreased with increasing LFP content. According to hardness measurement, substitution of 1~4% LFP resulted in increased hardness compared to the control. In the sensory evaluation, sensory scores for color, flavor, and overall acceptability were highest in 2% Ligularia fischeri powder cookies. Thus, our results suggest that the optimum amount of Ligularia fischeri powder added to cookies was 2%. These results suggest that Ligularia fischeri powder can be applied to cookies to achieve high quality and functionality.

The purposes of this study were to provide the basic information on the cookies made with barley and oatmeal powder and to establish an optimum formula for the development of cookies with high content of fiber. Cookie samples were prepared with barley and oatmeal at various mixing ratios (2:0, 1:1, 2:1, 0:2), and the chemical properties, textural characteristics, and sensory properties of them were evaluated. The contents of carbohydrate and moisture of barley cookies were higher than oatmeal cookies, but the contents of crude protein, crude fat, crude ash and total fiber of oatmeal were higher than those of barley. The moisture content was the highest in the cookies of oatmeal and the lowest in barley-used ones. The cookie volume was increased by the addition of barley and oatmeal. The results of sensory evaluation showed that the cookies containing barley and oatmeal (2:1) was significantly more preferable in overall acceptability than the others. Hunter color test showed that the lightness was the highest in control, but the redness and yellowness were increased in the cookies with barley and oatmeal compared with the control.

Herbs have unique tastes and flavors, and they have been used in western foods. This study used herbs to make cookies. The purpose of this study was to investigate the sensory characteristics of cookies with rosemary(1, 2, 3, 4%) and mints(1, 2, 3, 4%) after foretasting herbs. The sample of this study was 880 college students which consisted of 436 males and 444 females. The results of this study were as follows. This study was conducted to find a high quality product through a sensory test with rosemary and mints. First, in terms of foretasting experience, the respondents had tasted 12 herbs. 65.2% of them preferred parsley, followed by mint(45.2%), bay leaf(44.0%), rosemary(28.3%), basil(21.8 %), etc. Second, in terms of the most important items while making herb added to bread and cookies, taste was high with 45.8%, flavor 27.3%, price 10.1%, nutrition 8.5%, etc. There were significant differences between genders and among majors(p<0.001). Third, it was found that appearance was high with 2% added group(M=6.00) in terms of sensory preference. The flavors, tastes, texture, overall acceptability were high with 1% added group in terms of sensory preference of cookies with rosemary. The respondents showed low preference for cookies with mints. While the 1% added mint group showed the highest preference for appearances and texture, the control group showed the highest preference for flavors, tastes and overall acceptability. There was a significant difference in appearances and tastes on all samples except colors and taste of rosemary added cookies $(p<0.05{\sim}p<0.001)$. Fourth, males preferred 2% rosemary added one in appearances and tastes in a sensory test. They preferred the 1% rosemary added group in terms of flavors, texture, and overall acceptability. Females preferred appearances of cookies with 2% rosemary and also preferred flavors, tastes, texture and, overall acceptability with 1% rosemary. Both of them less preferred 4% mint added one. Overall, this study found that respondents preferred 1% rosemary herb cookies. There should be further researches with less than 1% mint to make herb cookies.

The effect of baking on the consumer perception and sensory characteristics was investigated using a model system of cookies incorporated with strawberry powder as a value-added food ingredient. Strawberry powder was incorporated into cookie dough at 4 levels (0%, 2%, 4%, and 6%, w/w) by replacing equivalent amount of wheat flour of the cookie dough. After aging and sheeting, cookies were baked at $170^{\circ}C$ for 15 min in an oven. The baked cookies were cooled to room temperature for 1 h and packed in airtight bags prior to all measurements. In terms of color, control received the most favorable mean score, which is significantly higher than others (p<0.05) followed by the 4% sample. The consumer preference on taste and aftertaste was not significantly affected by the amount of strawberry powder incorporated in the formulation (p>0.05). Samples with 4% strawberry powder received the highest mean flavor score of 6.28 which is significantly higher than that of 6% sample (p<0.05). In overall, substitution of 4% strawberry powder in the formulation would result in the most favorable strawberry cookies by the consumers with taking advantages of health benefits of strawberry. Correlation analysis indicated that strawberry powder concentration was significantly correlated positively with sensory color and hardness and negatively correlated with consumers' overall acceptability (p<0.05). Consumers' aftertaste was significantly correlated with overall acceptability which was negatively correlated with sensory hardness (p<0.05). Sensory hardness was highly correlated with sensory color attribute (p<0.05).
