Job's tears(Coix lachryma-jobi L.) chungkukjang powder and wheat bran powder were added to American cookies for practical use as healthy compounds. We examined the antioxidant activity and quality characteristics of cookies prepared with different amounts(as ratios of 10%, 20%, 25% to the flour quantity) of Job's tears chungkukjang & wheat bran powder. The antioxidant activity was estimated by DPPH free radical scavenging activity, the total phenolic compounds content and flavonoid content in Job's tears chungkukjang & wheat bran powder and cookies. The quality characteristics of Job's tears chungkukjang & wheat bran powder American cookie were estimated in terms of bulk density, pH of the dough, spread ratio, color, texture profile analysis, proximate composition, and sensory evaluations. While the spread ratio and the total polyphenol contents, flavonoid contents and DPPH free radical scavenging activity of cookies significantly increased, pH, hardness and L value of the cookies decreased with increasing Job's tears chungkukjang & wheat bran powder(p<0.01). The consumer acceptability score for the 10~20% Job's tears chungkukjang & wheat bran powder American cookie ranked significantly(p<0.05) higher than those of the other groups in texture andoverall preference. This suggests that Job's tears chungkukjang and wheat bran powder are good ingredient candidates for increasing consumer acceptability and functionality of cookies.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of acorn (fruits of Quercus species) powder on the antioxidant activity and quality characteristics of cookies. Cookies were prepared with different amounts (0, 0.5, 1, 3 and 5% to the flour quantity) of acorn powder. The antioxidant activity was estimated by DPPH free radical scavenging activity and the total phenolic acid content in acorn powder and cookies. For analyzing quality characteristics, bulk density, pH of the dough, spread factor, loss rate, leavening rate, color, texture profile analysis, and sensory evaluations were measured. The moisture contents, a values, total phenolic acid content and DPPH free radical scavenging activity of cookies significantly increased with increasing acorn powder (p<0.001), while the pH of the dough, L values and b values of the cookies significantly decreased with increasing acorn powder (p<0.001). The consumer acceptability score for the 3% acorn cookie groups ranked significantly (p<0.05) higher than the other groups in overall preference, appearance, flavor, taste and color. From these results, we suggest that acorn is a good ingredient for increasing the consumer acceptability and the functionality of cookies.

In a previous study, isoflavones showed prominent physiological effects on diabetes, hyperlipemia, and alcoholic hepatotoxicity. The purpose of this study was to develop isoflavone-rich bean sprout- and isoflavone extract-containing foods, to improve symptoms of diabetes and hyperlipemia. The foods employed were yogurt, bread, and cookies. Through sensory evaluations, the ingredient amounts were determined. In the sensory evaluations of the yogurt and bread, overall taste scores decreased with increasing amounts of bean sprout powder. However, for the cookies, the overall taste score increased with an increasing amount of bean sprout powder, and the addition of isoflavones had no influence on flavor. The results indicated the following ingredient levels for ultimate product development. For the yogurt, 100 mL of low fat milk was fermented at $50^{\circ}C$ for 36 hr, and mixed with 0.5 g of roasted bean sprout powder and 31 mg of isoflavone extract. For the bread, bean sprout powder was added to wheat flour at a replacement level of 10%, which was mixed with 12 g of butter and 124 mg of isoflavone extract for 200 g of dough. For the cookies, the bean sprout powder was added to wheat flour at a replacement level of 60%, and then mixed with 15 g of butter and 124 mg of isoflavone extract for 100 g of dough. The total isoflavone contents of the yogurt, bread, and cookies were 14.35 mg/100 mL, 38.24 mg/100 g, and 190.00 mg/100 g, respectively.

The purpose of this study was to provide the basic information on the cookies made with garlic and to investigate quality characteristics of them using chemical and sensory evaluation of cookies. Cookie samples were prepared with shredded garlic at varied levels of 0, 3, 6 and 9%. The pH of the dough significantly decreased by the addition of garlic. Dough density of control showed significantly lower values than those of 3% added sample groups. Spreadability of control had significantly higher values than the other samples. Texture measurement showed that the addition of garlic had no significant effect on cookie texture. Sensory evaluation resulted that the properties of crack, garlic aroma, garlic taste and brittleness of cookies tended to increase as the addition levels of garlic were increased. The cookies with 3% and 6% garlic had similar or significantly higher acceptance scores in all of the properties examined than those of control.

This study was performed to evaluate the effects of Liriopis tuber (SLT) extracts on cookie production conditions for reduction of sugar usage through response surface methodology (RSM). The experimental conditions were designed according to the central composite design with 17 experimental points, including three replicates for three independent variables such as the amounts of SLT extracts, butter, and sugar. The experimental data on quality and sensory evaluation of cookies were fitted with various models, and accuracy of the equations was analyzed by ANOVA. Among various responses, spread ratio, sugar content, lightness, redness, hardness, and sensory properties of color, texture, sweetness, appearance, and overall quality showed significant correlations with the contents of three independent variables. From these results, the optimum formulation of cookies for reduced usage of sugar was calculated as SLT extract 6.84 g, butter 47.20 g, and sugar 36.02 g. Optimized cookies showed improved sensory properties but no difference in sweetness compared to control cookies.

This study aimed to evaluate the physicochemical and sensory properties of the cookies that were prepared with different concentrations [0, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, and 6 % (w/w)]. The pH of the cookie dough increased significantly at all garlic juice concentrations greater than 1%. The highest dough density value was 1.23, which occurred in the 2% added group; however there was no remarkable differences among the test groups. The spread factor of the cookies showed an inverse relationship with the garlic juice concentration as compared to the control group (10.63). Hardness decreased with increasing garlic juice concentration at levels greater than 1%, and it ranged from 1857.92 to 1695.02. In addition, the L-value decreased with increasing garlic juice concentration, while the a-value gradually increased. In the case of the b-value, however, no significant difference was found compared to that of the control group. In the sensory evaluation, the color of the cookies (3.44-5.11) increased dose dependently with the garlic juice concentration. Taste scores were higher with garlic juice additions over 2%; whereas flavor was considerably greater compared to that of control group. The overall acceptability of the garlic juice cookies was higher than that of the control group. From this investigation, the optimal concentrations of added garlic juice for improvements in cookie quality were found in the range of 1-2%.

This study was conducted to investigate the quality characteristics of cookies prepared using skate powder (0, 1, 3, 5, 7%) as a substitute for flour. The pH of the cookie dough decreased significantly in response to the addition of all levels of skate powder. However, there were no significant differences in the dough values among the test groups. Furthermore, when the spread factor values were compared among groups, they were found to be inversely proportional to the skate powder concentration. In addition, the Hunter's color L, a and b values decreased significantly as the level of skate powder increased. Moreover, the addition of 1-7% skate powder resulted in increased hardness, cohesiveness, springiness, and brittleness when compared to the control. Finally, the results of the sensory evaluation and acceptance test showed that the cookies containing 3% skate powder had the highest scores.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the quality characteristics of cookies prepared with wheat sprout powder substituted at varying proportions (0%, 2%, 4%, 6%, and 8%) for wheat flour. The bulk density of cookie dough with wheat sprout powder were higher than that of the control group and the pH decreased. The moisture content of the groups with wheat sprout powder was higher than the control group. Width and thickness of finished cookies containing wheat sprout powder were lower than those of the control group. The spread ratio of the group with 8% wheat sprout powder was higher than that of the control group. In color, the L and a value decreased significantly with addition of wheat sprout powder. The hardness of the study groups was lower than that of the control group. DPPH radical scavenging activity of the control group was 24.90%, whereas the study groups ranged from 27.53~38.76%. Sensory evaluation scores in terms of appearance, texture, taste and overall preference of groups with 2% and 4% of wheat sprout powder did not show any significant difference when compared to the control group. Based on the above results, using less than 4% of the wheat sprout powder would be appropriate for use in cookies.

This study evaluated the antioxidant activity and quality characteristics of rice cookie with added butterbur powder in a ratio of 0, 5, 10, 15, and 20% to confirm the possibility of butterbur as a functional food. The moisture content, spread factor, leavening rate, and hardness of rice cookies increased with an increase in the amount of butterbur powder; whereas a decrease in the pH and baking loss rate was observed. The L and b values decreased as the amount of butterbur powder increased, but the value was the lowest when 5% of butterbur powder was added. The sensory liking score showed the highest preference for 10% butterbur powder regarding appearance, flavor, taste, texture, and overall preference. In the principal component analysis (PCA), the addition of 10% butterbur powder positively affected the measure of food acceptance in terms of organoleptic properties of butterbur. Besides, as the amount of added butterbur powder increased, the antioxidant activity of rice cookies increased. Based on these results, it appears that the addition of butterbur powder to rice cookies in a 10% ratio can produce rice cookies with excellent antioxidant activity, overall quality, and high preference.

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%.
