This study investigated the quality characteristics of cookies containing Platycodon grandiflorum powder, which is well known for its various functions and biological activity. Cookie samples were prepared by adding the Platycodon grandiflorum powder at different levels of 0%, 1%, 3% and 5%. In this study, moisture, pH, color, spread factor, hardness and sensory evaluation of cookies were examined. The results showed that the pH and moisture of cookies were decreased when more amount of Platycodon grandiflorum powder was added. Regarding the color of cookies, the L value was decreased when more amount of Platycodon grandiflorum powder was added, where as the a value and b value were increased (p<0.001, p<0.01). The spread factor of cookies generally increased as more amount of Platycodon grandiflorum powder was added, but it was not statistically significant. The hardness of the cookies decreased as more amount of Platycodon grandiflorum powder was added. Cookies containing 1% of Platycodon grandiflorum powder showed the highest scores for overall acceptability, color, taste and texture. Regarding the flavor of cookies, the control showed the highest score, and the score decreased as more amount of Platycodon grandiflorum powder was added.

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.

This study investigated the quality characteristics of cookies added with the powder of pomace powder, which was produced as a by-product in Korean rice wine (Takju). The quality of cookies was evaluated based on moisture content, color, hardness, and sensory evaluation. Cookies were prepared by addition of 0, 5, 10, and 15% Takju pomace powders to basic flour formulation. The pH values of dough added with Takju pomace powder were 3.04-6.52, which was lower than that of the control group. The moisture contents of cookies were 6.92-6.52% and were lowest in cookies added with 15% Takju pomace powder. The L value was reduced according to the increase in Takju pomace powder. On the contrary, a value increased. Especially, a value of the control was negative (-0.96) while those of cookies added with Takju pomace powder were positive. There were no significant differences in the b value of these cookies. For texture, hardness of cookies was lowest in 15% Takju pomace powder cookies. The results of the sensory evaluation compared to cookies with 10% powder Takju pomace were superior in appearance, taste and overall preference.

The quality characteristics of sugar-reduced green tea cookies were tested, and there was no significant differences in density, spreadability, loss rate, and pH in all experimental groups (p<0.05). The sugar content of the sample with 100% sugar replaced was 0.96°Brix, which was significantly higher than the 0.80 °Brix of the control (p<0.05). The sample with 75% sugar substituted was 0.76°Brix, which was similar to that of the control (p>0.05). The calories per 100 g of cookies were reduced from 482 to 433 kcal in the sample groups, where the sugar content was reduced from 0 to 100%. Carbohydrates also decreased with decreasing sugar content. The protein was 5g in the sugar sample group reduced by 0-25%, and 6 g in the sugar sample group reduced by more than 50%. Dietary fiber was three times higher in the sugar sample group reduced by 75% than the control, and four times higher in the sugar sample group reduced by 100% than the control. No significant differences in the sweet sensory intensities were observed between the control and the 75% reduced sugar sample group (p>0.05). The brightness, savory, sweet, and aftertastes were similar in all experimental groups (p>0.05). Overall, high value-added green tea cookies with a more than 75% reduction in sugar were successfully developed with added functions of immunity, anti-cancer, antioxidant functions, preventing constipation and obesity, without deteriorating the sensory and physicochemical qualities tested.

In this study, the quality characteristics of cookies with added purple kohlrabi (Brassica oleracea var. gongylodes) powder were investigated and analyzed through chemical and sensory evaluation. Samples were prepared with different levels (0, 1, 3, and 5%) of freeze-dried kohlrabi powder. The addition of Kolarbi powder decreased the moisture and fat contents, but the ash content was significantly increased (p<0.05). The pH and density of the cookie dough decreased significantly with the increasing levels of kohlrabi powder added (p<0.05). The spread ratio of the cookies generally decreased as more kohlrabi powder was added, but the decrease was not statistically significant. The hardness of the cookies increased significantly, however, with the increasing levels of kohlrabi powder added (p<0.05). The Hunter's color L, a, and b values significantly decreased with increasing kohlrabi powder compared to those of the control (p<0.05). In the sensory evaluation, the cookies to which 3 and 5% kohlrabi powder were added showed remarkably higher values for color, taste and appearance. These results suggest that purple kohlrabi powder is a good ingredient for improving the sensory and quality characteristics of cookies.

Cookies were prepared by adding different levels (0, 5, 10, 15, and 20%) of purple sweet potato powder (PSPP) and their physicochemical and sensory characteristics were examined. With increase of the PSPP level, moisture content decreased and ash content increased (p<0.05). The spread factor of control cookies was higher than that of cookies containing PSPP. The incorporation of PSPP in cookies lowered the lightness and yellowness but increased redness (p<0.05). Texture measurement showed that the addition of PSPP did not affect the hardness of cookies. Results of acceptance test revealed that overall acceptability score was not significantly different between the control and the PSPP added cookies. Therefore, it is suggested that PSPP can be incorporated into cookies up to 20% without affecting the cookie quality. Total polyphenol content and antioxidant activity were assessed to examine the functionality of cookies. In addition, substitution of wheat flour with PSPP yielded cookies with higher polyphenol content and antioxidative activity (p<0.05). The peroxide value (POV) and acid value increased during storage at $60^{\circ}C$ for 80 days. The POV was significantly lower in cookies containing PSPP than the control cookies, suggesting that the addition of PSPP deterred the lipid oxidation (p<0.05).

Burdock powder (BP) has shown diverse functional activities; thus, it seems a good way to increase its consumption by incorporating BP into suitable food products such as cookies. Studies were carried out on cookies prepared by incorporating BP (2%, 4%, 6%, and 8%) into wheat flour. The cookie dough and cookies were evaluated for their physical, chemical, and sensory characteristics. The pH and density of cookie doughs ranged from 6.70-6.85 and 1.19-1.21, respectively, with no remarkable differences. Moisture content and spread factor of cookies appeared to increase with higher content of BP in the formulation but did not show significant differences (p>0.05). For color values of cookie surface, $L^*$, $a^*$, and $b^*$-values significantly decreased as a result of BP substitution (p<0.05). The cookies became crispier as indicated by the reduction in the breaking strength value from 26.71 to 17.83 N. 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 BP, and they were well correlated. Hedonic sensory results indicated that cookies supplemented with 2% BP received the most favorable acceptance scores for all sensory attributes evaluated. Overall, cookies with BP could be developed with improved physicochemical qualities as well as consumer acceptability.

Aloe is an attractive potential food source because it has functional uses. It has been widely used as a well-being food and drink. The antioxidant activity was estimated by measuring DPPH free radical scavenging activity. We investigated the quality characteristics of cookies prepared by adding various concentrations of aloe powder (0%, 1%, 3%, 5%, all w/w) as a substitute for flour. In this study, the DPPH free radical scavenging activity, moisture content, and hardness of cookies significantly increased with increasing aloe powder, while the pH, spread factor and L and b values slightly decreased. Sensory evaluation scores in terms of texture were shown to be very similar statistically, but color, flavor, taste, and overall acceptability scores were lower than the control. As a result of this study, the quality of cookies with the addition of 1% aloe powder were the most suitable in terms of taste, flavor, texture, and sensory properties.

The objective of this study was to determine the quality, characteristics, and antioxidant activities of black rice cookies prepared with different amounts of dried lave powder. Flour was substituted with dried laver powder used in different amounts as follows: 1.25, 6.25, and 8.75%. The moisture, ash, and crude protein contents of cookies were increased when using higher amounts of dried laver powder. The total polyphenol contents increased with the increasing levels of dried laver powder. The antioxidant activity measured by DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activities were significantly higher than the control, and it proportionally increased as the amount of dried laver powder increased. Finally, the sensory evaluation showed that the cookies made with 6.25% dried laver powder had the highest score. Based on these results, it was suggested that dried laver may be a useful ingredient for improving the quality and antioxidant potential of cookies.
