The effects of differing baking ingredient formulations on physicochemical qualities and consumer preferences were investigated using sponge cakes incorporated with tomato powder, a healthy and beneficial food ingredient, as a model system. Tomato powder was incorporated into cake batter at four different amounts (0%, 10%, 20%, and 30%, w/w) by replacing equivalent amount of wheat flour. After appropriate mixing, sponge cakes were baked and cake quality attributes were evaluated after cooling. Specific volume decreased with an increase in the tomato powder substitution, although not significantly (p>0.05). On the other hand, baking loss increased from 10.3 (control) to 13.4 (30% sample) as the tomato powder level increased in the formulation. Lightness ($L^*$) decreased significantly from 79.5 to 74.1 whereas the firmness significantly increased with the higher incorporation of tomato powder (p<0.05). The consumer preferences on color, taste, and flavor, but not softness, were significantly affected by the amount of tomato powder incorporated in the sample (p<0.05). With respect to overall acceptability, the 20% sample received the highest mean score of 5.1, although this was not significantly different from the 10% sample or control (p>0.05). The incorporation of tomato powder, up to 20%, in the formulation of sponge cakes did not significantly influence the consumers' acceptability in all attributes tested.

Bread were prepared by adding 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20% of rubi fructus(Rubus coreanus Miquel) juice to wheat flour, and the effects of added rubi fructus Juice on dough rheology and bread qualities were examined. The peak and final viscosities in rapid visco analyzer increased with the increase in addition of rubi fructus juice. The water absorption and mechanical tolerance index(MTI) increased, but dough development time and dough stability decreased in farinograph with the increase in addition of rubi fructus juice. The hardness, gumminess and chewiness of bread increased significantly with the increase in addition of tubi fructus juice. From the result of sensory evaluation, bread containing 20% rubi fructus juice were rated as higher quality bread than the others.

This study evaluated the quality characteristics of rice cookies prepared with different amounts (0%, 5%, 10%, and 15%) of hempseed powder. The values of density and pH in the cookies did not significantly differ among the groups. The moisture content ranged from 4.86% to 5.83% and was the highest in control groups. The spread factor increased with increasing hempseed powder concentration. The lightness value decreased with increasing amounts of hempseed powder, while the redness and yellowness values did not differ among groups. The incorporation of hempseed in cookies increased cookie hardness. A consumer acceptance test revealed that cookies with hempseed powder added were more preferable than those of the control groups in terms of overall acceptability. The total polyphenol content of the control groups was 7.15 mg GAE/100 g, while that of the hempseed added groups ranged from 12.36 to 17.17 mg GAE/100 g. The substitution of wheat flour for hempseed powder yielded rice cookies with a higher DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) radical scavenging activity. The above results indicate that the most desirable cookies were those prepared with the addition of 15% hempseed powder.

This study was conducted to develop a recipe for a nutritional cookie with lotus root powder that had the optimal composition of ingredients and texture resulting in high preference by all age groups. Wheat flour was partially substituted with lotus root powder to reduce its content. Response Surface Methodology was used to analyze the measured results, which showed 16 experimental points including 2 replicates for lotus root powder, sugar and butter. The compositional and functional properties were measured, and these values were applied to a mathematical model. A canonical form and perturbation plot showed the influence of each ingredient on the final mixture product. The sensory evaluation results showed significant values in color (p<0.01), texture (p<0.05) and overall quality (p<0.05). As a result, the optimal sensory ratio was determined to be 22.59 g of lotus root powder, and 53.08 g of sugar for every 120 g of butter.

In this study, we investigated the quality characteristics of noodles supplemented with lyophilized leg-meat powder from the red snow crab, Chionoecetes japonicus (CP). The noodles were prepared by adding 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10% of CP on a wheat-flour basis. The ash, crude protein and crude lipid contents of noodles increased with increasing CP content. The cooked weight, volume and water absorption values of noodles decreased, whereas the turbidity increased, with increasing CP content. The L values of the noodles decreased with increasing CP content, whereas the a and b color values increased. The hardness, gumminess and chewiness values increased with increasing CP content increased, while springiness and cohesiveness showed no significant differences among the groups. In the sensory evaluation, cooked noodles with 4-6% CP had greater overall acceptability than the noodles with other CP levels.

In this study, we investigated the quality characteristics of madeleine combined with lyophilized red snow crab Chionoecetes japonicus leg-meat powder (CM). The madeleine was prepared by the addition of wheat flour containing 0, 1, 5, 10, 15 and 20% concentrations of CM. Moisture content, pH, and baking loss rate did not differ significantly among groups. Light coloration significantly decreased in a dose-dependent manner, while red and yellow coloration significantly increased. Hardness, chewiness and gumminess significantly increased in a dose-dependent manner, while cohesiveness, springiness and adhesiveness did not differ from CON (madeleine containing 0% CM). In terms of sensory characteristics, appearance and color did not differ compared to CON, while taste, flavor and overall preference increased in a dose-dependent manner, with CM10 having the highest score among the groups. The present study assesses the potential of this improved formula as a convenience food.

Breads were prepared from wheat flour supplemented with oyster mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus) powder, and effects of the supplementation of oyster mushroom powder on dough rheology and bread quality were examined. The initial pasting temperature in viscoamylograph increased, but peak and final viscosities decreased with the increased amount of oyster mushroom powder. The gradual increase of water absorption, dough development time and mixing tolerance index, and decrease of dough stability with the increased amount of oyster mushroom powder were obtained by farinographs. The supplementation of oyster mushroom powder had an effect on the bread making, resulting in an increase of loaf weight and a decrease of loaf volume. The rough and coarse crumb texture with dark color was observed with the increased amount of oyster mushroom powder. The firmness of bread crumb containing oyster mushroom powder was increased during storage periods. Sensory evaluation revealed that the addition of $1\%$ oyster mushroom powder could be supplemented to make an acceptable quality of bread.

This work evaluates the effect of different amino acids on production of Cyclosporin (CyA) production in solid-state fermentation that was previously optimized for different fermentation parameters by one factor at-a-time for the maximum production of CyA by Tolypocladium inflatum MTCC557. Based on the Plackett-Burman design, glycerol, ammonium sulfate, $FeCl_3$, and inoculum size were selected for further optimization by response surface methodology (RSM). After identifying effective nutrients, RSM was used to develop mathematical model equations, study responses, and establish the optimum concentrations of the key nutrients for higher CyA production. It was observed that supplementation of medium containing (% w/w) glycerol, 1.53; ammonium sulfate, 0.95; $FeCl_3$, 0.18; and inoculum size 6.4 ml/5g yielded a maximum of 7,106 mg/kg as compared with 6,480 mg CyA/kg substrate using one factor at-a-time. In the second step, the effect of amino acids on the production of CyA was studied. Addition of $_L$-valine and $_L$-leucine in combination after 20 h of fermentation resulted in maximum production of 8,166 mg/kg.

Alkali-soluble extracts were prepared from medium-sized barks of Radiata pine(Pinus radiata). There are difficulties in the production of extracts with uniform quality and in the preparation of adhesives with suitable viscosity. Ultrafiltration using an Amicon cell was subjected to fractionate extracts according to molecular sizes in order to overcome the above problem. The filtration efficiency was studied by using thin channel filtration systems. Adhesive manufacturing was also examined. Removal of particles greater than 0.45m from the extracts increased both filtration speed (flux) and yields of solids in the filtrates. Ultrafiltration with PM 10 membrane was very effective to fractionate and concentrate the extracts. Stiasny precipitates from the filtrates obtained by PM 10 membrane were very lower than that(83%) of the retentates. This ultrafiltration method was efficient for obtaining high yield purified phenolic compounds(mainly polyflavanoids) and thus important for preparing wood adhesives from barks. The extracts were shown excessive high viscosities at the concentrations required for adhesive formulation, but this high viscosity and short gelation time was reduced by lowering pH of the extracts and addition of urea. The highest bonding strength of plywoods(340g/$m^2$ of adhesive spreads) was achieved with adhesive formulated by 100parts of mixed alkali extracts and urea(70/30,w/w), 10parts of p-formaldehyde and 3.5parts of wheat flour at pH 6, and by hot pressing at the conditions of 12kg/$cm^2$ at $120^{\circ}C$ for 10 minutes.
