In efforts to use pine needle extract as a substitute for sugar, fermented pine needle extract syrup was added to the wheat flour nea in the manufacture of white bread The extract was added to levels of 8.3%, 11% and 18% of total weight based on the Brix degree of the dough The cohesion of each dough was checked, and the physical properties and storage stabilities of the baked breads were analyzed during storage at mom temperature. Analysis of the cohesion of each dough by farinogram showed that dough with pine needle extract was better than dough with sugar, in terms of both stability and durability of mixing. The pH of dough with syrup was steady during storage at pH 5.4 5.8, which is favorable for yeast activity. The dough with syrup also showed low firmness and good extensibility, both of which would favorably affect gas retention on fermentation. Increases in syrup addition resulted in higher product volumes. Bread with syrup was slow to increase in hardness during storage, suggesting that higher syrup concentrations inhibited development of staleness. The addition of syrup also inhibited the growth of aerobic bacteria and mold on the bread surface. The addition of syn did not cause any negative effect. The use of pine none extract syrup may thus contribute to improvements the physical properties, the storage stability, and the hygienic quality of bread.

We investigated the characteristics of breads containing Schizandra chinensis Baillon (SCB) added as whole powder, as a powder prepared from juice, and as a concentrate prepared from a 95% (v/v) ethanolic fruit extract, added to wheat flour at 0.5% (w/w). Addition of any form of SCB lowered the pH and increased the titratable acidity in both doughs and breads compared with control values, and the whole and juice powders were more effective in this respect than was the concentrated ethanolic extract. Dough volume during fermentation was increased by addition of whole powder and concentrated ethanolic extract, but no baking loss was evident upon addition of any form of SCB. Regarding the bread surface, the lightness (L) value was increased by addition of juice powder and concentrated ethanolic extract, but neither the redness(a) and nor the yellowness (b) values showed such increases. Internal color measurements showed increased '-a-' value upon addition of any form of SCB, and increased '-b-' value when concentrated ethanolic extract was used, however, there were no significant changes in L value. Sensory evaluation of taste, flavor, color, and overall acceptability showed that bread prepared using whole powder was more acceptable than were the other forms.

To explore cattail pollen powder as a functional food ingredient, we analyzed the general components of pollen powder, tested changes in the physical properties of dough containing the powder, and investigated the process ability of powder-containing dough in bread making by adding 3%, 6%, or 9% by weight of pollen powder to wheat flour. Cattail pollen powder consisted of (all w/w) 12.7-13.2% water, 15.7-17.8% crude protein, 1.3% crude fat, 7.5-7.7% free sugar, 14.7-18.6% crude fiber, 3.4-4.9% pollen, and 49.7-55.9% soluble nitrogen-free extract (NFE). Analysis of the physical properties of dough mixed with pollen powder showed that as more pollen powder was added, the absorption rate increased, but dough stability decreased. With increasing levels of cattail pollen powder, the falling number decreased, and amylase activity increased. Fermentability was highest in dough made with 3% by weight of pollen powder, and the bread product made from such dough had the greatest volume. As more cattail pollen powder was added, the moisture activity in dough tended to decrease to a greater extent than seen in control dough, and this tendency increased with time. We found that longer storage periods were associated with greater hardness and springiness, which indicated degradation in product quality. Therefore, it is suggested that bread products containing cattail pollen powder should be consumed within 3 days of preparation. In a taste survey, bread baked with 3% (w/w) cattail pollen powder scored highest in all questionnaire items.

The quality attributes of frozen dough mixed with milk proteins (casein: C and whey protein: W) and polysaccharides (sodium alginate: A and ${\kappa}-carrageenan:$ K), and with 1.6% (w/w) wheat flour, were investigated to improve the quality of dough. Addition of milk protein-polysaccharide mixtures increased water absorption, as assessed by farinography, compared with control material. Dough prepared with CA and WA mixtures showed longer development times and increased valorimeter values compared with control samples. However, addition of milk protein-polysaccharide mixtures decreased dough stability, elasticity, and strength. Gelatinization temperature and the temperature at maximum viscosity, as measured by amylography, increased on addition of milk protein-polysaccharide mixtures, but the maximum viscosity decreased compared with control samples. The control showed a lower dough volume than did dough prepared with CA and WA mixtures. These results indicate that addition of milk protein-polysaccharide mixtures, especially CA and WA, improved the quality of frozen dough,and could be useful to prevent bread becoming stale.

The baking performance of Cudrania tricuspidata leaf powder as a value-added food ingredient was investigated in a model system of sponge cakes. Cudrania tricuspidata leaf powder was incorporated into cake batter at 5 levels (0, 5, 10, 15, and 20%, w/w) by adding equivalent amount based on total weight of wheat flour. The specific volume, height, moisture content, volume index, and symmetry index of sponge cakes decreased significantly with the increase in Cudrania tricuspidata leaf powder content (p < 0.05). Sponge cakes became darker and firmer with increase in Cudrania tricuspidata leaf powder content (p < 0.05), as indicated by decrease in the $L^*$ and increase in the firmness measured by the texture measuring instrument. Total polyphenol content also increased gradually as the Cudrania tricuspidata leaf powder content increased. Finally, the consumer acceptance test indicated that addition of Cudrania tricuspidata leaf powder up to 10% in the formulation of sponge cakes did not significantly influence the consumers' acceptability with respect to taste and flavor. In addition, the overall acceptability was not different from each other for control and 5% sample (p > 0.05).

The feasibility of incorporating cabbage powder (CP) as a value-added food ingredient into convenient food products was investigated using cookie as a model system. CP was incorporated into cookies at amounts of 0, 2, 4, 6, and 8% (w/w) based on total weight of wheat flour. pH level and moisture content of cookie dough decreased and increased significantly, respectively, with increasing levels of CP (p<0.05), whereas density was not directly affected by levels of CP incorporation. The spread ratio of cookies and their hardness increased significantly while the loss rate decreased significantly with increasing levels of CP (p<0.05). In terms of color, lightness and yellowness decreased while redness increased significantly (p<0.05) with increasing levels of CP. 2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2'-azino-bis-(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) (ABTS) radical scavenging activities were significantly elevated by CP addition, and they increased significantly as CP concentration increased in the formulation (p<0.05). Finally, consumer acceptance test indicated that the higher than 4% of CP incorporation had an adverse effect on general consumer preferences. In contrast, cookies with moderate levels of CP (2%) were recommended based on overall scores to take advantage of the antioxidant properties of CP without sacrificing consumer acceptability.

Brownies containing whey powder (WP) with different levels of substitutions for wheat flour (0, 10, 20, 30, and 40% substitution for WP 0, WP 10, WP 20, WP 30, and WP 40, respectively) were prepared, and their properties were compared. Regarding appearance, the collapse of the sample surface noticeably started from WP 30. The moisture content was higher in samples containing WP than in the control (WP 0), and the weight of the brownie increased with WP content. As the WP amount increased, both the total and specific volumes of the brownies decreased. Regarding texture, a higher amount of WP resulted in a decrease in hardness, whereas adhesiveness increased significantly. The antioxidant activity also increased with increasing WP amount (from 35.28 to 51.47%). Regarding sensory characteristics, 20 or 30% WP in brownies increased mouth-feel properties, taste, and overall preference. Based on the above results, WP could improve the quality of brownies, and a substitution level of 20% could be the most appropriate.

In this study, to develop a higher value-added makgeolli, the Korean traditional rice wine were made of four kinds of raw material cereals (wheat flour, puffed rice, non-glutinous rice, and glutinous rice). To investigate the development potential of makgeolli as functional materials, their physicochemical characteristics, phenol, flavonoid, and vitamin contents, and 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid)(ABTS) radical scavenging activity were evaluated. Puffed rice makgeolli and non-glutinous rice makgeolli among four types of makgeolli were higher contents of alcohol (16-16.5%). Of four types of makgeolli, puffed rice makgeolli showed 5.2±0.06 mg GAE/mL, the highest level content of total phenol, and flavonoid contents of them were similarly high, with a level of 470-490 ㎍ QE/mL. Puffed rice makgeolli containing the highest level content of total phenol resulted in 81.5%, the highest activity of ABTS radical scavenging. These results suggest that puffed rice may be an effective raw material for makgeolli to be developed the antioxidant functional materials.

This study was performed to investigate the optimum condition of protease production from submerged culture of oak mushroom (Lentinula edodes, Sanlim No. 5) and its enzymatic features. Among several combinations of media, the combination of wheat bran, corn flour, water and corn oil (WB+CF+W+ CO) yielded 84.8 U/g of maximum protease activity. This combination of ingredients, in spite of not being particularly protein-rich in comparison to the other media, allowed for good growth of the fungus and maximal protease production. Comparison of different growth medium liquids indicated that demineralized water afforded the best growth of the fungus and the highest protease activity. Acetate buffer and acidified water negatively affected The protease production peaked around 72 hr of incubation, and decreased thereafter. The molecular weights of produced protease were about 45,000 by Sephadex G-75 chromatography. The pH optimum for protease activity was 4, while maximal activity incubated at 37℃ for 1 hr was observed between pH 4~6. The optimum temperature of this protease was 55℃, and the enzyme was active over a broad temperature range (30~60℃), indicating that this protease would be suitable for a wide range of applications where. different pH and temperature are necessary, such as digestive aids, food industry, beer and tannery industries.

This study was conducted to establish an appropriate period of use of sawdust spawn at low temperatures and a nutrient supplement medium for cultivation of Lentinula edodes 'Hwadam'. Of the nutrient supplements, the total yield of rice bran (5%) + corn flour (5%) treatments were 673.3 g, which was higher than rice bran (551.6 g) and wheat bran (546.7 g) treatments, respectively. As shown by the growth of Lentinula edodes 'hwadam' during to the sawdust spawn storage period (at 4℃), the period of spawn running, browning, fruiting body formation, and development was 27 d, 81 d, 5 d, and 11-13 d, respectively, regardless of the length of the storage period at 4 ℃. After 3 months of storage of sawdust spawn, the number of fruiting bodies and yield decreased as the storage period increased. Therefore, the period of use of sawdust spawn (at 4 ℃) for the stable production of fruiting bodies of Lentinula edodes 'Hwadam' was a maximum of 3 months.
