This study was conducted to evaluate the physicochemical and sensory characteristics of chiffon cakes made with rice flour ranging from 20-100% in place of wheat flour. The water binding capacity of the rice flour was greater than that of the wheat flour and its fat binding capacity was lower than that of the wheat flour. The batter stability data indicated that the 100% treatment was better than the control, and specific gravity values and specific loaf volumes were lower in the samples with added rice flour. Texture analysis found no significant differences in hardness, adhesiveness, cohesiveness, gumminess, and chewiness between the control and the 100% treatment. In the case of crust color, the rice flour-added chiffon cakes did not show any significant differences for their 'a' values. In addition, their crumb color was not significantly different in terms of both their 'L' and 'a' values. According to the sensory evaluation, there was no significant difference in overall acceptability between the control and the rice flour-added chiffon cakes. The highest sensory scores were obtained by the 100% treatment for overall acceptance and moistness. However, flavor, cohesiveness, and brittleness were not significantly different. These study results show that wheat flour could be replaced by rice flour up to 100% in chiffon cake.

In this study, we investigated the quality characteristics and the sensory evaluation for madeleine added with peach (Prunus persica L. Batsch) juice. The pH and specific volume of madeleine were decreased with increase of peach juice, whereas the moisture and loss rate were increased. In the color of madeleine crust, L and b value were decreased with increase of peach juice, and these results showed significant differences compared to control(p<0.05). The other hand, the colors of madeleine crumb showed less significant changes compared to the control. On texture of madeleine with increase of peach juice, the hardness, chewiness, gumminess and cohesiveness were increased, whereas the adhesiveness was decreased. In the sensory evaluation with taste, color, flavor and overall preference, the madeleine with 20%(w/w) peach juice showed the highest value. Consequently, these results should provide the possibile use of peach processing in bakery industry because the addition of peach juice enhanced the quality and sensory characteristics of madeleine.

In this study, sponge cakes were prepared with substitution of 5, 10, 15, and 20% banana powder. The specific gravity and viscosity tended to increase as the ratio of banana powder increased. The foaming stability was highest at the 10% substitution level. The control group had significantly higher moisture content and volume index than the banana powder samples. The crust color values (a, b) decreased significantly with increased content of banana powder, but the a value increased. Crumb colors values (L, b) decreased as banana powder content increased while the a value increased. In terms of textural characteristics, the samples containing 5, 15, and 20% banana powder had significantly higher hardness than the 0 and 10% samples. Fracturability and resilience were maximal with 15% and 5%, respectively. Adhesiveness and chewiness were not significantly different among the samples. In the sensory evaluation, scores for banana flavor, coarseness, color, flavor, softness, and overall acceptability increased as the level of banana powder content increased. Sweetness was not significantly different among the samples. The control group had significantly higher egg-flavor as compared to the samples containing banana powder. The results indicated that substituting 10% banana powder to sponge cake is optimal for quality and provides a product with reasonably high overall acceptability.

This study was conducted to investigate the use of sugar alcohols as alternative sweeteners for replacing sucrose in sponge cake. The sponge cakes were prepared with only sucrose or a 50% replacement of sucrose with various sugar alcohols (erythritol, sorbitol, and xylitol). The specific gravity of cake batter containing only sucrose was significantly higher and the viscosity was significantly lower than those containing sugar alcohol (p<0.001). Among sugar alcohols, xylitol was the most similar to sucrose. The thermal characteristics, as assessed by differential scanning calorimetry, showed that sucrose delayed gelatinization of cake batter more than sugar alcohol, as the onset temperature and the peak temperature of cake batter containing only sucrose were higher than those containing sugar alcohol. The moisture content of cake containing sorbitol was the highest and that containing only sucrose was the lowest among cakes. The specific volume of cakes containing only sucrose and xylitol were higher and the baking loss rate of those were lower than other sugar alcohols. The volume and symmetry index of cake containing only sucrose were the highest among cakes (p<0.001), and xylitol was similar to sucrose for the above indices. The redness (a) and yellowness (b) values of crust containing only sucrose were significantly higher than those containing sugar alcohols (p<0.001). The a and b values of crumb containing erythritol were the lowest among cakes, showing a pale yellowish color. The microstructure, as assessed by scanning electron microscopy, showed that the cake containing only sucrose had more uniformly and finely distributed pores and a smoother cross section than that containing sugar alcohols. Cake containing xylitol was similar to cake containing only sucrose. Hardness, chewiness, and gumminess of cake containing only sucrose were higher than those containing sugar alcohols, whereas the adhesiveness of cakes containing sugar alcohols were higher than those containing only sucrose (p<0.01). Among sugar alcohols, xylitol was the most similar to sucrose in textural properties. In a sensory quality test, the tenderness and moistness of cakes containing sorbitol and erythritol were higher than those containing only sucrose and xylitol. The overall acceptance of cakes containing xylitol and only sucrose were higher than those containing sorbitol and erythritol (p<0.001). Thus, xylitol is more appropriate as a 50% replacement for sucrose than erythritol and sorbitol when preparing sponge cake.

This study investigated the quality characteristics and antioxidant activity of bread containing Codium fragile powder (CFP; 1, 3, 5%). As the CFP content increased, the fermentation expansion (%) of the dough significantly decreased (P<0.05). No significant difference (P>0.05) was observed in the moisture content (%) of bread as the CFP content increased, but the pH and weight significantly increased (P<0.05). The bread volume, specific volume, and baking loss significantly decreased (P<0.05) as the CFP content increased. The L, a and b Hunter colors on the bread crust showed a tendency to decrease (P<0.05) as the CFP content increased. Compared with the control, the bread crumb darkened and presented a green color as the CFP content increased. Compared with the control (DPPH, 4.10%, ABTS, 2.17%), the free radical scavenging activities of DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) and ABTS [2,2'-Azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid] as antioxidant indices gradually increased (P>0.05) with the CFP content increased (DPPH, 9.77-18.63%, ABTS, 4.30-11.40%). Collectively, these results can make a compelling case for the functional development of CPP-containing bread due to its antioxidant properties. Furthermore, this study intends to contribute to the development of various processed seaweed foods by expanding the availability of CFP, which is easy to use and store for a long time.

The aims of this study were to investigate the quality characteristics of yellow layer cake added with Sparassis crispa powder that were abundant in dietary fiber, and also to determine the most suitable amount of added S. crispa powder. Dried powder of S. crispa containing 61.8 g/100 g insoluble dietary fiber was added to the cake batter in Baker's percentage of 1%, 2%, 4%, and 8%. Cake batter containing 1% and 2% S. crispa powder showed similar pH, specific gravity, and viscosity values to the batter without S. crispa powder (control). As the amount of added S. crispa power increased, the volume, specific volume, baking loss, and brightness (for both crust and crumb) of the cake containing the powder tended to decrease. A greater amount of added S. crispa powder resulted in a decrease in hardness, gumminess, and chewiness of the cake containing the powder and also reduced the changes in hardness of the cake during 8 days of storage. The sensory analysis showed that cake containing 2% S. crispa had several desirable kinds of sensory attributes, such as color, flavor, taste, and texture compared to the control; whereas an addition of more than 2% S. crispa deteriorated the sensory quality of the cake. These results suggest that the most suitable amount of added S. crispa powder for preparing yellow layer cake was 2% in Baker's percentage.

The Physical and sensory characteristics of muffins prepared with flavonoids such as ferulic acid and p-hydroxybenzoic acid were evaluated for the development of functional foods using these flavonoids. The solubilities of ferulic acid and p-hydroxybenzoic acid were over 1% in water and the solutions showed a good thermal stability. However, 1% ferulic acid and p-hydroxybenzoic acid solution showed a color change during heating. The volume and maximum height of the control muffin were the greatest among the muffin groups. The volume of the muffins decreased with the increase of flavonoid concentration. The volumes of muffins with p-hydroxybenzoic acid were smaller than those of muffins with ferulic acid. The L, a and b values on crust and crumb of the muffin groups were not significantly different. The chemical flavor, bitterness and after taste of the muffins prepared with ferulic acid were stronger than those of the control muffins. Savory flavor and sweetness of the muffins with ferulic acid were weaker than those of the control muffins. The muffins with p-hydroxybenzoic acid were not significantly different from the control muffins in the appearance, flavor, taste, texture and overall acceptability. These results demonstrated that p-hydroxybenzoic acid may be useful as an additive to muffin.

This study investigated the quality characteristics of commercial rice flour (CRF) and rice flours prepared by different milling methods for sulgidduk. For particle distribution, dried rice flour after the 1st roll mill using a pin mill showed a particle size of greater than $710{\mu}m$, whereas a particle size less than $250{\mu}m$ accounted for 48% of whole rice flour. This proportion was higher than CRF after the 2nd step roll mill. Crude protein, lipid, and ash contents were significantly highest in 1st roll mill samples. For color, roll & pin made up of many small particles showed a high L value. CRF and roll & pin showed significantly higher starch damage and water-holding capacity, whereas pasting temperature, peak viscosity, and setback of RVA pasting characteristics were lower than 1st roll mill. When rice cakes were made from three kinds of rice flour, roll & pin was not significantly different compared to the CRF. However, rice cakes made with 1st roll milled rice flour showed rough crumb and crust. Rice cake made with roll & pin or CRF showed similar characteristics for texture. In the quantitative descriptive analysis, rice cake made with roll & pin showed better appearance, flavor, taste, texture, and overall acceptability than CRF and 1st roll mill. Therefore, rice flour prepared by roll & pin could be applied to sulgidduk with high quality.

The feasibility of incorporating jujube powder as a value-added food ingredient in bakery food products, using a model system of muffins, was investigated. Jujube powder was incorporated into muffins at 0, 5, 10, 15, and 20% weight amounts based on the total weight of wheat flour. Qualities, such as pH, volume index, height, and moisture content, of muffins decreased significantly with increasing levels of jujube powder added (p<0.05). In terms of color, lightness decreased, whereas redness increased significantly for both crust and crumb (p<0.05) with increasing levels of jujube powder. Baking loss also decreased gradually, while hardness and 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity were significantly influenced with higher amounts of jujube powder in the formulation (p<0.05). Finally, the consumer acceptance test indicated that the highest levels of jujube incorporation (20%, w/w) had a considerable adverse effect on consumer preferences in all attributes. In contrast, muffins with moderate levels of jujube powder (10%, w/w) are recommended (with respect to overall preference score) for taking advantage of the functional properties of jujube powder without sacrificing consumer acceptability.

This study conducted autoclave and microwave treatments on dough to determine if there were any changes in quality after the dough was cooked into bread. Wheat dough after secondary fermentation was treated with a microwave (1 min), an autoclave (30 min), and both an autoclave and microwave (30 min/1 min). We then measured the pH, moisture content, color, texture, and sensory evaluation. The results showed that pH was slightly decreased when it was treated in an autoclave (baking and no baking) and autoclave/microwave (baking and no baking). When microwaved and baked, the moisture content most decreased compared to the control. In crust color, there were no considerable differences in lightness, redness, or yellowness compared to the control, except when microwaved (no baking). The lightness of the crumb color decreased, while redness and yellowness increased, when dough was treated with an autoclave (baking and no baking) and autoclave/microwave (baking and no baking). Hardness, gumminess, chewiness and shear force were significantly increased when dough was treated with an autoclave (baking and no baking) and autoclave/microwave (baking and no baking) compared to the control. In the sensory evaluation, there were no considerable differences in color, aroma, taste, or overall preference when microwaved and baked. Color, aroma, shape, and overall preference were the worst when the dough was treated with autoclave/microwave (baking and no baking). These results suggest that autoclaving and microwaving may reduce the quality of bread, and countermeasures to this problem are necessary.
