This study was done to provide the basic information of bread made with curry powder. The amounts of curry powder used were 0 to 3% based on the wheat flour weight. The quality of bread was investigated by evaluation of the specific loaf volume, water absorption capacity, color, sensory quality and texture. The weight of bread decreased with the increase of curry power contents, but there were no significant differences among 0.5, 1 and 2% added curry powder bread. The volume and specific loaf volume also decreased with the increase of curry power contents, but those decreases were not significant between 1% one and 2% one. The water absorption capacities were not affected by the addition of curry powder. The lightness and redness decreased with an increase of curry powder content in the bread, while yellowness increased significantly(p<0.01). The result of the sensory evaluation showed that total acceptabilities of appearance, aroma, texture and taste in the bread with 0.5% and 1% curry powder were significantly higher than the control group and the other groups. Overall quality was negatively affected by the yellowness, odor, hot and bite taste of added curry powder. The factors affecting on the overall quality of the bread with added curry powder were in order of taste quality > curry powder odor > texture quality > aroma quality > springiness > wheat flour odor.

Yukwa was prepared with different amounts of curry powder (0, 5, 10, 15, and 20%) based on the amount of waxy rice flour used, and its physical, sensory, and antioxidant properties were measured. In terms of the textural properties, the hardness began to increase when ${\geq}15%$ curry powder content was used; however, the crispiness was unchanged by the amount of curry powder used. The expansion degree of yukwa significantly decreased when 20% curry powder was used. The internal microstructure was measured by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), which showed a more compact and homogeneous structure as the curry powder content increased. The use of increased curry powder in yukwa decreased the acid and hydroperoxide values, and this could have resulted from the antioxidant action of curcumin in the curry powder. Through sensory evaluation, yukwa containing 15% curry powder was chosen as the most acceptable by the elderly.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of packaging on the aroma stability of curry powder during storage. The Volatile flavor compounds from curry powders packed with laminated film or vinyl were analyzed by the solid phase microextraction and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry during in storage at $25^{\circ}C$ for 13 weeks. Forty-eight compounds, comprising 36 terpenes, 5 alcohols, 4 benzenes, 2 carbonyl compounds, and 1 ester, were identified from the curry powders. The main volatile compounds were cuminaldehyde, anethole, and eugenol. The Volatile compounds of curry powder packed with laminated film were maintained unchanged during in the storage, whereas those packed in vinyl were decreased during the storage. The amounts of p-cymene, cuminaldehyde, anethole, and (E)-caryophyllene from curry powder packed with laminated film were maintained during storage, while those packed with vinyl decreased gradually. The aroma stability of eugenol was unaffected by packaging. The results indicates that curry powder is best packaged in with laminated film to maintain the aroma stability during storage.

An experiment was conducted to evaluate the growth performance and meat quality traits of broilers fed a diet supplemented with dry-ground curry leaves (Murraya koenigii). A total of 750 one-day-old broiler chicks (Cobbs 500) were arranged in the experiment with a completely randomized design and allotted to one of five treatments, with $T_1-Control$ and $T_2-T_5$ curry leaves powder levels (i.e., 0.3%, 0.6%, 0.9% and 1.2%, respectively). The initial body weights, final body weights and daily feed intake were measured over an experimental period of 32 days. At the conclusion of the experiment, the carcass weights and meat quality parameters were measured. The birds fed diets supplemented with curry leaves powder had a higher weight gain (P<0.05; ADG), improved feed conversion ratio (P<0.05; FCR) and lower mortality (P<0.05) rates compared to the birds in the control group. Nonetheless, there was no difference (P>0.05) in feed intake among the dietary treatments. Similarly, supplementation of curry leaves powder had no effect (P>0.05) on the proportions of the carcass, leg meat and drumstick. No differences were (P>0.05) observed in cooking loss or the pH of meat from broilers fed the curry leaves supplemented diet. However, curry leaf supplementation affected (P<0.05) the meat water holding capacity. A sensory evaluation showed higher levels of taste and tenderness in meat from broilers fed with curry leaves powder. In conclusion, our results suggested that curry leaves powder improved the growth performance of broilers, with a lower incidence of mortality and improvement of some meat qualities.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Turmeric and its active component curcumin have received considerable attention due to their many recognized biological activities. Turmeric has been commonly used in food preparation and herbal remedies in South Asia, leading to a high consumption rate of curcumin in this region. However, the amount of curcumin in the Korean diet has not yet been estimated, where turmeric is not a common ingredient. SUBJECTS/METHODS: This study utilized the combined data sets obtained from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey conducted from 2008 to 2012 in order to estimate the curcumin intake in the Korean diet. The mean intake of curcumin was estimated from the amount of curcumin-containing foods (curry powder and ready-made curry) consumed using reported curcumin content in commercial turmeric and curry powders. RESULTS: Only 0.06% of Koreans responded that they consumed foods containing curcumin in a given day, and 40% of them were younger than 20 years of age. Curcumin-containing foods were largely prepared at home (72.9%) and a significant proportion (20.4%, nearly twice that of all other foods) was consumed as school and workplace meals. The estimated mean turmeric intake was about 0.47 g/day corresponding to 2.7-14.8 mg curcumin, while the average curry powder consumption was about 16.4 g, which gave rise to curcumin intake in the range of 8.2-95.0 mg among individuals who consumed curcumin. The difference in estimated curcumin intake by using the curcumin content in curry powder and turmeric may reflect that curry powder manufactured in Korea might contain higher amounts of other ingredients such as flour, and an estimation based on the curcumin content in the turmeric might be more acceptable. CONCLUSIONS: Thus, the amount of curcumin that can be obtained from the Korean diet in a day is 2.7-14.8 mg, corresponding to nearly one fourth of the daily curcumin intake in South Asia, although curcumin is rarely consumed in Korea.

The principal objective of this study was to assess the quality characteristics of Topokki with different amounts of curry powder[0%(CT0), 2%(CT2), 4%(CT4), 6%(CT6) and 8%(CT8)], based on the amount of rice flour. The L values of the uncooked and cooked Topokki decreased significantly with increases in the amount of added curry powder. The a and b values of cooked Topokki increased significantly with increases in the amount of added curry powder. The weight gains(%) of CT0(11.40%), CT2(11.67%) and CT4(10.93%) were significantly higher and the volume increases(%) of CT2(12.53%) and CT4(12.23%) were higher than those of the other samples. Textural properties such as hardness, cohesiveness, springiness and gumminess were also assessed. Our sensory evaluation test demonstrated that the appearance of CT2(4.24), the color of CT2(4.24) and CT4(4.26), the flavor of CT2(4.34) and the overall acceptability of CT2(4.24) and CT4(4.26) were superior to those of the others. CT4, CT6 and CT8 evidenced more profound antimicrobial activities than the others. In conclusion, the addition of $2{\sim}4%$ curry powder to the rice flour proved the most acceptable for the preparation of Topokki with curry powder.

Effects of stamping and roasting treatments on change of volatile aromatic components in curry powder were investigated by gas chromatography. These were conducted for improving volatile aromatic flavor and for improving aging effect. Major volatile aromatic components of curry powder were eugenol, cuminaldehyde, myristicin, anethole, eugenolacetate, cinnamaldehyde, linalool, limonene, p-cymene and ${\gamma}-terinene$. By stamping treatment, the content of low volatile components increased till 10 min, whereas that of high volatile components started to increase after 10 min. The content of low volatile components decreased with increasing roasting time.

Antimutagenic effects of extracts from curry powder and its individual fourteen kinds of spices, were investigated by Ames test. The antimutagenic effects against a direct mutagen, 2-nitrofluorene(2 -NF) and two indirect mutagens, 2-anthramine(2-AT) and 2-acetamidofluorene (2-AE) in the S. typhimurium TA98 were tested. For the 2-NF, the antimutagenicity of cinnamon, fenugreek, fennel, ginger, clove, turmeric and celery seed were determined as 42, 38, 32, 28, 24, 23 and 20%, respectively. The antimutagenicity of clove against the 2-AT was the highest (116%), and followed by the order of celery seed(103%), cardamon(100%), red pepper(99%), cinnamon(92%), cumin(83%), ginger(82%), fennel(82%), coriander (71%), nutmeg(68%) and turmeric (55%). The results also showed that the antimutagenic effect of clove against the 2-AF was superior to other spices. In case of curry powder among more than 10 kinds of spices, the antimutagenenicity against the 2-AT and 2-AF showed 23% and 6%, respectively, but no effect was observed against the 2-NF.
