This study investigated the physicochemical and sensory characteristics of muffins prepared with various amounts(0, 3, 6, 9, 12%) of yacon powder. The specific gravity of the muffins prepared by adding yacon powder was higher than that of the control group. The height of the muffins added with 3% yacon powder was higher than that of the other groups. The weight of the muffins prepared with yacon powder showed no significant difference among all the sample groups. The volume and specific loaf volume of the muffins were decreased by addition of yacon powder. The baking loss rate of the muffins prepared by adding yacon powder showed no significant difference among all the sample groups. The moisture content of the muffins was increased, but their pH was decreased significantly by addition of yacon powder. DPPH radical scavenging activity of the control group was 21.45%, whereas the muffins prepared with yacon powder ranged from 57.23~85.46%. The a value of redness was increased, but L and b values were decreased significantly by addition of yacon powder. The springiness, cohesiveness and brittleness of textural properties of the muffins were decreased significantly by addition of yacon powder. Sensory evaluation scores in terms of appearance, taste, texture and overall preference for the muffins showed that 6~9% substituted sample groups were higher than those of the others. The results of this study suggest that adding 6~9% of yacon powder was the best substitution ratio for muffins.

The present study was performed to increase the availability of sweet (Ipomoea batatas) and to develop dinner roll with the reducing ability of blood glucose levels. Different contents of lyophilized sweet potato powder (SPP) were added in dinner roll. Compare to the control group, batter density, a value, hardness, and cohesiveness of the SPP-treated groups were significantly increased while dough expansion rate, baking loss rate, L value, and Hue angle were significantly decreased. Twenty four Sprague-Dawley rats were administered with the SPP-treated diet for 4 weeks after diabetes was induced with the injection of streptozotocin. The blood glucose concentration of the SPP-treated group was significantly lower than that of the control. Although the SPP-treated groups possessed the ability of reducing blood glucose level, the sensory qualities were inferior to the control. Thus, follow-up study was required to improve the sensory characteristics as well as the texture properties.

This study was conducted to investigate the quality characteristics of tofu prepared with addition of cowpea meal (CPM). Any significant difference of L-value between control CPM-O and treatment CPM-I, CPM-II and CPM-III could not be seen as addition ratio of CPM increases (p < 0.05). The b-value of CPM-III (75%) has shown the least value of 14.26, and it has decreased as addition ratio of CPM increases. The result of texture profile did not show any significant difference between control CPM-O and CPM-Iexcept in the case of cohesiveness. The pH range of treatments was 6.36~6.52, which showed no significant difference from controls. The values of turbidity were 1.46~1.81, which had increasing trend as addition ratio of CPM increases. The total bacterial count of CPM-III was $4.40{\times}10^2CFU/g$, which showed significant difference from the control. No Esterichia coli was detected in the control and the treatments. The result of sensory analysis of the treatment CPM-I did not show any significant difference from the control, which implied the treatment CPM-Iwas found to be suitable at the tofu making using byproducts of cowpea-jelly making. Isoflavone glycoside (IG) was contained more on the order of genistin, daidzin, and glycitin, and the content decreased significantly as addition ratio of CPM increases. The content of isoflavone-aglycone (IA) was less than IG, but showed similar behavior of addition ratio of CPM.
