The purpose of this study was to develop a functional hasuo (Polygoni Multiflori Radix) muffin prepared via the replacement of sucrose (SM) with oligosaccharide (fructooligosaccharide, isomaltooligosaccharide, galactooligosaccharide). The fructooligosaccharide-added hasuo muffin showed the highest weight while the volume and specific volume were lower in the oligosaccharide-added group than in the sucrose-added sample. The pH of the sucrose-added sample was higher than that of the oligosaccharide-added sample. The lowest lightness value was found in the sucrose-added sample, but the highest redness and yellowness values were found in the sucrose-added sample. The springiness and cohesiveness were highest in the fructooligosaccharide-added sample. The DPPH-radical-scavenging activity of the hasuo muffin including sucrose was 38.67, while that including the oligosaccharide group ranged from 42.87 to 65.95. In the sensory evaluation of the hasuo muffin, the fructooligosaccharide-added sample obtained the highest score in after-swallow, flavor, taste, and texture. The hasuo muffin with fructooligosaccharide and isomaltooligosaccharide obtained high scores in overall acceptability. These results suggest that hasuo muffin with fructooligosaccharide and isomaltooligosaccharide have the potential to become commercially successful muffins.

This study aimed to investigate the differences in the isomaltooligosaccharides present during Makgeolli production according to the type of Nuruk used, fermentation period, and presence of microorganisms. Makgeolli was fermented for 15 days using three kinds of Nuruk (Soyul, Sansung, and Jinju) with and without microbial growth inhibitors. Isomaltooligosaccharide contents were analyzed using high performance anion exchange chromatography. The most abundant isomaltooligosaccharide was panose, which was highest in Makgeolli produced using Soyul Nuruk (SH) on day 6 (24.7 mM), followed by Makgeolli prepared using Sansung Nuruk (SS) on day 2 (18.2 mM) and Makgeolli prepared using Jinju Nuruk (JJ) on day 3 (10.8 mM). Isomaltotriose and isomaltotetraose, which were generated in the control, were not detected when microbial growth was suppressed. Based on these results, isomaltooligosaccharide production is affected more by the enzymes produced by microorganisms during Makgeolli fermentation than by Nuruk itself.

This study was carried out to determine the quality characteristics of Jeju mandarin orange jellies containing sugar (control) and sugar derivative sweeteners (erythritol, isomaltooligosaccharide, sorbitol, and xylitol) to be consumed by the elderly. The gelling agents were carrageenan and gellan gum at the concentration of 0.27%, respectively. The average age of the subjects for the acceptance test was 78. The lightness (L), redness (a), and yellowness (b) values of the carrageenan gel were higher than those of the gellan gum gel using the same sugars. The L, a, and b values of the carrageenan gel made with sugar derivative sweeteners were higher than those of the respective gel made with sugar. Whereas there were almost no differences between the color values of the gellan gum gels made with sugar and sugar derivative sweeteners, respectively. The gelling and melting temperatures of the carrageenan gel with erythritol were highest and those of the respective gel with xylitol were lowest among the sugar derivative sweeteners. The gelling and melting temperatures of the gellan gum gels with erythritol and isomaltooligosaccharide, respectively, were lower, and those of the respective gel made with xylitol were higher compared to that with sugar. There was no break down in the gellan gum gel. The break down rate of the carrageenan gel made with isomaltooligosaccharide was highest and that of the respective gel with xylitol was lowest among the sugar derivative sweeteners. The hardness, adhesiveness, springiness, and chewiness of the gellan gum gel were greater compared to the carrageenan gel. The adhesiveness levels of the carrageenan gels made with sugar derivative sweeteners were lower, and their springiness was higher than the respective gel with sugar. All the TPA characteristics of the gellan gum gels made with erythritol and xylitol, respectively, were higher than the respective gel with sugar. The rupture properties of the gels were the same as their TPA characteristics. The sensory acceptance of the carrageenan and gellan gum gels made with sugar were highest among all the sweeteners. There were no significant differences in the sensory acceptance scores of the carrageenan gels made with xylitol, erythritol, and sugar, respectively, and there were also no significant differences in the sensory acceptance scores of the gellan gum gels made with xylitol, sorbitol, and sugar, respectively. Xylitol was preferred in both the carrageenan and gellan gum gels. Thus, xylitol appears to be an appropriate alternative sweetener to sugar in Jeju mandarin orange jelly for consumption by the elderly, with regard to the acceptability and stability of the gel.

In this study, rice flour sponge cakes were prepared by replacing 50% of the sucrose with oligosaccharides. Isomaltooligosaccharide and fructooligosaccharide were used as the oligosaccharides. The effects of oligosaccharides on the physical, textural and sensory properties of the cakes were then examined. The oligosaccharides increased batter viscosity and decreased batter specific gravity and baking loss. The moisture content, specific loaf volume and loaf volume index of the cake increased by replacing 50% of the sucrose with oligosaccharides. Internal and exterior color determinations showed that the 'L' value of the sponge cake with oligosaccharides was lower than that of the control, indicating a darker crust and crumb with the oligosaccharide substitution. Decreases in textual hardness, chewiness, and brittleness occurred with the oligosaccharides. Sensory panels perceived that the oilgosaccharide darkened the crust of the rice flour sponge cake and the panelists rated the cakes with the oilgosaccharide substitutions as sweeter, softer and more moist. The rice flour sponge cakes with isomaltooligosaccharides had a significantly higher acceptability then the others.

The effects of dipping syrups prepared with isomaltooligosaccharides on the characteristics of Yackwa were investigated. The dipping syrups were prepared replacing sucrose with 0, 25 and 50% isomaltooligosaccharide. Physical and sensory characteristics of Yackwa were evaluated. Isomaltooligosaccharides increased dehydration rate and increased absorption rate of dipping syrups. Yackwas dipping in the syrup containing isomaltooligosaccharides were more acceptable than those with sucrose syrup. The acceptability was significantly correlated with shinness(p<.01), moistness(p<.05), adhesiveness(p<.05), cohesiveness(p<.01), roasted taste(p<.0l) and sweetness(p<.05). Therefore, isomaltooligosaccharides might be a good alternative for sucrose in making dipping syrup of Yackwa.

The effects of dipping syrups prepared with oligosaccharides on Yackwa were examined. The dipping syrups were prepared by replacing sucrose with 50% isomaltooligosaccharide or fructooligosaccharide, and the physical and sensory characteristics of Yackwa dipped in above syrups were evaluated. Addition of oligosaccharides to dipping syrups increased the reducing sugar contents, dehydration rate and absorption rate of Yackwa. The exterior color of Yackwa dipped in oligosaccharides-containing syrup was darker, more reddish and yellowish than control. Use of oligosaccharides in dipping syrup increased the darkness, gloss, moistness and sweetness, and decreased the roasted taste of Yackwa as perceived by panels. Yackwa dipped in the syrups replacing sucrose with 50% oligosaccharides showed better acceptability than control. The acceptability was positively correlated with the gloss and cohesiveness. Above results suggested that oligosaccharides are good alternatives for sucrose in making dipping syrup for Yackwa.

The effects of food grade fructooligosaccharide (FOS), isomaltooligosaccharide (MOS), galactooligosaccharide (GOS), and inulin on the growth of five strains of bifidobacteria in fermented milk were investigated. Their effect on culture viability during refrigerated storage was also determined. FOS showed the highest growth-promoting activity for all bifidobacteria except for Bifidobacterium bifidum. Growth rates of B. adolescentis, B. breve, and B. infantis were stimulated by oligosaccharides and inulin, whereas B. longum growth was stimulated by the oligosaccharides but not inulin. In contrast, growth of B. bifidum was enhanced only by inulin. Both acetic and lactic acid production by Bifidobacterium spp. was also enhanced in the presence of 5.0% oligosaccharides. The viability of bifidobacteria cultured with oligosaccharides and inulin, particularly with FOS, was significantly higher than control cultures after 4 weeks of refrigerated storage. The utilization of oligosaccharides is likely to enhance the growth rate, activity, and viability of bifidobacteria.

Fructo-oligosaccharide and isomalto-oligosaccharide were used to replace 10%, 20%, or 30% of the sucrose in cake. Replacement with either fructo-oligosaccharide or isomalto-oligosaccharide resulted in cakes with higher volume, browner crust, yellower crumb. Cakes baked with oligoaccharide were softer than 100% sucrose cake. During 9 days storage at 2$0^{\circ}C$, the hardness of both 10% fructooligosaccharide and 10% isomalto-oilgosaccharide cakes was higher than that of 20% and 30% oligosaccharide cake was higher than that of 10% fructo-oligosaccharide cake at the end of storage, there was no difference in hardness among 10%, 20% and 30% isomalto-oligosaccharide cakes. Cakes substituted with isomaltooligosaccharide for sucrose at the level of 20% and 30% or with fructo-oligosaccharide at the level of 30% were significantly moist compared to control. Replacement of sucrose with oligosaccharide, except with fructo-oligosaccharide at the level of 30%, did not affect significantly overall likeness of cakes.

This study was carried out to produce the health functional food maesil cheong by replacing sucrose with isomaltooligosaccharide and fructooligosaccharide. The substitution levels of these oligosaccharides were between 10% and 100%. A 1:1 (w/w) mixture of maesil and sugar was adopted for preparing maesil cheong. The pH of maesil cheong remained unchanged (between 2.72 and 3.00) during 90-day storage period, regardless of oligosaccharide content. Citric and malic acids were identified in maesil cheong; citric acid accounted for 71-82% of the total organic acid content. Sucrose was completely liquefied in the sample after 30 days and was hydrolyzed steadily into fructose and glucose over the storage period. More than 75% of isomaltooligosaccharides remained in maesil cheong after 90 days when sucrose was completely replaced with isomaltooligosaccharide. However, fructooligosaccharides were mostly decomposed at the end of storage period. Thus, isomaltooligosaccharides may be suitable for acidic maesil cheong products to expect its health functional effect.

In this study, we prepared apple vinegar beverage with different acidity levels (low and high, LA and HA, respectively) containing fructooligosaccharide (FOS) or isomaltooligosaccharide (IMO). The changes in their properties and sugar composition during storage (at 40℃ for 6 months) with those of the control (sample containing sucrose, SUR) were compared. The reducing sugar content in all samples increased during the storage, except for IMO-LA, and SUR showed the highest values. More organic acids were found in the HA samples than in the LA samples. The browning degree, turbidity, and total phenolic content increased during storage in all samples although IMO-LA showed the least. The IMO amount was maintained in the sample during storage. However, most of the FOS and SUR were degraded into glucose and fructose. In conclusion, the properties of low-acidity beverages could be better maintained with the addition of oligosaccharides compared to SUR, and IMO was more suitable for this purpose than FOS, when considering functionality.
