This study evaluated the quality characteristics of muffins added with different amounts (0%, 3%, 6%, or 9%) of red ginseng marc powder. The specific gravity of red ginseng marc muffin batter significantly increased with increasing amounts of red ginseng marc powder (P<0.05). Weight and baking loss rate of muffin were not significantly different from those of the control. Volume, height, and pH of muffins significantly decreased when amounts of red ginseng marc powder increased (P<0.05). The moisture contents of muffins added with red ginseng marc powder increased with increasing amounts of red ginseng marc powder. The lightness and yellowness of muffins and dough increased as concentration of red ginseng marc powder increased. Redness decreased as concentration of red ginseng marc powder increased. DPPH radical scavenging activity of muffins increased with an increase in the concentration of red ginseng marc powder. The hardness, gumminess, and chewiness decreased with increasing red ginseng marc powder concentration. Adhesiveness, springiness, cohesiveness, and resilience increased with addition of powder. Sensory test revealed no significant differences in color, texture, and mouthfeel between the muffin samples. Therefore, red ginseng marc powder can be incorporated into muffins up to 6% to improve functional quality of red ginseng marc and minimize changes in quality. Futhermore, this study proposes the possibility of development of various products using red ginseng marc.

Sasa borealis (bamboo) is a perennial medicinal plant and its leaves are utilized widely in Korea. In this study, effects of bamboo leaves (Sasa borealis) extract on the physical, textural, and sensory characteristics of cooked rice were examined. Four kinds of cooked rice were prepared with 0.0% (control), 0.2%, 0.3% or 0.4% of the extract (w/w). Moisture content of the cooked rice decreased with increasing amounts of extract. Color of the cooked rice was darkened gradually with increasing amounts of extract and appeared yellowish-brown. Among the four textural properties, only hardness increased significantly by the addition of the extract. Sensory evaluation was significantly different in terms of unique rice flavor, bamboo flavor, color, unique rice taste, bamboo taste, viscosity, hardness, adhesiveness, and coarseness among the control group and the group with 0.2%, 0.3%, and 0.4% of the extract; however, overall acceptancy was not significantly different among the four groups. In conclusion, concerning overall sensory evaluation, cooked rice with 0.2% bamboo leaves (Sasa borealis) extract showed the best result.

In this study, we investigated the anti-aging effect of Rosa damascena extract containing low molecular glycoprotein (RELG) converted from the high molecular glycoprotein by bioconversion. Free radical scavenging activities were performed by 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay. Antioxidant activities ($IC_{50}$) of RELG and the positive control ascorbic acid were $22.6{\mu}g/mL$ and $21.1{\mu}g/mL$, respectively. For skin cells, $15{\mu}g/mL$ RELG showed 28% antioxidant activity by inhibiting the production of active oxygen species induced by ultraviolet ray and hydrogen peroxide. $15{\mu}g/mL$ RELG prevented 10% the cell death caused by stress in human hair follicle dermal papilla cells (HDPC) and reduced 90% the production of active oxygen species. In addition, the glycoprotein showed not only anti-wrinkle effect but also moisturizing effect by 48% inhibition of matrix metallo proteinase-1 (MMP-1) production by ultraviolet stress and $10{\mu}g/mL$ RELG enhanced 10% neutral lipid synthesis with 44% aquaporin 3 (AQP3) expression, which is moisture factor. In conclusion, the RELG can be used as an anti-aging cosmetic material.

This study investigated the proximate compositions and sensory attributes of fresh and boiled soybean sprouts. The sensory attributes of cooked soybean sprouts (Kongnamulmuchim) were also assessed after boiling and seasoning. Proximate compositions were analyzed from the total sprout, cotyledon and hypocotyl without hair root. Soybean sprouts cultivated with four recommended soybean cultivars (Nokchae bean, Dawon bean, Seonam bean and Pungsannamul bean) in a lab and then used for analysis. Carbohydrate, protein, lipid and ash contents were lower, while moisture was lower, in the cotyledon than in the hypocotyl of fresh soybean sprouts, regardless of the bean type. Each soybean sprout showed different contents of chemical constituents in total sprout, cotyledon, and hypocotyl parts. Sensory attributes such as odor, flavor, and overall acceptability were evaluated. Each panels showed a response on a 9-point rating scale. The acceptability of fresh soybean sprouts was negatively correlated with beany and grassy tastes, but positively correlated with nutty and sweet tastes. The acceptability of boiled soybean sprouts was negatively correlated with beany and grassy flavors, and positively correlated with nutty odor and flavor. In addition, acceptability of cooked soybean sprouts (Kongnamulmuchim) was positively correlated with nutty and sweet flavors. The beany and grassy flavors limited acceptability of fresh soybean sprouts, whereas the prominence of nutty flavor might contribute to acceptance of boiled and cooked soybean sprouts.

The objective of this study is to investigate the effects of binding agents (carrageenan, transglutaminase, isolated soy protein, and wheat fiber) on the physicochemical and sensory characteristics of pork patties. One percent of each pork patty formulation was prepared with one of the following carrageenan, transglutaminase, isolated soy protein, or wheat fiber. The lightness and redness values of raw and cooked pork patties with carrageenan, isolated soy protein, and wheat fiber were significantly higher than the control (p<0.05). The water holding capacity, cooking yield, and moisture content of pork patties containing carrageenan, isolated soy protein, and wheat fiber were significantly higher than the control (p<0.05). However, the reduction in diameter and thickness was lower than the control (p<0.05). The protein and fat content of the pork patties were not significantly different between the control and patties with binding agent addition. The shear forces of the pork patties with transglutaminase, isolated soy protein, and wheat fiber were significantly higher than the control (p<0.05), while the pork patties with carrageenan were significantly lower than control (p<0.05). Among the sensory characteristics, tenderness, juiciness, and overall acceptability of pork patties containing carrageenan, transglutaminase, isolated soy protein, and wheat fiber were slightly higher, although there was no significant difference. Therefore, pork patties containing binding agents are useful in making new ground meat products with desirable quality characteristics.

This study was performed to evaluate the physiological and sensory properties of breads with different ratios of persimmon peel. Moisture activation of the bread loaf decreased as storage period increased with a smaller range of decrease in the persimmon peel added group. The amount of weight increased, and volume fell to some degree. Adding persimmon peel increased the RVA temperature, whereas maximum decreased. The color change during storage was due to the addition of control and 4% in group a values except there was no significant difference. As the result of measurements using a texture analyzer, hardness, springiness, cohesiveness, gumminess, and chewiness properties decreased. The sensory test results revealed that the 4% and 6% added persimmon peel bread was the best.

Cherry powder (obtained from ground fruit of Prunus serrulata L. var. spontanea Max. wils.), which is a natural functional material, was used in dark & white chocolate manufacturing at different concentrations from 0, 3, 6 and 9%. The moisture content of the cherry powder chocolate was significantly higher than the control; however, pH of chocolate was decreased significantly with the addition of cherry powder. Lightness (L), redness (a) and yellowness (b) of chocolate decreased as the concentration of cherry powder increased. The hardness was decreased with the increasing cherry powder. As the amount of cherry powder increased, total phenol content, DPPH radical scavenging activity increased. Color, smell, taste, hardness, texture and overall acceptability of chocolate were significantly higher in the chocolate containing 3% cherry power. Results suggest that the optimal amount of cherry powder added in the manufacturing of chocolate was 3% of the total weight.

This study was performed to evaluate the quality characteristics of sponge cakes in which erythritol were added in order to supply less calories. The sponge cakes were prepared with erythritol as replacement for sucrose with different ratios from 0 to 50%. The specific gravities of the batter with erythritol were higher than those of plain control batter and increased by substitution ratio. The cake volumes were also decreased by the replacement of sugar to erythritol. The addition of erythritol decreased moisture contents of the products. The crude ash and crude protein contents of the cakes were decreased by the substitution ratios. In texture analysis, hardness, gumminess, and brittleness of sponge cake were increased as increasing erythritol were added, while springiness was decreased. Cohesiveness showed no significant differences among the substitution ratios. In the sensory evaluations, the cakes with erythritol revealed high overall eating quality, especially the cakes with 30% erythritol were preferred for taste, odor, texture, and overall acceptability. The results show that the ingredients in sponge cakes were the most recommendable with the substitution ratio of 30% erythritol.

The feasibility of incorporating flaxseed powder up to 8% (w/w) as a value-added food ingredient in convenient food products was investigated using pound cake as a model system. The moisture content, volume, height, and hardness of cakes decreased significantly with increasing levels of flaxseed powder (P<0.05). On the other hand, baking loss increased with higher flaxseed powder in the formulation (P<0.05). Lightness and yellowness decreased, whereas redness increased significantly (P<0.05). 1,1-Diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2'-azino-bis-3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulphonic acid (ABTS) radical scavenging activities increased significantly (P<0.05), and they were well correlated. The consumer acceptance test indicated that addition of 2% flaxseed powder had the most favorable effect on consumer preferences in general. Based on the overall observation, pound cakes with 2% flaxseed powder is recommended to take advantage of its functional properties without sacrificing consumer acceptability.

The feasibility of incorporating Cynanchi wilfordii powder as a value-added food ingredient in convenient food products was investigated using yanggaeng as a model system. C. wilfordii powder was incorporated into yanggaeng at 0, 2, 4, 6, and 8% weight amounts based on total weight of cooked white bean and C. wilfordii powder. pH increased significantly, and moisture content ranged from 45.40% to 47.40% with increasing levels of C. wilfordii powder (P<0.05). In terms of color, lightness, redness, and yellowness increased significantly (P<0.05) with increasing levels of C. wilfordii powder. Hardness significantly decreased with higher amounts of C. wilfordii powder (P<0.05). Total polyphenol content and DPPH radical scavenging activity were significantly influenced by addition of C. wilfordii powder, and they increased significantly as C. wilfordii powder concentration increased (P<0.05). Finally, consumer acceptance test indicated that the highest levels of C. wilfordii powder (8%, w/w) had considerable adverse effects on consumer preferences in general. In contrast, yanggaengs with moderate levels of C. wilfordii powder (2%, w/w) are recommended (with respect to overall preference score) to take advantage of the functional properties of C. wilfordii powder without sacrificing consumer acceptability.
