This study was performed to evaluate the quality characteristics and antioxidative activities of cookies prepared with different amounts of purple sweet potato powder. Moisture and crude ash contents were lowest in the control group followed in order by the 10%, 20%, and 30% purple sweet potato powder addition groups. The lightness and yellowness values measured by Hunter color system decreased based on the amount of purple sweet potato powder concentration added to cookies. The total phenolic compound and anthocyanin contents were the highest in 30% purple sweet potato powder added cookies. The DPPH radical scavenging activity of 30% purple sweet potato powder added cookies showed the highest values among groups. In the sensory evaluation, the scores for taste, texture and overall preference were significantly highest in cookies with 10% and 20% purple sweet potato powder. Considering the scores of antioxidant activity and sensory evaluation, the concentration of between 10% and 20% addition of purple sweet potato powder would be ideal for development of functional cookies.

The aim of this study was to use purple sweet potato powder to develop a recipe for a nutritional cookie with an optimal composition of ingredients and texture, in order to acquire strong preference responses by all age groups in sensory tests. Wheat flour was partially substituted with purple sweet potato powder to reduce the wheat flour content of the cookies. Measurements were made and analyzed according to the Response Surface Methodology technique, which showed 16 experimental points including 3 replicates for the purple sweet potato powder, sugar, and butter. The compositional and functional properties of the sample were measured, and the values obtained were applied to a mathematical model. A canonical form and perturbation plot showed the influence of each ingredient on the final product mixture. The results of sensory evaluations showed very significant values for flavor (P<0.0071), texture (P<0.0306), taste (P<0.0190), and overall quality (P<0.0142). Instrumental analysis showed significant values for hardness (P<0.0027), yellowness (P<0.0061) and spread ratio (P<0.0001). The optimal compositional ratios were determined to be 21.75 g for the purple sweet potato powder, 37.05 g for the sugar, and 60.59 g for the butter.

Cookies were prepared by adding different levels (0, 5, 10, 15, and 20%) of purple sweet potato powder (PSPP) and their physicochemical and sensory characteristics were examined. With increase of the PSPP level, moisture content decreased and ash content increased (p<0.05). The spread factor of control cookies was higher than that of cookies containing PSPP. The incorporation of PSPP in cookies lowered the lightness and yellowness but increased redness (p<0.05). Texture measurement showed that the addition of PSPP did not affect the hardness of cookies. Results of acceptance test revealed that overall acceptability score was not significantly different between the control and the PSPP added cookies. Therefore, it is suggested that PSPP can be incorporated into cookies up to 20% without affecting the cookie quality. Total polyphenol content and antioxidant activity were assessed to examine the functionality of cookies. In addition, substitution of wheat flour with PSPP yielded cookies with higher polyphenol content and antioxidative activity (p<0.05). The peroxide value (POV) and acid value increased during storage at $60^{\circ}C$ for 80 days. The POV was significantly lower in cookies containing PSPP than the control cookies, suggesting that the addition of PSPP deterred the lipid oxidation (p<0.05).
