Purpose: This study examined the effect of different gluten-free flours on the properties of cookies. Methods: Each gluten-free cookie was made from wheat, brown rice, buckwheat, corn, sorghum, teff, or black rice. Results: Baking loss was highest on sorghum (18.85%) and the lowest on teff (12.73%). The spread factor was highest on brown rice (8.20) and lowest on corn (7.60). The density was similar in all samples (1 g/mL). pH was the highest on buckwheat (6.45) and lowest on wheat (5.96). While L-value, a-value and b-value were lowest on black rice, the ${\Delta}E-value$ was the highest on black rice (35.57). The hardness was highest on wheat (30.28 N) and lowest on teff (14.87 N). The polyphenol and flavonoid content was the highest on buckwheat ($25.97{\mu}g\;GAE/mg$) and the flavonoid content was the highest on black rice ($24.33{\mu}g\;QE/mg$). The DPPH IC50 value was highest on wheat ($352.41{\mu}g/mL$) and lowest on black rice ($33.59{\mu}g/mL$). The ABTS $IC_{50}$ value was highest on wheat ($349.30{\mu}g/mL$) and lowest on black rice ($57.72{\mu}g/mL$). The results of the sensory properties revealed color to be highest on corn (7.33). The top grain was similar in all the samples (5.43-6.57). Flavor was highest on black rice and teff (6.43-6.48). The softness was the highest on wheat, sorghum, teff, and black rice (6.48-7.05). Sweetness was highest on sorghum, teff, and black rice (6.19-6.71). The overall preference also was highest on sorghum, teff, and black rice (6.14-6.48). Conclusion: Gluten-free flours can improve the quality characteristics and antioxidant activities of cookies.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to examine whether plasma lipid profiles are affected differently by snack kinds with equal calorific values. SUBJECTS/METHODS: We compared a Korean traditional confectionery (dasik) with Western confectionery (cookie) in this regard. Controlled cross-over study consisted of two 3-week snack intake phases and for separating, a 2-week washout period (3-2-3) was carried out with 30 healthy women aged between 40-59 years old. Brown rice based Korean traditional confectionery and wheat flour based Western confectionery were used. The participants consumed either dasik or cookie every day for 3 weeks, providing 93 kcal a day. RESULTS: The total cholesterol (TC) in the dasik group had decreased significantly after 3 weeks (P < 0.05). Furthermore, in the dasik group, reduction in TC and low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol were greater than those in the cookie group (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Prioritizing functional snacks like dasik improves plasma lipid profiles; this may be useful information for individuals who cannot refrain from snacking.

Flour characteristics of Korean winter wheat grown in Suwon in 1997 and 1998, and in Suwon and Deokso in 1998 were evaluated. Korean winter wheat cultivars were significantly influenced by years and locations in flour properties such as ash content, protein content, damaged starch content, starch swelling volume and power. Protein content was highly correlated with starch damage and alkaline water retention capacity. There were highly significant correlations between mixing time of mixograph and SDS sedimentation volume. Swelling properties of flour and starch were highly correlated with pasting properties of flour and starch, respectively. Compared to commercial flours for baking, Alchanmil, Gobunmil, Keumkangmil and Tapdongmil showed similar protein content, SOS sedimentation volume and mixograph mixing time. Eunpamil, Geurumil, Olgeurumil, Suwon 258, Suwon 261, Suwon 265, Suwon 275, Suwon 276, Suwon 277, Suwon 278 and Urimil had similar values to commercial noodle flours in SDS sedimentation volume. Alchanmil, Olgeurumil, Suwon 274, Suwon 275, Suwon 276 and Urimil showed higher swelling and pasting properties than the others. Chokwang, Olgeurumil, Suwon 277 and Urimil were similar to commercial cookie flours. Friabilin-absence lines showed higher protein content and starch damage than those of friabilin-presence lines. Absence lines of 1D$\times$2.2 + 1Dy12 subunit in high molecular weight glutenin subunits showed higher SDS sedimentation volume and mixing time of mixograph than those of presence lines.

The effects of baking with broccoli powder on the consumer perception and sensory characteristics were investigated using a model system of cookies incorporated with broccoli powder as a value-added food ingredient. Broccoli powder was incorporated into cookie dough at 5 levels (0%, 1%, 2%, 3%, and 4%, w/w) by replacing equivalent amount of wheat flour of the cookie dough. After aging and sheeting, cookies were baked at $170^{\circ}C$ for 8 min in an oven. The baked cookies were cooled to room temperature for 1 hour and packed in airtight bags prior to all measurements. Control received the most favorable mean score, which was not significantly different from samples with 1% broccoli powder for color preference (p>0.05). Results of the consumer preference on taste showed a similar trend. Consumers did not find any significant differences on aftertaste and flavor among samples prepared by replacing wheat flour with up to 2% broccoli powder (p>0.05). Overall, incorporation of 1% broccoli powder in the formulation would result in the most favorable broccoli cookies for the consumers without sacrificing the sensory qualities, while still taking advantages of health benefits of broccoli. Correlation analysis indicated that broccoli powder concentration was significantly negatively correlated with the consumer preference for color, taste, aftertaste, flavor, overall acceptability and positively correlated with sensory color, taste, and flavor (p<0.05). Consumers' color, taste, aftertaste, and flavor were well correlated with the overall acceptability (p<0.05). Sensory intensity results are also presented.

Protein content and amino acid composition of three prospective Korean wheat varieties (Youngkwang, Wonkwang and Chokwang) were studied from the viewpoint of baking performance. 1. Protein contents of Korean varieties were Less than 10% which were relatively lower than the U. S. baking standard. These levels were considered insuffcient for best baking performance. 2. Compared to U. S. baking standard, Korean wheat varieties showed slightly lower level of glutamic acid, which is considered to play an important role in baking performance of flour. Approximately 25% decrease in glutamic acid content was observed in Korean varieties when the absolute amount of glutamic acid per unit sample size was compared. 3. Korean wheat varieties showed similar levels of proline and cystine, slightly higher levels of lysine, ammonia and aspartic acid; and slightly lower level of essential amino acids compared to the U. S. baking standard. 4. Protein content and amino acid composition of Korean wheat varieties were considered to be intermediate of U. S. baking and cookie standards. From this viewpoint, Youngkwang showed the greatest potential for best baking performance among Korean varieties.

This study was conducted to develop a recipe for a nutritional cookie containing Danggue powder, and to achieve an optimal ingredient composition and texture that would appeal to consumers of all ages. To reduce its content, wheat flour was partially substituted with Danggue in the formulation. Response surface methodology was used to analyze the measured results and showed 16 experimental points, including 2 replicates for the Danggue powder, brown sugar, and butter ingredients. The compositional and functional properties were measured, and these values were applied to a mathematical model. A canonical form and perturbation plot showed the influence of each ingredient on the final product. The sensory evaluation results indicated significant differences between samples for color (p<0.01), flavor (p<0.01), texture (p<0.05), and overall quality (p<0.05). As a result, the optimal ingredient levels for sensory quality were determined as 4.83 g of Danggue powder, 70.46 g of brown sugar, and 86.08 g of butter.

Purpose: The study investigated the quality characteristics of cookies prepared 0, 10, 20 and 30% burdock (Arctium lappa L.) powder. Methods: Cookies were manufactured with 0%, 10%, 20%, and 30% wheat flour substituted for burdock powder. Results: Density of the dough showed no significant differences with increasing amount of burdock powder, whereas pH of the dough decreased with increasing burdock powder content. The pH of cookies decreased with increasing burdock powder content, whereas $^{\circ}brix$ of cookies increased with burdock powder content. The moisture contents of cookies increased with increasing burdock powder content. The spreadability of cookies decreased with increasing burdock powder content. The L-value of cookies decreased, a-value increased, and b-value decreased with increasing burdock powder content. The hardness of cookies decreased with increasing burdock powder content. Total polyphenol contents and DPPH radical scavenging activity increased with increasing burdock powder content (p<0.05). In the sensory evaluation, appearance, color, flavor, and texture were highest in the control group, whereas sweet taste and savory taste were highest in the added group. For overall acceptance of cookies, 10% burdock powder cookies showed higher values than the control and other samples. Conclusion: Results suggest that cookies manufactured with 10% burdock powder are the most optimal product.

Freeze-dried broccoli powder was incorporated into cookie dough at 5 levels (0, 1, 2, 3, and 4%, w/w) by replacing equivalent amount of wheat flour of the cookie dough. After aging and sheeting, cookies were baked at 170${^{\circ}C}$ for 8 min in an oven. The baked cookies were cooled to room temperature for 1 hr and packed in airtight bags prior to all measurements. The pH and moisture content were ranged 6.74-6.90 and 2.67-4.12% (wet basis) depending on the broccoli powder level, respectively. Lightness (L$^{\ast}$-value), redness (a$^{\ast}$-value), and hardness decreased while yellowness (b$^{\ast}$-value) increased significantly as the broccoli powder content increased (p<0.05). Spread factor of the control was significantly lower than that of samples containing broccoli powder regardless of the concentration (p<0.05) and increased significantly with increase in broccoli powder content (p<0.05). The broccoli concentration correlated significantly with most of properties except for pH and spread factor (p<0.05 or p<0.01). Hardness correlated negatively with moisture content (p<0.05) but correlated positively with spread factor (p<0.01).

Effect of baking on the physicochemical properties including pH, moisture content, hardness, color, and spread factor was investigated using a model system of cookies incorporated with strawberry powder as a value-added food ingredient. Strawberry powder was incorporated into cookie dough at 4 levels (0, 2, 4, and 6% w/w) by replacing equivalent amount of wheat flour of the cookie dough. After aging and sheeting, cookies were baked at 170$^{\circ}C$ for 15 min in an oven. The baked cookies were cooled to room temperature for 1 hr and packed in airtight bags prior to all measurements. The pH of dough and hardness of cookies decreased significantly with increase in strawberry powder content (p<0.05). Moisture content of the dough was not significantly affected by strawberry powder but mean values tended to increase as the strawberry powder content increased. Lightness (L$^{*}$-value) and yellowness (b$^{*}$-value) significantly decreased as the strawberry powder content increased; on the other hand, redness (a$^{*}$-value) increased significantly (p<0.05). Spread factor also increased significantly as the strawberry content increased in the formulation (p<0.05). Finally, correlation analysis indicated that level of strawberry powder incorporation was well-correlated with all the physicochemical properties studied. It is also noted that there was a significant positive correlation between the moisture content of dough and spread factor (p<0.05).

Saururus chinensis powder was added into cookie dough at 5 levels (0%, 1.5%, 3%, 4.5%, and 6%) by partially replacing equivalent amount of wheat flour in cookie formulation, and cookies thus made were evaluated for physicochemical properties and sensory quality by a small semi-trained panel. Thickness and density of cookies increased significantly with increase in Saururus chinensis powder content (p<0.05); however, those of dough were not affected (p<0.05). The pH of both dough and cookies decreased significantly as the level of Saururus chinensis powder increased (p<0.05). Lightness and yellowness decreased significantly as the Saururus chinensis powder content increased while redness increased significantly (p<0.05). Spread factor decreased with the powder addition (p<0.05). Sensory evaluation indicated that samples with higher amount of the powder received higher scores in terms of taste, flavor, and color but not for hardness (p<0.05). Finally, correlation analysis showed that level of Saururus chinensis powder incorporation was well-correlated with most of the physicochemical properties and sensory attributes studied.
