This study was conducted to develop an optimal composite recipe of nutritional cookies containing oak mushroom (Lentinus edodes) powder that has a high preference score. Oak mushroom(Lentinus edodes) is considered a significantly wholesome food. In addition, the dried oak mushroom(Lentinus edodes) has a better flavor and more nutrients than the fresh oak mushroom since vitamins are activated during the drying process. Wheat flour was partially substituted with Lentinus edodes powder to reduce its content. The optimal sensory composite recipe was determined by making iced cookies which have the advantage of long storage, at 3 concentrations of Lentinus edodes powder, yellow sugar and butter, using the central composite design. In addition, the mixing condition of Lentinus edodes powder cookies was optimized by subjecting the cookies to a sensory evaluation and instrumental analysis using the response surface methodology(RSM). The effects of the addition of the three variables on the quality of Lentinus edodes cookies were assessed in terms of texture, color, spread ratio and sensory evaluation. The results of the sensory evaluation produced very significant values for color, appearance, texture, overall quality(p<0.05), flavor(p<0.01) and the results of instrumental analysis showed significant values in lightness(p<0.05), spread ratio, hardness(p<0.01). As a result, the optimal sensory ratio of Lentinus edodes cookies was determined to be Lentinus edodes powder 10.83g, yellow sugar 61.89 g, and butter 120.0 g.

Background: The Korean government launched a project in 2008, where the amount of rice used as raw ingredient in rice-based foods in 2012 was planned to increase up to 10% (470,000 ton) of the total rice production through developing various new rice-based processed foods and their commercial manufacturing technology. Among the four major rice-based processed foods, rice cakes and noodles need rice flour as their main raw ingredient. Technology in rice flour utilization and manufacturing is far behind than the technology pertinent to wheat flour in many subject areas. Purpose: This review aims to provide information on rice flour utilization and manufacturing with some fundamental subjects in the area of size reduction. Results: A variety of food items including bread, noodle, cake, cookie, muffin, pre-mix, beverage, vinegar, surimi, and artificial meat have found rice flour as their raw ingredient. Rice bread made out of 100% rice flour has been developed and is now sold in retail stores. Various noodle products made from rice flour are also on the market. Issues on product definition and labeling regulation about rice flour content of the products were explored. Generalized grinding equations available in the literature were seldom used in practice; instead, it has been a general practice to develop empirical equations from test milling data. Introductory remarks on three popular particle size measurement methods (sieving, Coulter counter, light diffraction) were explained. Mathematical expressions frequently used to describe particle size distribution and to correlate cumulative quantity of particles with particle size were represented. Milling methods used in producing rice flour were described along with their advantages and disadvantages. Because of their profound effect on functional properties of the rice flour, four rice flour milling equipments used at both laboratory experiments and commercial manufacturing plants were discussed.

This study was performed to identify sensory characteristics of the Korean traditional cookie Yakgwa prepared by partially replacing wheat flour with glutinous rice flour as well as to conduct cross-cultural comparison of the sensory descriptions of the Yakgwa sample set between Korea and Chinese panelists. Korean and Chinese highly trained panelists identified 22 sensory attributes by descriptive analysis. The addition of glutinous rice flour decreased soybean oil odor, moistness, oiliness and increased hardness, crispness of the Yakgwa samples. In the consumer test, consumers from Korea (n=89) and China (n=56) participated. Yakgwa with 50% glutinous rice flour had a significantly higher overall acceptability than other the Yakgwa samples by Korean and Chinese consumers.

Buckwheat often causes severe allergic reactions in sensitive people. One of the major allergenic proteins in common buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum) has been found to be a BW10KD protein. In this study, we developed a PCR method to detect buckwheat ingredients in food using primers corresponding to the allergenic BW10KD gene. Five pairs of oligonucleotide primers successfully enabled PCR amplification of the specific regions of the genomic BW10KD DNA from buckwheat, but no amplification from seven other cereals and beans (barley, wheat, German millet, African millet, soybean, red bean, and black bean). The proposed PCR method was applied to analyze 12 processed foods (buckwheat flour, buckwheat noodle, buckwheat jelly, wheat noodle, instant noodle, black sesame gruels, sunsik, cookie, misutkaru, and three kinds of cereal); among them, only three samples including buckwheat flour, buckwheat noodle and buckwheat jelly showed a positive reaction to the detection. This PCR method was able to detect as little as 1 ng of common buckwheat DNA. This rapid and specific PCR method would be applicable to detect allergenic buckwheat ingredients in food.

The quality and sensory characteristics of Misutkarus, made from immature-whole green rice (IWGR) and barley (IWGB), and their cookies were assessed. Misutkarus of IWGR and IWGB showed a significantly higher water absorption index and viscosity, as well as higher hydrolysis rate by ${\alpha}$-amylase, resulting in higher amount of reducing sugar than those of mature brown rice and barley. The cookies made with 30% Misutkarus of IWGR and IWGB showed harder texture, lower spread ratio, darker and more reddish color than cookies with 100% wheat flour (control). For sensory evaluation, the beverage was prepared by mixing Misutkarus, milk and honey, and the beverages of IWGR and IWGB could not provide acceptable sensory quality due to reduced nutty taste and stronger greenish aroma. However, when added to prepare cookies, 30% Misutkarus of IWGB imparted the favorable taste, aroma, texture and overall preference by presenting no significantly different sensory characteristics with wheat flour.

I. Subject of the study A study on the nutritive value and utilization of powdered seaweeds. II. Purpose and Importance of the study A. In Korea the shortage of food will be inevitable by the rapidly growing population. It will be very important study to develop a new food from the seaweeds which were not used hitherto for human consumption. B. The several kinds of seaweeds have been used by man in Korea mainly as side-dishes. However, a properly powdered seaweed will enable itself to be a good supplement or mixture to certain cereal flours. C. By adding the powdered seaweed to any cereals which have long been staple foods in this country the two fold benefits; saving of cereals and change of dietary pattern, will be secured. III. Objects and scope of the study A. Objects of the study The objects will come under four items. 1. To develop a powdered seaweed as a new food from the seaweeds which have been not used for human consumption. 2. To evaluate the nutritional quality of the products the analysis for chemical composition and animal feeding experiment will be conducted. 3. Experimental cocking and accepability test will be conducted for the powdered products to evaluate the value as food stuff. 4. Sanitary test and also economical analysis will be conducted for the powdered products. B. Scope of the study 1. Production of seaweed powders Sargassum fulvellum growing in eastern coast and Sargassum patens C.A. in southern coast were used as the material for the powders. These algae, which have been not used for human consumption, were pulverized through the processes of washing, drying, pulverization, etc. 2. Nutritional experiments a. Chemical composition Proximate components (water, protein, fat, cellulose, sugar, ash, salt), minerals (calcium, phosphorus, iron, iodine), vitamins (A, $B_1,\;B_2$ niacin, C) and amino acids were analyzed for the seaweed powders. b. Animal feeding experiment Weaning 160 rats (80 male and 80 female rats) were used as experimental animals, dividing them into 16 groups, 10 rats each group. Each group was fed for 12 weeks on cereal diet (Wheat flour, rice powder, barley powder, potato powder, corn flour) with the supplementary levels of 5%, 10%, 15%, 20% and 30% of the seaweed powder. After the feeding the growth, feed efficiency ratio, protain efficiency ratio and ,organs weights were checked and urine analysis, feces analysis and serum analysis were also conducted. 3. Experimental cooking and acceptability test a. Several basic studies were conducted to find the characteristics of the seaweed powder. b. 17 kinds of Korean dishes and 9 kinds of foreign dishes were prepared with cereal flours (wheat, rice, barley, potato, corn) with the supplementary levels of 5%, 10%, 15%, 20% and 30% of the seaweed powder. c. Acceptability test for the dishes was conducted according to plank's Form. 4. Sanitary test The heavy metals (Cd, Pb, As, Hg) in the seaweed powders were determined. 5. Economical analysis The retail price of the seaweed powder was compared with those of other cereals in the market. And also economical analysis was made from the nutritional point of view, calculating the body weight gained in grams per unit price of each feeding diet. IV. Results of the study and the suggestion for application A. Chemical composition 1. There is no any big difference in proximate components between powders of Sargassum fulvellum in eastern coast and Sargassum patens C.A. in southern coast. Seasonal difference is also not significant. Higher levels of protein, cellulose, ash and salt were found in the powders compared with common cereal foods. 2. The levels of calcium (Ca) and iron (Fe) in the powders were significantly higher than common cereal foods and also rich in iodine (I). Existence of vitamin A and vitamin C in the Powders is different point from cereal foods. Vitamin $B_1\;and\;B_2$ are also relatively rich in the powders.'Vitamin A in ·Sargassum fulvellum is high and the levels of some minerals and vitamins are seemed4 to be some influenced by seasons. 3. In the amino acid composition methionine, isoleucine, Iysine and valine are limiting amino acids. The protein qualities of Sargassum fulvellum and Sargassum patens C.A. are seemed to be .almost same and generally ·good. Seasonal difference in amino acid composition was found. B. Animal feeding experiment 1. The best growth was found at.10% supplemental level of the seaweed Powder and lower growth rate was shown at 30% level. 2. It was shown that 15% supplemental level of the Seaweed powder seems to fulfil, to some extent the mineral requirement of the animals. 3. No any changes were found in organs development except that, in kidney, there found decreasing in weight by increasing the supplemental level of the seaweed powder. 4. There is no any significant changes in nitrogen retention, serum cholesterol, serum calcium and urinary calcium in each supplemental level of the seaweed powder. 5. In animal feeding experiment it was concluded that $5%{\sim}15%$ levels supplementation of the seaweed powder are possible. C. Experimental cooking and acceptability test 1. The seaweed powder showed to be utilized more excellently in foreign cookings than in Korean cookings. Higher supplemental level of seaweed was passible in foreign cookings. 2. Hae-Jo-Kang and Jeon-Byung were more excellent than Song-Pyun, wheat cake, Soo-Je-Bee and wheat noodle. Hae-Je-Kang was excellent in its quality even as high as 5% supplemental level. 3. The higher levels of supplementation were used the more sticky cooking products were obtained. Song-Pyun and wheat cake were palatable and lustrous in 2% supplementation level. 4. In drop cookie the higher levels of supplementation, the more crisp product was obtained, compared with other cookies. 5. Corn cake, thin rice gruel, rice gruel and potato Jeon-Byung were more excellent in their quality than potato Man-Doo and potato noodle. Corn cake, thin rice gruel and rice gruel were excellent even as high as 5% supplementation level. 6. In several cooking Porducts some seaweed-oder was perceived in case of 3% or more levels of supplementation. This may be much diminished by the use of proper condiments. D. Sanitary test It seems that there is no any heavy metals (Cd, Pb, As, Hg) problem in these seaweed Powders in case these Powders are used as supplements to any cereal flours E. Economical analysis The price of the seaweed powder is lower than those of other cereals and that may be more lowered when mass production of the seaweed powder is made in future. The supplement of the seaweed powder to any cereals is also economical with the criterion of animal growth rate. F. It is recommended that these seaweed powders should be developed and used as supplement to any cereal flours or used as other food material. By doing so, both saving of cereals and improvement of individual's nutrition will greatly be achieved. It is also recommended that the feeding experiment for men would be conducted in future.

The four varieties of Korean soybeans were allowed to undergo natural fermentation for seven days at ambient temperature. The average pH of the product was 3.93 and titratable acidity was 1.94%. For all varieties of soybeans the content of riboflavin increased from 98 to $309.4{\mu}g/100g$ dry-matter, relative nutritive value from 78.66 to 94.59% and available lysine from 6.56 to 7.38 mg/gN, respectively. During fermentation, the activities of protease and lipase increased, while lipoxygenase and trypsin inhibitor activity decreased markedly. The capacity of water sorption of fermented soybean flour was increased with progress of proteolysis during fermentation. The cookie and noodle prepared with 20:80 mixture of fermented soybean flour and wheat flour were in the 'like' category, but it was desirable to neutralize the sour taste produced by fermentation. Among five kinds of products prepared from the fermented soybean flour pan cake was liked most by rural consumers.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the quality characteristics of turmeric powder Dasik, a Korean traditional cookie, prepared by different additions of turmeric powder(0%, 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%). The result of the study is as follows. As the level of turmeric powder in the formulation increased, the moisture contents of the samples increased. As the content of the turmeric powder increased, the L-values of the turmeric powder Dasik significantly decreased, and the a- and b-values also significantly increased. Also, the hardness, gumminess, springiness, cohesiveness and chewiness of the turmeric powder Dasik increased, whereas its adhesiveness decreased as the amount of turmeric powder increased. The sensory evaluation results showed that the 2% turmeric powder sample showed the highest preference scores; therefore, the 2% turmeric powder Dasik prepared with 98g of flour, 2g of turmeric powder, and 80g of honey was chosen as the most preferred product. It is expected that the development of Dasik added with functional food such as turmeric powder can influence the use of turmeric and increase the consumption of Korean traditional cookies.

The feasibility of incorporating black sesame powder (BSP) as a value-added food ingredient into bakery products was investigated using a cookie model system. BSP was incorporated into cookies at different content: 0%, 2%, 4%, 6%, and 8% (w/w) based on the total weight of wheat flour. The spread ratio and loss rate of cookies increased significantly with increasing levels of BSP (P<0.05). All color characteristics, including lightness ($L^*$), redness ($a^*$), and yellowness ($b^*$), decreased with a higher amount of BSP. Use of BSP significantly reduced the hardness of cookies (P<0.05), but no significant differences were found between the control and 2%, 4%, and 6% samples (P>0.05). 2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl and 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) radical scavenging activities increased significantly (P<0.05). The consumer acceptance test indicated that addition of BSP up to 4% had a favorable effect on consumer preferences. Overall, cookies containing 4% BSP will add the advantage of the functional properties of BSP maintaining the consumer acceptability.

Antioxidative capacities of Stachys sieboldii MIQ and 6-year-old ginseng powder were assessed after extraction with 80% ethanol, and their addition effects on quality characteristics of cookies were determined. Stachys sieboldii MIQ showed 3.12-fold higher total phenol content (TPC) and higher antioxidative capacities than ginseng based on higher values of 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging capacity, ferric reducing antioxidant capacity, and Trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity (P<0.05). The 80% ethanol extract was then fractionated with $H_2O$ (Fr. I), 30% (II), 50% (III), 70% (IV), and 100% ethanol (V). Fractions of Stachys sieboldii MIQ extract showed 2.2-fold (Fr. I)~6.1-fold (III) higher TPC and higher antioxidative capacities than ginseng extract fractions. TPC was in the order of fractions III> II> I> IV> V for Stachys sieboldii MIQ extract while in the order of fractions I~III> IV~V for ginseng extract, assuming that Stachys sieboldii MIQ contained more phenolic compounds with higher polarity than ginseng. Addition of 5% and 10% Stachys sieboldii MIQ and ginseng powder increased spread ratio in cookies compared to 100% wheat flour, and 10% addition of Stachys sieboldii MIQ resulted in the darkest and most reddish cookies. In the sensory evaluation, cookies with 5% and 10% Stachys sieboldii MIQ received higher scores for taste preference and higher overall acceptability than ginseng or control cookies. Therefore, powder of Stachys sieboldii MIQ could impart more favorable sensory characteristics as well as higher antioxidative capacity than ginseng in bakery products.
