The feasibility of incorporating cinnamon as a value-added food ingredient in bakery food products was investigated using sponge cakes as a model system. Cinnamon powder was incorporated into sponge cakes at 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4% weight amounts, based on the total weight of wheat flour. Cake qualities, such as pH, moisture content, specific volume, and baking loss, decreased significantly with increasing levels of cinnamon powder added (p<0.05). In terms of color, lightness and yellowness decreased, with increasing levels of cinnamon powder. Redness significantly increased for crumb, but decreased for crust (p<0.05) with increasing levels of cinnamon powder. Hardness also significantly increased (p<0.05), while total polyphenol content significantly increased, up to a 2% addition of cinnamon powder, and gradually increased afterwards. Finally, the consumer acceptance test has indicated that higher levels of cinnamon incorporation (2% or higher, w/w) have a considerable adverse effect on consumer preferences in all attributes. In contrast, sponges cakes with a minimal level of cinnamon powder (1%, w/w) are recommended for taking advantage of the functional properties of cinnamon powder without sacrificing consumer acceptability.

This study investigated quality characteristics of wet noodles with addition of paprika powder prepared by different cultivars, freeze dried Special paprika powder (FDSP) and freeze dried Fiesta paprika powder (FDFP) at 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0% based on flour source, respectively. The wet noodles containing paprika powder exhibited higher values for cooked weight, volume, water absorption, and turbidity. When the amount of FDSP increased, the Hunter L (lightness) value of cooked noodles decreased but a (redness) value and b (yellowness) value increased. When the amount of FDFP increased, the Hunter L (lightness) and a (redness) value of cooked noodles decreased but b (yellowness) value increased. From textural properties measured by a texture analyzer, the noodles with paprika powder were significantly lower in hardness, cohesiveness, springiness, gumminess and chewiness than those of 100% wheat noodle. The results of sensory evaluation of cooked noodles containing paprika powder indicated that the cooked noodles with 1.0% paprika powder showed the highest value.

To develop health food using old pumpkin, freeze-dried old pumpkin powders were added into wheat flour in the ratio of 0, 1, 2, 4, and 8% and the quality characteristics of the baked products were investigated. Moisture content and water activity of breads with added pumpkin powders were raised from 42.22 and 0.528 in 1% addition ratio to 0.576 and 44.39% in 9% addition ratio compared to 40.69% and 0.521 in the bread of non-added, respectively and these increases were due to the effect of the added pumpkin powders. Water holding capacity of the added pumpkin powders raised the weight of the breads while the specific volume was decreased at that time. In the Hunter's color values, as the pumpkin powders content increased, 'L' and 'a' values were decreased while 'b' value was increased from ＋29.44 in 1% addition ratio to ＋45.58 in 8% addition ratio of freeze-dried old pumpkin powders compared to ＋12.65 in the bread of non-added. In the texture properties, hardness, fracturability, springiness, cohesiveness, gumminess and chewiness were increased by the added content of pumpkin powders hardness to 561 g in the bread withof 8% added pumpkin powders from 248 g in the bread of non-added. Judging from texture, taste and overall acceptability of the product, the recommended substitution level for freeze-dried old pumpkin powders in bread was 4% or less

The cultivation of Poria cocos on tree-stumps and logs, was first described at the beginning of the 13th century. Poria cocos has been used for medicinal purposes to treat physical and mental recuperation, promote diuresis, forgetfulness and physical weakening. The artificial cultivation techniques of P. cocos was reported in China in 1957. are reported. The basic study on morphological characteristics and artificial cultivation method of Poria cocos with pine tree log buried under ground were initiated by Rural Development Administration. To widen the utilization of harvested sclerotia of Poria cocos as new food stuffs, powder of the sclerotia were used for producing new soft drinks and supplemented to wheat flour to make functional bread. Last 30 years, the supply of P. cocos in Korea through cultivation could not meet the domestic demand, Korea collected P. cocos in the mountainous areas and also import the sclerotia from China. Since the domestic demand of the sclerotia in China increased, the price of imported sclerotia of P. cocos also increased. Recently, high-quality and high-yielding cultivation methods were developed in Gyeongbuk Agricultural Research and Extension Services (GARES). The new cultivation methods of P. cocos developed by GARES was to change traditional cultivation method from under ground to above ground cultivation house, and shortened cultivation period by half, and improved the quality of the sclerotia. Therefore, it is suggested that advanced new technology for production of sclerotia of P. cocos from under ground and above ground must be developed for fullfil the domestic demand of the sclerotia.

In this experiment, two inclusion levels (15 and 30% of diets, as-fed basis) of brown rice (BR) were tested against a control diet with 0% BR (51% wheat flour of diet). Six female Maltese (8~9 months age, initial mean body weight of $2.8{\pm}0.3$ kg) were assigned to treatments in replicated $3{\times}3$ Latin square design. Total tract digestibilities of DM, OM, acid hydrolyzed fat, CP and gross energy by dogs fed experimental diets responded quadratically (P<0.01 or <0.05) to BR inclusion levels. Similarly, quadratic responses (P<0.001, P=0.015) were observed for digestible energy and metabolizable energy values, respectively. Wet and dry fecal output also exhibited quadratic responses (P=0.006, P=0.014, respectively) but no differences were observed between control and BR 30% diets. Linear (P=0.008) effect was observed for fecal score in dogs fed BR, and fecal ammonia concentration increased linearly (P=0.001) in response to increasing BR inclusion levels. It seems that the increase in fecal ammonia concentration may be partially related to the decrease tendency (P=0.07) in short-chain fatty acid concentration. In this experiment, inclusion of BR in dog diet did not result in pronounced changes in the digestibility but in fecal score. Although inclusion of BR in diets showed profound positive effect on fecal score, it is confounded by the high inclusion level of poultry offal meal.

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.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the quality characteristics of sponge cake with broccoli (Brassica oleracea var. italica Plenck) powder. Broccoli powder was mixed with wheat flour at various ratio (3, 5, 7, 9%, w/w) for physical and sensory evaluations. The specific gravity of bread dough increased with added broccoli powder. The moisture of the sponge cakes with added broccoli powder was higher than that of control. In the crumb color values, lightness (L) and redness (a) decreased upon broccoli powder addition, whereas yellowness (b) significantly increased (p<0.05). In the texture analysis hardness, cohesiveness, springiness and gumminess were reduced by addition of broccoli powder. When we evaluated the sensory characteristics of five subareas (color, flavor, texture, taste, and overall acceptability), 7% broccoli sponge cake showed the highest sensory properties except for flavor (p<0.05). Therefore, the results suggested that 7% broccoli sponge cake could be helpful in improving physical quality and taste.

This study evaluated the microbial quality of dried and powdered foods during storage with increased humidity because of climate change. Five types of dried and powdered foods (dried shredded squid, wheat flour, Sunsik, red pepper powder, and roasted sesame seed) were stored at different relative humidities (RH 23%, 43%, 68%, 85%, and 100%) and changes in water activity and microbial populations were measured during storage at $35^{\circ}C$ for 15 days. The results revealed that water activity values of dried and powdered foods were significantly increased during storage when samples were stored at RH 85 and 100%. In addition, levels of total mesophilic bacteria, yeast, and mold were significantly increased after storage for 6 days or 9 days at RH 85% and 100%. However, levels of Escherichia coli and coliform did not increase significantly during storage. Based on these findings, dried and powdered foods should not be stored at high RH because the increased water activity enables microbial growth.
