This study was carried out to evaluate the effects of trehalose on quality characteristics of white pan bread. Basic formula consisted of bread flour, 6% sucrose, and 0, 2, 4, 6% trehalose, respectively. Loaf volume, specific loaf volume, baking loss rate, moisture content, water activity, crumb color, and sensory evaluation scores were determined for quality characteristics of bread. White pan bread containing 4% trehalose had a higher loaf volume of 2,140 mL and specific loaf volume of 3.96 mL/g. Baking loss rate of white pan bread was the lowest in the loaf containing 6% trehalose. In crumb texture analysis, hardness of loaf containing 4% of trehalose was the lowest after 7 days of storage. Moisture content and water activity of white pan breads increased with increasing level of trehalose. Color of crumbs was the brightest in the loaf containing 6% trehalose. White pan bread containing 4% trehalose scored better in the sensory evaluation than the others. As a result, trehalose affected quality characteristics of white pan bread. Especially, the addition of 4% trehalose to white pan bread had beneficial effects on quality characteristics.

Quality characteristics of functional bread added with different concentrations of potato juice and processed by basic formulation were investigated. Specific volume and baking loss of bread added with 20% potato juice (potato juice : water = 20 : 80) were the highest. Moisture and crude protein contents increased with increasing content of potato juice, while crude lipid content decreased. Lightness (L value) and yellowness (b value) of bread decreased with increasing content of potato juice, while redness (a value) increased. Texture measurement showed springiness, cohesiveness, and brittleness increased with increase of potato juice content. Highest sensory scores for color (p < 0.001), flavor, and taste (p < 0.05) were obtained from bread added with 20% potato juice, while appearance (p < 0.01) and texture (p < 0.01) of control bread were highest. Glycoalkaloid contentsof bread added with 50 and 100% potato juice were 2.85 and 5.79 mg%, respectively.

The purpose of this study was to examine the quality variations of cake and cake batter when either butter or soybean oil was added in plain sponge cake batter. Soybean oil or butter was added to the batter at ratios of 20, 40, and 60% at 20, 35, 60, and $80^{\circ}C$. The physico-chemical properties of cake batter and cake were measured to evaluate the effects of ratio and temperature of butter and soybean oil. At higher ratios of butter or soybean oil and lower temperatures, the specific gravity of the cake batter increased while the interrelations among weight, volume, and specific loaf volume decreased. L- and b- values were the same, but a-value increased remarkably with higher ratios of butter. The effect of adding butter or soybean oil on hardness was shown to be lowest at 40% and $80^{\circ}C$. Baking loss in the baking process with soybean oil decreased with increasing oil quantity and temperature. Moisture content did not change with temperature, but did decline with increasing amounts of butter or soybean oil. These results show that the optimum condition for sponge cake would be 40% soybean oil at $80^{\circ}C$.

This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of lotus leaf and lotus root powder on the quality characteristics of sponge cake. Percentages of 4, 8 and 12% of two kinds of lotus powder were added to the batter based on flour content. Baking and cooling loss rate, volume and specific loaf volume, crumb color, texture, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and sensory evaluation of the products were analyzed. The baking and cooling loss rate of the control was lower than cakes with added lotus leaf and lotus root powder. The volume of the control was the largest, and as the amount of lotus leaf and lotus root powder increased, volume and specific loaf volume became smaller. The lightness and yellowness values of the control were higher than those of the experimental cakes, and the loaves with 12% added lotus root powder showed the lowest value. Redness of the experimental cakes increased. In the textual property evaluation, hardness of the control and sponge cakes containing 4% lotus leaf, and lotus root powder appeared to have the lowest value. As the amount of lotus leaf and lotus root powder increased, hardness increased. Springiness showed the same tendency, but cohesiveness of the control revealed the lowest value. The structure of the cake crumb by SEM, revealed that the crumb cells and grains of the experimental cakes were opened and coarse, as the amount of lotus leaf and lotus root powders increased. In a sensory evaluation, sponge cakes containing lotus root powder were preferred rather than those with lotus leaf powder. As a result, good sponge cakes were prepared by adding 4% lotus leaf powder or 8% lotus root powder.

This study was performed to examine the quality characteristics and antioxidant activities of the sponge cakes containing different concentrations (2-10%, w/w) of aronia powder (AP). The specific gravity of the dough and the baking loss rate were significantly increased with higher AP content. The specific volume, height, volume index, and pH were significantly decreased with the increase in AP. The lightness and redness values increased, while the yellowness values decreased with increasing amounts of AP. Textural characteristics, such as hardness, gumminess, and chewiness significantly increased on addition of AP. The DPPH radical scavenging activities of the cakes increased significantly with the increase in concentration of AP. In sensory evaluation, the group with cakes containing AP at 2% concentration was ranked higher than other cakes with respect to all parameters, except for color. Therefore, the results of this study suggest that sponge cakes prepared with 2% AP is the most suitable product, based on its sensory characteristics and antioxidant activities.

The objective of this study was to examinate the differences of general component, chromaticity, pH, weight, loss on baking, specific volume bulk, diameter of upper side and height, mechanical texture, DPPH radical, ABTS radical, Total amount of phenol, Monacolin-K content, sensory test on Muffin using no Red Yeast Rice and different levels (2%, 4%, 6%, 8%, 10%) of Red Yeast Rice. pH was decreased as the amount of added Red Yeast Rice increased(control 8.35, RM2% 7.93, RM4% 7.86, RM6% 7.69, RM8% 7.49, RM10% 7.30). Weight and loss on baking were showed not too different depending the amount of added Red Yeast Rice, and the baking loss were at very low point. Adhesion, cohesiveness, elasticity, viscosity, and chewiness showed no attentive differences on mechanical texture analysis. As the level of Red Yeast Rice increased, DPPH radical, ABTS radical, and Total phenol content decreased. Monacolin K were at higher point as the level of Red Yeast Rice increased. The sensory test showed Taste, Texture, and Overall acceptability gained the highest point when using 4% of Red Yeast Rice. On the sensory test, 4% of Red Yeast Rice was considered to be the best level based on Flavor and Color. The results of these tests show 4% of Red Yeast Rice is most preferred and considered to be most suited with flour and rice flour.

This study investigated the effects of the mixing ratio of tofu paste and normal corn starch on the characteristics of gluten-free (GF) muffins. Soft wheat flour for wheat flour-based muffins (control) was replaced with the mixture of tofu paste and normal corn starch (NCS). The mixing ratios of tofu paste and NCS were 1:6.4 (S100), 1:5.1 (S80), 1:3.8 (S60), 1:2.6 (S40), 1:1.3 (S20), and 1:0 (S00), based on their total solid contents. GF muffins of S40-S100 developed the porous, sponge-like structure without crumb collapse. The weight and baking loss did not significantly differ in the control and GF muffins. By decreasing NCS in GF muffin batters, the moisture content, firmness, and crumb redness/yellowness of GF muffins increased, while their volume, specific volume, and crumb lightness decreased. Nevertheless, these characteristics (except for firmness) of S100 were much closer to those of the control. In the preference test, however, S60 (possessing lower attributes than S100 and S80) was most favored among GF muffins, and was very similar in all evaluations (except for appearance) to the control. Overall, the mixture of tofu paste and NCS would be a potential material to replace soft wheat flour in muffins.

The quality characteristics of muffins with different types of rice flour, such as soft flour (CON), soft rice flour (SRF), floury rice flour (FRF), and rice flour (RF) were assessed by using Image J program, which includes their particle size analysis, moisture content, pH, color, specific volume, baking loss rate, texture. (D[4, 3]) is weighted mean diameter, which is directly obtained in particle size measurements showed large values in the order of rice flour, floury rice flour, soft rice flour, and soft flour. The moisture content was high in the CON and SRF groups with small particle sizes. There was no significant difference in pH, L and b value. The a value was significantly low only in the RF group with large particle size. The smaller the particle size, the higher the specific volume and baking loss rate. Image J showed that the number of pores decreased when fewer smaller particles were the powder, but the pores were larger. Among the rice flours, the SRF group, excluding the CON group, scored high in all the acceptability elements. The results from this study can be used as basic data that can contribute to research on various rice-processed foods.

This study was conducted to investigate the characteristics of dough and bread prepared by a Korean pigmented rice(KPR). The fermentation of the dough was promoted with a lower pH. Though the springiness and gumminess of the dough were low, but It was more tender and moist than that of control. Color of the bread showed red wine and the acceptabi]ity of the bread was higher than control evaluated by sensory test. The tissue of the bread has more small particles of starch than that of control and It was densely populated. The distribution tendency of the starch particles in the tissue of the bread was the more apparent in the KPR. And big starch particles like lens were observed in the dough with 10% of KPR. Mouse feeling of the bread was more sticky but, it was little clogging.

This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of mugwort powder on the quality characteristics of sponge cake. Mugwort powder sponge cake was prepared with different ration of mugwort powder(0, 5, 10, 15, 20%). The specific gravity, baking loss rate and cake weight increases as the ration of mugwort powder. The sponge cake's a, b level increased with the increasing level of mugwort powder 20% appeared to be the highest. In terms of textural characteristics, the samples containing 5, 10, and 20% mugwort powder had significantly higher hardness than the control samples. The substance's level of springiness, and cohesiveness decreased as the mugwort powder added. In sensory evaluation, overall acceptability and taste of the cake was better than the others when 10% mugwort powder was added. The results indicated that substituting 10% mugwort powder to sponge cake is optimal for quality and provides a product with reasonable high overall acceptability.
