The principal objective of this study was to develop the optimal recipe for muffins prepared with replacement of sucrose with trehalose. The effects of trehalose on properties and staling of muffins during storage days(0, 1, 3, 5 days) were evaluated in terms of height, volume, weight, specific volume, baking loss rate, crumbscan, colorimeter, texture analyzer and sensory evaluation. Crust thickness of muffins containing trehalose evaluated with crumbscan decreased as the content of trehalose increased. Lightness(L value) of muffins with trehalose increased for the storage days, but muffins without trehalose decreased. yellowness(b value) increased significantly as the trehalose content increased. Hardness value of muffins was reduced by adding trehalose; however, the resilience value of muffins with trehalose increased significantly. Finally, the sensory evaluation revealed that muffins with 25% of trehalose showed the best result in texture, taste and overall preference.

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of baking on the physicochemical and sensory properties of white pan bread with red wine (RW). RW was substituted for water at four levels (0, 19, 38 and 63%). For bread crumb color, lightness decreased with increasing levels of RW, whereas redness and yellowness increased (p<0.05), in proportion to RW levels. Compared to control bread, specific volume of breads added with RW was decreased. The degree of dough raising power decreased significantly depending on the amounts of RW. The hardness of control bread was $87.35g/cm^2$ while the hardness of breads with RW ranged from 85.37 to $94.19g/cm^2$. Hardness, cohesiveness, springiness and gumminess of breads added with RW showed higher scores than the control group. In the sensory evaluation, the highest flavor and taste preference scores were observed in bread containing 38% RW, whereas the lowest score was observed in bread with 63% RW. Accordingly, the quality of bread can be improved by addition of 38% RW substituted for water.

This study investigated the quality of pound cake prepared with various concentrations of mandarin powder. Pound cake was prepared by addition of 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20% (all w/v) powder to the flour of the basic formulation. The weight of pound cake increased with rising powder concentration. The volume and baking loss decreased with increases in powder. The pH of pound cake decreased with increasing powder concentration. With rising powder concentration, the L value of the crumb decreased but the a and b values increased. The texture, hardness, gumminess, chewiness, and adhesiveness of pound cake significantly increased with increasing powder concentration, but the springiness and cohesiveness significantly decreased. In sensory evaluation, when compared to control, pound cake with 10% (w/v) mandarin powder was superior in taste, flavor, and overall preference.

This study was carried out to investigate quality characteristics of white breads with cabbage powder(CP) (0, 2.5, 5.0, 7.5 and 10.0%). L-value was significantly decreased by addition of CP, but a and b-values were increased(p<0.05). The degree of pH of dough and bread weight increased with increasing CP concentration, while bread volume, specific volume, and baking loss rate became reduced. The hardness of the breads added with CP was higher than that of the control group. Also, In sensory analysis, the breads with CP showed generally low scores in color, flavor, taste, texture and overall acceptability compared with the control. Taken together, the 2.5%, 5.0% treatment showed similar results with the control group, as compared to other treatments. Addition of CP influenced the color, bread volume and other rheological properties, which is disadvantageous for the quality of white bread. However, compared with the control group, up to 5% CP substitution for flour didn't show significant defferences in sensory test.

Effect of baking on the physicochemical and sensory properties was investigated using a model system of sponge cakes incorporated with Ecklonia cava powder as a value-added food ingredient. Ecklonia cava powder was incorporated into cake batter at 5 levels (0%, 2%, 4%, 6%, and 8%, w/w) by replacing equivalent amount of wheat flour. After appropriate mixing, sponge cakes were baked at ${185^{\circ}C}$ for 20 min in an oven. The baked cakes were cooled to room temperature for 1 hr prior to all measurements. The specific gravity of batter increased gradually with increase in Ecklonia cava powder content. The specific volume of sponge cakes tended to decrease while baking loss increased. Volume of the cakes decreased with higher amount of Ecklonia cava powder in the formulation as indicated by the decrease in the volume index. Sponge cakes became darker and firmer with increase in Ecklonia cava powder content (p<0.05). Color, seaweeds smell, and taste were distinctively classified by the sensory analyses (p<0.05). Finally, correlation analysis indicated that level of Ecklonia cava powder incorporation was well-correlated with all the physicochemical and sensory properties studied except for $a^{*}$-value and sensory firmness (p<0.05, p<0.01 or p<0.001).

The baking performance of yacon powder as a value-added food ingredient was investigated in a model system of sponge cakes. Yacon powder was incorporated into cake batter at 5 levels (0, 10, 20, and 30%, w/w) by replacing equivalent amount of wheat flour. The specific gravity of batter increased significantly while pH decreased significantly with the increase in yacon powder content (p < 0.05). The specific volume and moisture content of sponge cakes decreased while baking loss increased (p < 0.05). Volume of the cakes decreased with higher amount of yacon powder in the formulation as indicated by the decrease in the volume index. The symmetry index was not affected by the amount of yacon powder in the formulation (p > 0.05). Sponge cakes became darker and firmer with increase in yacon powder content (p < 0.05). Finally, the consumer acceptance test indicated that incorporation of yacon powder up to 20% in the formulation of sponge cakes did not significantly influence the consumers' overall acceptability.

Chiffon cakes were prepared using various concentrations of aloe gel to develop functional baking procedures. The quality characteristics of chiffon cakes prepared after addition of 20%, 40%, or 60% (w/w) aloe gel, substituting for the same levels of wheat flour, were investigated. No significant weight difference between cakes was observed. The height of cakes containing aloe gel was significantly greater than that of control cakes. The baking loss rate (BLR) of aloe gel decreased as the amount of gel increased, and cakes prepared using 60% (w/w) aloe gel had the lowest BLR. Moisture contents of cakes prepared using aloe gel were higher than that of control cakes. Cakes with 60% (w/w) aloe gel had the highest moisture content. The pore size of cakes with 60% (w/w) aloe gel was the smallest of all groups. Crumb color became whiter as the proportion of aloe gel increased. Lightness (L value) of control cake was lower than that of cake containing aloe gel. Redness (a value) of aloe chiffon cakes increased as the proportion of aloe gel rose. Yellowness (b value) of cakes with 40% (w/w) aloe gel was significantly higher than that of the control group. Other cakes showed no difference in b value compared with control cake. Hardness in all cakes prepared with aloe gel was significantly lower than that of the control group. Adhesiveness of control cake was significantly lower than that of other cakes. No significant between-group difference in springiness was observed. The cohesiveness of cakes with 40% (w/w) aloe gel was significantly lower than that of the control group and that of cakes with 20% (w/w) aloe gel. The gumminess and chewiness of control cakes were significantly higher than those of other cakes. The yellowness of cake with 60% (w/w) aloe gel was significantly lower than that of the other groups. Pore size decreased after the addition of aloe gel. There was no significant difference in appearance among cakes thus, all cakes were acceptable to potential consumers. Although no perceptible difference in aloe odor was evident, cakes with 60% (w/w) aloe gel scored significantly lower in flavor acceptance compared with other cakes. No significant between-cake difference in taste acceptance, perceived moisture level, or texture acceptability was observed. Cakes with 40% and 60% (both w/w) aloe gel were of significantly higher density than other cakes. Overall, the acceptability of cakes with 60% (w/w) aloe gel was lower than that of other cakes. Ultimately, the results indicated that quality can be enhanced by adding less than 40% (w/w) aloe gel to chiffon cakes as a substitute for wheat flour.

In this study, hard roll breads were prepared with 3, 6, 9, 12, and 15% of concentrated sweet pumpkin powder (CSPP). The samples and a control were then compared in terms of quality characteristics, including pH, total titratable acidity, fermentation power of dough expansion, specific volume, baking loss, moisture content, color, textural characteristics, external and internal surface appearances, and sensory qualities of bread in order to determine the optimal ratio of CSPP in the formulation. As CSPP content increased, pH of dough, specific volume, baking loss, and lightness of bread decreased, while total titratable acidity of dough, pH, total titratable acidity, moisture content, and redness of bread increased. Fermentation power of dough expansion increased as incubation time increased. The CSPP samples had significantly higher yellowness, hardness, cohesiveness, gumminess, chewiness, and resilience than the control group. Adhesiveness was the highest at the 12% substitution level, while the lowest at the 6% level. Springiness increased with increasing CSPP content. In the sensory evaluation, as CSPP content increased, scores for color and consistency of crumb decreased, while scores for aroma of sweet pumpkin, sweetness, and delicious taste increased. Density of crumb pore were maximal with the 12% CSPP substitution. The CSPP samples had significantly higher uniformity of crumb pore and springiness of crumb than the control group. However, mouth-feel and overall acceptability showed the reverse effect, obtaining fairly good scores. In conclusion, the results indicate that substituting $6{\sim}9%$ CSPP to hard roll bread is optimal, providing good physiological properties as well as reasonably high overall acceptability.

Nelumbo nucifera G. tea white breads were prepared by the addition of 0.01, 0.02, 0.03, and 0.04% hemicellulase to flour of the basic formulation. The experiments and control were then compared in terms of quality characteristics, including pH, total titratable acidity, fermentation power of dough expansion, specific volume, baking loss, moisture content, color, textural characteristics, external and internal surface appearances, and sensory qualities in order to determine the optimal ratio of hemicellulase in the formulation. There were no significant differences in pH and total titratable acidity of dough among the experiments. Fermentation power of dough expansion were increased as incubation time increased. Baking loss was the highest at the 0.04% addition level, while the lowest at the 0.01% level. As hemicellulase content increased, pH, hardness, and fracturability of bread decreased, while total titratable acidity, specific volume, and resilience increased. Water content and lightness were the highest in the control bread samples, and yellowness was maximal in the 0.01% group. Bread made by the addition of hemicellulase had significantly higher greenness and flavor than the control group. Color, consistency, and springiness of crumb, density and uniformity of crumb pore, softness, chewiness, overall acceptability, lotus leaf flavor, delicious taste, astringency, bitterness, and off-flavor were not significantly different among the samples. The results indicate that adding 0.02$\sim$ 0.03% hemicellulase in N elumbo nucifera G. tea white bread is optimal for quality and provides a product with reasonably high overall acceptability.

Black tomato (Lycopersicum esculentum) is known to have more ${\beta}-carotene$, lycopene, and vitamin C than general red-colored tomatoes. In this study, we evaluated the quality properties, antioxidant activities and sensory characteristics of black tomato cookies. Cookies were prepared by replacing 0, 1, 3, 5, and 7% of flour with black tomato powder. Density of black tomato cookies tended to be decreased between control (1.20) and 3% added groups (1.12). pH value was decreased from control (6.66) to 7% added group (5.16). Spread factor and loss rate were increased with increasing amounts of black tomato powder. Hardness was gradually increased from $107.77g/cm^2$ in control to $170.50g/cm^2$ in 7% added group. Color measurement indicated that L-value (brightness) was highest in control (70.46) and lowest in 7% added group (45.23); whereas, a-value (redness) increased while b-value (yellowness) tended to decrease with increasing amounts of black tomato powder. Total polyphenol contents and DPPH radical scavenging activities were directly proportional to the amount of black tomato powder. Consumer preference scores in color and flavor of black tomato powder added group were higher than those of control. Characteristic strength test was not significantly different among the groups. Overall, the results indicated that adding 5% black tomato powder is desirable for making black tomato cookies.
