This study explores the quality characteristics of white pan bread added with perilla leaf powder, and the results are as follows. The WRC(water retention capacity) of PLP (perilla leaf powder) added to the bread dough increased as the addition increased, and the initiation temperature during the rapid visco analysis (RVA) increased with more additions, showing significant differences. The highest and the lowest viscosity of the sample decreased as the powder added increased. The brightness(L value) of the bread without the powder was the highest, and the redness (a value) and the yellowness (b value) showed significant differences among the samples. Hardness increased showing significant differences among the samples as the powder added increased Chewiness was the highest but preference value was the lowest in the sample with 7% of the powder. The lowest score was shown in the color of the sample with the most PLP added. Flavor was the lowest of 4.93 in the comparison sample without the leaf powder added while bitter taste scored the highest of 5.21 in the sample of 3% powder added. It was also the highest in overall acceptance while the sample with the most powder showed the lowest of 4.03. From these results, it can be said that the preference of bread with PLP seems to decrease when more than 5% of PLP is added.

3-Amino-1,2,4-triazole (ATA) (2.5 and 5.0 phr) was incorporated into a immiscible maleated ethylene propylene diene rubber(mEPDM)/maleated high density polyethylene(mHDPE) (50 wt%/50 wt%) blend by melt mixing. Effects of the ATA on structure, mechanical and rheological properties of the blend was investigated. FT-IR and DMA results revealed that supramolecular hydrogen bonding interactions between the polymer chains occur by reaction of ATA with maleic anhydride grafted onto the component polymers in the blend, which induces the physical crosslinks in the blend. FE-SEM analysis showed that mEPDM forms a dispersed phase in continuous mHDPE matrix, and the blend with the ATA has finer phase morphology as compared to the blend without the ATA. By the addition of ATA in the blend, there were significant increases in tensile strength, modulus and elongation-at-break as well as elastic recoverability. Melt rheology studies revealed that ATA induced substantial increase in storage modulus and complex viscosity of the blend at the melt state.
