This study presents the quality characteristics of blueberry bread. Blueberry fruit powder was added to bread dough at various concentrations ranging from 3~9%, after which physicochemical properties of dough and bread containing blueberry fruit powder were determined. The pH, loaf volume, specific loaf volume, dough volume and baking loss decreased with increasing amount of blueberry fruit powder in bread, whereas loaf weight and hardness were reduced. In particular, hardness appeared to be 1.98 times higher in the control without blueberry powder compared to the bread containing 9% blueberry powder. For color, increasing the amount of blueberry fruit powder reduced L and b values, whereas a value was increased. In the sensory evaluation, the highest overall preference score was observed in bread containing 6% blueberry powder, whereas the lowest score was observed in bread with 9% blueberry powder. From these results, blueberry bread with good acceptability has an optimum blueberry powder concentration of 6%.

This study investigated the physicochemical and sensory characteristics of rice pound cake prepared with various amounts of blueberry powder. The weight of rice pound cakes with additions of 2~8% blueberry powder increased from 418.58 to 420.50 g. The volume and specific loaf volume of rice pound cakes prepared by adding blueberry powder were lower than those of the control. The baking loss rate for the control was 7.72% and that of rice pound cakes prepared by adding blueberry powder decreased by 6.98~6.56%. The moisture contents of rice pound cakes added with blueberry powder were higher than the control. The pH levels for rice pound cakes prepared with blueberry powder ranged between 6.47 and 7.58 and that of the control was 8.11. The microstructural observation by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) showed well developed air cells of control. DPPH radical scavenging activity of the control group was 13.6%, whereas pound cakes prepared by adding blueberry powder ranged from 35.2~78.8%. The "a" value of redness was increased, but L and b value were decreased significantly by additions of blueberry powder. The full textural properties of rice pound cakes were being significantly increased by additions of blueberry powder. Sensory evaluation scores in terms of appearance, flavor, taste, texture and overall preference for pound cakes showed that 4~6% of substituted sample groups were higher than those of others. The results of this study suggest that additions of 4~6% blueberry powder was the best substitution ratio for rice pound cakes.

The purpose of this study was to promote consumption of rice through production of jeungpyun added with blueberry attracting attention as a functional food material and to develop a functional blueberry supplement suited to the preference of Westernized consumers. For that pupose, we performed physicochemical quality test and sensory test after preparing the jeungpyun added with blueberry powder based on a ratio of 1%, 2%, 3%, and 4% of rice flour. The results of this experiment can be summarized as follows. When the addition of blueberry powder increased, the moisture content in jeungpyun decreased, but there was no significant difference between the samples. The lightness and the yellowness related to chromaticity decreased and redness increased when the addition of blueberry powder increased. The pH of the dough in jeungpyun increased significantly (p<0.001) when addition of blueberry powder increased. As the fermentation progressed, the pH tended to decline. The volume of dough decreased when addition of blueberry powder increased. The volume was the highest after the first fermentation, and decreased after the second fermentation. Viscosity decreased significantly as the addition of blueberry powder increased, and increased as fermentation time increased, and decreased after the third fermentation. A test was conducted to determine difference in characteristics, and the results showed that the color intensity, cell uniformity, blueberry flavor and sweetness were strong when the addition of blueberry powder increased. The results of preference test showed that JB3 containing 3% blueberry powder had the best appearance, flavor and overall acceptance.

A study is undertaken to examine the effects of the additional frozen blueberry powder and anthocyanin powder extracted from black beans to quality attributes of pound cakes. Frozen blueberry powder and anthocyanin powder extracted from black beans are being added to the flour at a ratio of 0.5, 1.5, 2.5, and 3.5% respectively. The antioxidant activity is highly correlated with the total phenolic and total flavonoids contents of frozen blueberry powder and anthocyanin powder extracted from black beans of pound cakes, respectively (r=0.8423, p<0.001 r=0.9449, p<0.001). The quality characteristics of the specific volumes decreased significantly with increasing substitution levels of frozen blueberry powder and anthocyanin powder extracted from black beans (p<0.01). The lightness significantly decreased with increasing frozen blueberry powder and anthocyanin powder extracted from black beans of pound cakes' crusts and crumbs (p<0.01). The hardness, chewiness and gumminess tend to reduce, while the cohesiveness increase in both powders. The consumer acceptability score for 0.5~3.5% of frozen blueberry powder and anthocyanin powder extracted from black beans pound cakes ranked significantly (p<0.01) higher than those of the other groups according to taste, flavor and overall preferences. These results show that frozen blueberry powder and anthocyanin powder extracted from the black beans are a good ingredient for increasing consumer acceptability and overall healthy.

In the search for another appealing source of future food to cover the increasing need for nutrients of a growing global population, this study reviewed the potential of insects as human food. This study assessed some common edible insects, but concentrated on mealworms. Insects, especially mealworms, have a similar or higher nutritional value than many conventional food sources. The present study aimed to promote health through the development of blueberry cake by Mealworm Powder (Tenebrio molitor Lavare). The results of Sensory evaluation comparison of Blueberry cake to different levels of mealworm powder. The sensory evaluation showed that sample 3 had the highest color, taste, texture, and overall texture except flavour. Therefore, mealworm blueberry cake made with 60g of mealworm powder showed the best results. The results of analyzing the general components of the Mealworm blueberry cake showed more than two times higher Crude protein and less than half Crude fat compared to control blueberry cake. It is believed that the addition of mealworm powder means that the protein in the cake, a high carbohydrate food, has been strengthened. This is the development of bakery products with both nutritional excellence and symbolism, and it is believed that wheat worm powder is a good food material as a favorite food, not a hateful food, which will improve consumer awareness of edible insects.

The blueberry eco-friendly farming requires the soil condition of pH 4.2 ~ 5.2 and high in organic matters for stable growth. Most of soil types of blueberry-growing land in Korea, however, belongs to alkaline soils with low organic matter content. As a result, the eco-friendly blueberry growers use peat moss and sulfur powder heavily to improve the soil condition, but the guideline on the effective use of organic materials was not established yet. Therefore, this sturdy was performed to investigate the effect of increasing soil acidity and organic matters by using organic materials. Among 5 organic materials, the pH of soil was lowest in degradable sulfur + bentonite (pH 4.1) and followed by Peat moss+Chaff+Pine Needlesmixtures(pH 4.5), OrganicAcid +vinegar (pH 4.7), Sulfur powder (pH 4.8), Temperature response Elutioner (pH 5.2). The soil organic matter content were increased in the following order: Peat moss+Chaff+Pine Needlesmixtures (8.4%) > degradable sulfur + bentonite (7.8%) > Organic Acid + vinegar (7.2%) > Sulfur powder ${\fallingdotseq}$ Temperature response Elutioner (6.3%). Although different in the degree, all organic materials treated was recognized a good material for improving soil pH and organic matter content. The plant height and stem diameter of blueberry were no clear difference among 5 organic materials. Another study was carried out to investigate amending soils with organic matter by soil mulching with pine needles for soil surface management in blueberry organic cultivation. The effect of increasing the soil pH by pine needle mulching in blueberry eco-friendly farming was recognized in four test fields. Pine needle mulching for soil surface management in blueberry appeared several advantages, such as improving of soil pH and organic matter content. Therefore, pineneedle mulching in blueberry organic farming is considered as the most efficient means of mulching cultivation for amending soil pH, weed suppression and moisture conservation among mulching materials.

We evaluated the quality characteristics and antioxidative activities of cookies containing different types of egg yolk (LEY, Liquid Egg Yolk; FEY, Fresh Egg Yolk) and percentages of blueberry powder (5, 10, and 15%). As the amount of blueberry powder increased, the levels of antioxidants based on ABTS and DPPH radical scavenging activities increased in general. Within the 15% group, contents of polyphenols and flavonoids were higher in the FEY group, whereas content of anthocyanins was higher in the LEY group. Measurement of ABTS radical scavenging activity showed that the FEY group had a higher value within the 10% group, whereas the LEY group scored higher within the 15% group. Comparison of sensory properties showed no significant difference between the two egg yolk types. If commercialized, manufacturing cookies with FEY or LEY will not make a significant difference. Regardless, 15% blueberry powder would be the most appropriate, as it scored the highest in terms of antioxidant activity and sensory characteristics.
