This study aimed to examine quality properties of muffin by the amount of addition of Korean whole wheat flour (0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%) as there is increasingly higher interest in the healthy food. The effect of Korean whole wheat flour were evaluated in terms of height, volume, weight, specific volume, baking loss rate, colorimeter, and sensory evaluation. Texture and moisture contents of muffins when storage (1, 3, 5 days) was measured. As the ratio of Korean whole wheat flour increased, the baking loss rate and weight increased, whereas the volume and specific volume was not significant. During storage, moisture content of muffins decreased significantly. The addition of Korean whole wheat flour increased lightness (L value) of crust and crumb decreased, whereas redness (a value) and yellowness (b value) increased. The control group (CON) showed the highest springiness lowest hardness. The muffin with 25% of Korean whole wheat flour (WHF25) in test group showed the high springiness low hardness. According to the sensory evaluation, the control group showed the highest score in terms of taste, however WHF25 showed the highest score in appearance, color, flavor, texture and overall acceptance, WHF25 showed the best result and the optimum addition of Korean whole wheat flour.

This study was conducted to investigate the quality characteristics of muffins with added ultrafiltered (UF) sunmul powder. Muffins were prepared with four different levels of UF powder (0%, 3%, 5% and 7%) and the physicochemical properties were examined. The volume and specific volume were lower in muffins prepared with UF powder than the control. The incorporation of UF powder in muffin lowered the lightness values but increased the redness values. Rheology testing showed that hardness increased with increasing UF powder and gumminess and brittleness were the highest in the control group and decreased with increasing UF powder. Initial isoflavone content was 2.39$\sim$5.57 mg%, and decreased to 1.81$\sim$4.09 mg% after baking, resulting in 24$\sim$37% reduction in muffin formulations. Scanning electron microscopy showed that the size of the air cells increased with increasing UF powder levels. In sensory evaluation, overall acceptability score was the highest in muffins with 3% added UF powder and no significant difference was observed between control and 7% addition. Therefore, muffins prepared with up to 7% addition of UF powder would be at least as acceptable as control muffins.
