This study examined the effects of chestnut powder content (2.5%, 5%, 7.5%, and 10%) on the antioxidant activity and quality characteristics of rice muffins. With the increasing chestnut powder content, the total polyphenol content, flavonoid content, antioxidant activity (determined by radical scavenging activity and reducing power), hardness, gumminess, chewiness, and overall acceptability (determined by sensory evaluation) increased, whereas the moisture content, pH, specific volume, and cooking loss decreased. Regarding color, chestnut powder content was negatively correlated with L and b and positively correlated with a. Notably, overall acceptability abruptly decreased to its minimum at 10%. Thus, adding powder at loadings of <7.5% improved the antioxidant activity and acceptability of rice muffins. Our results can be used as preparatory data for developing a rice muffin model.

This study investigated the quality characteristics of cookies made with chestnut inner peel powder and its potential as a food ingredient. Cookies were made with various levels (0, 10, 20, 30, 40%) of chestnut inner peel powder. Dough pieces were baked for 20 minutes at $180^{\circ}C$ in an electrically heated rotary oven for about 10 minutes, and all items were measured after cooling for 24 hours at normal temperature. Quality characteristics were measured by moisture content, leavening rate, loss rate, spread factor, color, texture profile analysis, and sensory evaluations. The moisture content of cookies was significantly affected by increasing chestnut inner peel powder (p<0.001). The spread factor as well as L-value and b-value of cookies significantly decreased with increasing chestnut inner peel powder content (p<0.001). However, hardness and redness (a-value) of cookies significantly increased with increasing chestnut inner peel powder content (p<0.001). The sensory score showed that cookies added with 20% chestnut inner peel powder had higher color, texture, and overall acceptability scores than other samples. As a result, quality of cookies added with 20% chestnut inner peel powder was the most suitable, and we suggest that chestnut inner peel is a good ingredient for increasing the consumer acceptability and functionality of cookies.

The objective of this study was to asses the quality characteristics of yanggaeng prepared with different ratios of chestnut powder: 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20%. The moisture content of the control yanggaeng was higher than that of any other chestnut powder added groups. In terms of color, The lightness (L) and yellowness (b) decreased significantly, but redness (a) increased with increasing contents of chestnut powder. The total polyphenol content and DPPH free radical scavenging activities increased as the amount of chestnut powder. Texture profile analysis showed that the hardness, adhesiveness, cohesiveness, and chewiness were higher than the control group. The result of sensory evaluation test and the overall acceptability showed that the taste, color, flavor, chewiness, softness and overall acceptability were the highest in the 10~15% added group while the color and softness were identified no significant different group. Based on these results, it is suggested that yanggaeng with up 10~15% added chestnut powder can be developed as products.

The effects of low-temperature blanching on the physical properties of chestnut powder were studied. Chestnuts were blanched in water for 15, 30 and 60 min., each at three temperatures viz. $45^{\circ}C,\;55^{\circ}C$ and $65^{\circ}C$. The particle size of chestnut powder was prepared smaller than 60 mesh$(250\;{\mu}m)$. Higher blanching time and temperature increased water binding capacity(WBC) of chestnut powder. Water soluble index(WSI) was the highest for chestnuts blanched at $65^{\circ}C$ for 30 min. As with water binding capacity(WBC), swelling power of chestnut powder increased with increasing blanching time and temperature but solubility showed an reduction by increasing blanching temperature. In Brabender amylographic examination, peak viscosity of chestnut powder showed great change, but the gelatinization temperature showed no significant differences by blanching conditions.

Purpose: Gongju is a famous area for chestnuts, which contain various nutrients and phytochemicals. This study aimed to develop gochujang items using Gongju chestnuts and analyze nutritional properties for the best item by sensory evaluation in order to increase marketability of chestnut processed foods. Methods: Gochujang was prepared, and nutrient contents of gochujang were analyzed according to the methods of the food fair by Korea Food Research Institute. Three kinds of gochujang, including general (control)-, dried chestnut powder-, and chestnut syrup- were prepared. Sensory evaluation was performed on three kinds of gochujang by 45 adults, including males and females (20's~60's years of age). Results: Chestnut syrup-gochujang was evaluated as significantly higher than general- or dried chestnut powder-gochujang by sensory evaluation. Thus, nutrition facts were produced for chestnut syrup gochujang. Nutrient contents per 100 g of chestnut syrup gochujang and traditional gochujang in the literature were similar in terms of total carbohydrates and fat, whereas protein content was higher and sodium content was lower in chestnut syrup gochujang than in traditional gochujang in the literature. Conclusions: The results imply that chestnut syrup gochujang has nutritional benefits such as higher content of protein and lower content of sodium than traditional gochujang in the literature, in addition with its good taste. Therefore, chestnut syrup gochujang may have high usage potential. There is a need to improve the quality and storage of chestnut syrup gochujang through future study.

This research was carried out to find the mordant effect of Chestnut's inner skin on the cow leather dyed by Turmeric powder. The best proper mordanting conditions were examined by changing mordant method, concentration, temperature, bath ratio, time, and repetition. Also dyeability and surface color changes were evaluated by various mordanting methods. The optimum mordanting conditions of chestnut's inner skin extract on the cow leather were pre mordant, 80%, $50^{\circ}C$, 50:1, 40minutes, 4 repetition. The K/S values as a mordant were higher in pre mordant than post mordanting condition. Although the ${\Delta}E$ was slightly higher in post mordant than pre mordant, it was too small to find any means. The surface colors of all dyed cow leathers were yellow. Among light, dry cleaning, and abrasion fastnesses, only light fastness was increased one degree, others were same degrees.

Curd yoghurts were manufactured by addition of chestnuts and walnuts which were special agricultural products in Chungnam area. The nut powders were added to the yoghurts in the given concentration of 1~4%. The yoghurts after 12 hours fermentation were examined for pH, acidity, cell counts of lactic acid bacteria, viscosity, chemical composition and sensory test and preservation of yoghurts. The results obtained were summarized as follows; 1. The chestnut powder decreased pH, whereas increased acidity in yoghurts, however, the walnut powder did not change significantly for pH and acidity in yoghurts. 2. The cell counts of lactic acid bacteria was higher for 2% chestnut powder yoghurt ($2.6{\times}10^9/ml$) than 2% walnut powder yoghurt ($1.7{\times}10^9/ml$) and control yoghurt. 3. The viscosity of yoghurt was higher for 4% chestnut powder yoghurt (3,225 centipoise) than control (1,638 centipoise) and 4% walnut powder yoghurt (2,010 centipoise). 4. The protein content of yoghurts were 3.99% for both 2% chestnut powder and 2% walnut powder yoghurts, and solid-non-fat contents of yoghurt were 15.10% for chestnut powder yoghurt and 13.65% walnut powder yoghurt. 5. The scores of sensory tests were higher in chestnut powder yoghurt for tastes, odor and texture, and in walnut powder yoghurt for tastes, odor and texture compared to control yoghurt. 6. When yoghurts were stored at $5^{\circ}C$ for 14 days for preservation test, the acidity and number of lactic acid bacteria were not changed significantly.

This study investigates the quality characteristics of dough and bread added with 6% chestnut shell powder and extruded chestnut shell powder at various conditions. As extrusion process variables, melt temperature ($110^{\circ}C$, $130^{\circ}C$, $150^{\circ}C$) and moisture (25% and 30%) were controlled. Total dietary fiber content was slightly increased in extruded chestnut shell powder group. In the farinogram, absorption was significantly increased in the group of 25% moisture content and 30% moisture content (p<0.05). After 2 hours and 3 hours, the leavening heights of dough for control showed a similar tendency to that of dough with extruded chestnut shell at a melt temperature $150^{\circ}C$ and with moisture content of 25% and 30%. Specific volume was the highest at a control of $3.74{\pm}0.08cc/g$ and extruded chestnut shell powder group was slightly higher than the chestnut shell powder group. Firmness after 1 day on control of $107.42{\pm}14.52g$ was similar to that of the bread with extruded chestnut shell at a temperature of $150^{\circ}C$ and moisture content of 25% for $113.33{\pm}6.17g$. In conclusion, the extrusion-cooking of chestnut shell powder improved the quality characteristics of dough and bread. The optimum combinations of conditions in tested range were melt temperature at $150^{\circ}C$ and moisture content at 25%, and melt temperature at $130^{\circ}C$ and moisture content at 30%.

This study was conducted to investigate processing condition and characteristics of chestnut paste. The kinds of chestnut powder processed with blanching and drying of raw material were four named RH(not blanched, hot air dried), RF(not blanched, freeze dried), BH(blanched, hot air dried) and BF(blanched, freeze dried). Blanching affected the reduction of drying time in chestnut. Water absorption index of the blanched samples were higher than the nonblanched. Blanching affected the viscosity of pastes when water was added to process paste also, but drying methods did not affected to it. The proper ratio of water to the powder to process paste was 1.3 to 1.5 times in RH and RF, whereas 2.7 times in BH and BF by sensory evaluation. Soluble tannin content of paste was higher in RF and RH paste than BF and BH. Vitamin C content was the highest(88.49mg/100g) in RF paste and reducing sugar content was the highest in RF paste. Hunter's L and a values were the highest in BF and RH pastes, respectively, among the all paste samples. Volatile compounds detected from chestnutpastes were hydrocarbons, alcohols, phenols, ketones. The major volatile compound in all the pastes was 2,6 bis(1,1 dimethylethyl) 4 methyl phenol.
