We investigated the quality characteristics of cookies made with Chungkukjang powder. Chungkukjang is a well-known nutritional supplement. Cookie samples were made by adding differrent quantities of Chungkukjang powder(0%, 4%, 8% and 12%). We examined the resulting, moisture, pH, color, spread factor, hardness and sensory evaluation of the cookies. While the moisture and, a and b value of the cookies significantly increased when more Chungkukjang powder was added (p<0.01), the pH, L value, spread factor and hardness of the cookies significantly decreased(p<0.01). Cookies containing 0% and 4% Chungkukjang powder had similar sensory evaluation score in terms of color, taste and flavor cookies made with 4% Chungkukjang powder had the highest texture and overall consumer acceptability scores.

The purpose of this study was to investigate quality characteristics of roll bread with the addition of Chungkukjang powder(0, 5, 10, 15, 20%). The antioxidative activity of antioxidative substances produced from several bacterial strains isolated from fermented foods were tested by DPPH $(\alpha,\alpha’-diphenyl-\beta-picrylhydrazyl)$ free radical scavenging activity. The most optimal medium condition for the production of antioxidative substance from Bacillus sp. FF-7 was 2% galactose as carbon source and 1% tryptone as nitrogen source. In color values, with increasing Chungkukjang powder content, the "lightness" (p<0.05) decreased in the crumb bread, while the redness(p<0.05) and yellowness(p<0.05) increased. The volume and specific volume of roll bread with 5.0% Chungkukjang powder were the highest(p<0.05). In the rheology measurements for the roll bread, the hardness (p<0.05) decreased with the addition of 5.0% Chungkukjang powder, but then increased with further additions of Chungkukjang up to 10.0%. Highest sensory scores for color, flavor, taste(p<0.05), texture(p<0.05) and overall acceptance(p<0.05) were obtained from roll bread with 5.0% Chungkukjang powder and control. From the results of this study, it was assumed that the development of food products using Chungkukjang is prospective in response to health-oriented consumers.

This study was performed to investigate the consumption and the preference of chungkukjang products among the middle school students. The subject were 538 middle school students(male 283, female 255) in $3^{th}$ grade, and were asked to fill out the questionnaire. The collected data were analyzed by SAS package. The result showed that most students knew about traditional chungkukjang(88.5%) and chungkukjang powder(68.2%), but only 43.5% and 29.4% of the respondents knew about raw chungkukjang and chungkukjang pill, respectively. When asked how often they eat chungkukjang products, traditional chungkukjang were taken often, but chungkukjang powder, raw chungkukjang and chungkukjang pill were shown to be taken relatively less. Over 60% of the students responded that they liked chungkukjang products, because of 'encourage by parents' and 'good for health', but there was no statistical difference by gender. When asked about the reasons for the dislike of the chungkukjang products, male students responded 'bad smell'of traditional chungkukjang, while female students 'eplied' not eating at home'. The students disliked the chungkukjang powder, chungkukjang pill and raw chungkukjang because of 'not knowing it.' These results showed that the social interest and support for the chungkukjang products were necessary and there was a need to advertise the chungkukjang products.

In this study, muffins were made with the addition of 0%, 3%, 6% and 9% of Chungkukjang powder and, the quality characteristics, such as volume, height, appearance, chromaticity and moisture contents, were measured using SEM (Scanning Electronic Microscope) measurement, texture tests and sensory tests. In the regards to volume, as the added amount of added Chungkukjang increased, the volume also increased. There was no significant difference in the height and moisture content of the muffins at the different Chungkukjang powder concentrations. Using SEM, it was shown that as the amount of added Chungkukjang increased, the gluten content decreased, which in turn caused the formation of thick cell membranes and rough pores and reduced gluten composition capacity. Luminosity L value in Chungkukjang muffin decreased as the amount of added Chungkukjang powder increased. There was significant difference in the red chromaticity a value and yellow chromaticity b value among the samples (p<0.05). The results of the texture test showed that the hardness of the Chungkukjang muffin decreased as the amount of added Chungkukjang increased. In addition, as the amount of added Chungkukjang increased, the adhesiveness decreased. There was no significant difference in springing, chewiness and gumminess among the samples. There was a significant difference in the cohesiveness among all other samples in cohesiveness (p<0.05). The results of the sensory test showed that the wave form of the Chungkukjang muffin decreased as the amount of added Chungkukjang increased. The pore of the muffin increased as the amount of added Chungkukjang increased. The color quality of the muffin decreased as the amount of added Chungkukjang increased. In terms of overall acceptability, 6% Chungkukjang was shown to result in the highest preference level.

Job's tears(Coix lachryma-jobi L.) chungkukjang powder and wheat bran powder were added to American cookies for practical use as healthy compounds. We examined the antioxidant activity and quality characteristics of cookies prepared with different amounts(as ratios of 10%, 20%, 25% to the flour quantity) of Job's tears chungkukjang & wheat bran powder. The antioxidant activity was estimated by DPPH free radical scavenging activity, the total phenolic compounds content and flavonoid content in Job's tears chungkukjang & wheat bran powder and cookies. The quality characteristics of Job's tears chungkukjang & wheat bran powder American cookie were estimated in terms of bulk density, pH of the dough, spread ratio, color, texture profile analysis, proximate composition, and sensory evaluations. While the spread ratio and the total polyphenol contents, flavonoid contents and DPPH free radical scavenging activity of cookies significantly increased, pH, hardness and L value of the cookies decreased with increasing Job's tears chungkukjang & wheat bran powder(p<0.01). The consumer acceptability score for the 10~20% Job's tears chungkukjang & wheat bran powder American cookie ranked significantly(p<0.05) higher than those of the other groups in texture andoverall preference. This suggests that Job's tears chungkukjang and wheat bran powder are good ingredient candidates for increasing consumer acceptability and functionality of cookies.

The effects of soybean powder and $chungkukjang$ powder on the quality characteristics of bread were investigated. The nutritional elements of the soybean powder, $chungkukjang$ powder and wheat flour differed remarkably. The average crude protein, ash, crude lipid, and fiber of soybean powder and $chungkukjang$ powder were approximately 3, 15, 8 and 5 times higher than those of the wheat flour, respectively. The properties of the dough to which soybean powder and $chungkukjang$ powder were added, i.e., its water absorption (%), development time (min) and stability (min) were measured with a farinograph. The water absorption, and development time of the farinogram increased, but its stability decreased when soybean powder and $chungkukjang$ powder were added to white wheat flour. As long as the mixture rate of soybean powder and $chungkukjang$ powder increased, the loaf volume of the bread declined, but the weight significantly increased. The L value decreased, but the a and b values increased in bread crumb that was made from soybean powder and $chungkukjang$ powder. The white wheat flour to which 10% soybean powder and 5% $chungkukjang$ powder were added had the highest scores in flavor, color, texture, taste, and overall acceptability in the sensory evaluation.

The quality characteristics of white pan bread prepared with chungkukjang powder were investigated. Breads were prepared with the addition of 0, 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5% of chungkukjang powder to the basic formulation. The bread volume slightly decreased from 0% to 1.5%. pH was nearly unchanged. As the added amount of chungkukjang powder increased, lightness (L-values) decreased while redness (a-values) and yellowness (b-values) increased. During storage, total viable cells of the control bread increased. In preference characteristics, the highest sensory scores for color, air cell, smell and softness were obtained when chungkukjang powder content was 0.5%. The intensity characteristics related to color and smell were the strongest with increasing chungkukjang powder. These results showed that the white pan bread with 0.5% chungkukjang powder was acceptable.

This study was intended to develop a value-added and functional sauce with addition of Chungkukjang powder. This study was conducted as the following procedure. 10%, 20%, 30%, and 40% of Chungkukjang powder was respectively added to make different Bechamel sauces. And then, physical testing (moisture, color value, viscosity, salinity, spreadability and pH) and sensory testing (a quantitative descriptive analysis and an acceptance test) were performed. After that, the correlation between the physical testing and the sensory testing was investigated to choose an optimal mixture ratio. The study results are presented as follows. As the addition percentage of Chungkukjang powder increased, a-value, b-value, salinity, spreadability, and pH significantly increased (p<0.001), but moisture content, L-value and viscosity decreased. The QDA result indicated that, regarding color intensity(5.89), Chungkukjang flavor(5.32) and Chungkukjang taste(6.26), the 40% addition group had the highest value, and that, regarding thickness(6.42), milk flavor(5.00), oily taste(5.21), mouth feel(5.32), the control group had the highest value. As a result, as the addition percentage of Chungkukjang powder increased, color intensity, Chungkukjang flavor, and Chungkukjang taste increased, but thickness, milk flavor, oily taste, and mouth feel decreased. According to the result of acceptance test, the 20% addition group had the highest value in terms of appearance, flavor, taste, glossy and overall acceptance. As shown earlier, it is considered that proper addition of Chungkukjang powder positively affects the overall acceptance, and that the 20% addition of Chungkukjang powder is most suitable to improve the sensory and physical quality-characteristics of Bechamel sauce.
