This study evaluated the quality characteristics of rice cookies prepared with different amounts (0, 3, 6, 9%) of hibiscus powder. The pH of cookie dough decreased as the amount of hibiscus powder increased. Additionally, the moisture content and spread factor were higher in groups containing hibiscus powder than in the control groups. Furthermore, the L-value decreased with increasing hibiscus powder, while the a-value increased. The incorporation of hibiscus powder into cookies decreased hardness. Additionally, consumer acceptance testing revealed that the addition of up to 6% hibiscus powder was desirable in terms of overall acceptability. The total phenol content of the control groups was 12.32 mg GAE/100 g, while the levels in the groups containing hibiscus powder ranged from 23.32 to 59.86 mg GAE/100 g. Finally, DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activity increased with increasing hibiscus powder level. Taken together, the results of this study indicate that amending cookies with 6% hibiscus powder can improve antioxidant activities without affecting sensory quality.

This study assessed the quality characteristics of cookies made with different amounts (0, 5, 10, 15%) of black carrot powder. The density and pH value of cookie dough were constant for all groups. Compared to the control group, the moisture content was higher in groups containing the black carrot powder. Increasing the amount of black carrot powder resulted in decreased L-value but increased a-value. Furthermore, the hardness of cookies increased with increasing amounts of black carrot powder. The consumer acceptance test revealed that up to 15% black carrot powder addition was desirable. Total phenol content of the control group was 24.0 mg GAE/100 g, while black carrot powder groups ranged from 45.5 to 103.5 mg GAE/100 g. The DPPH radical scavenging activity was also augmented with increasing volumes of black carrot powder. Taken together, we recommend that cookies with 15% black carrot powder are desirable in terms of overall acceptability and antioxidant activity.

This study was conducted to find out the bakery processing suitability of maca and to develop rice-based processed foods. We investigated the antioxidant activity and physicochemical properties of rice cookies prepared with the addition of maca (Lepidium meyenii) powder (1%, 2%, 3%, and 4% of the total materials). We observed an increase in the total polyphenol and flavonoid content, and DPPH-ABTS⁺ radical scavenging activity of the rice cookies as the proportion of added maca powder increased (p<0.05). The quality characteristics such as the "a" value, "b" value, and the hardness of the cookies increased with an increase in the proportion of maca powder (p<0.05) in the cookie, whereas the moisture content, pH of the dough, spread ratio, loss rate, leavening rate, and "L" values showed a significant decrease (p<0.05). In the sensory evaluation results, consumer acceptability showed a significantly higher value in the 2% maca cookie group (p<0.05), and the characteristic intensity rating (color, flavor, bitterness) increased as the proportion of maca added to the cookie increased (p<0.05). Therefore, this suggests that adding 2% maca powder as the functional ingredient in rice cookies can result in rice bakery products with excellent qualities.

This study evaluated the quality characteristics and antioxidant activities of cookies after adding black ginseng powder at ratios of 0%, 1%, 3%, 5%, and 7%, and the potential of black ginseng as a functional food. The moisture content increased with an increase in the black ginseng powder content while the pH decreased. The L value decreased with increase in the black ginseng powder content while the a and b values increased. The hardness decreased with increase in the black ginseng powder content. Notably, antioxidant activities, such as 2,2-diphenyl-1-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH), 2-2'-azinobis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid)diammonium salt (ABTS) radical scavenging showed the highest increases in cookies containing 7% black ginseng powder. The total phenol and flavonoid contents significantly increased according to the amount of black ginseng powder added. These results suggest that black ginseng powder can be applied to cookies to achieve high quality and antioxidant activity.

This study evaluated the physicochemical and sensory characteristics of cookies containing various concentrations(0, 3, 5, 7 and 9%) of Enteromorpha intenstinalis powder. Cookies containing E. intenstinalis powder were significantly lower in L value than of the control. The L value of brightness decreased significantly when E. intenstinalis powder was added to the cookie formula. The a and b values also decreased significantly with the addition of E. intenstinalis powder. The loss and leavening rates were significantly higher when 5% E. intenstinalis powder was added to the samples. The spread ratio increased proportionally with the amount of E. intenstinalis powder added to the cookie formulation The hardness decreased significantly according to the amount of E. intenstinalis powder. A sensory evaluation of acceptability(appearance, flavor, color, texture and overall quality) indicated that adding a 5% E. intenstinalis powder was most the acceptable treatment compared to the other treatments.

This study examined the effects of Cornus fructus addition to suger snap cookies on WRC (water rentention capacity) and AWRC (alkaline water retention capacity). WRC and AWRC increased as more Cornus fructus powder was added, whereas the sedimentation value and Pelshenke value decreased. Regarding cookie color, L value decreased, whereas the a and b values increased. As the cookie diameter became smaller, thickness increased and spread factor decreased. Hardness of the cookies decreased, and preference was highest for cookies with 5% added Cornus fructus. The preferences for cookies were in the following order: 7% < 3% < 1% < 0% < 5% addition. In conclusion, addition of less than 5% Cornus fructus powder was the most desirable. To complement cookie appearance, it seems necessary to adjust the water content of Cornus fructus powder or add an emulsifier.

The purpose of this paper was to study cookies that could be sweetened by consumers through the addition of Morinda citrifolia powder, and also to examine the quality characteristics of such cookies in order to expand the uses of Morinda citrifolia. The addition of Morinda citrifolia powder did not have an observable affect on cookie density, although it did decrease pH levels. A central finding was the lack of significant differences in moisture content of cookies made with Morinda citrifolia powder at the significance level of 5%. Significant differences were found in the diameter, which represents spreadability, in the group of cookies made with Morinda citrifolia powder. The L value decreased considerably with the addition of Morinda citrifolia powder. The control also recorded the highest hardness points and had significant differences from the groups added with 3% and 6% Morinda citrifolia powder. The sensory evaluation results showed no significant differences in the taste, flavor, texture, and overall preference between the group of 6% Morinda citrifolia powder and the control except for color, which suggests that cookies made with 6% Morinda citrifolia powder seem to be ideal.

This study evaluated the effect of the substitution of flour with Angelica plant(Bakluncho) powder on the characteristics of batter cake and cookies. The specific volume of batter cake was increased significantly with increasing content of Angelica plant powder, but hardness was decreased slightly. The specific volume of cookies didn't show significant difference, and the width detennined by the water content in the dough was decreased with increasing content of Angelica plant powder. The L value in the crust and crumbs of the cake was significantly the largest value in the control group. The a and b values were the highest in the 5% substituted sample group. The L, a and b values of the cookies also showed the same pattern. According to the sensory evaluation of cakes and cookies, the scores of flavor, color, and texture were raised by the addition of Angelica plant powder. The acceptance tests of cakes and cookies showed a higher overall acceptability than those of the 1% and 3% substituted samples.

The effect of baking on the consumer perception and sensory characteristics was investigated using a model system of cookies incorporated with strawberry powder as a value-added food ingredient. Strawberry powder was incorporated into cookie dough at 4 levels (0%, 2%, 4%, and 6%, w/w) by replacing equivalent amount of wheat flour of the cookie dough. After aging and sheeting, cookies were baked at $170^{\circ}C$ for 15 min in an oven. The baked cookies were cooled to room temperature for 1 h and packed in airtight bags prior to all measurements. In terms of color, control received the most favorable mean score, which is significantly higher than others (p<0.05) followed by the 4% sample. The consumer preference on taste and aftertaste was not significantly affected by the amount of strawberry powder incorporated in the formulation (p>0.05). Samples with 4% strawberry powder received the highest mean flavor score of 6.28 which is significantly higher than that of 6% sample (p<0.05). In overall, substitution of 4% strawberry powder in the formulation would result in the most favorable strawberry cookies by the consumers with taking advantages of health benefits of strawberry. Correlation analysis indicated that strawberry powder concentration was significantly correlated positively with sensory color and hardness and negatively correlated with consumers' overall acceptability (p<0.05). Consumers' aftertaste was significantly correlated with overall acceptability which was negatively correlated with sensory hardness (p<0.05). Sensory hardness was highly correlated with sensory color attribute (p<0.05).

This study was conducted to evaluate sensory properties of sugar cookie containing sucralose. Relative sweetness of sucralose to sucrose in a cookie system was examined with paired comparison tests and the result was applied to low calorie cookie preparation using polydextrose as a bulking agent. Physical and sensory properties and consumer acceptability of sugar cookies containing various levels of sucralose and polydextrose were evaluated. Relative sweetness of sucralose to sucrose was 700 times in sugar cookie. Instrumental hardness and fracturability increased as the levels of replacement with sucralose increased. Spread ratios of sugar cookies where sucrose was partially and totally replaced with sucralose and corresponding amount of polydextrose were higher than that with sucrose only. Intensities of bitter taste, salty taste, hardness and molar packing of sugar cookies where sucrose was entirely replaced with sucralose and polydextrose were higher than that those of the other cookies. Acceptability test indicated 75% replacement with sucralose and adequate amount of polydextrose can be used without harming overall, appearance and flavor acceptability while texture acceptability was slightly lower.
