The purpose of this study was to develop functional bread added with dried mulberry pomace. The effect of dried mulberry pomace (0, 1, 3 or 5%) on the quality characteristics of breads was evaluated. The weight, volume and height were higher in bread added with dried mulberry pomace, compared with control bread. As the concentration of the dried mulberry pomace increased, decreased in pH and increased in acidity. The sugar concentration($^{\circ}Brix$) and reducing sugar(%) increased with the amount of dried mulberry pomace. The hunter color system L(lightness) and b(yellowness) value of the crumb of breads with increasing dried mulberry pomace were decreased, but the a(redness) value was increased. Contents of total phenol increased with addition amount of dried mulberry pomace. The antioxidant activities such as DPPH and hydroxy radical scavanging activity of the dried mulberry pomace increased with increase of dried mulberry pomace amount. The sensory results showed that scores of over-all preference of the breads added with dried mulberry pomace were higher than that of control.

Mulberry pomace, a by-product obtained from mulberry juice, has not been utilized as food. In this study, antioxidant activities, proximate composition and physiochemical characteristics of mulberry pomace were evaluated and compared with those of mulberry fruit or mulberry concentrate. Mulberry fruit was pressed and filtered. The filtrate and residue were used as mulberry juice and mulberry pomace, respectively. Mulberry juice was evaporated, after which a concentrate ($24.7^{\circ}Brix$) was obtained. Moisture contents of mulberry concentrate, freeze-dried mulberry, and pomace were 68.7%, 6.03%, and 7.32%, respectively. Reducing sugar contents were 45.7% in freeze-dried mulberry, 24.5% in pomace, and 30.9% in mulberry concentrate. The pH and acidity of the three samples ranged from 5.80~5.92 and, 0.035~0.080%, respectively. Carbohydrate and crude ash contents were the highest in mulberry fruit, whereas crude protein, fat, and fiber contents were the highest in pomace. Redness of the Hunter color system was 4.7 in mulberry and 4.3 in pomace. Total phenolic content was the highest in mulberry fruit, whereas total flavonoid content was the highest in pomace. Antioxidant activities (DPPH, hydroxyl, and ABTS radical scavenging activities) were enhanced in the order of mulberry fruit> pomace> mulberry concentrate. Especially, antioxidant activities, such as DPPH and hydroxyl radical scavenging activities, of mulberry pomace were similar with those of mulberry fruit. Based on these results, freeze-dried mulberry pomace may be considered as a functional as well as an additive material for food processing.

Mulberry pomace, a by-product obtained from mulberry juice, has not been utilized as a food material for food processing. In this study, the quality characteristics and antioxidant activities of chocolate to which mulberry pomace has been added were evaluated. Freeze-dried mulberry pomace was added to white chocolate at the level of 0, 0.5, 1.5 or 2.5%, and then the white chocolate ganache was put between two layers of dark chocolate. The moisture content and sweetness were not significantly different among treatments, but reducing sugar content was increased, according to the amount of mulberry pomace powder. The Hunter color L(lightness) and b(yellowness) values decreased, according to the mulberry pomace powder amount, whereas the a(redness) increased. The hardness increased according to the mulberry pomace powder amount. Total phenol and flavonoid contents increased, according to the mulberry pomace powder amount. Antioxidant activities(DPPH and hydroxyl radical scavenging activities) also increased, according to the mulberry pomace powder amount. The result of the sensory intensity test revealed that the scores of color, mulberry taste, hardness and chewiness were the highest in the 2.5% mulberry pomace powder added chocolate. Sensory preference test results showed that chocolate added with 1.5% mulberry pomace powder had the highest scores in color, flavor, taste, texture and overall preference. It is suggested that chocolate to which mulberry pomace powder has been added may be a functional chocolate, with high antioxidant activity.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the storage quality characteristics of bread with added dried mulberry pomace (DMP, 0, 1, 3 or 5%) during storage at $4^{\circ}C$ for 7 days. During the entire storage period, the moisture content was higher in breads containing DMP compared with the control bread. Textural properties by TPA showed that the hardness of DMP bread maintained a lower hardness than that of the control during the entire storage period. Moreover, DSC (Differential Scanning Calorimetry) result showed that ${\Delta}H$ (crystal melting enthalpy) of the bread containing DMP was lower than that of the control bread, which indicate the retarding of retrogradation. The sensory preference test results demonstrated that the bread with 3% DMP had higher scores in over-all preference than the others. These results suggest that DMP delays the retrogradation of bread during storage.
