Quality and shelf life of the wet noodle made with 1, 3, 5, and 7% (w/w%) Lycii fructus powder were investigated. Increase in L. fructus power concentration increased the initial pasting temperature and cooking loss, while maximum viscosity, temperature at maximum viscosity, weights and volumes of cooking noodles, and textural properties (hardness, cohesiveness, chewiness, springiness) of cooked noodle prepared with composite flour decreased. The sensory evaluation of cooked noodles showed that wet noodles with high quality could be produced by 3% inclusion of L. fructus powder. Bacterial counts of wet noodles made with L. fructus powder were lower than those of the control after storage at $5{\pm}1^{\circ}C$. Shelf life of wet noodles during storage at $5{\pm}1^{\circ}C$ extended as the L. fructus powder concentration increased.

The effects of adding varying amounts (0%, 1.5%, 3%, 6%, and 12%) of the medium roasted coffee powder on the quality characteristics of rice cookies, which were prepared without wheat flour, were studied. The ingredients were mixed, cut, baked at $170{\sim}180^{\circ}C$ for 10 min, cooled, and packaged in plastic bags. Lightness ($L^*$), yellowness ($b^*$), chroma ($C^*$), and hue angle ($h^{\circ}$) of cookies decreased as the addition amount of the coffee powder increased. Redness ($a^*$) increased with the amount of the coffee powder. Firmness and phenolic compounds tended to increase with the increase in coffee content, however, the firmness levels of the cookies containing 1.5~3% coffee powder were insignificantly different. Antioxidant activity of cookies increased with the increase in the amount of coffee powder. Antioxidant activity of the cookies added with 3% coffee powder was significantly higher than that of the cookies added with 1.5% coffee powder. As a results of the sensory evaluation, the intensity of darkness, smell, bitterness, hardness of the cookies tended to increase with the increase in the amount of coffee powder. The overall acceptability of the cookies was significantly higher for the cookies containing 1.5~3% coffee powder than for the other samples. These results suggested that coffee powder (approximately 3%) can be utilized as an additive for preparing rice cookies which have simultaneously high antioxidant activity and acceptability.

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of Curcuma longa L. powder (CLP) on the quality characteristics of a dumpling shell. Dumpling shell samples were prepared with wheat flour and different amounts of CLP were added to them, after which their instrumental characteristics and sensory evaluation were investigated. The gelatinization temperature of the CLP-wheat flours composite increased, whereas its initial viscosity at $95^{\circ}C$, viscosity at $95^{\circ}C$ after 15 min and maximum viscosity all fell with the increasing CLP content, as measured via amylography. As increasing amounts of CLP were added, the L value decreased, whereas the a and b values increased. With regard to the textural characteristics, the CLP additive became harder, more cohesive and adhesive, and less springy. The DPPH free radical scavenging activity increased significantly as the CLP content increased (p<0.05). Overall, the dumpling shells with 3% CLP were preferred over the other samples, as tested via sensory evaluation.

This study was carried out to investigate the quality characteristics of bread containing sweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam) leaf powder (0, 2, 3, 5, and 7% of the total flour). We found that the addition of sweetpotato leaf powder decreased the pH of the dough, whereas the total titratable acidity increased and the specific volume and baking loss of bread were decreased. However, the moisture content of the bread did not show any significant differences. The L and a values of the bread inner crumb were decreased by the addition of sweetpotato leaf powder, however, the b value was increased. The 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl-radical scavenging activity, total polyphenol, lutein and ${\beta}-carotene$ contents were increased significantly by the addition of sweetpotato leaf powder. The taste, color, flavor, chewiness and overall acceptability of bread containing 2~3% sweetpotato leaf powder were better than those of the controls. We found that the sample group with 2~3% sweetpotato leaf powder is the optimum content for making bread.

This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of lotus leaf and lotus root powder on the quality characteristics of sponge cake. Percentages of 4, 8 and 12% of two kinds of lotus powder were added to the batter based on flour content. Baking and cooling loss rate, volume and specific loaf volume, crumb color, texture, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and sensory evaluation of the products were analyzed. The baking and cooling loss rate of the control was lower than cakes with added lotus leaf and lotus root powder. The volume of the control was the largest, and as the amount of lotus leaf and lotus root powder increased, volume and specific loaf volume became smaller. The lightness and yellowness values of the control were higher than those of the experimental cakes, and the loaves with 12% added lotus root powder showed the lowest value. Redness of the experimental cakes increased. In the textual property evaluation, hardness of the control and sponge cakes containing 4% lotus leaf, and lotus root powder appeared to have the lowest value. As the amount of lotus leaf and lotus root powder increased, hardness increased. Springiness showed the same tendency, but cohesiveness of the control revealed the lowest value. The structure of the cake crumb by SEM, revealed that the crumb cells and grains of the experimental cakes were opened and coarse, as the amount of lotus leaf and lotus root powders increased. In a sensory evaluation, sponge cakes containing lotus root powder were preferred rather than those with lotus leaf powder. As a result, good sponge cakes were prepared by adding 4% lotus leaf powder or 8% lotus root powder.

This study investigated the quality of muffin prepared with various concentrations of freeze dried-perilla leaves (Perilla frutescens var. japonica HARA) powder. Muffin was prepared by addition of 0, 3, 6 and 9% powder to the flour of basic formulation. The weight of muffin decreased with increase in freeze dried-perilla leaves powder concentration, but no constant tendency in the bottom and upper dimensions by its addition was found. The height and baking loss rate of the muffin increased with increase in the powder concentration but with no significant differences. Lightness and yellowness of muffin decreased as the concentration of the powder increased, whereas no significant differences in the redness was found with increased powder concentration. The hardness of muffin increased, and springiness decreased with increase in the powder concentration, although not significant. The cohesiveness, gumminess and chewiness showed no consistent tendency by addition of the powder. The antioxidative activity measured by 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging activity of muffin increased as the concentration of the powder increased. The muffin contained 0~6% freeze dried-perilla leaves powder had acceptable sensory properties, such as color, taste, and overall acceptability. Results indicated that optimal concentration of freeze dried-perilla leaves powder into the muffin formula was 3~6% (w/w).
