The aim of this study was to determine the optimum addition amount of Job's tears flour, in place of rice flour, in the preparation of Yulmoo Jeolpyon (Job's tears rice cake). The moisture contents of the Jeolpyon samples with added Job's tears flour were 43-45%. With increasing additions of Job's tears flour, the L-value decreased, whereas the a- and b-values increased. In the mechanical evaluation of the Job's tears Jeolpyon, hardness decreased with increasing amounts of Job's tears flour. Cohesiveness, springiness, gumminess and chewiness were lower in the Jeolpyon samples with added Job's tears flour with more than 0% Job's tears flour, respectively. The adhesiveness did not differ significantly with the addition of Job's tears flour. In the sensory evaluation, overall acceptability was highest at the 20% level of Job's tear flour. In conclusion the Jeolpyon made with 20% Job's tear flour to rice flour was found to be the best formulation, in terms of its overall acceptability and textural qualities.

The baking property, chemical composition, instrumental characteristics and sensory quality of yeast breads containing various mixing percentage of Job's-tears flour with wheat flour were studied. The loaf volume and baking quality of the yeast bread made from mixing of 30% Job's-tears flour were similar to those of wheat flour bread. The contents of crude protein, crude fat, and crude ash in Job's-tears flour breads were much higher than those of wheat flour brad. Instrumental rheological characteristics of the yeast breads were measured with a Texture Analyzer. As the addition level of Job's-tears flours increased, hardness of the yeast breads increased but fracturability, adhesiveness, springness, cohesiveness, gumminess, chewiness and resilience decreased. The results of sensory evaluation revealed that Job's-tears flour was added to wheat flour at a replacement level of 10% without a large adverse effect on flavor, taste, mouthfeel and aftertaste.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the potential hypolipidemic effect of job's tears diet with the controlled intake of fiber in streptozotocin induced diabetic rats. Forty eight rats were fed either control diet or experimental diets (Raw, milled job's tears(RMJ); Raw, whole grain job's tears(RWJ);Steamed, milled job's tears(SMJ);Roasted, milled job's tears(OMJ)) for 3 weeks. The levels of total cholesterol (TC), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), free fatty acid(FFA) and triglyceride (TG) in plasma, liver and skeletal muscle were compared. Compared to diabetic control group, the level of plasma TC was lower in OMJ an SMJ fed rats, and was not different from that in RMJ and RWJ fed rats. The level of LDL-C was significantly lower in RMJ, OMJ and SMJ fed rats. For plasma HDL-C levels, no difference was observed among all group. Plasma FFA level significantly lower in RMJ, SMJ and RWJ fed rats, Plasma TG a levels of all job's ears fed groups were 50∼70% lower and liver TG levels of all job's tears fed groups were 70∼80% lower than those fo diabetic control group. For muscle TG, no differences were seen among all groups. These results suggest that steamed job's tears and roasted job's tears could have the potentaila on improving lipid profile fo diabetes in clinical setting and the different cooking methods of job's tears might affect the lipid profile of the diabetic rats.

In order to make use of Job's tears widely, Job's tears starch was analyzed and determinded the contents of amylose, amylographical and other physicochemical properties. And also the yeast breads and rice cakes were made from flour and rice flours with various mixing ratios of Job's tears flour and then they were tested for suitability to preparation of bread and rice cake. 1. The starch contents of Job's tears showed 12~20%. Which was about one third of rice or waxyrice starch. But amounts of crude proteins, fats, and total ashes in Job's tears were higher than rice or waxyrice. Job' tears starch was composed of amylopectins only, and was similar to that of waxyrice starch. 2. Depends upon the Amylogram of each starch, initial gelatinization temperature of Job's tears starch was the highest among three starches of rice, waxyrice, and Job's tears. Maximum viscosity of Job's tears starch was 860BU, then it was about two times of rice starch viscosity. 3. By the sensory evaluation results, the taste of bread prepared with mixing of 10% Job's tears flour was better than flour bread and the volume and grains of the bread made from mixing of 10%, 20% Job's tears flour were similar to that of flour bread, but the taste, volume and grains of bread made from 30% mixed flour were undesirable. The rice cake Prepared from mixed flour with 25% Job's tears flour has shown to be desirable.

Job,s tears powder and green tea powder were added to bread mixture and their effects on the quality of bread were investigated using sensory evaluation and some physical tests. Sensory evaluation showed that flavor, hardness and chewiness were increased as the amount of Job's tears powder and green tea powder was increased. Lightness and redness values decreased with the addition of Job's tears powder and green tea powder, while yellowness values increased. Texture measurement showed that springiness was highest in bread with 3% green tea powder among the batches tested, while gumminess showed highest in control. Hardness of 3% green tea powder was lower than that of control. It appears that the higher the moistness, the higher the value of redness. Chewiness was positively correlated with yellowness. Gumminess was negatively correlated with color and flavor. Bread with 1% green tea powder and 10% Job's tears powder showed good overall preference. Scanning electron microscopy revealed that the addition of Job's tears powder and green tea powder to bread exhibited small pores and crude surface.
