This study was performed to examine the quality characteristics of the sponge cakes with different contents (2-10% (w/w)) of lemon grass powder (LGP). An increase in LGP content in the cake led to a significant increase in the specific gravity of batter, baking loss rate, redness, hardness, cohesiveness, chewiness, and 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging activity of the cakes and a significant decrease in pH, moisture content, specific volume, height, volume and symmetry index, lightness, and yellowness of the cakes. Springness and resilience did not show any difference between the cakes. The consumer acceptance test indicated that the addition of LGP up to 2% did not cause a significant negative effect on the consumer acceptances in all attributes. The sponge cakes with 2% LGP can be recommended for manufacturing bakery.

Physicochemical properties of sponge cakes prepared using various amounts of rosemary powder were evaluated. Rosemary powder was used at 0, 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, and 0.7%(w/w). The second-stage specific densities of batter increased from 0.49 to 0.54 as the amount of rosemary powder rose from 0% to 0.7%(w/w). All specific densities were within the normal range. The pH of sponge cake batters increased as rosemary powder proportion rose, with statistical significance(p<0.05). The moisture contents of cake showed no difference on the first day but significantly decreased to 38.5-39.7% after 3 days. The acid values and peroxide values fell as the proportion of rosemary powder increased. With rising rosemary powder level, antioxidative capacity increased but physiological properties were not affected in the range of rosemary powder concentrations used in this study.

This study investigated the quality characteristics, antioxidant activities, and retarding retrogradation of sponge cakes made with 0%, 1%, 3%, 5% and 7% pumpkin (Cucurbita moschata Duch.) leaf powder. Specific capacity significantly increased with the addition (0.33~0.38), but baking loss and dough yield were not significantly different (p<0.05). In color, there was a decrease in the L-value, a-value and b-value, but ${\Delta}E$ increased in proportion to the amount of pumpkin leaf powder. Moisture content increased in the 0~3% additions, from 27.90~31.68%, but decreased in 5% and 7% (22.37% and 28.15%, respectively). pH tended to decrease significantly according to the amount of pumpkin leaf powder (p<0.05). Hardness increased with the addition of pumpkin leaf powder, and pumpkin leaf groups presented higher springiness and cohesiveness than the control. Chewiness was not significantly differ (p<0.05). In retarding retrogradation, Avrami exponent (n) showed that addition of 5% (0.1329) had more retarding retrogradation effect than the control (0.4319), whereas time constant (1/k) showed both 3% (100.00) and 5% (70.42) addition had more effect than control (18.45). Total phenols and flavonoids content increased proportionate to the addition levels. ABTS radical scavenging activity tended to increase according to the level of pumpkin leaf powder. In sensory properties, 5% addition showed maximum color, and 3% addition had the highest scores in flavor, moistness, sweetness, chewiness and overall acceptability. These results suggested that pumpkin leaf was a good addition to improve the quality characteristics, health and sensory preferences. The most appropriate proportion to have the effect of retarding retrogradation in sponge cake is 3%.

The feasibility of incorporating cinnamon as a value-added food ingredient in bakery food products was investigated using sponge cakes as a model system. Cinnamon powder was incorporated into sponge cakes at 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4% weight amounts, based on the total weight of wheat flour. Cake qualities, such as pH, moisture content, specific volume, and baking loss, decreased significantly with increasing levels of cinnamon powder added (p<0.05). In terms of color, lightness and yellowness decreased, with increasing levels of cinnamon powder. Redness significantly increased for crumb, but decreased for crust (p<0.05) with increasing levels of cinnamon powder. Hardness also significantly increased (p<0.05), while total polyphenol content significantly increased, up to a 2% addition of cinnamon powder, and gradually increased afterwards. Finally, the consumer acceptance test has indicated that higher levels of cinnamon incorporation (2% or higher, w/w) have a considerable adverse effect on consumer preferences in all attributes. In contrast, sponges cakes with a minimal level of cinnamon powder (1%, w/w) are recommended for taking advantage of the functional properties of cinnamon powder without sacrificing consumer acceptability.

Extracellular matrix(ECM) is known to function as a reservoir of endogenous growth factors, can be an effective delivery system of growth factor that easily lost bioactivity in solution. Fibrillar collagens like type I collagen, are the major constituent of the ECM and structural protein of bone. Also, it can be a scaffold for osteoblast migration. The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of absorbable Atelo-collagen Sponge($Teruplug^{(R)}$) insertion in tooth extraction sites on periodontal healing of the mandibular second molar after the extraction of the impacted third molar. The study population comprised 31 cases who had been scheduled for surgical removal of impacted mandibular third molars. All patients were in good general health and were not using any medication that would influence wound healing after surgery. In 15 cases control group, none was inserted into the tooth extraction site. In 16 cases experimental groups, $Teruplug^{(R)}$ was inserted into the tooth extraction site. We evaluated tooth mobility, pocket depth, gingival margin level preoperatively and 1 week, 2 weeks, 4 weeks, and 3 months postoperatively. The change was compared with two groups using Mann-Whitney test. The results were as follows. 1. There was no significant change of tooth mobility on both groups. 2. There was tendency of decreasing of previous pocket depth causing tooth extraction on both groups. 3. On gingival margin level, there was various change according to initial swelling and loss of attachment on both groups. 4. There was tendency of decreasing of gingival margin level on both groups because of removal of inflammation and decreasing of previous pocket depth. 5. There was large change of pocket depth on buccal middle, distal, lingual distal area because of tooth extraction and bone reduction. Compared with the control group and experimental group, we observed significant difference during some periods. The results of this study suggest that absorbable atelo-collagen sponge($Teruplug^{(R)}$) is relatively favorable bone void filler with prevention of tissue collapse, food packing and enhance periodontal healing.

The effects of sour liquid ferments with lactic acid bacteria on the baking properties and qualities of White Pan Bread were studied. The mixed culture of Lactobacillus brevis and Lactobacillus plantarum had higher acid equivalents and lower pH-values than single or mixed culture of other lactic acid bacteria which had been used for traditional sour dough bread. Optimum conditions of the incubation of lactic acid bacteria, which are incubation temperature time and culture medium compositions for lactic fermentation, were also investigated to find out optimum activity for good bread making. The mixed culture of L. brevis and l. plantarum incubated for 24 hours at 3$0^{\circ}C$ had the most optimum activity for bread manufacturing process and the qualities of the products. The addition of sour liquid ferments to the sponge dough effected on fermentation activity of the sponge dough to lower the level of pH to 4.64 and to produce more total titratable acidity(TTA) of 0.545, whereas conventional sponge dough bread had 0.46% of TTA. On comparison with control bread, the bread made with sour liquid ferments was found to have better specific volume, taste, symmetry, especially, organoleptic characteristics due to lactic acid, acetic acid and amino acid produced by lactic acid bacteria. Sour dough bread with liquid ferment was considered to be more effective to the inhibition of staling during storage for 6 days at $25^{\circ}C$ and to have longer shelf-than control.

The purpose of this study was to examine the quality variations of cake and cake batter when either butter or soybean oil was added in plain sponge cake batter. Soybean oil or butter was added to the batter at ratios of 20, 40, and 60% at 20, 35, 60, and $80^{\circ}C$. The physico-chemical properties of cake batter and cake were measured to evaluate the effects of ratio and temperature of butter and soybean oil. At higher ratios of butter or soybean oil and lower temperatures, the specific gravity of the cake batter increased while the interrelations among weight, volume, and specific loaf volume decreased. L- and b- values were the same, but a-value increased remarkably with higher ratios of butter. The effect of adding butter or soybean oil on hardness was shown to be lowest at 40% and $80^{\circ}C$. Baking loss in the baking process with soybean oil decreased with increasing oil quantity and temperature. Moisture content did not change with temperature, but did decline with increasing amounts of butter or soybean oil. These results show that the optimum condition for sponge cake would be 40% soybean oil at $80^{\circ}C$.

This study was investigated the quality characteristics of sponge cakes which were prepared b replacing 30% of flour with raw starch and resistant starches, such as, 4 cycled autoclaved-cooled RS 3 maize starch(RS 3), cross-linked RS 4 maize starch (RS 4) was superior to control cake( 100% flour cake). Addition of starches except RS 3 made crust and crumb color lighter and decreased hardness. Especially, cake containing RS 4 had the softest texture. For the adhesiveness and cohesiveness, cake containing RS 4 showed the least changes during 5 storage days. In DSC measurement, cakes containing RS 4 and ARS 4 showed high enthalpy in despite of low hardness. Sensory evaluation showed that cakes containing RS 4 and ARS 4 were significantly moist and soft compared to others. Overall acceptability of cakes containing starch, RS 4 and ARS 4 were evaluated excellent. Therefore, it can be suggested that RS 4 and ARS 4 can be added to the sponge cake for the quality improvement and functional element.

The effects of substituting whey protein isolate (WPI) for butter in the preparation of butter sponge cake were determined by objective and subjective tests. The specific gravity of cake batter, the cooking loss and moisture content of cake were all decreased with increasing amounts of WPI, whereas specific loaf volume was increased. With increasing WPI content, redness of crust and crumb, as well as lightness of crumb were increased, whereas lightness of crust, as well as yellowness of crust and crumb were all decreased. Hardness, chewiness, gumminess, adhesiveness and fracturability were increased significantly with increasing amounts of WPI, however, cohesiveness, springiness, and resilience were decreased. In the sensory evaluation, 20% WPI-substituted cake displayed scores similar to those of control. These results suggest that substitution of 20% WPI could be the best ratio for the preparation of butter sponge cake.

This study was performed to examine the quality characteristics and antioxidant activities of the sponge cakes containing different concentrations (2-10%, w/w) of aronia powder (AP). The specific gravity of the dough and the baking loss rate were significantly increased with higher AP content. The specific volume, height, volume index, and pH were significantly decreased with the increase in AP. The lightness and redness values increased, while the yellowness values decreased with increasing amounts of AP. Textural characteristics, such as hardness, gumminess, and chewiness significantly increased on addition of AP. The DPPH radical scavenging activities of the cakes increased significantly with the increase in concentration of AP. In sensory evaluation, the group with cakes containing AP at 2% concentration was ranked higher than other cakes with respect to all parameters, except for color. Therefore, the results of this study suggest that sponge cakes prepared with 2% AP is the most suitable product, based on its sensory characteristics and antioxidant activities.
