We investigated the characteristics of breads containing Schizandra chinensis Baillon (SCB) added as whole powder, as a powder prepared from juice, and as a concentrate prepared from a 95% (v/v) ethanolic fruit extract, added to wheat flour at 0.5% (w/w). Addition of any form of SCB lowered the pH and increased the titratable acidity in both doughs and breads compared with control values, and the whole and juice powders were more effective in this respect than was the concentrated ethanolic extract. Dough volume during fermentation was increased by addition of whole powder and concentrated ethanolic extract, but no baking loss was evident upon addition of any form of SCB. Regarding the bread surface, the lightness (L) value was increased by addition of juice powder and concentrated ethanolic extract, but neither the redness(a) and nor the yellowness (b) values showed such increases. Internal color measurements showed increased '-a-' value upon addition of any form of SCB, and increased '-b-' value when concentrated ethanolic extract was used, however, there were no significant changes in L value. Sensory evaluation of taste, flavor, color, and overall acceptability showed that bread prepared using whole powder was more acceptable than were the other forms.

To explore cattail pollen powder as a functional food ingredient, we analyzed the general components of pollen powder, tested changes in the physical properties of dough containing the powder, and investigated the process ability of powder-containing dough in bread making by adding 3%, 6%, or 9% by weight of pollen powder to wheat flour. Cattail pollen powder consisted of (all w/w) 12.7-13.2% water, 15.7-17.8% crude protein, 1.3% crude fat, 7.5-7.7% free sugar, 14.7-18.6% crude fiber, 3.4-4.9% pollen, and 49.7-55.9% soluble nitrogen-free extract (NFE). Analysis of the physical properties of dough mixed with pollen powder showed that as more pollen powder was added, the absorption rate increased, but dough stability decreased. With increasing levels of cattail pollen powder, the falling number decreased, and amylase activity increased. Fermentability was highest in dough made with 3% by weight of pollen powder, and the bread product made from such dough had the greatest volume. As more cattail pollen powder was added, the moisture activity in dough tended to decrease to a greater extent than seen in control dough, and this tendency increased with time. We found that longer storage periods were associated with greater hardness and springiness, which indicated degradation in product quality. Therefore, it is suggested that bread products containing cattail pollen powder should be consumed within 3 days of preparation. In a taste survey, bread baked with 3% (w/w) cattail pollen powder scored highest in all questionnaire items.

Trienzyme extraction coupled with microplate assay (Lactobacillus casei subsp. rhamnosus) was validated and applied for the determination of folate (vitamin B9) in Korean ancestral rite foods. Foods included five Guk (Tang), eleven Sookchaes, eight Jeoks, nine Jeons, six Jjims, and twenty desserts. Folate was detected in all samples: Guk (Tang) 4.62~18.84, Sookchae 6.13~48.40, Jeok 5.49~49.50, Jeon 6.96~30.77, Jjim 10.34~38.88, and desserts $3.33{\sim}49.55{\mu}g/100g$. The lowest folate content was observed in Sikhye ($3.33{\mu}g/100g$), whereas the highest was observed in Songhwa-dasik ($49.55{\mu}g/100g$). Folate analyses of certified reference materials, BCR-121 (whole meal flour) and BCR-487 (pig liver), showed good recoveries of 90.0% (0.45 mg/kg) and 92.4% (12.3 mg/kg), respectively. The recoveries (96.0 to 106.2%) obtained by analyzing eight spiked samples with different matrices also showed good accuracy. Both repeatability and reproducibility were less than 5%, indicating good precision. The quality control chart (n>30) obtained by running commercial folate fortified-wheat flour once a week for about 10 months showed that all assays were under control. All validation method and analytical quality control results showed that folate contents in Korean ancestral rite foods produced by microplate assay were reliable enough to be used for the construction of a national folate database.

This study investigated the quality characteristics of sponge cake by introduction of buckwheat powder (BP). Cake batter was prepared by substituting wheat flour with an equivalent amount of BP based on weight. Sponge cakes were prepared with different amounts of BP (0, 10, 20, and 30%, respectively). Their physicochemical and sensory properties were tested. The specific gravity was not affected by the addition of BP (10~30%) (p<0.05). The lightness (L value) and yellowness (b value) of the crumb significantly decreased with the increase in the BP contents (p<0.05), whereas the redness (a value) increased (p<0.05). As the increase in the amount of BP addition, the hardness, cake volume (mL), baking loss rate (%), and specific volume (mL/g) significantly decreased (p<0.05). On the contrary, the cake weight increased. In the sensory evaluation, no significant differences in terms of color, taste, texture, flavor, and overall acceptance were observed among the different amout of BP addition (0~20%) (p<0.05). Overall, the sponge cake prepared with the addition of 20% BP was recommended to use due to its advantages in functional property.

The twenty strains of Lactobacillus genus were tested for the optimal sponge fermentation of soda cracker. The six strains such as L. brevis, L. delbrueckii, L. fermentum, L. leichmanii, L. plantarum and L. sanfrancisco were selected because these strains did not smell off-flavor and showed the high value of TTA (total titrable acidity) after the fermentation. The selected strains consisted of the five strains of L. brevis, L. delbrueckii, L. fermentum, L. leichmanii and L. plantarum that mainly inhabited soda clacker and L. sanfrancisco that existed in San Francisco bread. The lactic acid bacteria were inoculated to the medium containing 10% wheat flour and then pH, TTA, acetic acid and lactic acid were measured during the sponge fermentation. The four strains of L. brevis, L. delbrueckii, L. fermentum and L. plantarum were used for the mixed lactic acid bacteria of sponge fermentation because the TTAs of L. brevis, L. fermentum and L. plantarum were higher than those of other lactic acid bacteria and L. delbrueckii rapidly produced organic acids and a large amount of acetic acid. Among the combination of L. brevis, L. fermentum, L. delbrueckii and L. plantarum, the mixed lactic acid bacteria of L. brevis, L. fermentum and L. plantarum showed the highest TTA, the lowest pH and the largest amount of acetic acid. Therefore, the mixed lactic acid bacteria of L. brevis, L. fermentum and L. plantarum were used for optimal sponge fermentation of soda cracker.

This study was performed to investigate the quality characteristics of sponge cake made with leek(Allium tuberosum Rottler) powder. In order to evaluate the physical and sensory properties of different cake, the leek powder was added to wheat flour at various ratios(3, 5, 7, 9%, w/w). The specific gravity of bread dough tends to increase with the addition of leek powder. The moisture levels of the sponge cakes made with leek powder were higher than that of the control. Crumb color values, lightness(L) and redness(a) decreased by leek powder addition, while yellowness(b) was significantly increased (p<0.05). In texture analyses, hardness, cohesiveness, springiness and gumminess decreased with the addition of leek powder. In sensory evaluations, the 3% leek powder sponge cake showed higher sensory property scores than others(p<0.05).

We conducted this study to investigate the quality characteristics and antioxidant activity of noodles combined with Cheongyang hot pepper juice (CPJ). The noodles were evaluated for cooking properties (weight, volume, water absorption, and turbidity), Hunter's color values, texture characteristics, sensory characteristics, capsaicin, dihydrocapsaicin, polyphenol contents, and antioxidant activity. The cooked weight, volume, and turbidity of the cooked treated noodles were not significantly different from the cooked control noodles but water absorption decreased. The Hunter's color L value of the cooked noodles was not significantly different between treatment types, but there was a significantly higher b value with increasing concentrations of CPJ. The texture characteristics (hardness, adhesiveness, springiness, gumminess, and chewiness) of the cooked treated noodles were not significantly different from the cooked control noodles. A sensory evaluation indicated that cooked noodles treated with 2% CPJ were significantly (p<0.05) better than the cooked control noodles. Capsaicin, dihydrocapsaicin, and polyphenol contents, and antioxidant activity were significantly (p<0.05) increased with increasing concentrations of CPJ. In conclusion, CPJ could be used as an ingredient to increase the sensory and antioxidant properties of wheat flour noodles without affecting their quality characteristics.

The feasibility of incorporating jujube powder as a value-added food ingredient in bakery food products, using a model system of muffins, was investigated. Jujube powder was incorporated into muffins at 0, 5, 10, 15, and 20% weight amounts based on the total weight of wheat flour. Qualities, such as pH, volume index, height, and moisture content, of muffins decreased significantly with increasing levels of jujube powder added (p<0.05). In terms of color, lightness decreased, whereas redness increased significantly for both crust and crumb (p<0.05) with increasing levels of jujube powder. Baking loss also decreased gradually, while hardness and 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity were significantly influenced with higher amounts of jujube powder in the formulation (p<0.05). Finally, the consumer acceptance test indicated that the highest levels of jujube incorporation (20%, w/w) had a considerable adverse effect on consumer preferences in all attributes. In contrast, muffins with moderate levels of jujube powder (10%, w/w) are recommended (with respect to overall preference score) for taking advantage of the functional properties of jujube powder without sacrificing consumer acceptability.

This study investigated proximate compositions and quality characteristics of wet noodles with the addition of freeze dried garlic powders prepared at 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, and 4.0% based on flour source, respectively. The moisture, crude protein, crude fat, nitrogen free extract, crude fiber, and crude ash of the freeze dried garlic powder were $4.72{\pm}0.14%,\;19.46{\pm}0.28%,\;1.21{\pm}0.10%,\;68.45{\pm}2.06%,\;2.38{\pm}0.05%,\;and\;3.78{\pm}0.06%$, respectively. The cooked weight, volume, water absorption of cooked noodles were decreased, but the turbidity of soup was increased with the addition of garlic powder. Increased of L (lightness), a (redness) and b (yellowness) values were caused as the amount of garlic powder increased in dough. Decrease of L value and increase of a and b value were shown with the increase of garlic powder in cooked noodle. The cooked noodles with garlic powder were significantly lower in hardness, adhesiveness, springiness chewiness, gumminess and cohesiveness than those of 100% wheat noodle. Sensory evaluation indicated that cooked noodles with 0.5% garlic powder was not significantly different from the control.

This study evaluated the qualitative properties of Buchimgaru supplemented with JAP (Jerusalem Artichoke Powder). In Buchimgaru, JAP and wheat flour were mixed in ratios of 1:9 (10% JAP), 2:8 (20% JAP), and 3:7 (30% JAP). The values for texture profiles (hardness, chewiness, springiness, and cohesiveness) decreased when JAP was added to Buchimgae formulations. The fructan contents of Buchimgaru supplemented with 0, 10, 20, and 30% JAP were 1.52, 6.39, 10.50, and 13.71%, respectively. The total polyphenol content of Buchimgaru supplemented with JAP was significantly higher than Buchimgaru without JAP. The 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity of Buchimgaru supplemented with 30% JAP was approximately 11 times greater than Buchimgaru without JAP. In the sensory evaluation (color, flavor, overall preference), Buchimgae supplemented with JAP showed higher sensory values than Buchimgae without JAP.
