In this study, we assessed the physicochemical and sensory characteristics of cookies containing various concentrations (0, 3, 5, 7 and 9%) of leek powder. The L values of cookies containing leek powder were significantly lower than those of the controls. The spread ratio decreased proportionally with the quantity of leek powder added to the cookie recipe. The loss rate and leavening rate of samples to which 3% and 5% leek powder was added evidenced a higher value than the samples to which 7% and 9% leek powder was added. The L value of brightness was significantly reduced when leek powder was added to the cookie recipe. The a and b values were also significantly reduced with the addition of leek powder. Hardness evidenced significantly high levels in the samples to which 3% and 5% leek powder was added. The results of our sensory evaluation evidenced significantly better appearance, flavor, color, texture and overall acceptability as compared to the 3% and 5% added samples. The observed quality characteristics of the 3% leek powder added samples and 5% leek powder added samples indicated the possibility that leek cookies might be developed.

An agricultural waste, pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) peel is known to be rich in total phenolics, which are flavonoids having strong antioxidant effects. In this study, pomegranate peel sponge cakes were prepared with varying ratios of freeze dried pomegranate peel powder (0, 1, 3, 5, 7% (w/w)) to examine their effect on quality characteristics, retrogradation and antioxidant activities. The specific gravity and moisture contents of 3, 5, and 7% pomegranate peel powder showed higher values than the control and 1% group. Addition of pomegranate peel powder increased the batter yield, while there was a significant decrease in baking loss. Increasing pomegranate peel powder content significantly decreased the lightness (L) (from 75.03 to 57.04) and pH values, whereas redness (a), yellowness (b) and ${\Delta}E$ were increased. Increasing concentration of the peel powder also increased the hardness and chewiness, while the springiness and cohesiveness decreased. Considering the Avrami equation, Avrami exponene (n) decreased from 1.8055 (control) to 0.9199 (7% pomegranate peel powder). Time constant (1/k) was lowest in control (at 17.64) and highest in the 7% group (39.84). Total polyphenol, flavonoid content, DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activities significantly increased with increments in the content of pomegranate peel powder. A sensory evaluation by the 7-point scaling method showed that the sponge cake containing 7% pomegranate peel powder had the highest scores in color, flavor, sweetness, chewiness and overall acceptability. Hence, it is considered that sponge cake supplemented with 7% pomegranate peel powder is the most appropriate for quality characteristics, retrogradation and antioxidant activities.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the quality characteristics of rice nutritional bars prepared by adding Chinese artichoke (CA) powder to the rice powder. Methods: CA rice nutritional bars were prepared with various levels of CA powder (0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20%) and designated as CA0 (without CA powder), CA5, CA10, CA15, and CA20, respectively. The total phenolic content, DPPH free radical scavenging activity, moisture content, pH, baking loss rate, leavening rate, volume, color, texture analysis, and sensory evaluations of rice nutritional bars were performed. Results: The total phenolic content and DPPH free radical scavenging activity exhibited an increase with increase in the substitute amount of CA powder. The results showed that the pH of rice nutritional bars decreased in all sample groups as the content of CA powder increased. The volume of the sample group with CA powder was higher than that of CA0. As the content of CA powder increased, lightness of the rice nutritional bars crumbs decreased while redness and yellowness increased. The texture analysis of rice nutritional bars showed that hardness, gumminess, and chewiness were the highest in CA0 while springiness and cohesiveness were the lowest in CA0. With respect to characteristic intensity rating, the taste, flavor, and softness of rice nutritional bars increased with increasing amounts of CA powder. In terms of consumer acceptability, CA15 and CA20 received the highest scores with respect to texture. Conclusion: Therefore, the results of this study indicate that replacing 15% of the rice powder with CA led to an efficient enhancement in the antioxidant and nutritional values of rice nutritional bars as well as the sensory quality.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of mangosteen extract complex (MEC; Garcinia mangostana L. and propolis extracts) on the inhibition of inflammation and prevention of alveolar bone loss using a ligature-induced periodontitis model. Rat molars were ligatured with silk, and $1{\mu}g/mL$ of lipopolysaccharide of Porphyromonas gingivalis was injected into the buccal and palatal gingivae of the teeth with or without treatment with the MEC. Changes in the expression levels of prostaglandin $E_2$ ($PGE_2$), interleukin-8 (IL-8), inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), matrix metalloproteinase-8 (MMP-8), cyclooxygenase (COX)-1, and COX-2 in gingival tissues were evaluated using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. Alveolar bone loss around the ligated molars was examined using micro-computed tomography. The expression levels of $PGE_2$, IL-8, iNOS, MMP-8, COX-1, and COX-2 in gingival tissues were significantly reduced in the group treated with a mixture of $16{\mu}g$ of mangosteen extract powder and $544{\mu}g$ of propolis extract powder (ligation [Lig] + lipopolysaccharide extracted from P. gingivalis KCOM 2804 [L] + MEC 1:34). Additionally, alveolar bone loss was significantly reduced in the Lig + L + MEC 1:34 group compared with that in other groups. These results indicate that the MEC could be useful in preventing and treating periodontitis.

This study was conducted to examine the applicability of muffins and the optimal ratio of batter mixture by adding mugwort with various functions and physiological active substances. In result of examining the quality characteristics of muffins after adding frozen-dried mugwort powder by 0%, 1%, 3%, 5%, or 7%, the moisture retaining capacity of muffin batter was lowest with MPM0, the control group, and the deposition was highest at $17.94m{\ell}$ with MPM0. The pH value of muffin batter was highest at 8.62 with MPM0 and moisture decreased significantly (p<0.001) when more mugwort powder was added to the sample. The brightness increased significantly (p<0.001) when the amount of frozen-dried mugwort powder decreased and redness and yellowness decreased when the addition of mugwort powder increased. The height and volume of mugwort muffins were lowest at 4.75 cm and $135.69m{\ell}$ with MPM7 with the greatest value of frozen-dried mugwort powder. The loss at baking of mugwort muffins was lowest at 2.27% with MPM7. The hardness of mugwort muffins was highest with MPM7 with the highest mugwort powder content. Coagulation and resilience was highest at 0.64 with the MPM0 control group and the chewiness increased significantly (p<0.001) with greater amount of frozen-dried mugwort powder. The appearance of mugwort muffins was highest at 6.1 with MPM5 and the most preferable color and flavors were found with MPM3. Tenderness was highest with the MPM0 control group. Overall preferability was highest with MPM3 with 3% frozen-dried mugwort powder. When adding frozen-dried mugwort powder to muffins, the 3% and control groups mostly showed the highest values, whereas the 5% group and higher groups showed lower values.

Mulberry leaves noodles were prepared with composite flour by the addition of various levels of mulberry leaves powder of 100 mesh particle site. The characteristics of cooked noodle including color, texture, cooking properties were measured, and sensory evaluation was performed. The L and a values of cooked noodle decreased as more wheat flour was substiruted with mulberry leaves powder. And the b value of noodle containing mulberry leaves powder was higher than control, but b value did not increase as the ratio of powder increased. The increase in cooking weight and volume was greater with cooked noodles of higher content of mulberry leaves powder. The turbidity of soup and eluted solid content increased as the content of powder increased, indicating higher cooking loss. There was not much difference in hardness among cooked noodles, but cohesiveness and springiness decreased as the ratio of mulberry leaves powder increased, while adhesiveness increased. The results of sensory evaluation showed that cooked noodles containing 4% and 6% mulberry leaves powder were acceptable as much as wheat four noodle in terms of color, texture, taste and flavor. But the overall acceptability of mulberry leaves noodle was lower than wheat now noodle.
