The purpose of this study was to examine the quality characteristics of cookies made with Angelica gigas Nakai fermented by Lactobacillus paracasei. As the content of Angelica gigas Nakai fermented by L. paracasei (AFL) powder increased, the pH of the cookies decreased from 6.3 to 5.2. There was no significant difference in the moisture content depending on AFL powder content. The content of reducing sugar also increased with increasing AFL powder content. Regarding the surface color of the cookies, the L- and b-values decreased with increasing AFL powder content, whereas the a-value increased. As the AFL powder content increased, the total polyphenol content and ABTS and DPPH radical scavenging activities significantly increased. Cookies with 8% AFL powder (AC8) had the highest levels of 107.16 mg%, 38.69%, and 65.56%, respectively. The texture, adhesiveness, and cohesiveness of the cookies with various AFL powder levels were not significantly different, and hardness, springiness, gumminess, and chewiness showed no tendencies toward changes. Taken together, these results showed that when AFL powder was added to cookies, bioactivities such as antioxidant activity increased, making AFL powder a good material with high potential for use in commercially baked products.

Job's tears (Coixlachryma-jobi L.) and Chungkukjang (soybean-fermented food) were abundant source of phenolic compounds. In this study, almond cookies were prepared with different concentration(5%, 10%, 15%), of Job's tears Chungkukjang powder. The total phenolic contents were measured by the Folin-Ciocalteu method, total flavonoids contents were measured, and antioxidant activities were evaluated by DPPH assay. Antioxidative activity was highly correlated with the total phenolic and total flavonoids contents of Job's tears Chungkukjang almond cookies (r=0.867, r=0.647). In addition, the quality characteristics of the Job's tears Chungkukjang almond cookies were estimated based on the bulk density and pH of the dough, spread factor, color, texture profile analysis, proximate composition, and sensory evaluations. The spread factor, hardness, a value and b value, total polyphenolic contents, and DPPH free radical scavenging activity of cookies significantly increased with increasing content of Job's tears Chungkukjang powder (p<0.01), whereas the L values of the cookies decreased with the increasing Job's tears Chungkukjang powder content (p<0.05). The acceptability scores for the 5-15% Job's tears Chungkukjang almond cookie groups were ranked higher than those of the other groups in appearance, texture, and overall preference. The results of this study were shown that Job's tears Chungkukjang powder was a good ingredient for increasing the consumer acceptability and the functionality of cookies.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the quality characteristics of cookies prepared with shrimp powder (0, 3, 5, 7, 9%) substituted for flour as a snack food for Kindergarteners. The pH of the cookie dough decreased significantly in response to the addition of all levels of shrimp powder. However, there were no significant differences in the dough values among the test groups. Furthermore, when the spread factor values were compared among groups, they were found to be inversely proportional to the shrimp powder concentration. In addition, the Hunter's color L, a and b values decreased significantly as the level of shrimp powder increased. Moreover, the addition of 3${\sim}$9% shrimp powder resulted in increased hardness, cohesiveness, springiness, and brittleness when compared to the control. Finally, the results of acceptance test showed that the cookies containing 5% shrimp powder had the highest scores.

This study investigates the characteristics of cookies added with yacon. The addition of yacon powder did not affect the density of the cookies and decreased pH level. The moisture content was the highest in the cookies with 12% of yacon. Spread ratio was the highest in the cookies containing yacon powder. The loss rate and leavening rate of the cookies decreased with increasing amounts of yacon powder. Lightness and yellowness decreased significantly while redness increased significantly with a high content of yacon powder in the formulation. The hardness of the control group was higher than that of the cookies prepared with different levels of yacon powder. The antioxidant activity was estimated by DPPH free radical scavenging activity and the total phenolic acid content in yacon powder and cookies. The consumer acceptability score for the 6% yacon cookie group ranked significantly higher than the other groups in overall preference, appearance, flavor, taste and color. Through this experiment, this study exhibited both the functional and health based benefits of yacon when it is added to cookies and confirmed the development feasibility of yacon cookies considering consumer satisfaction.
