The author made rice cookies using 100% rice and measured their density, spreadability, color, hardness, and fatty acid contents. The density was not significantly different between wheat cookies and the rice cookies made here; however, the density of dough tended to be higher in the rice cookies. Spreadability tended to be lower in rice cookies than wheat cookies. Regarding the color of rice cookies, L, indicating brightness, was found to be higher in rice cookies than in wheat cookies, and a, indicating redness, was found to be lower in rice cookies than in wheat cookies. B, indicating yellowness, was not significantly different between wheat cookies and rice cookies, and hardness tended to be lower in rice cookies. Regarding fatty acid contents, saturated fatty acids such as myristic acids, palmitic acids, and stearic acids were found in rice cookies; However, the contents of saturated fatty acids tended to be lower in rice cookies than in wheat cookies. The monounsaturated fatty acids found in rice cookies were mainly oleic acids, and the polyunsaturated fatty acids found in them were linoleic acid, and these were found more in rice cookies than in wheat cookies. Concerning essential fatty acids such as linoleic acids, linolenic acids, or arachidonic acids, they were found more in cookies made of rice powder than in those made of wheat powder.

This study evaluated the antioxidant activity and quality characteristics of rice cookie with added butterbur powder in a ratio of 0, 5, 10, 15, and 20% to confirm the possibility of butterbur as a functional food. The moisture content, spread factor, leavening rate, and hardness of rice cookies increased with an increase in the amount of butterbur powder; whereas a decrease in the pH and baking loss rate was observed. The L and b values decreased as the amount of butterbur powder increased, but the value was the lowest when 5% of butterbur powder was added. The sensory liking score showed the highest preference for 10% butterbur powder regarding appearance, flavor, taste, texture, and overall preference. In the principal component analysis (PCA), the addition of 10% butterbur powder positively affected the measure of food acceptance in terms of organoleptic properties of butterbur. Besides, as the amount of added butterbur powder increased, the antioxidant activity of rice cookies increased. Based on these results, it appears that the addition of butterbur powder to rice cookies in a 10% ratio can produce rice cookies with excellent antioxidant activity, overall quality, and high preference.

In this study, when we reflect the preference of consumers who wish to receive their health through natural materials, and whose purpose is to receive good quality and good tasting cookies made from ginger. After 0%, 2%, 4%, 6%, 8% of flour was replaced by ginger powder for making cookies, a comparative analysis of quality characteristics and QDA was completed. Adding ginger powder caused a decrease in the density of the cookie dough, moisture content, loss rate and leavening rate of cookie (p<0.05), but the hardness of the ginger cookie increased. As a result of the description analysis of adding ginger powder, adding ginger powder increases, cookie color, crispiness, acid taste, flavor, and an after taste, but not the sweetness of the cookie. In terms of cookie color, crispiness, taste, flavor and overall acceptability, adding 4% ginger powder received high reviews. Also as a result of measuring DPPH radical elimination, ginger powder shows to have good antioxidant activity. So their anti-cancer activity is better than cookies without ginger powder. Therefore, we expect that we can fulfill the overall acceptability.

Traditionally, the persimmon Gojongsi (Diospyros kaki Thunb) is peeled to make dried persimmons and the skins are thrown away. In this study, the quality characteristics of cookies containing persimmon peel powder were tested for recycling of the persimmon peels. The amounts of persimmon peel powder added to the cookies were about 0, 5, 7, 9 and 11%. The densities of the cookies of the control group and the persimmon peel powder containing experimental group were 1.25 and 1.25~1.37 respectively. The pH was 6.02 for the control group and 5.95~6.01 for the experimental group. Significant differences in the moisture content were observed between groups at 3.34 and 2.16~3.31 for the control and experimental groups, respectively (p<0.05). The spreadabilities and loss rates of the cookies increased with increasing amounts of persimmon peel powder (p<0.05). In contrast, the loss rates and leavening rate of the cookies decreased significantly with decreasing amounts of persimmon peel powder (p<0.05). The lightness of the cookies showed significant decrease (p<0.05), while the redness and yellowness increased with increasing amounts of persimmon peel powder. The hardness (kg) of the control group was 0.847 while that of the experimental group was 0.904~1.110. In the QDA, the results of sensory characteristic analysis showed that the experimental group earned 11% higher scores for color, flavor, taste, and bitterness, 7% higher for appearance and 9% higher for after taste. The consumer acceptance test revealed the experimental group to have a 7% more positive evaluation for color, favor, taste and texture than the control group. On the grounds of the experiment above, the optimal mixture ratio from the sensory test was found to be 7% persimmon peel powder in the cookies.

Job's tears(Coix lachryma-jobi L.) chungkukjang powder and wheat bran powder were added to American cookies for practical use as healthy compounds. We examined the antioxidant activity and quality characteristics of cookies prepared with different amounts(as ratios of 10%, 20%, 25% to the flour quantity) of Job's tears chungkukjang & wheat bran powder. The antioxidant activity was estimated by DPPH free radical scavenging activity, the total phenolic compounds content and flavonoid content in Job's tears chungkukjang & wheat bran powder and cookies. The quality characteristics of Job's tears chungkukjang & wheat bran powder American cookie were estimated in terms of bulk density, pH of the dough, spread ratio, color, texture profile analysis, proximate composition, and sensory evaluations. While the spread ratio and the total polyphenol contents, flavonoid contents and DPPH free radical scavenging activity of cookies significantly increased, pH, hardness and L value of the cookies decreased with increasing Job's tears chungkukjang & wheat bran powder(p<0.01). The consumer acceptability score for the 10~20% Job's tears chungkukjang & wheat bran powder American cookie ranked significantly(p<0.05) higher than those of the other groups in texture andoverall preference. This suggests that Job's tears chungkukjang and wheat bran powder are good ingredient candidates for increasing consumer acceptability and functionality of cookies.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of acorn (fruits of Quercus species) powder on the antioxidant activity and quality characteristics of cookies. Cookies were prepared with different amounts (0, 0.5, 1, 3 and 5% to the flour quantity) of acorn powder. The antioxidant activity was estimated by DPPH free radical scavenging activity and the total phenolic acid content in acorn powder and cookies. For analyzing quality characteristics, bulk density, pH of the dough, spread factor, loss rate, leavening rate, color, texture profile analysis, and sensory evaluations were measured. The moisture contents, a values, total phenolic acid content and DPPH free radical scavenging activity of cookies significantly increased with increasing acorn powder (p<0.001), while the pH of the dough, L values and b values of the cookies significantly decreased with increasing acorn powder (p<0.001). The consumer acceptability score for the 3% acorn cookie groups ranked significantly (p<0.05) higher than the other groups in overall preference, appearance, flavor, taste and color. From these results, we suggest that acorn is a good ingredient for increasing the consumer acceptability and the functionality of cookies.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate cookies prepared with five different quantities (0, 5, 10, 15, and 20%) of watermelon powder (WP). This study analyzed quality characteristics, consumer liking, and CATA (check-all-that-apply) of the samples. The density and pH of the cookie dough and the L-value of the cookies tended to decrease as the amount of watermelon powder increased (p<0.05), whereas the spread factor, a-value, and hardness of the cookies tended to increase as the amount of watermelon powder increased (p<0.001). The b-value tended to increase up to WP10, but it tended to decrease from WP15 (p<0.001). The results of the evaluation of consumer liking showed that overall liking was the highest for WP5 and lowest for WP20 (p<0.05). In the analysis of the CATA survey, the main reasons for liking for all the samples were 'Appearance', 'Color', 'Sweet taste', 'Nutty odor/flavor', 'Crispiness', and 'Familiarity'. WP5 showed the most diverse reasons for being liked. The common reason for disliking samples with the addition of watermelon powder was 'Residual feel in the mouth'. In the correspondence analysis, attributes of 'Stale taste', 'Clean taste', 'Softness', 'Familiarity', 'Moistness', 'Color', 'Blandness' were detected in the WP0 and WP5. The results indicate that WP5 with a 5% supplementation of watermelon powder is appropriate for improving the quality and consumer acceptability of the cookies.

This study evaluated the quality characteristics of rice cookies prepared with different amounts (0, 3, 6, 9%) of hibiscus powder. The pH of cookie dough decreased as the amount of hibiscus powder increased. Additionally, the moisture content and spread factor were higher in groups containing hibiscus powder than in the control groups. Furthermore, the L-value decreased with increasing hibiscus powder, while the a-value increased. The incorporation of hibiscus powder into cookies decreased hardness. Additionally, consumer acceptance testing revealed that the addition of up to 6% hibiscus powder was desirable in terms of overall acceptability. The total phenol content of the control groups was 12.32 mg GAE/100 g, while the levels in the groups containing hibiscus powder ranged from 23.32 to 59.86 mg GAE/100 g. Finally, DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activity increased with increasing hibiscus powder level. Taken together, the results of this study indicate that amending cookies with 6% hibiscus powder can improve antioxidant activities without affecting sensory quality.
