The objective of this investigation was to develop iced cookies with freeze-dried yellow onion powder (YP) and red onion powder (RP) at composition levels of 0, 1, 3, 5 and 10%. The moisture (13.61%) and crude ash contents (3.43%) of YP was higher than RP, while the crude protein (7.58%) and crude fat contents (0.65%) of RP was higher than YP. Freeze-dried YP showed a higher lightness and yellowness value compared to RP, because of the unique color of the onion. The browning index was lower in YP. The pH of the dough significantly decreased by addition of onion powder, while the density of the dough was significantly increased in RP samples than the others. The iced cookies showed a lower lightness value, and a higher redness value with increase of onion powder contents. Hardness of YP cookies up to 5% and RP cookies up to 3%, were lower compared to the control. With regards to the sensory characteristics, $3{\sim}5%$ YP cookies and 3% RP cookies were more acceptable than the others. As a result, the optimal ratio of freeze-dried YP and RP iced cookies were calculated at 5% YP and 3% RP levels.

The purpose of this paper was to study cookies that could be sweetened by consumers through the addition of Morinda citrifolia powder, and also to examine the quality characteristics of such cookies in order to expand the uses of Morinda citrifolia. The addition of Morinda citrifolia powder did not have an observable affect on cookie density, although it did decrease pH levels. A central finding was the lack of significant differences in moisture content of cookies made with Morinda citrifolia powder at the significance level of 5%. Significant differences were found in the diameter, which represents spreadability, in the group of cookies made with Morinda citrifolia powder. The L value decreased considerably with the addition of Morinda citrifolia powder. The control also recorded the highest hardness points and had significant differences from the groups added with 3% and 6% Morinda citrifolia powder. The sensory evaluation results showed no significant differences in the taste, flavor, texture, and overall preference between the group of 6% Morinda citrifolia powder and the control except for color, which suggests that cookies made with 6% Morinda citrifolia powder seem to be ideal.

The quality characteristics of cookies between fresh shredded garlic(FSG) and heat-treated($150^{\circ}C$, 5 min) shredded garlic (HT-SG) were comparatively analyzed based on different content additions. The levels investigated were 0, 0.5, 1, 2, 4 and 6% for both shredded garlics. Dough pH was lower in the FSG-added cookies than in the HT-SG-added cookies. The spread factor decreased with the addition of shredded garlic compared to the control($10.63{\pm}0.57$), but differences were insignificant within each group. Cookies hardness was highest at 2% garlic content, and it was higher for HT-SG than FSG. Compared to the measured L-value of the control, the L-values of the test samples decreased with increasing garlic contents. With increasing garlic contents, the a-value increased, but the b-value remained mostly unchanged, with less significant difference compared to the control. The color of the HT-SG group tended to be brown as the garlic content increased. The degree of browning was more pronounced for HT-SG than FSG. Surface cracking of the cookies tended to be higher in the FSG samples than in HT-SG. Compared to the control, garlic taste and flavor increased remarkably with increasing garlic content, and they were stronger for the FSG cookies. The overall acceptability of HT-SG was relatively high, and it was highest for the HT-SG cookies with a 0.5~2% garlic contents than for the control cookies.

In this study, we assessed the quality characteristics and antioxidant activity of cookies containing various concentrations (0, 2, 4, 6 and 8%) of Aloe vera powder(AVP). To analyze quality characteristics, density and pH of dough, spread factor, moisture content, color(L, a, b), hardness, total polyphenol content, DPPH radical scavenging activity and sensory properties were measured. Density of the dough, spread factor, moisture content, a and b value, total polyphenol content, and DPPH radical scavenging activity of the cookies significantly increased with increasing content of AVP, whereas pH and L value and hardness of the cookies significantly decreased. The results of sensory evaluation showed that cookies made with 2 and 6% AVP did not significantly differ from the control. From the sensory evaluation test, cookies with 4% of AVP were the best except in appearance among all the samples studied. Therefore the result of this study suggest that AVP is a good ingredient for increasing the consumer acceptability and antioxidant activity of cookies.

In this study, we assessed the antioxidant activity and quality characteristics of cookies containing various concentrations (0, 1, 3 and 5%) of Kalopanax pictus leaf powder. Antioxidant activity was estimated by DPPH free radical scavenging activity, reducing power, and total phenolic compound content in Kalopanax pictus leaf powder and cookies. The quality characteristics of Kalopanax pictus leaf cookies were estimated as spread factor, loss rate, leavening rate, color, texture and sensory evaluations. The moisture contents, spread factor, total phenolic acid content, DPPH free radical scavenging activity and reducing power of cookies significantly increased with increasing Kalopanax pictus leaf powder content, whereas the pH of the dough, hardness, and color values of cookies significantly decreased with increasing Kalopanax pictus leaf powder content. In the sensory evaluation, the scores for color, flavor and crispiness were high in cookies with 3% Kalopanax pictus leaf powder.

Chlorella is an attractive potential food source because it is high in protein and other essential nutrients; when dried, it is about 45% protein, 20% fat, 20% carbohydrate, 5% fibre, and 10% minerals and vitamins. It has been widely used as a well-being food. We investigated the quality characteristics of cookies prepared after addition of various concentrations of chlorella powder (0%, 1%, 3%, and 5%, all w/w) as a substitute for flour. In this study, as chlorella powder concentration rose, decreases in the moisture content, pH, L, a and b value became evident. The spread factor and hardness of the cookies slightly increased after the addition of chlorella powder. Sensory evaluation scores in terms of color, flavor, and texture were statistically very similar, but taste and overall acceptability scores were lower than those of the control. The result of this study showed that the quality of the cookies with the addition of 1% chlorella powder was the best in terms of its taste, flavor, texture, and sensory properties.

Quality characteristics effects of adding four different amounts (0%, 1%, 2%, 3%) of Ulleung-Maesil (Prunus mume fruit) powder cookie doughs were examined. pH, water content & bulk density of dough, spread factor, color value, hardness and consumer acceptability of maesil cookies were measured. The pH and water content of freezedried Ulleung-Maesil powder were 2.01 and 6.26%, respectively, while the L, a, b values were 76.14, -1.66 and 28.65, respectively. Although bulk density of the 3% powder group of cookie dough was the highest, its pH value was the lowest compared to the other groups (p < 0.05). Spread factor of the 3% group showed the lowest value among all groups (p < 0.05). Hardness of the control group (i.e, 0%) was significantly higher than the 1%, 2%, 3% groups (p < 0.05), which showed no significant difference among themselves. The ${\Delta}E$ value of cookies increased significantly with increasing Maesil powder content (p < 0.05). The consumer acceptability scores for control and 1% Maesil cookie groups ranked significantly higher than the 2% and 3% groups in overall acceptability, taste, flavor and texture (p < 0.05). In conclusion, our study suggests that small amounts of Ulleung-maesil can add positive attributes to cookies.

This research is to figure out the manufacture proper1ies and the effect of adding red ginseng powder into cookies. When adding red ginseng powder into wheat, there was no significant change in moisture content while the amount of WRC and AWFC increased significantly. In the manufacturing and quality characteristics, there was no noticeable change in thickness and spreadability. Also, wheat cookies containing red ginseng powder didn't show significant differences either and the control plot had the biggest diameter. The change of chromaticity showed that L-value and b-value seemed to significantly decrease while a-value increased a lot In other words, the more ginseng powder was added, the darker its external colour became. In the organic characteristics, the control plot showed the best result in volume, crust, top grain and in almost every part. The volume had the most satisfying result with 6% of red ginseng powder added, and there was not much difference among the groups added with red ginseng powder. Generally, adding up tp 12% of ginseng powder was found best when making cookies.
