In the fabrication of sponge cakes, wheat flour was substituted by Dioscorea Japonica flour at 3%, 6%, and 9% (C1, C2, and C3, respectively), and the sensory, physicochemical, texture properties, viable cell counts and chromaticity of the samples were investigated and compared with the control cake (C0). The addition of Dioscorea Japonica flour increased the density of the sponge cake, but decreased the size and moisture content of the cakes (C0〉C1〉C2〉C3). The pH value increased with increasing Dioscorea Japonica flour in the sponge cakes, and the microbial growth was remarkably suppressed by Dioscorea Japonica flour compared with the control. There was an increase in the chromaticity of the sponge cakes with increased Dioscorea Japonica flour in the cakes. Also, the hardness, gumminess, and chewiness were enhanced approximately two times higher than those of control by increasing Dioscorea Japonica flour. In the sensory evaluation, the addition of Dioscorea Japonica flour into sponge cakes showed a significant increment in the internal color, size/uniformity of the voids, and the sweetness, while the adhesiveness and moistness were the highest in the control. The overall preference was in the order C0〉C2〉C3〉Cl, and therefore, the substitution of 6% of wheat flour by Dioscorea Japonica was recommended in the fabrication of sponge cakes.

In this study, Sulgidduk samples were prepared with substitutions of 1, 2, 3, and 4% tomato powder, along with a control, and were then analyzed for quality characteristics such as moisture content, water activity, color, textural characteristics, and sensory qualities, in order to determine the optimal ratio of tomato powder in the formulation. According to the results, moisture content and water activity were not significantly different among the Sulgidduk samples. In terms of color, as the level of tomato powder content increased, lightness decreased, while the a-value (+redness/-greenness), and yellowness increased. For the textural characteristics, the samples showed significant differences for hardness, adhesiveness, and gumminess, while fracturability was not significantly different. In addition, the samples containing tomato powder presented significantly higher springiness, cohesiveness(except the 1% substitution level), chewiness, and resilience than the control group. In the sensory evaluation, the control group had significantly higher scores for color and flavor as compared to the tomato powder samples. Furthermore, flavor and overall acceptability decreased, while tomato flavor, sourness, and off-flavor increased with increasing tomato powder content. Sweetness and after-taste were not significantly different among the samples. In conclusion, the results indicate that substituting 2${\sim}$3% tomato powder in Sulgidduk is optimal for quality, and provides a product with reasonably high overall acceptability.

Quality characteristics of kochujang prepared with strawberry puree (10, 20, and 30% on a total weight basis) were investigated at 30 and 300 days of fermentation. The highest $L^*$-value was found in 30% strawberry kochujang at 300 days of fermentation. In contrast, the highest degree of redness ($a^*$) was observed in 30% strawberry kochujang at the early stage of fermentation. During the fermentation, values of $L^*$, $a^*$, and $b^*$ increased except $a^*$-value of 30% strawberry kochujang, indicating proper substitution of strawberry puree could preserve the desired color of kochujang. After 300 days of fermentation, hardness, gumminess, and chewiness increased while adhesiveness decreased significantly (p<0.05). Taste score and Pearson coefficient between sensory and strawberry concentration revealed that 10% strawberry kochujang was more acceptable than the others, due to color and the formation of flavor compounds during the fermentation and these compounds enhanced the flavor of kochujang.

This study investigated the quality characteristics of cookies containing laver powder, which is well known for its various functions and biological activity. This study assessed the quality characteristics of cookies containing various concentrations (0, 2, 4, 6 and 8%) of laver powder(LP). To analyze quality characteristics, pH of dough, moisture content, color, hardness, and sensory properties were measured. Qualities, such as pH, brightness, and redness and yellowness and hardness decreased significantly (p<0.001). The total flavonoid and total polyphenol and ABTS radical scavenging activity were proportionally increased with increasing the level of laver powder added in cookies(p<0.001). The antioxidant activity measured by total flavonoid and total polyphenol activities was significantly higher than control and increased proportionally to the laver powder. The result of sensory test shows that sample group adding 2% of laver powder achieved the highest. Based on the above results, this study suggests that the addition of 2% laver powder may be the best substitution ratio for cookies of the improvement of sensory preference and antioxidant. This study exhibited both the functional and health based benefits of laver when it is added to cookies and confirmed the development feasibility of laver cookies considering consumer satisfaction.

The principal objective of this study was to evaluate the quality characteristics of pound and sponge cakes prepared with Cucurbita maxima Duchesne (C. Maxima Duch.) puree, via physical and sensory examinations. The cakes were formulated by repalcing the egg with C. maxima Duch. puree at concentrations of 0, 10, 20 and 30%. C. maxima Duch. puree contained 87.91% water, 0.58% ash, 1.68% protein, 0.55% lipid, 1.02% fiber, and 8.26% carbohydrate. The physicochemical properties of the pound and sponge cakes evidenced similar patterns. The specific gravities of the pound and sponge cakes increased with increasing substitution levels, whereas the specific volumes were reduced. The hardness values of the pound and sponge cakes containing the C. maxima Duch. puree were higher than those of the controls. Substituting C. maxima Duch. puree for egg resulted in reduced lightness and increased redness in the cakes. Pound and sponge cakes with C. maxima Duch. puree evidenced higher moisture contents than the controls over 5 days of storage. Overall acceptances in sensory evaluation scored higher in the 20% substituted pound and sponge cakes.

In this study, the sensory and mechanical characteristics of white bread containing different levels of Korean and Chinese sansa powder were evaluated. Korean sansa was smaller and more reddish than that of Chinese sansa. Sansa powder contained ursolic acid, citric acids, and flavonoids, which have antioxidative effects. Contents of total flavonoids in Korean and Chinese sansa powder were $217.67{\pm}7.64$ mg/100 g and $127.67{\pm}7.85$ mg/100 g, respectively. The mechanical and sensory characteristics of bread added with different levels (0, 2, 4, and 6%) of Korean and Chinese sansa powder were evaluated. Lightness of crust and crumb of bread containing Korean sansa powder decreased as the level of Korean sansa powder increased, whereas they increased as the level of Chinese sansa powder increased. Mechanical texture parameters such as hardness and gumminess increased as the level of Korean and Chinese of sansa powder increased. In a sensory evaluation, control, bread containing 2 or 4% Korean sansa powder, and bread containing 2% Chinese sansa powder showed higher overall acceptability than the others. In conclusion, these results indicate that the recommended substitution level for sansa powder in bread is 2 or 4% Korean sansa powder and 2% Chinese sansa powder.

Tactile acuity was assessed in groups of control, blind, deaf, and blind caused by complication to investigate the effective tactile stimuli on tactile sensory substitution studies when tactile display is applied to persons with sensory loss of vision or hearing. Two-point discrimination and grating resolution were assessed by compass and JVP dome, respectively, in the hand, arm, neck, lumbar, and knee. In two-point discrimination by compass, control group showed the highest sensitivity in fingers among assessed body areas but did not show any significant difference between male and female. Blind group and deaf group compared to control group did not show any significant difference in fingers but showed lower sensitivity in arm and knee. In grating resolution by JVP dome, control group did not show any significant difference among five fingers as well as between male and female. Blind group showed higher sensitivity in five fingers compared to control group, but deaf group did not show any significant difference from control group. Blind caused by complication group showed lower sensitivity in two-point discrimination and grating resolution compared to control group and blind group. These results suggest that the body area and method of tactile stimulation, and difference in tactile acuity depending on underlying disease of sensory loss should be considered when tactile display is applied for sensory substitution.

Burdock powder (BP) has shown diverse functional activities; thus, it seems a good way to increase its consumption by incorporating BP into suitable food products such as cookies. Studies were carried out on cookies prepared by incorporating BP (2%, 4%, 6%, and 8%) into wheat flour. The cookie dough and cookies were evaluated for their physical, chemical, and sensory characteristics. The pH and density of cookie doughs ranged from 6.70-6.85 and 1.19-1.21, respectively, with no remarkable differences. Moisture content and spread factor of cookies appeared to increase with higher content of BP in the formulation but did not show significant differences (p>0.05). For color values of cookie surface, $L^*$, $a^*$, and $b^*$-values significantly decreased as a result of BP substitution (p<0.05). The cookies became crispier as indicated by the reduction in the breaking strength value from 26.71 to 17.83 N. 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2'-azino-bis-3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulphonic acid (ABTS) radical scavenging activities were significantly increased (p<0.05) with higher substitution of BP, and they were well correlated. Hedonic sensory results indicated that cookies supplemented with 2% BP received the most favorable acceptance scores for all sensory attributes evaluated. Overall, cookies with BP could be developed with improved physicochemical qualities as well as consumer acceptability.

Meat emulsions containing 0, 15, 30 and 45% of soy protein isolate(SPI), Na-caseinate(Na-CN) and their mixtures were prepared in order to determine the effect of these non-meat proteins on the physical properties and their sensory quality in emulsion type sausage. It was found that SPI was better fat stabilizer and better binder than Na-CN. The mixtures of SPI and Na-CN didn't exert any significant effect on emulsion stability. From the texture profile analysis by using Instron two-cycle compression tests, decrease in the substitution levels and increase in the ratio of SPI/Na-CN resulted in a significant increase in the textural values of hardness, adhesiveness, gumminess, chewiness. The finished products showed that the substituted product for 15 % meat protein had higher textural values than the unsubstituted product. The sensory quality evaluated for the final products showed no significant difference between the SPI substituted product for 15 % meat protein and the unsubstituted product. However, all of the substituted products for 15 % meat protein and some of those for 30 % substitution with SPI and 67 % SPI received higher scores than average.

DPPH radical scavenging activities were 66.80% by hot water extract and 41.86% by 80% methanol extract. Inhibitions of angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) were 91.09% by hot water extract and 75.20% by 80% methanol extract. In this study, Sulgidduk samples were prepared with 1, 3, 5, and 7% concentrated sweet pumpkin powder (CSPP), and a control were examined for quality characteristics such as moisture content, water activity, color, textural characteristics, and sensory qualities, in order to determine the optimal ratio of CSPP in the formulation. The samples containing CSPP exhibited significantly higher moisture content than the control group. Water activity was not significantly different among the Sulgidduk samples. For the color, the control group presented significantly higher lightness as compared to the samples containing CSPP. The samples containing 1 and 3% CSPP had significantly higher greenness than the samples containing 5 and 7% CSPP. Yellowness increased as the level of CSPP content increased. In terms of textural characteristics, hardness, gumminess, and chewiness were highest at the 1% substitution level, while lowest at the 3% level. The CSPP samples presented significantly higher adhesiveness, springiness, and cohesiveness than the control group. In the consumer acceptance and characteristic intensity rating test, the control group showed significantly higher color and flavor as compared to the CSPP samples. Pumpkin flavor, delicious taste, and off-flavor increased with increasing amounts of CSPP. Softness, overall acceptability, and gumminess were not significantly different among the various samples tested. Sweetness was highest at the 5% substitution level, while lowest at the 1% level. In conclusion, the results indicate that substituting $3{\sim}5%$ CSPP to Sulgidduk is optimal, providing good DPPH radical scavenging activity and inhibition of ACE as well as reasonably high overall acceptability.
