The purpose of this study is to compare preferences of consumers between food items made from modified cassava flour and plain flour using sensory tests. This study is a qualitative research with an experimental approach and four food items, namely streamed brownies, cookies, fried mushrooms, and seasoning flour have been used for the study. Each of these food items are made from modified cassava flour and plain flour. Panelists wore blindfolds and tasted the food items except the seasoning flour. Based on the data analysis, the panelists have different preferences towards the four food items. The result of the paired Wilcoxon test showed that there is not any different preference in terms of taste of steamed brownies made from mocaf or plain flour, while there is a significant difference in terms of color, aroma, texture, and appearance between the steamed brownies made from mocaf and plain flour. Consumers decide to buy products made from mocaf because these products use local flour and are gluten-free. This article describes the customer's preference based on sensory analysis between products made from mocaf and ones made from plain flour. The result can be used as the basis for developing food items made from local flour and alternative food for customers allergic to gluten.

The aim of this study was to investigate the quality characteristics of rice cookies specifically prepared with rice flour following enzyme treatment. In this study, three types of specific enzyme treatments, that is, ${\alpha}$-amylase, ${\beta}$-amylase, and cellulose+${\beta}$-glucanase were applied on the effect of rice flour with respect to desired quality characteristics of the rice cookies. Based on our study results, we have found that the density of dough in the rice cookies was not significantly different between that of the non-enzyme treated (control) and the enzyme treated group. However, we found that the spread factor of rice cookies, prepared with rice flour treated with ${\beta}$-amylase, was higher than that of the control. It was also found that the moisture content of rice cookies (with added enzyme-treated rice flour) was 3.20 to 3.90%; however, this range is much lower than that observed in the control. Further, we observed that Hunter color's L-values were significantly higher for the control than those of the enzyme-treated cookies. We also found that hardness of enzyme-treated cookies was comparatively better than that of the control. In addition, the sensory acceptability scores of the enzyme-treated cookies were found to be significantly higher than the control in decisive parameters such as aroma, appearance, flavor, taste, texture, and overall acceptability. Based on our findings, we suggest that ${\alpha}$-amylase treated rice flour is an effective ingredient for improving the overall quality of rice cookies.

Utilities of kiwi fruit powder prepared from post-mature kiwi fruit in bakery products such as bread and cookie were investigated. The characteristics of bread and cookie with different amounts of kiwi fruit powder were examined through physical measurement (color specific volume, crumb firmness, spread ratio, and extensibility) and seneory evaluation. In baking performance of frozen dough with kiwi fruit powder, $L^{*}$, $a^{*}$, and $b^{*}$ values of crust and specific volume gradually decreased as the concentration of kiwi fruit powder increased. Crumb firmness had significant difference compared to bread without kiwi fruit powder, and sensory characteristics of breads with kiwi fruit powder were more poor than bread without kiwi fruit powder. In a cookie with kiwi fruit powder although specific volume was not significantly different, the spread ratio of cookie and cookie toughness significantly decreased; furthermore, cookie extensibility significantly increased as an amount of kiwi fruit powder increased. Hardness and moistureness of cookies in sensory evaluation had a similar tendency as toughness and extensibility of cookies. Therefore, post-mature kiwi fruit could be utilized to improve the cookie qualities.ies.s.

This study was conducted to optimize the cookie preparation using Israeli crap Cyprinus carpio paste (C-ICP). The results of response surface methodology suggested the selection of other supplementary materials/[soft flour (SF) + ICP] (X₁) and SF/ICP (X₂) as independent variables, and hardness (Y₁), yellowness (Y₂), amino acid nitrogen (Y₃), and overall sensory acceptance (Y₄) as dependent variables. The optimal conditions of OS, SF, and ICP were 35.0%, 40.3% and 24.7%, respectively, and the predicted values of the multiple response optimal conditions Y₁, Y₂, Y₃, and Y₄ were 2,006.2 N/m2, 21.1, 30.0 mg/100 g, and a score of 6.6, respectively. Under the optimum conditions, experimental values of Y₁, Y₂, Y₃, and Y₄ were 2,010.5 ± 22.3 N/m2, 21.6 ± 0.5, 29.6 ± 0.7 mg/100 g, and a score of 6.9 ± 0.3, respectively, which were not significantly different from the predicted values (P < 0.05). The results on hardness, moisture, VCI yellowness, and lightness suggested that the optimum heating period was 20 min. C-ICP prepared under the optimum conditions was superior in sensory evaluation to cookies without the Israeli carp paste.

Effects of substitution of stevioside and maltitol with sugar on the quality characteristics of pound cake and butter cooky were investigated. Pound cakes increased in baking loss rates and decreased in water contents with substitution of sugar by stevioside and malitol. The yellow values of interior of pound cakes, and the lightness and yellow values of surface of butter cookies significantly decreased with substitution of sugar by stevioside and maltitol. Most of texture parameters such as hardness, chewiness, springiness, cohesiveness and gumminess of pound cakes, and hardness and brittleness of butter cookies also decreased with substitution sugar by stevioside and maltitol. In sensory evaluation, texture and appearances of pound cakes containing stevioside and maltitol were positively different compared to that of sugar control. However, butter cookies containing stevioside and maltitol were negatively different in texture and positively different In appearance compared to that of sugar control. Taste, flavor, sweetness and overall acceptability of pound cakes and butter cookies were not different between sugar and stevioside group. In conclusion, textures and appearances of pound cakes might be improvable without affection on other characteristics, and butter cookies were almost the same as the results of Pound cakes except deterioration of appearance, when sugar were substituted with stevioside and maltitol.

This study evaluated the characteristics of rice cookies with varying amounts (0, 250, 500, and 750 mg) of dandelion complex powder. Dandelion powder is considered a functional food with skin-moisturizing and atopic skin improvement effects by KFDA. Quality characteristics of AF343 and rice cookies were measured by determining antimicrobial activities, physical characteristics, sensory evaluation values, and antioxidant activities. An antibiotic susceptibility test of the powder showed positive activities in Escherichia coli (O157:H7), Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus cereus, and Listeria monocytogenes. Rice cookie containing 250-500 mg powder showed significantly increased antioxidant activities compared to controls (p<0.05). However, sensory intensities between the two sample groups were not significantly different. Thus, rice cookies containing 250-500 mg dandelion complex powder were successfully developed to improve antioxidant and antimicrobial qualities. These products may attract the attention of health-conscious consumers in the highly competitive cookie industry.
