This study was conducted to examine the sensory quality characteristics of Hobakjook (pumpkin porridge) samples prepared with 0%, 4%, 8%, 12%, 16% of waxy rice powder and non-waxy rice powder. The moisture content and spreadability decreased with the addition of waxy and non-waxy rice powder, while total soluble solid and viscosity increased with the addition of rice powder (p<0.001). The lightness (L-values) of Hobakjook significantly increased with the addition of both rice powder, but the yellowness (b-values) decreased. In the attribute difference test of sensory evaluation, yellowness, gloss, pumpkin flavor, sourness, smoothness and intensity of after-taste were amount-dependently decreased with the addition of both rice powders. However, sweetness, savory flavor, astringency, gelatinized rice flavor, and viscosity significantly increased as the amount of rice powder increased. The rankings of overall acceptance by consumers were 12% > 16% > 8% > CON (0%) & 4% for Hobakjook samples with waxy rice powder, while 8% & 12% > 16% > CON(0%) & 4% for Hobakjook samples with non-waxy rice powder. However, there was no significant preference between waxy rice powder and non-waxy rice powder.

This study was conducted to develop a recipe for a nutritional cookie with lotus root powder that had the optimal composition of ingredients and texture resulting in high preference by all age groups. Wheat flour was partially substituted with lotus root powder to reduce its content. Response Surface Methodology was used to analyze the measured results, which showed 16 experimental points including 2 replicates for lotus root powder, sugar and butter. The compositional and functional properties were measured, and these values were applied to a mathematical model. A canonical form and perturbation plot showed the influence of each ingredient on the final mixture product. The sensory evaluation results showed significant values in color (p<0.01), texture (p<0.05) and overall quality (p<0.05). As a result, the optimal sensory ratio was determined to be 22.59 g of lotus root powder, and 53.08 g of sugar for every 120 g of butter.

The seaweed Hizikia fusiformis is rich in protein, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals. We investigated the physicochemical properties and antioxidant activities of yanggaeng made with agar, sugar, honey, oligosaccharide, cooked white bean paste, and different amounts (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5%) of H. fusiformis powder. The proximate composition, pH, sugar content, color, texture, antioxidant activity, and sensory properties of the yanggaeng were investigated. The moisture and sugar contents of the yanggaeng did not change despite increasing the amount of H. fusiformis. The pH decreased with increasing H. fusiformis. The lightness decreased significantly, whereas the redness and yellowness increased with increasing amounts of H. fusiformis. In the texture profile analysis, the hardness, gumminess, and chewiness decreased with increasing H. fusiformis content. The antioxidant activity of the yanggaeng increased with the concentration of the H. fusiformis powder. The yanggaeng containing 2% H. fusiformis had the highest overall sensory acceptance score. The addition of H. fusiformis to yanggaeng appears to improve its quality and antioxidant activity.

Physicochemical and sensory characteristics of pound cakes containing Angelica gigas NAKAI(Korean Angelica) with various levels of rice flour were investigated in this study. There were significant differences in the specific gravity of dough, and it had the lowest value of 0.848 in the control group. The weight of pound cakes was significantly increased by addition of rice flour, but the volume, specific volume and baking loss rate were significantly decreased by addition of rice flour. The moisture content and pH of pound cakes were found to increase with increasing rice flour content. DPPH radical scavenging activity of the control group was 51.02%, whereas pound cakes with rice flour ranged from 51.90~55.75%. The L value of brightness was increased, but a and b values were decreased significantly by addition of rice flour. In all of items of texture, the control group was higher than those of the pound cakes prepared with various levels of rice flour. Sensory evaluation scores in terms of appearance, flavor, taste, texture and overall preference for pound cakes showed that 50% and 75% substituted sample groups were higher than those of the other groups. The results of this study suggest that addition of 50~75% rice flour is the best substitution ratio for Korean Angelica pound cakes.

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.

Purpose: In this study, we evaluated the physicochemical and sensory effects of glutinous rice flour substitution in Yakgwa. Methods: The glutinous rice flour was added to Yakgwa dough as ratio to ranging from 0, 20, 40, 60%. Dehydration, oil absorption, color, texture and preference properties of Yakgwa were then investigated. Results: Glutinous rice flour caused a decrease in dehydration and oil absorption during frying. For color determination, L-value increased while b-value decreased as the addition of glutinous rice flour increased. In the instrumental texture analysis, hardness and chewiness increased with increasing glutinous rice flour content. Yakgwa with 20 or 40% glutinous rice flour showed a significantly higher overall acceptability than others. Conclusion: It can be concluded that 20 or 40% glutinous rice flour substitution is appropriate for preparing Yakgwa, based on the sensory evaluation results.
