This study investigated the quality characteristics, antioxidant activities, and retarding retrogradation of sponge cakes made with 0%, 1%, 3%, 5% and 7% pumpkin (Cucurbita moschata Duch.) leaf powder. Specific capacity significantly increased with the addition (0.33~0.38), but baking loss and dough yield were not significantly different (p<0.05). In color, there was a decrease in the L-value, a-value and b-value, but ${\Delta}E$ increased in proportion to the amount of pumpkin leaf powder. Moisture content increased in the 0~3% additions, from 27.90~31.68%, but decreased in 5% and 7% (22.37% and 28.15%, respectively). pH tended to decrease significantly according to the amount of pumpkin leaf powder (p<0.05). Hardness increased with the addition of pumpkin leaf powder, and pumpkin leaf groups presented higher springiness and cohesiveness than the control. Chewiness was not significantly differ (p<0.05). In retarding retrogradation, Avrami exponent (n) showed that addition of 5% (0.1329) had more retarding retrogradation effect than the control (0.4319), whereas time constant (1/k) showed both 3% (100.00) and 5% (70.42) addition had more effect than control (18.45). Total phenols and flavonoids content increased proportionate to the addition levels. ABTS radical scavenging activity tended to increase according to the level of pumpkin leaf powder. In sensory properties, 5% addition showed maximum color, and 3% addition had the highest scores in flavor, moistness, sweetness, chewiness and overall acceptability. These results suggested that pumpkin leaf was a good addition to improve the quality characteristics, health and sensory preferences. The most appropriate proportion to have the effect of retarding retrogradation in sponge cake is 3%.

In this study, sponge cakes were prepared with 3, 6, 9, 12, and 15% red ginseng marc powder. The samples and a control were then compared in terms of quality characteristics, including batter viscosity and specific gravity, moisture content, water activity, volume index, weight, color, textural characteristics, and sensory qualities, in order to determine the optimal ratio of red ginseng marc powder in the formulation. The batter samples containing 0, 12, and 15% red ginseng marc powder had significantly higher viscosity than the other samples. Specific gravity of batter was not significantly different among the batter samples. The control group presented significantly higher moisture content as compared to the samples containing red ginseng marc powder samples. Water activity, volume index, and weight of all samples were not significantly different among the samples. In terms of crust color, lightness, redness, and yellowness of the crust samples decreased as the level of red ginseng marc powder content increased. For the crumb color, lightness and yellowness decreased, and redness increased, with increasing red ginseng marc powder content. Hardness, cohesiveness, gumminess, and springiness were not significantly different among the samples; however, the red ginseng marc powder samples had significantly higher chewiness than the control group. In the sensory evaluation, as the content of red ginseng marc powder increased, scores for color, flavor, softness, overall acceptability, moistness, and egg-flavor decreased, while scores for red ginseng taste, bitterness, astringency, and off-flavor incresed. Overall, the 3 and 6% red ginseng marc powder samples obtained fairly good sensory scores. In conclusion, the results indicate that adding $3{\sim}6%$ red ginseng marc powder to sponge cake is optimal, providing good physiological properties as well as reasonably high overall consumer acceptability.

Black tea is rich in phenolic antioxidants that has shown diverse health benefits such as protection against cardiovascular diseases and cancers. Thus, it is rational to incorporate black tea into suitable food products such as sponge cakes to enhance their nutritional and functional qualities. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of the addition of black tea powder (BTP) on the quality of sponge cake. The pH of cakes ranged from 7.00~7.17, with no remarkable differences. Height decreased while baking loss rate and hardness significantly increased with increases in the content of BTP in the formulation (p<0.05). For crumb color values, $L^*-value$ decreased while $a^*$ and $b^*-values$ increased as a result of BTP substitution. 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 increases in the content of BTP which were well correlated. Hedonic sensory results indicated that sponge cakes supplemented with 2~4% BTP obtained the most favorable acceptance scores. On the basis of the overall observations, sponge cakes supplemented with 2~4% BTP were found to be benefit from the functional properties of BTP, without compromising on consumer acceptance.

The baking performance of Cudrania tricuspidata leaf powder as a value-added food ingredient was investigated in a model system of sponge cakes. Cudrania tricuspidata leaf powder was incorporated into cake batter at 5 levels (0, 5, 10, 15, and 20%, w/w) by adding equivalent amount based on total weight of wheat flour. The specific volume, height, moisture content, volume index, and symmetry index of sponge cakes decreased significantly with the increase in Cudrania tricuspidata leaf powder content (p < 0.05). Sponge cakes became darker and firmer with increase in Cudrania tricuspidata leaf powder content (p < 0.05), as indicated by decrease in the $L^*$ and increase in the firmness measured by the texture measuring instrument. Total polyphenol content also increased gradually as the Cudrania tricuspidata leaf powder content increased. Finally, the consumer acceptance test indicated that addition of Cudrania tricuspidata leaf powder up to 10% in the formulation of sponge cakes did not significantly influence the consumers' acceptability with respect to taste and flavor. In addition, the overall acceptability was not different from each other for control and 5% sample (p > 0.05).

This study investigated the quality characteristics of butter sponge cakes added with whey protein concentrate (WPC)(0%, 10%, 30%, 50%, 100%) added as a fat substitute. The density of the dough of butter sponge cakes significantly increased with higher levels of added WPC and the pH decreased (F=248.38, p<.001). The moisture content also decreased significantly (F=3.151, p < .05). However, the volume (F=9.556, p<.01) and specific volume (F=11.15, p<.001) significantly increased. With respect to color, there was no significant difference in the lightness (L) value of the crumb, but the redness (a) value increased significantly with higher levels of added WPC (F=12.616, p < .001), while the yellowness (b) value decreased significantly (F=4.550, p<.01). Regarding the crust, the L values (F=3.791, p<.01) and b values (F=7.000, p<.001) decreased significantly with higher levels of added WPC, while the (a) values increased significantly (F=4.706, p<.01). The DPPH radical scavenging ability of the raw WPC used in the manufacture of butter sponge cakes was found to be 27.45%, but this increased significantly as the amount of WPC added to butter sponge cakes increased (F=45.237, p<.001). In a consumer preference test, the flavor, appearance, texture, odor, and overall acceptability were highest in the case of WPC-10 when taking advantage of the functional advantages of WPC as a lowfat substitute, confirming the development potential and optimal amount of WPC that should be added to butter sponge cakes.

This study was conducted to investigate the differneces in milling, physicochemical, rheological and end-product properties between Korean and American wheat cultivars. Also, rheological and bread baking properties of Korean wheat flour in blends with U.S. standard flour were investigated. The milling yield of Korean wheat rated 71.1% similar to 71.6% of U.S. wheat. The average AWRC 61.8% of the three Korean wheats ranked higher than the conventional value of 60% for classifying hard and soft wheat. The cookies made from Korean wheat flour showed comparatively good spread with diameter of 8.5-8.9 cm, and marked recommendable top grain score. The volume ranges 975-1175 cc of sponge cake made from all cultivars tested were lower about 4-26% than that of standard cake flour. especially, Wonkwang was selected as one which has special characteristics good for cookie and sponge cake. The volumes of breads from Korean wheat 리ours ranged 924-1020 cc, and Yongkwang of 1020cc marked the most appropriate characteristics for bread-making among the tested wheats. The proper blending ratio of Korean wheat flour to U.S. bread standard flour was revealed 30% in bread-making.

The effect of different steamed garlic powder concentrations on sponge cake quality were investigated by analyzing both physicochemical and sensory properties. The sponge cakes were mixed with either steamed and freeze-dried garlic powders at different ratio [0, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 % (w/flow w)]. The density of the prepared dough increased with increasing amounts of steamed garlic powder when the concentrations were over 4%. The heights of the sponge cakes ranged from $3.53{\pm}0.12{\sim}3.60{\pm}0.15cm$ in the $4{\sim}8%$ steamed garlic powder samples, and were significantly higher than the control. The specific loaf volume of the cake was $3.86{\pm}0.07mL/g$ the highest in the 4% steamed garlic powder samples. When the garlic powder concentration was over the 6%, the specific loaf volumes of the sponge cakes decreased with increases in garlic powder contents. The measured L- and b-values of the crust were significantly decreased with increasing garlic powder concentration while the a-value gradually increased. The L-value of the crumb increased with increasing steamed garlic powder concentration, especially at concentrations greater than 4%. The a-values were higher in the steamed garlic powder treatments than in the control. however, no significant differences were found in the concentrations over 4%. The hardness of the control was $812.42{\pm}56.69g/cm^2$, whereas it ranged from $1005.36{\pm}43.65{\sim}1522.78{\pm}204.95g/cm^2$ in the experimental groups. Hardness increased with increasing garlic powder concentration. When considering moistness, overall acceptability, and other characteristics, the optimal concentration of steamed garlic powder was found to be 4%.

This study investigated the quality characteristics of sponge cakes with addition of corn starch. The corn starch was added with 0 (control), 10, 20, 30, and $40\%$ substitution ratios by weight per wheat flour, followed by measuring physical and sensory characteristics of product during storage Periods. Batter specific gravity decreased with increasing substitution levels while viscosity increased. The volume tended to increase according to the addition of corn starch. As storage progresses, hardness and chewiness increased in all treatments. $30\%$ treatments showed lower values, compared to other treatments throughout the storage period. Adhesivness increased as the amount of corn starch increased. The results of sensory evaluation showed that the overall acceptability of sponge cakes containing $20\%\;and\;30\%$ corn starch were higher than that of control without corn starch. Therefore, it can be suggested that of corn starch $30\%$ added to tile sponge cake for the quality improvement and functional element.

The effect of baking on the physicochemical and sensory properties was investigated using a model system of sponge cakes incorporated with pine leaf powder (PLP) as a value-added food ingredient. PLP was incorporated into cake batter at 5 levels (0, 2, 4, 6, and 8%, w/w) by adding an equivalent amount based on the weight of wheat flour. After appropriate mixing, sponge cakes were baked at $170^{\circ}C$ for 30 min in an oven. The baked cakes were cooled to room temperature for 1 h prior to all measurements. The pH, moisture content, specific volume, height, volume index, and symmetry index decreased significantly with the increase in PLP content (p<0.05). On the contrary, specific gravity of the batter and baking loss increased (p<0.05). The lightness of the cakes decreased, whereas redness increased significantly with the higher amount of PLP in the formulation (p<0.05). Hardness also increased significantly (p<0.05). Both total polyphenol content and DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl) radical scavenging activity increased significantly by the addition of PLP (p<0.05). The consumer acceptance test indicated that the addition of PLP up to 4% did not cause a significant unfavorable effect on the consumer acceptances in all attributes. The sponge cakes with 2-4% PLP would be recommended with respect to the overall acceptance score while taking advantage of the functional properties of PLP without sacrificing the consumer acceptability.
