This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of chestnut powder on antioxidant activity and quality characteristics of cookies. Cookies were prepared using different amounts of chestnut powder (0, 5, 10, 15 and 20% to the flour quantity). The antioxidant activity was estimated by measuring DPPH free radical scavenging activity and the total phenolic content in chestnut powder and cookies. In addition, the quality characteristics of the chestnut cookies were estimated based on: the bulk density and pH of the dough, spread factor, loss rate, leavening rate, color, texture profile analysis, and sensory evaluations. The spread ratio, a values, total polyphenol contents, and DPPH free radical scavenging activity of cookies significantly increased with increasing chestnut powder (p<0.001), while the leavening rate, L values, b values and hardness of the cookies significantly decreased with increasing chestnut powder (p<0.05). The sensory evaluation scores for the 15% chestnut powder cookie groups ranked significantly higher (p<0.05) than the other groups in overall preference, appearance, taste, color, chestnut taste, oily flavor, and aftertaste. Taken together, the results of this study suggest that chestnut powder is a good ingredient for increasing the consumer acceptability and functionality of cookies.

In this study, consumer acceptance and sensory intensity evaluations were performed on sponge cakes prepared with domestic and imported cake flours. Specific volume data as well as cross-sectional photograph observations confirmed that the imported flour sample group had greater volume than the domestic flour groups. The imported flour sample group also had a significantly (p<0.05) higher mean overall acceptability score at 5.82; however, it was not significantly different from the domestic white flour sample group (5.40). There was no significant difference in overall texture acceptance between samples prepared with imported and domestic white flours; however, their scores were significantly higher than that of the domestic whole flour group (p<0.05). Consumer acceptances of color significantly decreased as the orders of cake group prepared using the imported, domestic white, and domestic whole flours with the values of 6.48, 5.72 and 4.61, respectively (p<0.05). Acceptance of the air cell and the acceptance and intensity of sweetness did not show significant differences between the imported and domestic white flour group.

The principal objective of this study was to evaluate the sensory properties and physical characteristics of muffins produced using different fats(butter, grape seed oil) and mixing methods(Creaming method, Foam method, Single-stage method). The muffins weighed between $63.25{\sim}64.50$ g and were $5.77{\sim}6.42$ cm in height. In a texture analyzer test, muffins prepared via the single-stage method with butter evidenced the highest hardness, gumminess, and chewiness values among the five kinds of muffin prepared in these experiments. The springiness value was highest in the muffin prepared via the foam method with grape seed oil. In the sensory evaluation, we detected no significant differences among the muffins in terms of flavor($4.76{\sim}5.24$), taste($4.65{\sim}5.29$), softness ($4.65{\sim}5.41$), and overall acceptability ($4.47{\sim}5.29$). In the chemical composition analysis, moisture and crude protein contents were found to be higher in the control group(p<0.05) than in the muffin prepared via the foam method with grape seed oil(p<0.01). We noted no significant differences among the muffins in terms of crude lipids or crude ash content.

In this study, we investigated the quality and antioxidant activity of blueberry-pyun (traditional Korean jelly using blueberry) according to different ratios of blueberry juice (100%, 80%, 60%, 40%, and 20%). Moisture and pH significantly decreased as the content of blueberry juice increased (p<0.05). As the amount of blueberry juice decreased, the lightness (L) decreased. At the same time, the redness (a) and yellowness (b) were significantly higher (p<0.05). DPPH radical scavenging activity and anthocyanin contents increased significantly when the amount of blueberry juice increased (p<0.05). In the texture profile analysis, hardness decreased as the content of blueberry juice increased. There were no significant differences in springiness. 20% blueberry juice showed the highest gumminess and chewiness. During sensory evaluation, 60% blueberry juice showed the highest in the appearance, color, sweetness and overall-acceptability. From these results, we conclude that blueberry-pyun made of 60% blueberry juice is the most desirable.

The effects of added brown rice flour on the quality characteristic of waffle were investigated. Waffle were prepared by the addition of 0%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% of brown rice flour on wheat flour. The weight of waffle with brown rice flour ranged from 103.0~107.0 g and that of the control was 100.0 g. The volume of the waffle prepared by adding brown rice flour were 225.0~303.0 mL and that of the control was 307.5 mL. The weight of the waffle increased with increasing brown rice flour concentration, whereas volume and baking loss decreased. The hardness, chewiness (p<0.05) and springiness decreased with the addition of brown rice flour. The Hunter L values of waffle decreased, whereas a and b values increased with the addition of brown rice flour. The result of the sensory evaluation showed that taste and overall acceptability (p<0.05) was the highest for added brown rice flour.

The Mixed effect of Salvia miltiorrhiza and Glycyrrhiza uralensis(SG) on kimchi fermentation was investigated by measuring changes of physicochemical, icrobiological and sensory qualities of kimchi during fermentation. The pH of SG-added kimchi was a little higher than that of control during the fermentation. Titratable acidity, viable cell of total bacteria and lactic acid bacteria in mixed medicinal herbs(SG) added kimchi were changed more slowly than those in control. The inhibitory effect of the mixture on kimchi fermentation was increased as the concentration of the mixture was increased from 1% to 5%. Total bacteria and lactic acid bacteria of 3% and 5% SG-added kimchi reduced to 1.3~2.9 and 1.2~4.0 log10 cycle after 15 days fermentatin compared to control. The changes in texture of SG-added kimchi was a higher and sour taste of SG-containing kimchi excepts of 1% SG-added kimchi was more weak than that of control. Sensory score of flavor and overall acceptability did not show any significant difference between SG-added kimchi and control during fermentation. But SG-added kimchi decreased its sensory quality by 5% the other kimch.

This study was carried out to determine the optimum temperature of the jicama pickle solution by evaluating physicochemical and sensory characteristics at various temperatures. The soaking solution of the jicama pickle was prepared at different temperatures (95, 75, 50, and 25℃). During storage, the titratable acidity, Brix, and the salinity of the jicama pickles increased, and these values increased with increasing temperature of the soaking solution. The higher the temperature of the soaking solution, the lower the L and b values. In all samples, the hardness increased rapidly until the 5th day of storage, and then gradually decreased. During storage, the jicama pickles showed a high tendency to harden at soaking solution temperatures of 75 and 95℃. Sensory evaluation indicated that the taste, flavor, crispness, and overall preference of the jicama pickle were higher at a soaking solution temperature of 75℃ and above. The higher the temperature of the soaking solution, the higher the acceptability. Based on these results, we conclude that soaking solution temperature of 75°¦95℃ in the manufacture of jicama pickles had a positive effect on the reduction in tissue softening and the sensory properties of the jicama pickle.

Physicochemical properties and sensory characteristics of kakdugi prepared with red pepper powder gamma-irradiated up to 7 kGy were determined during fermentation at 5℃. The overall fermentation patterns between kakdugies with irradiated and nonirradiated red pepper powder were similar. Kakdugi prepared with irradiated red pepper powder required one week longer time for optimal ripening compared to the kakdugi control. Irradiated red pepper powder did not affect the hardness and fracturability of kakdugi during fermentation. Kakdugi prepared with irradiated red pepper powder maintained a redder color than the kakdugi control. No significant differences were observed in taste, odor, texture, and overall acceptability (p<0.05) except for color. It can be concluded that irradiation of red pepper powder, up to 7 kGy, did not affect the quality of kakdugi with regard to physicochemical and sensory characteristics during fermentation. Moreover, irradiated red pepper powder was better for maintaining the red color and delaying optimum ripening time of kakdugi fermentation.

This study was performed to determine the optimal composition of a makgeolli administered nuruk, water and Asparagus cochinchinensis. The experiment was designed base on BBD (box-behnken design), and an evaluation was carried out by means of RSM (response surface methodology), which included 15 experimental points with 3 replicates for the three independent variables nuruk, water and Asparagus cochinchinensis. The nuruk levels were tested in a range of 10~30 g, the water levels in a range 120~180% and Asparagus cochinchinensis was tested within a range of 2~6% by the weight of cooked-rice. Using the F-test, brix and appearance were expressed as a linear model, whereas the pH, acidity, DPPH radical scavenging, L-value, savory taste, taste, fresh aroma, after swallow and overall acceptability were expressed as a quadratic model. Increased amount of Asparagus cochinchinensis led to the reduction of the sensory scores for appearance, flavor, taste, texture and overall quality. The optimum formulation by numerical and graphical method were similar: nuruk 24.50 g, water 174.95% and Asparagus cochinchinensis 2.40%.
