This study investigated the quality and antioxidative properties of a Korean steamed-rice cake, Sulgidduk added with Prunus yedoensis Matsumura extract, and vitamin C. Sulgidduk was prepared by adding Prunus yedoensis Matsumura extract at 0, 0.1, 0.2, and 0.3% of rice powder. Antioxidant activities were measured by the scavenging activities of DPPH radicals, $ABTS^+$ radicals, $superoxide^-$ radicals and the reducing power. For analyzing quality characteristics, proximate composition, color, texture profile analysis, and sensory evaluations were measured. The antioxidative effect of the Sulgidduk significantly increased as the addition level increased, compared to the original Sulgidduk (p<0.001). As the content of Prunus yedoensis Matsumura extracts increased, L-values significantly decreased while the a-value and b-value significantly increased (p<0.001). For the texture profile analysis, the control group had a significantly higher value for hardness as compared to the Prunus yedoensis Matsumura extract-added groups (p<0.05). Springiness, chewiness and adhesiveness were not significantly different among the samples. In the sensory evaluation, the samples containing 0.1% and 0.2% Prunus yedoensis Matsumura extracts obtained better results in attribute. From these results, we suggest that Prunus yedoensis Matsumura is a good ingredient for increasing the consumer acceptability and the functionality of Sulgidduk.

This study was conducted to find out the bakery processing suitability of maca and to develop rice-based processed foods. We investigated the antioxidant activity and physicochemical properties of rice cookies prepared with the addition of maca (Lepidium meyenii) powder (1%, 2%, 3%, and 4% of the total materials). We observed an increase in the total polyphenol and flavonoid content, and DPPH-ABTS⁺ radical scavenging activity of the rice cookies as the proportion of added maca powder increased (p<0.05). The quality characteristics such as the "a" value, "b" value, and the hardness of the cookies increased with an increase in the proportion of maca powder (p<0.05) in the cookie, whereas the moisture content, pH of the dough, spread ratio, loss rate, leavening rate, and "L" values showed a significant decrease (p<0.05). In the sensory evaluation results, consumer acceptability showed a significantly higher value in the 2% maca cookie group (p<0.05), and the characteristic intensity rating (color, flavor, bitterness) increased as the proportion of maca added to the cookie increased (p<0.05). Therefore, this suggests that adding 2% maca powder as the functional ingredient in rice cookies can result in rice bakery products with excellent qualities.

We investigated the quality characteristics and antioxidant capacities of Korean commercial yogurt. Twenty commercial yogurt samples exhibited a pH of 4.05-4.51, titratable acidity of 0.80-1.45%, viable counts of 6.65-9.39 log CFU/g, and total phenolic content of 0.71-2.92 mg gallic acid equivalent/g dry weight (dw). Lactic acid was the major organic acid detected by HPLC with UV detection, and its content was 5.4 times and 46.5 times higher than that of malic acid and citric acid, respectively. The tested commercial yogurt samples exhibited antioxidant potential (1.62-8.95 mM trolox equivalent/g, dw) measured based on scavenging activities of DPPH and ABTS radicals. The average antioxidant potentials of commercial set yogurt containing fruit syrup were significantly (p<0.05) higher than that of cream and plain yogurt. A positive linear correlation was observed between the total phenolic content and the antioxidant capacities, suggesting that phenolic components are likely to contribute significantly to the antioxidant potential of commercial yogurt.

The aim of this study was to enhance the antioxidant activity of salted squid by inoculation of two Weissella spp. strains (W. cibaria FB-069 and W. viridescens FB-077) isolated from traditional Korea salted squid. The safety and probiotic potential characteristics of these two strains were evaluated. The safety of these strains was analyzed based on hemolytic activity, mucin degradation, biogenic amino production, and resistance to antibiotics. These lactic acid bacteria showed probiotic potential, including resistance to gastrointestinal tract conditions, adhesion to Caco-2 cells, and aggregation. The low-salted squid fermented with Weissella strains had consistently higher antioxidant activity through changing their amino acid profiles. Therefore, W. cibaria FB-069 and W. viridescens FB-077 might be good candidates for fermentation of salted squid to develop functional food with enhanced health benefits.

Cheonggukjang (CGJ) is a famous traditional Korean food that is typically produced by fermenting steamed soybean seeds and has a unique flavor and taste. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of addition of lotus seeds on the quality and antioxidant activities of CGJ. Color value, 1,1-diphenly-2-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging potential, and the amounts of total polyphenol, total flavonoid, mineral, and free amino acid were evaluated. The CGJ sample produced with lotus alone or a mixture of soybean and lotus produced in Korea showed relatively high antioxidant potential. The amount of essential and total free amino acids was also high in the sample prepared with lotus seeds grown in Korea. On the other hand, the total mineral content was low in the lotus-based samples. The results indicated that a mixture of an equal proportion of soybean and lotus seeds could be a good option to prepare nutritious CGJ.

The physicochemical and antioxidant properties of cookies prepared using powders of barley sprout (BS), lemon balm (LB), and green tea (GT) were studied. The same dough density was maintained in all the sample groups. The experimental group to which the natural ingredients containing antioxidants were added did not show any significant change in the appearance of cookies compared to the control. LB and GT cookies showed significantly lower hardness compared to the control (p<0.05). Control showed the lowest antioxidant effect when assessed with 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl. (DPPH) and this gradually increased in the order of BS, LB, and GT. The antioxidant activity of GT was 7 times higher as compared to the control (p<0.05). The antioxidant activity assessed using 2,2'-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) also showed results similar to that seen with DPPH. GT showed a significantly higher total phenol content, about 2-3 times higher compared to the control (p<0.05). GT had significantly higher total flavonoid content than that of the control (p<0.05). Thus, the addition of natural antioxidant ingredients such as sprout barley, lemon balm and specifically green tea, in the preparation of cookies, resulted in excellent antioxidant activity with similar physicochemical quality characteristics. The study suggests that it is possible to develop cookies that are competitive in terms of nutritional and physiologically active functions.

Mulberry root bark is one of potential plant sources for antioxidant materials which can be used for the relief of oxidative stress. To explore the effects of solvent type and temperature on the structural characteristics and antioxidant activity of the root bark extracts, we prepared various extracts of mulberry root bark (Morus alba L.) using 0 - 100 % ethanol (EtOH) at RT - 100℃. EtOH concentration and temperature critically affected the extraction yields, the content of bioactive components, and antioxidant activity of the extracts. Use of high content of EtOH solvent and low temperature resulted in the low extraction yield. Meanwhile, it was revealed that the extract prepared using absolute EtOH at room temperature contained polyphenols and flavonoids with the highest contents among other extracts. Interestingly, the temperature differently affected the polyphenol and flavonoid contents according to the solvent types. In the case of 30% EtOH solvent, polyphenol and flavonoid contents increased with an increase in temperature, whereas in the case of 70 and 100 % EtOH, these contents decreased. Using the radical scavenging assay, it was confirmed that the 100% EtOH extracts had higher antioxidant activity compared to distilled water (DW) extracts regardless of temperature. Also, heating might extract more antioxidant components from the root bark. Especially, the extract prepared using 30% EtOH solvent at 100℃ showed the highest antioxidant activity. Taken together, these experimental results imply that the extraction parameters should be designed carefully considering the productivity, the extracted bioactive components, and antioxidant activity.
