The purpose of this study was to investigate the characteristics of macaroons prepared using natural color materials (Opuntia ficus-indica var. saboten (Re-N), mulberry leaf (Gr-N), pumpkin (Ye-N), and cocoa powder (Br-N)) and corresponding artificial food colorants (red (Re-A), yellow (Ye-A), green (Gr-A) and brown (Br-A)). The moisture content of macaroons prepared using natural color material was higher compared to the macaroons prepared using artificial food colorant. DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activity was similar in both types of macaroons. Lightness and redness of Re-N, Gr-N, Ye-N, and Br-N macaroons were lower than Re-A, Gr-A, Ye-A and Br-A macaroons. Yellowness of Re-N was higher because of the browning reaction. The texture profile analysis revealed lower hardness when natural color powder was employed. In the sensory evaluation, overall acceptability was not significantly different between natural colored and artificial colored macaroons. As a result, macaroons with the natural color material were softer and showed higher antioxidative activity, however, organoleptic properties were not much different when compared with macaroons with artificial colors. Apparently, it is stated that more studies on the development of macaroons with more enhanced physical functionality and good taste using natural materials should be performed.

This study was carried out for the purpose of inquiring into the effects on shelf-life, quality characteristics, and antioxidant activities, of Majakgwa. This study also regards to the use fermented turmeric powder at varying concentrations in the recipe. The proximate composition of fermented turmeric powder, crude fat, carbohydrate, crude protein, and crude ash was decreased. Viewed division compared to the freeze-dried turmeric curcumin content was increased during fermentation due to the increase of mineral content. With an increased of the amount of fermented turmeric powder used in Majakgwa recipes, the pH of the dough was higher than that of the controlled group. The acid value of Maejakgwa was lowered down, and most effectively controled when adding Turmeric power by 3~6%, and the peroxide value shows high antioxidant ability from the initial storagr period when adding 6%. TBA value appears to have the highest antioxidant ability, when adding 6%, showing lower increasing rate than that of sample group added 0~3% Turmeric powder. When added 9% or more, however, it shows higher TBA value comparing with normal Maejakgwa, the reference group, which indicates on the contrary that the antioxidant ability is lowering. The bitter taste, exterior color, incense of Turmeric, solidity, and crispy level of Maejakgwa with fermented Turmeric powder have been increased significantly as per increase of fermented Turmeric powder, and the sample group added with 9% have shown the best result in the overall taste level. It is anticipated that adding 6~9% of fermented Turmeric powder can increase the storage capability to give the best taste level and effective antioxidant ability by minimizing the off-flavor and bitter taste, through the research as above, which would be the most appropriate blending ratio of Turmeric powder for producing Maejakgwa.

This study was conducted to develop functional soybean paste with krill (Euphausiacea) as compared to a conventional soybean paste (S1). Soybean containing 10%, 20% and 30% (w/w) krill (S2~S4, respectively) was prepared and quality characteristics (moisture, crude fat, crude protein, ash, reducing sugar, pH, titratable acidity, total acidity and buffering power) were assessed during fermentation for 150 days. As well, antioxidative activities of krill soybean paste were compared to those of control soybean paste based on total phenolic compound content and free radical scavenging activity, including the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazil (DPPH) scavenging activity and the thiobarbituric acid value (TBA value). The moisture content of all samples decreased to 41.91~53.47% during fermentation, while the crude fat increased to 1.98~5.21% with increasing addition of krill. Additionally, crude protein increased slightly to 8.24~14.08% with increasing addition of krill after 120 days of fermentation. Ash content was 15.96~18.92%. The reducing sugar content of S2, S3 and S4 was higher than those of S1 with increasing length of fermentation. S2, S3, and S4 displayed progressive decreases in pH and progressive increases in titratable acidity compared to S1. The total acidity of all samples was increased, while the buffering power was decreased with increasing fermentation. Especially, the buffering power of S1 was lower than that of S2, S3 and S4. DPPH radical scavenging activity of lipophilic extracts from S2, S3 and S4 was slightly higher than those of S1. However, the radical scavenging activity of hydrophilic extracts from all samples had similar tendencies, regardless of the krill content or fermentation period. Total phenolics increased with increasing fermentation time and TBA value increased with increasing fermentation time and krill content.

Blueberry juice extraction (JE), hot water extract (HE), and 50% ethanol extract (EE) were fermented with Lactobacillus plantarum CGKW3. We investigated the quality characteristics and antioxidative activities of yanggaeng prepared with different amounts of fermented blueberry extract (JE, HE, EE). The viable cells in fermented HE was higher (7.49 log CFU/mL) than JE (7.28 log CFU/mL) and EE (6.99 log CFU/mL), during the fermentation period. The viable cells and acidity in yanggaeng increased significantly with increasing levels of fermented blueberry extract (p<0.05). In terms of color, the lightness and yellowness decreased significantly, but redness increased with increasing levels of fermented blueberry extract. In the texture profile analysis, control showed the highest result in hardness. Cohesiveness did not show significant differences, according to amount of fermented blueberry extract. The springiness decreased with the increasing levels of fermented blueberry extract. Antioxidant activity, which was measured by DPPH and reducing power, was significantly higher than those of control; and it increased proportionally according to the amount of fermented blueberry extract. Anthocyanin contents were increased proportionally with the increasing levels of fermented blueberry extract. Sensory evaluation showed that the color, taste, flavor, texture, and overall acceptability of yanggaeng containing the JE, HE, and EE were higher than those of the control.

This study was conducted to investigate the properties of rice makgeolli stored with different quantities of Cheonnyuncho fermentative extract (1%, 3%, 5%). Plain rice makgeolli(control)and cheonnyuncho-containing rice makgeolli(cheonnyuncho makgeolli) were stored and ripened for 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20 days at $5^{\circ}C$. The mineral contents of cheonnyuncho Makgeolli was higher than that of rice makgeolli. At the end of storage periods, the pH value of 1% cheonnyuncho makgeolli was higher than that of rice makgeolli. Of the major organic acids found in cheonnyuncho makgeolli (succinic, lactic, acetic, phosphoric, and malic), succinic acid had the highest concentration. Similarly, of all the free sugars, glucose was the most prominent. Before storage, hunter color L and b values were the highest in control followed by 1%, 3% and 5% cheonnyuncho makgeolli. At the end of storage period, color a value decreased in 1% cheonnyuncho makgeolli, whereas it increased in 3% and 5% cheonnyuncho makgeolli. The antioxidative effect of makgeolli was seen in 3% cheonnyuncho makgeolli. Total viable counts were the lowest in 3% cheonnyuncho makgeolli at the end of storage periods. A sensory evaluation test showed that the taste of cheonnyuncho-containing makgeolli was significantly better than that of control. From these results, we conclude that addition of cheonnyuncho fermentative extract at a concentration of 1-3% is suitable for the manufacturing of makgeolli products.

This experiment was carried out to find the quality characteristics of yanggaeng added antioxidant rich collagen powder in the color, sugar contents, texture, radical scavenging activity and electronic nose detected flavor. L value and a value kept decreased as the more collagen powder was added in the yanggaeng while b value was increased significantly at the same time. Sugar contents was increased significantly from $43^{\circ}$Brix in the control to 48% in the 10% treatment (p<0.05). Hardness in the 10% treatment of collagen powder increased biggest among the treatments but springiness decreased when hardness increased. And adhesiveness, cohesiveness, gumminess and chewiness were also increased with more the collagen powder in the treatments, therefore 10% treatment showed biggest result significantly. Radical scavenging activity kept increased with higher addition of collagen powder and it resulted 60% of radical scavenging activity in the 10% treatment. In the flavor test under electronic nose experiment, 10% of collagen powder treatment was believed it flavored most for it was found in the furthest from the AIR location. Control was found also in the nearest from the AIR, which meant it has least flavor than any other treatment. Also 2.5% and 5% of collagen powder added treatments showed little differences of flavor from control, which meant 5% of treatment was believed idea condition in the treatments. With the above experimental results, 5% of collagen powder treatment in the yanggaeng manufacturing was chosed as the best mixture ratio in the test.

This study was performed to produce WBM (wheat and barley mixture) bread containing molokhia powder with quality characteristics and antioxidant activities. Analysis of the chromaticity of WBM prepared with molokhia powder showed that; the lightness and redness were decreased, but yellowness was increased. In mechanical properties, hardness, gumminess, and chewiness were significantly increased as the amount of molokhia powder was increased. However, cohesiveness was significantly decreased. In sensory evaluation, WBM bread containing 1.5% of molokhia powder (MB1.5) showed an overall high preference level. The total polyphenol content of molokhia powder EtOH extract and MB1.5 were 29.19 and 58.18 mg TAE/g, respectively. The total flavonoid contents of molokhia powder EtOH extract and MB1.5 were 20.62 mg and 33.25 mg RE/g, respectively. The radical scavenging ability ($IC_{50}$) of DPPH ($IC_{50}$) for molokhia powder EtOH extract and MB1.5 was 31.04 and $58.18{\mu}g/mL$, respectively while that of ABTS was 33.25 and $54.15{\mu}g/mL$, respectively. The ${\alpha}-glucosidase$ inhibitory effects of molokhia powder EtOH extract and MB1.5 were 494.88 and $814.88{\mu}g/mL$, respectively. MB bread containing 1.5% molokhia powder showed antioxidative effects and ${\alpha}-glucosidase$ inhibitory activity, meaning that not only molokhia but also MB1.5 bread has the potential to prevent chronic degenerative diseases such as diabetes.
