The purpose of this study was to determine the most desirable mixture ratio of apricot powder to rice flour for the preparation of apricot Sulgidduk (Sulgidduk containing apricot powder). The moisture contents of the samples ranged from 38% to 42%. The L-value decreased, while the a- and b-values increased, with increasing amounts of added apricot powder. In the mechanical evaluation of the physical properties, we found that the hardness, adhesiveness, cohesiveness and springiness decreased with increasing apricot powder content. And in addition, throughout the storage period, gumminess and chewiness decreased. Based on the sensory evaluations, the apricot power intensified the color, flavor, sweetness and sourness of the Sulgidduk. The sample containing 12% apricot powder had the highest moistness, chewiness however, but the overall-acceptability scores of the sample containing 6% apricot powder had were the highest. Consequently, the addition of 6% apricot powder to the rice flour was determined to be the best formula for apricot Sulgidduk in terms of the sensory qualities such as softness, moistness, chewiness and overall-acceptability.

The aim of this study was to determine the optimum amount of apricot seed powder to add to rice flour in oder to prepare Sulgidduk (traditional rice cakes). As the apricot seed powder level of the Sulgidduk increased, the moisture contents of the samples decreased (40.30~43.46%), and the color of L- and a-values also decreased, while the b-value increased. According to instrumental test results, hardness, springiness, gumminess, chewiness and adhesiveness were all highest in the 0% apricot seed powder sample. The cohesiveness of samples did not show a conclusive relationship with the level of apricot seed powder present. In sensory evaluation results, the 3% and 6% samples received high overall acceptability scores. In conclusion, based on both sensory and instrumental testing, the optimal Sulgidduk mixture consisted of 3~6% apricot seed powder added to rice flour.

This study evaluated the quality characteristics of muffins prepared with different amounts (0%, 4%, 8%, or 12%) of apricot powder. The moisture content was higher in groups containing 8% and 12% apricot powder. The specific volume of muffins decreased as the amount of apricot powder increased. The lightness value was lower in groups containing apricot powder, with redness and yellowness values increasing with increasing amounts of apricot powder. Rheology tests showed no significant differences in hardness, springiness, and cohesiveness between control muffins and muffins with apricot added. Scanning electron microscopy showed that the number and size of air cells decreased with increasing levels of apricot powder. The substitution of wheat flour with apricot powder yielded muffins with a higher DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) radical-scavenging activity and total polyphenol content. Consumer acceptance tests revealed no significant differences in appearance, smell, and texture between muffin samples, but the taste and overall acceptability scores were lowest for muffins with 12% apricot added. Therefore, up to 8% apricot powder can be incorporated into muffins to meet the sensory quality and functional needs of the consumer.

Apple and apricot powders (APL-P and APR-P) were produced from apple and apricot fruits and they were used in cookie formulation at the levels of 10-40% (in flour bases). The APL-P and APR-P were rich in terms of total dietary fiber (TDF) and antioxidant power. The APR-P supplemented cookies had higher spread ratio and lower hardness values than the APL-P supplemented ones at all addition levels. The color values of the APR-P supplemented cookies were all acceptable. Overall sensory scores of the cookies supplemented with APL-P and APR-P were not significantly different from the control up to 20% addition. TDF contents of the supplemented cookies increased significantly with increasing addition level (p<0.01). The replacement of flour by APL-P and APR-P in wire-cut cookies showed that the physical characteristics and textural properties of the cookies were significantly affected (p<0.01) and APR-P appeared to be a more suitable replacer of flour than APL-P. Addition of both fruit powders upto 20% into the cookie formulation were evaluated as acceptable in terms of the sensory properties.

Instant hot sauce was prepared to produce a similar product to Korean-style gochujang using different ratio of cheongguk-jang (0~20%) and red pepper powder (7~27%). Moisture content decreased from 43.21 (control: BS0) to 19.13%(maximum addition of cheongguk-jang: BS4). L value was the lowest with control (BS0), and a-value and the b-value were higher with BS4. pH tended to increase significantly as the addition amount of cheongguk-jang powder increased (p<0.001). Titratable acidity was lowest at 5.40 for BS0 and 6.30 for BS4. Salinity and soluble solids were also decreased but viscosity increased with addition of cheongguk-jang. DPPH radical scavenging activity was increased from 50.9% (BS0) to 77.6% with BS4. Overall preference was highly evaluated with the sample (BS3) prepared with red pepper, cheongguk-jang, japanese apricot extract, and water at 12, 15, 40 and 25% (w/w), respectively. Results showed that the instant hot sauce had a possibility to replace Korean-style gochujang requiring lengthy fermentation time.

One of the main processes of tenderizing beef in Joseon Dynasty was chemical methods involving Apricot seeds, manchu cherry twig and leaves, bamboo skins, mulberry tree bark, mangsa (硭砂), salmiacum (磠砂), alcohol, fermented malt, and original honey. This study analyzed and compared the effect of broussonetia papyrifera, fermented malt, cherry trees, and mulberry tree bark from old cookbooks. Tenderizing beef with cherry trees was most effective in the experiment on shearing force, TPA, and electrophoresis of beef. According to sensory evaluation and electrophoresis test results, tenderized beef with mulberry tree bark was slightly more preferred over the method using cherry trees. However, in accordance with the above mentioned experiment, quantitative descriptive analysis showed that the most common tenderizing material was derived from morus alba powder.
