The mechanical characteristics (texture and color) and consumer preference of Doraji Yanggengs using different pre-treatments and added levels of Doraji were presently evaluated. Three kinds of Doraji Yanggengs were made with differing amounts of Doraji powder (DPY; 30, 50, or 70 g), ground raw Doraji (GRDY; 100, 200, or 300 g), and Doraji juice (DJY; 100, 200, or 300 g). Texture characteristics (hardness, adhesiveness, springiness, chewiness, gumminess, cohesiveness) and color values (lightness, redness, yellowness) were measured three times in three experiments conducted with each formulation. Preference was measured with a nine-point hedonic scale for Yanggengs once every three experiments. Consumer preference was measured with color, flavor, taste, appearance, texture, and overall acceptability. Significant differences according to the amount of Doraji powder were evident with DPY for hardness (p<0.001), adhesiveness (p<0.05), and cohesiveness (p<0.001). Hardness (p<0.001), adhesiveness (p<0.001), chewiness (p<0.01), and gumminess (p<0.01) of 100 g GRDY displayed higher scores than 200 g and 300 g GRDY, but displayed significantly lower scores in cohesiveness (p<0.01). Hardness (p<0.001), adhesiveness (p<0.001), chewiness (p<0.001), gumminess (p<0.01), and cohesiveness (p<0.05) of DJY showed significant differences according to amount of Doraji juice. The highest score in a preference test among DPYs was evident for 30 g DPY. There were no significant differences in preference among GRDYs and DJYs. Color, flavor, taste, appearance, texture, and overall acceptability were significantly (p<0.01) correlated in all Yanggengs. DJY was preferred more than DPY and GRDY. Women in their forties and fifties preferred Yanggeng more when compared to women in their twenties and thirties.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the quality characteristics of sponge cake with various amounts of mulberry leaf powder in place of flour. The specific gravity of kneading was maintained at the different amounts of added mulberry leaf powder, which increased at ratios of 5, 10, 15, and 20 percent. The crumb decreased greatly when flour rather than mulberry leaf powder was used. As the amount of mulberry powder increased, red and yellow color decreased in both the crumb and crust. The volume and symmetry indices of the sponge cake slightly decreased when the amount of mulberry powder increased. However, uniformity was not significantly different between the samples. The specific volume of the cake decreased when the amount of the mulberry leaf powder increased. In addition, mulberry leaf powder increased the degrees of hardness and gumminess of cake, but did not show any differences for the cohesiveness and springiness of the cake texture. In the consumer acceptability test, the most favorable taste and odor were attained at the 10 percent level of mulberry leaf powder.

The feasibility of incorporating sweet pumpkin powder as a value-added food ingredient, using a model food system of jelly, was investigated. Sweet pumpkin powder was incorporated into jelly at 0, 2, 4, 6, and 8% (w/w) levels. Qualities, such as moisture content, pH, soluble solids content, color, hardness, and consumer preferences were determined. The moisture content of jelly decreased, but pH and soluble solids content increased significantly with increasing levels of sweet pumpkin powder (p<0.05). Lightness decreased but redness and yellowness increased significantly (p<0.05). Hardness also increased significantly with higher amounts of sweet pumpkin powder in the formulation (p<0.05). Finally, the consumer acceptance test indicated that the highest level of incorporation (8%, w/w) had a considerable adverse effect on consumer preferences in all attributes. The jellies with 2% sweet pumpkin powder are recommended (with respect to overall preference score) for taking advantage of the functional properties of sweet pumpkin powder without sacrificing consumer acceptability.

The new version of sikhye(sweet rice drink) was prepared by adding sweet pumpkin (SP) in order to improve customers' preferences for sikhye by modifying the color, and flavor, as well as health functionality. The independent variables were sweet pumpkin amount(0, 2, 4, 6, and 8% malt powder extract) and storage periods(0, 3, 6, 9, and 12 days). Each sample was measured by using physicochemical and sensory evaluations, and results were statistically tested to examine significant differences among samples. pH increased with higher amounts of added pumpkin. As additional levels of sweet pumpkin increased, the Hunter's L value decreased, whereas the b value increased. In a consumer acceptance test, all characteristics except for sweetness were significantly different at p<0.05. The overall acceptability, including yellowness, malt aroma, and sweetness in the pumpkin added sample was estimated to be better than the comparative sample was. There was no significant difference between SP4, SP6, and SP8, but SP2 showed a lower preference than other samples.

The feasibility of incorporating cranberry powder (CP) as a value-added food ingredient in cookies was investigated. The moisture content and spread ratio of cookies increased significantly with increasing levels of CP (p<0.05). Lightness and yellowness decreased, whereas redness increased significantly with higher amount of CP. The use of CP significantly decreased the hardness of cookies while 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) scavenging activity was significantly elevated. The consumer acceptance test indicated that the addition of CP up to 4% had a favorable effect on the consumer preferences in most attributes. Based on the overall observations, cookies with 4% CP can take advantage of the functional properties of CP without sacrificing consumer acceptability.

The effects of pine needle powder (PNP) on the physicochemical characteristics of tofu were investigated, and consumer acceptance test was conducted. The pH, moisture content, and lightness and yellowness significantly decreased with increasing PNP concentration from 0 to 0.8% (P<0.05). Hardness increased significantly with increasing PNP concentration (P<0.05). Antimicrobial effects of PNP incorporated into tofu were also investigated. Antioxidant activities of control and produced tofu were compared based on 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity and total polyphenol contents. DPPH radical scavenging activity and total polyphenol contents increased significantly (P<0.05) and were well-correlated. Tofu with 0.2% PNP is recommended (with respect to overall preference score) for taking advantage of the functional properties of PNP without sacrificing consumer acceptability.

The feasibility of incorporating black sesame powder (BSP) as a value-added food ingredient in convenient food products, using a model system of yanggaeng, was investigated. BSP was incorporated into yanggaeng at 0, 3, 6, 9, and 12% (w/w) weight amounts based on the total weight of cooked white bean and BSP. pH increased significantly with increasing levels of BSP added (p<0.05). In terms of color, lightness and yellowness decreased significantly but redness increased (p<0.05) with increasing levels of BSP. Hardness also increased significantly with higher amounts of BSP in the formulation (p<0.05). Total polyphenol content and 1,1-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity significantly increased as the BSP concentration increased in the formulation (p<0.05). Finally, the consumer acceptance test indicated that the highest levels of BSP incorporation (12%, w/w) had a considerable adverse effect on consumer preferences in all attributes. In contrast, yanggaengs with moderate levels of BSP (6%, w/w) are recommended (based on overall preference score) for taking advantage of the functional properties of BSP without sacrificing consumer acceptability.

The feasibility of incorporating orange peel powder (OPP) as a value-added food ingredient into convenient food products, was investigated using yanggaeng as a model system. OPP was incorporated into yanggaeng at amounts of 0, 3, 6, 9, and 12% (w/w) based on total weight of cooked white beans and OPP. pH decreased significantly with increasing levels of OPP (P<0.05), and moisture content was ranged from 46.28% to 47.87%. In terms of color, lightness, redness, and yellowness increased significantly (P<0.05) with increasing levels of OPP. Hardness increased significantly when OPP content was higher than 6% in the formulation (P<0.05). Total polyphenol content and 1,1-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging activity were significantly increased by addition of OPP in the formulation (P<0.05). Finally, consumer acceptance test indicated that the highest levels of OPP incorporation (12%, w/w) had an adverse effect on general consumer preferences. In contrast, yanggaeng with moderate levels of OPP (3~6%, w/w) is recommended (with respect to overall preference score) to take advantage of the antioxidant properties of OPP without sacrificing consumer acceptability.

Sulgidduk samples made with additions of 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5% Ulmus cortex powder, and a control, were examined for quality characteristics such as moisture content, color, gelatinization properties, textural characteristics, and consumer acceptance, in order to determine the optimal ratio of Ulmus cortex powder in the formulation. The moisture contents among the samples were not significantly different, ranging from 40.57 to 42.37%, and increased as the Ulmus cortex powder content increased. For the color values, lightness decreased and yellowness and redness increased with increasing Ulmus cortex powder content. With regard to the gelatinization properties, peak viscosity (P), trough viscosity (T), final viscosity (F), breakdown, and consistency increased with increasing amounts of Ulmus cortex powder. Pasting temperature, time to peak viscosity, and setback presented decreasing tendencies with the additions of Ulmus cortex powder. For the textural characteristics, increasing Ulmus cortex powder content presented decreases in hardness, springiness, and chewiness however, adhesiveness, cohesiveness, and gumminess were not significantly different among samples. In the consumer acceptance test, the scores of all evaluated characteristics decreased as the ratio of Ulmus cortex powder increased. However, the intensity ratings for the 1 and 2% Ulmus cortex powder samples showed the opposite effect, obtaining fairly good scores. In conclusion, the results indicate that adding $1{\sim}2%$ Ulmus cortex powder to Sulgidduk is optimal, providing good physiological properties and reasonably high consumer acceptability.
