The effect of baking on the consumer perception and sensory characteristics was investigated using a model system of cookies incorporated with strawberry powder as a value-added food ingredient. Strawberry powder was incorporated into cookie dough at 4 levels (0%, 2%, 4%, and 6%, w/w) by replacing equivalent amount of wheat flour of the cookie dough. After aging and sheeting, cookies were baked at $170^{\circ}C$ for 15 min in an oven. The baked cookies were cooled to room temperature for 1 h and packed in airtight bags prior to all measurements. In terms of color, control received the most favorable mean score, which is significantly higher than others (p<0.05) followed by the 4% sample. The consumer preference on taste and aftertaste was not significantly affected by the amount of strawberry powder incorporated in the formulation (p>0.05). Samples with 4% strawberry powder received the highest mean flavor score of 6.28 which is significantly higher than that of 6% sample (p<0.05). In overall, substitution of 4% strawberry powder in the formulation would result in the most favorable strawberry cookies by the consumers with taking advantages of health benefits of strawberry. Correlation analysis indicated that strawberry powder concentration was significantly correlated positively with sensory color and hardness and negatively correlated with consumers' overall acceptability (p<0.05). Consumers' aftertaste was significantly correlated with overall acceptability which was negatively correlated with sensory hardness (p<0.05). Sensory hardness was highly correlated with sensory color attribute (p<0.05).

The effects of baking with broccoli powder on the consumer perception and sensory characteristics were investigated using a model system of cookies incorporated with broccoli powder as a value-added food ingredient. Broccoli powder was incorporated into cookie dough at 5 levels (0%, 1%, 2%, 3%, and 4%, w/w) by replacing equivalent amount of wheat flour of the cookie dough. After aging and sheeting, cookies were baked at $170^{\circ}C$ for 8 min in an oven. The baked cookies were cooled to room temperature for 1 hour and packed in airtight bags prior to all measurements. Control received the most favorable mean score, which was not significantly different from samples with 1% broccoli powder for color preference (p>0.05). Results of the consumer preference on taste showed a similar trend. Consumers did not find any significant differences on aftertaste and flavor among samples prepared by replacing wheat flour with up to 2% broccoli powder (p>0.05). Overall, incorporation of 1% broccoli powder in the formulation would result in the most favorable broccoli cookies for the consumers without sacrificing the sensory qualities, while still taking advantages of health benefits of broccoli. Correlation analysis indicated that broccoli powder concentration was significantly negatively correlated with the consumer preference for color, taste, aftertaste, flavor, overall acceptability and positively correlated with sensory color, taste, and flavor (p<0.05). Consumers' color, taste, aftertaste, and flavor were well correlated with the overall acceptability (p<0.05). Sensory intensity results are also presented.

Recently, there has been a great deal of public interest in health foods, such as turmeric (Curcuma longa L). In this study, the baking features of turmeric powder were evaluated by making pan bread. To accomplish this, the effects of added turmeric powder on the results of mixograph analysis as well as, the pH and, fermentation rate were measured. In addition, the features of the bread were examined by testing the stickiness of the dough and the TPA of the product using a texture analyzer. Finally, the consumer's preferences were investigated by evaluation of the color difference, crumbScan and sensory evaluation. The results revealed that as the level of turmeric powder increased, the pH decreased. which resulted in the gas possessing capacity of the dough improving and the fermentation persistence of the dough increasing. In addition, the stickiness increased as the turmeric powder content increased. However, there were significant differences among breads produced using different amounts of turmeric powder. Evaluation of the taste revealed that the TP3 group had the higher score than control score and TP7 had the lowest score. In overall preference, TP7 was especially low and the preference decreased as the content of turmeric powder increased.

The objective of this study was to compare pork characteristics and to determine consumer acceptability of pork chops from antibiotic free Yorkshire crossbreds sired by Berkshire (BY), Large Black (LBY), Tamworth (TY) or Yorkshire (YY) boars and reared in hoop houses. The experiments were conducted at the North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University (NCA&TSU) Farm in Greensboro, NC and the Cherry Research Station Center for Environmental Farming Systems (CEFS) Alternative Swine Unit in Goldsboro, NC (source of antibiotic free Yorkshire sows used at both places). Twenty-four sows were artificially inseminated at each location in each of three trials. Litters were weaned at 4 wks old, and reared within deep-bedded outdoor hoop houses. To compare pork characteristics, 104 randomly selected animals were harvested at a USDA-inspected abattoir at approximately 200 d of age. Variables measured included pH, color score, $L^*$, $a^*$, $b^*$, marbling score, drip loss, hot carcass weight, backfat thickness (BF), loin muscle area (LMA), and slice shear force. Sensory panel tests were also conducted at two time periods. The data was analyzed with GLM in SAS 9.01 including location, trial, and sire breed as fixed effects. Backfat thickness, LMA, color score and $a^*$ were different among breeding groups (p<0.05). The LBY pigs had thicker backfat and smaller LMA than the other breed types. The TY and YY had less backfat than all other breed groups. Color score was lower for YY than BY and LBY but intermediate for TY. The $a^*$ was lower for TY than other breeds except LBY which was intermediate. For one sensory panel test, YY pork was more preferred overall as well as for juiciness and texture compared to BY and LBY (p<0.05), but no impact of breed type was noted for the other test, with values similar for BY, LBY, TY and YY pork. This information may help small farmers make decisions about breed types to use for outdoor production.

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of pine needle powder on antioxidant activity and the quality characteristics of Majakgwa (Korean traditional cookie). Majakgwa was prepared with different amounts of pine needle powder (in ratios of 0, 3, 6, 9 and 12% to the flour quantity). The antioxidant activity was estimated by DPPH free radical scavenging activity and by the total phenol content in pine needle powder and Majakgwa. For analyzing the quality characteristics, bulk density and pH of the dough, moisture content, volume, color, texture profile analysis and sensory evaluations were measured. The bulk density, volume, total phenol contents and DPPH free radical scavenging activity of Majakgwa significantly increased with increasing pine needle powder (p<0.001), whereas the pH of the dough, L values and b values of the Majakgwa significantly decreased with increasing pine needle powder content (p<0.001). The consumer acceptability score for the 6% pine needle Majakgwa ranked significantly higher (p<0.001) than those of the other groups in overall preference, flavor, taste, crispiness and color. Acid value and peroxide value was lower in Majakgwa with pine needle powder than control. From these results;we suggest that pine needle powder is a good ingredient for increasing consumer acceptability and functionality of Majakgwa.
