This study was conducted with 418 adults 20 years or older, all of whom lived in Daegu and Gyeongbuk. According to a survey, the number of females was greater than that of males (40.7%) by 59.3%, and that for ages 30 years was the highest. The preference for Korean traditional drinks was relatively high at 51.8%, and the frequency of drinking Korean traditional drinks was 39.0%. The adults answered that they had these beverages on special days such as holidays, ritual days, and birthdays. Among the reasons for drinking a traditional beverage 'good taste' scored the highest with 27.0% of respondents, followed by 'Korean traditional food' with 24.4%. The recognition of Korean traditional drinks was high in the order of Sikhe, Soojunggwa, Cha, and Hwachae. The preference for Sikhe was the highest. The group who agreed that it was important to develop a Korean functional traditional drink was 11.5% higher than that of the negative group, as 13.4% 'agreed a lot' and 41.1% 'agreed'. Consumer awareness toward traditional drink functionality was generally positive, with 3.5 points or higher on average, and awareness of the nutritional supplementation, diabetes control, the recuperative effects of the drinks were also high. Among Korean traditional drinks Sikhe was the highest with regard to intention to purchase. As a result, the popularization of traditional Korean drinks was based on three factors: quality oriented image, popularity oriented image, and product attribute-oriented image. These factors significantly influenced the preference for and purchase of Korean functional traditional drinks.

Different amounts of black garlic extract(0, 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12%(W/W)) were added to white pan bread, and the quality characteristics were evaluated. The pH and density of dough was decreased with increasing concentration of black garlic extract. There was no marked difference in the fermentation power of the dough expansion among the samples. The pH of bread decreased, and there were no significant differences in baking loss rate, dough yield or bread specific volume as the concentration of black garlic extract was increased. Regarding crust and crumb color values, lightness gradually diminished with increased amounts of black garlic extract in bread, whereas redness and yellowness increased. For measurement of texture, the highest hardness and gumminess of bread were observed in the 1% added group, and there was no remarkable difference between the 3% added group and control. Sensory evolution was the highest when 6% black garlic extract was added, but there were no significant differences in terms of color or overall acceptability. The results imply that addition of black garlic extract to white pan bread created a healthy and functional bread.

The anticancer and immunomodulatory activities of low molecular weight (Mw 11 kDa) fucoidan isolated from Hizikia fusiforme (H. fusiforme) via the ultrasonification extraction process were assessed in this study. Low molecular weight fucoidan improved the growth of human B and T cells, up to approximately 40% as compared to the controls (untreated) and 30% for commercially available fucoidan (Mw 150 kDa). IL-6 and TNF-$\alpha$ were secreted from human B cells at levels of $7.8\times10^{-4}$ pg/mL and $7.2\times10^{-4}$ pg/mL, respectively, and these levels were higher than the levels measured in the controls and with other high molecular weight fucoidan. It was also determined that the cytokine from human B and T cells cultivated with added fucoidan enhanced the growth of human NK cells. The fucoidan isolated from H. fusiforme showed low cytotoxicity, approximately 19%, after the addition of 1.0 mg/mL, the highest tested concentration. The growth of human lung cancer cells (A549) and human breast cancer cells (MCF-7) were inhibited by 69.8% and 83.3%, respectively. These results demonstrated that the low molecular weight fucoidan isolated from H. fusiforme has potential as a new functional food component that evidences immunomodulatory activities and anticancer activity. One of the primary positive features of this fucoidan is that low molecular weight polysaccharides can be readily handled during processing.

This study was conducted to investigate quality characteristics of white pan bread with Cudrania tricuspidata leaf powder having functional components. Mixograph, pH, TPA, volume, specific volume, moisture, CrumbScan, color value, sensory evaluation and shelf-life test were performed on the white pan bread with Cudrania tricuspidata leaf powder. The obtained results are as follows. Mixogram analysis results showed that the dough with Cudrania tricuspidata leaf powder was suitable for baking quality. The more Cudrania tricuspidata leaf powder was added in the dough, the higher dough pH was and the lower pH values after fermentation and of the final productwere. TPA analysis results showed that higher amounts of Cudrania tricuspidata leaf powder resulted in increased hardness, chewiness, and gumminess of the white pan bread. Volume and specific volume of white pan bread were decreased with increased amounts of Cudrania tricuspidata leaf powder. CrumbScan images showed that fineness of grain, crust thickness, and volume of the bread were significantly different depending on the amount of Cudrania tricuspidata leaf powder. While color value analysis showed that increasing the amount of Cudrania tricuspidata leaf powder resulted in low L and a values. The results of the acceptance test showed that CLP3 had better scores in the appearance and texture characteristics than the control, while taste and overall acceptance were higher in the CLP2 compared with the control. According to the results of the shelf-life test, the white pan bread with 1~2% of Cudrania tricuspidata leaf powder had a significantly lower hardness when compared with the control. It was judged that a lower amount of Cudrania tricuspidata leaf powder could help in maintaining the softness of bread crumbs. Moisture content in the white pan bread decreased with the increased amounts of Cudrania tricuspidata leaf powder, but there were no significant differences among specimens.

The feasibility of incorporating jujube powder as a value-added food ingredient in bakery food products, using a model system of muffins, was investigated. Jujube powder was incorporated into muffins at 0, 5, 10, 15, and 20% weight amounts based on the total weight of wheat flour. Qualities, such as pH, volume index, height, and moisture content, of muffins decreased significantly with increasing levels of jujube powder added (p<0.05). In terms of color, lightness decreased, whereas redness increased significantly for both crust and crumb (p<0.05) with increasing levels of jujube powder. Baking loss also decreased gradually, while hardness and 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity were significantly influenced with higher amounts of jujube powder in the formulation (p<0.05). Finally, the consumer acceptance test indicated that the highest levels of jujube incorporation (20%, w/w) had a considerable adverse effect on consumer preferences in all attributes. In contrast, muffins with moderate levels of jujube powder (10%, w/w) are recommended (with respect to overall preference score) for taking advantage of the functional properties of jujube powder without sacrificing consumer acceptability.

The feasibility of incorporating cinnamon as a value-added food ingredient in bakery food products was investigated using sponge cakes as a model system. Cinnamon powder was incorporated into sponge cakes at 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4% weight amounts, based on the total weight of wheat flour. Cake qualities, such as pH, moisture content, specific volume, and baking loss, decreased significantly with increasing levels of cinnamon powder added (p<0.05). In terms of color, lightness and yellowness decreased, with increasing levels of cinnamon powder. Redness significantly increased for crumb, but decreased for crust (p<0.05) with increasing levels of cinnamon powder. Hardness also significantly increased (p<0.05), while total polyphenol content significantly increased, up to a 2% addition of cinnamon powder, and gradually increased afterwards. Finally, the consumer acceptance test has indicated that higher levels of cinnamon incorporation (2% or higher, w/w) have a considerable adverse effect on consumer preferences in all attributes. In contrast, sponges cakes with a minimal level of cinnamon powder (1%, w/w) are recommended for taking advantage of the functional properties of cinnamon powder without sacrificing consumer acceptability.

The quality attributes of bread made with milk protein (casein, C; whey protein, W) and polysaccharide (sodium alginate, A; ${\kappa}$-carrageenan, K) mixtures were investigated to study the method to suppressing quality deterioration during storage. Bread prepared with the CA mixture had a higher specific loaf volume compared to the control. And bread made with the WA mixture had reduced moisture loss during storage compared to the control. The hardness of control and breads containing protein-polysaccharide mixtures increased during storage, but hardness increased more in the control than the treatments. In terms of crumb color, the breads containing protein-polysaccharide mixtures had higher $L^{\ast}$ values, but lower $a^{\ast}$ and $b^{\ast}$ values than the control. Finally, there were no significant differences in sensory quality among the control and treatment breads. Overall, data indicate that the addition of CA and WA improved the baking quality of bread and retarded staling.

The feasibility of incorporating black sesame powder (BSP) as a value-added food ingredient into bakery products was investigated using a cookie model system. BSP was incorporated into cookies at different content: 0%, 2%, 4%, 6%, and 8% (w/w) based on the total weight of wheat flour. The spread ratio and loss rate of cookies increased significantly with increasing levels of BSP (P<0.05). All color characteristics, including lightness ($L^*$), redness ($a^*$), and yellowness ($b^*$), decreased with a higher amount of BSP. Use of BSP significantly reduced the hardness of cookies (P<0.05), but no significant differences were found between the control and 2%, 4%, and 6% samples (P>0.05). 2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl and 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) radical scavenging activities increased significantly (P<0.05). The consumer acceptance test indicated that addition of BSP up to 4% had a favorable effect on consumer preferences. Overall, cookies containing 4% BSP will add the advantage of the functional properties of BSP maintaining the consumer acceptability.

This study aims to examine the quality characteristics of bread by the amount of addition of black garlic powder. there bas been increasingly higher interest in functional foods. According to the results, after analyzing mixograph, of the dough by using mixograph, the bread containing black garlic powder was considered to be most suitable for making bread As for stickiness of the dough with black garlic powder added, the higher black garlic powder was added, the more the bread becomes sticky. BG 6(i.e. bread with 6% of black garlic powder) had the highest fermentation rate for 60-minute fermentation period(i.e. first fermentation). Analysis through crumbScan showed that there were significant differences in crumb fineness between the control and bread with addition of black garlic powder, showing no significant difference by the amount of addition of black garlic powder. As for the volume and specific volume of bread with addition of black garlic powder, the more black garlic powder, the less volume and specific volume. Preference test showed that BG 6 got the best appearance and taste, in overall preference, BG 6 and BG 9(i.e. bread with 9% of black garlic powder) showed the same degree. However, BG 6 is considered the optimum addition of black garlic powder to reduce the production costs in the numerical respect.
