Cedrela sinensis is a Korean traditional wild herb that has a special taste and aroma. This study is conducted to investigate the effect of Cedrela sinensis powder on the antioxidant activity and the quality characteristics of Maejakgwa (Korean traditional cookie). Maejakgwa was prepared with different amounts of Cedrela sinensis powder (in ratios of 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20% to the flour quantity). The antioxidant activity was estimated by DPPH free radical scavenging activity and the total phenol content in Cedrela sinensis powder and Maejakgwa. For analyzing the quality characteristics, the bulk density and pH of the dough, moisture contents, volume, color, texture profile analysis, and sensory evaluations were measured. The bulk density, moisture contents, volume, total phenol contents and DPPH free radical scavenging activity of Maejakgwa significantly increased with increasing Cedrela sinensis powder (P<0.001), while the pH of the dough, L values and b values of Maejakgwa significantly decreased with increasing Cedrela sinensis powder content (P<0.001). The consumer acceptability score for 10% Cedrela sinensis Maejakgwa ranked significantly higher (P<0.001) than those of the other groups in overall preference, flavor, taste, crispiness and color. From these results, we suggest that Cedrela sinensis is a good ingredient for increasing the consumer acceptability and functionality of Maejakgwa.

This study is performed to examine the functional and quality characteristics of glutinous barley Jeung-pyun added with beet powder. Jeung-pyun is being prepared with concentration of 0, 2, 4, 6 and 8% (w/w) of the beet according to nonglutinous rice powder weight. The pH level of Jeung-pyun batters decrease along with fermentation time. However, the pH level of Jeung-pyun is higher than that of the Jeung-pyun batter. For hunter's color value of glutinous barley Jeung-pyun added with beet powder, the L (lightness) values decrease with increasing concentrations of beet powder, whereas a (redness) values increase (p<0.001). In the texture analysis, the hardness, chewiness and gumminess are significantly increased with the amount of glutinous barley Jeung-pyun with added beet powder. According to sensory evaluations, the appearance, color, flavor, taste, texture and overall quality are considered very good in the 4% of added beer powder in glutinous barley Jeung-pyun (p<0.001). The antioxidant activities of beet powder by DPPH free radical scavenging activity, ferric reducing antioxidant power and total phenolic contents are being recorded at 259.52 ㎕/㎎, 0.44±0.01, 15.29±0.04 ㎎ GAE/g respectively. The antioxidant activities of glutinous barley Jeung-pyun added with beet powder increase with increasing concentrations of beet powder. These results suggest that beet powder are useful as functional food resources within antioxidant activities.
