Quality Characteristics of Tofu Added Ligularia fischeri Powder

The quality characteristics of tofu added Ligularia fischeri powder (LFP) were investigated. The proximate composition of LFP used was as follows: moisture, 7.7%; crude protein, 12.0%; crude lipid, 5.9%; crude ash, 14.1%; and carbohydrate, 60.3%. The yield of tofu added LFP increased with the addition of LFP. However, there was a significant decrease in pH (from in the control to when 0.4% LFP was added) and a significant increase (from in the control to when 0.4% LFP was added) in total acidity. In addition, the L, a, and b values of tofu decreased with the increasing addition of LFP. In terms of textural properties, the hardness, cohesiveness, and brittleness increased, whereas springiness decreased, with the increasing addition of LFP. In the sensory evaluation, the overall preference for tofu added 0.3% LFP was the highest. According to the results, the addition of LFP positively affects the overall sensory evaluation of tofu, and 0.3% is the optimal level for addition.

Quality Characteristics of Jook Prepared with Hericium erinaceum Powder

The study was conducted to evaluate the effects of Hericium erinaceum Powder (HEP) on the quality characteristics of Jook. The proximate composition of HEP was as follows: moisture, 6.10%; crude protein, 32.69%; crude lipid, 4.63%; crude ash, 11.40%; and carbohydrates, 45.18%. Each sample contained 3, 6, and 9% Jook of Hericium erinaceum Powder (JHEP) compared to the control and their physicochemical properties assessed. As the level of HEP increased, there was a significant decrease in pH (p

Quality Characteristics and Volatile Flavor Components of Cooked Rice, Yenipsambab, with Lotus Leaf Powder

We investigated the quality characteristics and volatile flavor components in yenipsambab prepared with various concentrations of lotus leaf powder. Hunter`s color L and a values of yenipsambab decreased with increasing content of lotus leaf powder, whereas b value increased. Moreover, addition of lotus leaf powder resulted in increased hardness, adhesiveness, chewiness, and brittleness compared to control. Major volatile compounds of yenipsambab were ethyl benzene, 1,3-dimethylbenzene, 1,2-dimethylbenzene, and 5-hydroxymethyldihydrofuran-2-one.

Quality Characteristics of Dried Noodle Prepared with Strawberry Powder

This study evaluated the quality characteristics of dried noodles prepared with strawberry powder in order to determine the most preferred noodle recipe for children`s school meals. The proximate composition of strawberry powder used was as follows: moisture, 3.39%; crude protein, 1.53%; crude lipid, 0.97%; crude ash, 0.82%; and carbohydrates, 93.29%. When viscosity of the composite strawberry powder-wheat flours was measured by amylograph. Gelatinization point, maximum viscosity, viscosity at and viscosity at after 15 min decreased as the level of strawberry powder increased. As the level of strawberry powder increased, both L and b color values decreased, whereas a value increased. Weight, water absorption and volume of cooked noodles decreased, whereas turbidity of soup increased. For textural properties, addition of strawberry powder to cooked noodles reduced hardness, chewiness and brittleness. Overall preference according to the results of the sensory evaluation, noodles added with 6% strawberry powder were the most preferred. According to the results, the addition of strawberry powder can positively affect the overall sensory evaluation of dried noodles, and 6% is the optimal level for addition.
