This study was conducted to present primary data for the development of functional beverages by measuring quality characteristics and antioxidant properties and preparing coffee with dried fruit powder. The pH, water content, and brownness were higher in the control group than in the fruit-added sample group. Total polyphenols were highest in the Prunus Fruit Coffee (PFC) at 2765.43±87.03 mg GAE/L. In terms of DPPH, the fruit addition group (consisting of dried apple, dried cherry, and dried plum) was higher than the control group, and the LFC was the highest at 70.04±2.01%. ABTS showed high antioxidant properties in all sample groups, and LFC showed the highest content at 83.01±1.06%. Caffeine was the highest in the control group, all sample groups showed lower content than the control group, and AFC showed the lowest content at 664.70±16.36. As a result, the fruit-added coffee groups are higher than the control groups in terms of quality characteristics and antioxidant properties, and it is considered that the fruit groups are suitable as functional food materials when developing coffee products.

With the increasing demand for electronic products, the amount of multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) waste has also increased. Recycling technology has recently gained attention because it can simultaneously address raw material supply and waste disposal issues. However, research on recovering valuable metals from MLCCs and converting the recovered metals into high-value-added materials remains insufficient. Herein, we describe an electrospinning (E-spinning) process to recover nickel from MLCCs and modulate the morphology of the recovered nickel oxide particles. The nickel oxalate powder was recovered using organic acid leaching and precipitation. Nickel oxide nanoparticles were prepared via heat treatment and ultrasonic milling. A mixture of nickel oxide particles and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) was used as the E-spinning solution. A PVP/NiO nanowire composite was fabricated via Espinning, and a nickel oxide nanowire with a network structure was manufactured through calcination. The nanowire diameters and morphologies are discussed based on the nickel oxide content in the E-spinning solution.

This study investigated the quality characteristics and antioxidant activities of salad dressing prepared with Jerusalem artichoke powder (0%, 4%, 8%, and 12%). The pH, soluble solid content, and viscosity increased as the content of Jerusalem artichoke powder increased. The titratable acidity showed no significant differences between samples. The lightness values decreased, while the redness and yellowness values increased with increasing amounts of Jerusalem artichoke powder. The total polyphenol content ranged from 52.00-69.64 μg GAE/g, and increased with the increase in Jerusalem artichoke powder levels. The antioxidant activities measured via DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activity and reducing power also increased with increasing Jerusalem artichoke powder, at a higher rate than in the control. These results suggest that it is beneficial to add Jerusalem artichoke powder when in salad dressing.

We determined physicochemical characteristics and antioxidant activities of cookies prepared by replacing wheat flour with 0, 3, 6, and 9% freeze-dried burdock powder instead of wheat flour. The leavening and loss rates of the cookies decreased in proportion to the amount of burdock powder added to the dough. The moisture content of the cookies increased in proportion to the amount of burdock powder added and the crude protein and hardness were higher in the burdock-added group compared to the control. The lightness and yellowness of the cookies decreased, and the redness increased in proportion to the amount of burdock powder added. The total flavonoid and polyphenol compounds in the cookies increased in proportion to the amounts of burdock powder added. The antioxidant activities also tended to increase in proportion to the amount of burdock powder added. Based on the above results, adding burdock powder to cookies can increase antioxidant activity by increasing the content of antioxidant components, such as polyphenols and flavonoids. In addition, it is believed that adding burdock powder at levels of 3 to 9% of the weight of flour would result in cookies with spreadability, swelling power, and hardness similar to those of regular cookies.

Thermite welding is an exceptional process that does not require additional energy supplies, resulting in welded joints that exhibit mechanical properties and conductivity equivalent to those of the parent materials. The global adoption of thermite welding is growing across various industries. However, in Korea, limited research is being conducted on the core technology of thermite welding. Currently, domestic production of thermite powder in Korea involves recycling copper oxide (CuO). Unfortunately, controlling the particle size of waste CuO poses challenges, leading to the unwanted formation of pores and cracks during thermite welding. In this study, we investigate the influence of powder particle size on thermite welding in the production of Cu-thermite powder using waste CuO. We conduct the ball milling process for 0.5–24 h using recycled CuO. The evolution of the powder shape and size is analyzed using particle size analysis and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Furthermore, we examine the thermal reaction characteristics through differential scanning calorimetry. Additionally, the microstructures of the welded samples are observed using optical microscopy and SEM to evaluate the impact of powder particle size on weldability. Lastly, hardness measurements are performed to assess the strengths of the welded materials.

This study investigated the quality characteristics and antioxidant effects of rice cookies containing different percentage of freeze-dried plum powder (3%, 5%, 6%, and 12%). The density of the dough and the thickness of the rice cookies from the control group and the additive group were not significantly different. The pH value of the dough, its moisture content and spread factor, as well as the Hunter’s L and b values of the rice cookies significantly decreased as the amount of dried plum powder added increased. However, the sweetness, hardness, thickness, Hunter’s a value, total polyphenol, total flavonoid and anthocyanin contents, DPPH and ABTS free radials scavenging activity, and ferric reducing antioxidant power of the rice cookies significantly increased as the amount of dried plum powder added increased. Overall, the results of this study showed that adding dried plum power enhanced the antioxidant activities and quality characteristics of rice cookies.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the antioxidant activities, quality characteristics, and storage stability of perilla oil mayonnaise (PM) with different levels of onion powder (OP) from 0 to 3%. As the amount of OP increased, the L, a, and b values increased, but pH decreased (p<0.05). The addition of OP raised viscosity (p<0.05). The addition of OP to PM proportionally increased the total phenolic content, and antioxidant activities as measured by DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activity, and FRAP assay. When compared to PM without OP, PM that contained OP had a peroxide value that was almost 1.94 times lower. The emulsion stability was between 97.62 to 94.92% in the PM without OP and PM with OP groups was 99.60% for 12 weeks. This study showed that the inclusion of OP in PM has the potential to inprove its quality, antioxidant activities, and storage stability.

This study investigated the quality characteristics of emulsion-type chicken breast sausages containing black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) powder. The chicken breast and BSFL powder were added at various mixing ratios (C:chicken breast 56% and BSFL powder 0%, 1%:chicken breast 55% and BSFL powder 1%, 2%:chicken breast 54% and BSFL powder 2%, 3%:chicken breast 53% and BSFL powder 3%). The pH, moisture content, and water holding capacity of the sausages increased with the powder amount. In the instrumental color evaluation, the L* and b* values were significantly different among the samples (p<0.05). However, there was no significant difference in a* value (P>0.05) with the amount of powder added. Volatile basic nitrogen and acid value tended to increase with the amount of BSFL powder. The total phenolic content tended to increase, but the value of IC50 according to DPPH radical scavenging decreased as the amount of powder increased. This study concluded that BSFL powder can be used in meat products processing as a substitute for meat protein and may also improve antioxidant activity.

The total phenol and flavonoid contents significantly increased according to the amount of black ginseng powder added. These results suggest that black ginseng powder can be applied to cookies to achieve high quality and antioxidant activity.

The quality characteristics and antioxidant activity of Tteokbokkidduk alone or supplemented with 3%, 6%, 9%, and 12% wheat bran powder were assessed, to increase use of the wheat bran by-product of wheat milling. The moisture content, pH, and starch elution of Tteokbokkidduk increased with increasing wheat bran powder, while the water absorption rate did not. The L color value decreased and the a and b values increased with increasing wheat bran powder. Scanning electron microscopy of Tteokbokkidduk prepared with 0% and 3% wheat bran powder revealed uniform pore size distribution. In terms of texture profile analysis, hardness and chewiness increased, while cohesiveness decreased with increased content of wheat bran powder. Acceptance was highest for samples with 6% wheat bran powder. Quantitative description analysis (QDA) revealed increased brownness, roughness, nutty, bitterness, astringency, savory character, and hardness, and decreased adhesiveness, springiness, and chewiness with increased wheat bran powder. Principal component analysis (PCA) revealed highest overall acceptance of samples prepared with 6% wheat bran powder, reflecting the relatively low values of detrimental sensory characteristics. Antioxidant activities of Tteokbokkidduk increased as wheat bran powder content increased. The addition of 6% wheat bran powder resulted in excellent Tteokbokki in terms of acceptance, quality, and antioxidant activity.

This study investigated the quality characteristics and antioxidant activity of Yanggaeng prepared with various amounts of watermelon radish flesh (WRF) powder, in ratios of 0 (control), 2.5, 5, 7.5, and 10% of the cooked white bean paste. The proximate composition, pH, sugar content, Hunter’s color values, texture analysis, and antioxidative activities of Yanggaeng were examined.

Texture measurement scores in terms of springiness, chewiness for Yanggaeng showed that 2.5% or 5.0% group was higher than those of the control group. Hardness was higher in the sample groups than in the control group. In conclusion, the results show that Yanggaeng with up to 7.0% added WRF powder can be developed as products, and there is a possibility of developing health functional snack products using WRF powder.

This study assessed the preparation and quality characteristics of cookies prepared from Taraxacum coreamm powder (TCP) (0, 2, 4, 6, 8%) substituting wheat flour. The pH of the cookie dough significantly decreased with increasing TCP. However the density of the cookie dough was not significantly different among the test groups. The baking loss rate of the groups with TCP was slightly lower, whereas the moisture content was higher than the control group. The spread factor of the cookies decreased significantly with increasing TCP. The hardness of the cookies increased as TCP increased. In Hunter’s color value, the L and a value of the cookies decreased with increasing TCP, while the b value increased. The DPPH radical scavenging activity of the cookies significantly increased with increasing TCP. Based on the above results, this study suggested that TCP can be a good ingredient to increase the functionality of cookies.

This study was conducted to find out the bakery processing suitability of maca and to develop rice-based processed foods. We investigated the antioxidant activity and physicochemical properties of rice cookies prepared with the addition of maca (Lepidium meyenii) powder (1%, 2%, 3%, and 4% of the total materials). We observed an increase in the total polyphenol and flavonoid content, and DPPH-ABTS+ radical scavenging activity of the rice cookies as the proportion of added maca powder increased (p<0.05). The quality characteristics such as the “a” value, “b” value, and the hardness of the cookies increased with an increase in the proportion of maca powder (p<0.05) in the cookie, whereas the moisture content, pH of the dough, spread ratio, loss rate, leavening rate, and “L” values showed a significant decrease (p<0.05). In the sensory evaluation results, consumer acceptability showed a significantly higher value in the 2% maca cookie group (p<0.05), and the characteristic intensity rating (color, flavor, bitterness) increased as the proportion of maca added to the cookie increased (p<0.05). Therefore, this suggests that adding 2% maca powder as the functional ingredient in rice cookies can result in rice bakery products with excellent qualities.

Based on the present study results, adding 2% of Cirsium nipponicum powder into pork patties achieved the best functionality and sensory qualities.

The purpose of this study is to optimize the powder formulation and manufacturing conditions for the solidification of an extract of the herb Bangpungtongseong-san (BPTS). To develop BPTS-loaded particles for the tablet dosage form, various BPTS-loaded particles composed of BPTS, dextrin, microcrystalline cellulose (MCC), silicon dioxide, ethanol, and water are prepared using spray-drying and high shear granulation (high-speed mixing). Their physical properties are evaluated using scanning electron microscopy and measurements of the angle of repose, Hausner ratio, Carr’s index, hardness, and disintegration time. The optimal BPTS-loaded particles exhibit improved flowability and compressibility. In particular, the BPTS-loaded particles containing silicon dioxide show significantly improved flowability and compressibility (the angle of repose, Hausner ratio, and Carr’s index are 35.27 ± 0.58°, 1.18 ± 0.06, and 15.67 ± 1.68%, respectively), hardness (18.97 ± 1.00 KP), and disintegration time (17.60 ± 1.50 min) compared to those without silicon dioxide. Therefore, this study suggests that particles prepared by high-speed mixing can be used to greatly improve the flowability and compressibility of BPTS using MCC and silicon dioxide.
