The purpose of this study was to investigate the quality characteristics of cookies containing Ligularia fischeri powder (0, 1, 2, 3, 4%) substituted for flour. This study measured the density, pH, spread ratio, volume, color values, hardness, and sensory properties of cookies. The pH of cookie dough significantly decreased in response to addition of Ligularia fischeri powder (LFP) at all levels. The spread factor of cookies also significantly increased with higher LFP content. In addition, Hunter's color L, a, and b values significantly decreased with increasing LFP content. According to hardness measurement, substitution of 1~4% LFP resulted in increased hardness compared to the control. In the sensory evaluation, sensory scores for color, flavor, and overall acceptability were highest in 2% Ligularia fischeri powder cookies. Thus, our results suggest that the optimum amount of Ligularia fischeri powder added to cookies was 2%. These results suggest that Ligularia fischeri powder can be applied to cookies to achieve high quality and functionality.

This study investigated the quality of noodles containing different amounts of Ligularia fischeri powder (LFP). Noodles were prepared at ratios of 0, 1, 3, 5, and 7% LFP based on flour weight. Cooking quality, mechanical texture properties, and viscosity were measured, and a sensory evaluation was performed with the prepared noodles. Gelatinization points of the composite LFP-wheat flours increased. As measured via amylography, viscosity at 95oC, viscosity at 95oC after 15 minutes, and maximum viscosity values of samples decreased, as the LFP content increased. As increasing amounts of LFP were added, the L, a, and b values decreased while color values, weight, and volume of cooked noodles increased, as did the turbidity of the soup. With regard to textural characteristics, LFP additive increased hardness, cohesiveness, and springiness, while decreasing adhesiveness. Sensory evaluation showed that high quality cooked noodles could be produced by inclusion of 3% LFP.

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 6.03±0.11 in the control to 5.78±0.11 when 0.4% LFP was added) and a significant increase (from 2.60±0.01 in the control to 2.85±0.10 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.

곰취가 갖는 우수한 생리기능을 활용하고자 곰취 분말을 0, 1, 3, 5 및 7% 첨가한 만두피를 제조하여 그 품질특성을 평가함으로써, 다양한 기능성 만두피 개발 및 곰취의 이용 분야 확대를 위한 기초자료를 제공하고자 하였다. 호화개시온도는 곰취 분말의 첨가량이 증가될수록 점진적으로 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 최고점도, 95℃에서 점도 및 95℃에서 15분간 유지한 후의 점도는 곰취 분말의 첨가량이 증가함에 따라 낮아지는 것으로 나타났다. 만두피의 색도는 곰취 분말 첨가량이 증가함에 따라 명도(L값)와 적색도(a값)는 유의하게 감소하였으며, 황색도(b값)는 각 시료간에 유의하게 증가되었다. 조리특성에서 곰취 분말을 첨가한 만두피는 대조군에 비해 중량, 부피, 수분흡수율 등이 모두 높게 나타났다. 만두피의 조직감은 곰취 분말 첨가량이 증가될수록 경도, 응집성, 씹힘성 및 부착성은 높아졌으며, 탄력성은 증가하였다. 만두피의 관능검사 결과, 표면의 매끄러운 정도는 대조군이 가장 높은 점수를 나타냈으며, 고소한 맛은 곰취 분말 첨가량이 많아질수록 증가되었다. 전체적인 기호도는 곰취 분말 3% 첨가군이 가장 높은 것으로 평가되었다. 이상의 결과를 종합하여 보면 곰취 분말 첨가는 전체적인 관능평가에 긍정적인 영향을 미치며, 특히 곰취 분말 3% 첨가가 만두피의 기호도를 높일 수 있는 가장 적절한 수준으로 생각된다.
