본 논문은 홍국의 첨가량을 2%, 4%, 6%, 8%, 10% 첨가한 머핀을 만들어 일반성분, 색도, pH, 중량 및 굽기 손실률, 부피 및 비용적, 상부 단면 직경 및 높이, 기계적 조직감, DPPH radical 소거능, ABTS radical 소거능, 총 페놀 함량, Monacolin-K 함량, 관능적 특성 등을 실험하였다. 색의 명도 값과 황색도 값은 대조군이 첨가군보다 낮은 값을 나타냈고, 적색도 값은 첨가군 에서 높은 값을 나타냈다. 홍국 머핀에서 pH는 홍국의 첨가량이 늘어날수록 낮아지는 pH값을 나타냈고, 굽기 손실률에서는 홍국 첨가량이 증가 할수록 조금씩 낮아지는 값을 나타냈다. 기계적 조직감은 홍국 첨가량에 따라 경도는 10%에서 부드럽게 나왔고, 부착력, 응집성, 점성 (Gumminess), 씹힘성에서는 2%의 값이 높게, 탄력성은 8%에서 높게 나타내었다. DPPH radical 소거능과 ABTS radical 소거능은 홍국 첨가량이 증가할수록 값이 높아지는 값을 나타내었고, 총 페놀(Total phenol content)함량은 홍국첨가량이 증가 할 수록 값이 높아지는 경향을 나타내었다. Monacolin-K 함량은 홍국 첨가량이 가장 많은 10%에서 가장 높은 값을 나타내었고, 관능검사는 맛, 감촉, 전반적인 기호도가 4%에서 좋게 평가되었고, 향미와 색에서 좋게 평가되었다. 이상의 결과에 의하면 홍국 첨가가 제과 제빵 재료로 이용 가능할 뿐만 아니라 항암, 혈압강하, cholesterol 억제 등에 영향을 미치기에 4% 홍국 첨가군이 일반머핀보다 관능적으로 좋게 평가되었기에 기능성을 가진 머핀제조가 가능할 것으로 사료된다.

The purpose of this study was to bake sweet rice muffins with oak mushroom (Lentinus edodes) powder. The process included substituting sweet rice flour for cake flour and adding oak mushroom powder. This study determined the optimal mixing conditions of oak mushroom muffins by adjusting the amounts of oak mushroom powder, whole eggs, and soybean oil. The mixing conditions for the oak mushroom muffins included 3 categories: oak mushroom powder (X1), whole eggs (X2), and soybean oil (X3) by Central Composite Design (CCD) which was optimized by Response Surface Methodology (RSM). Oak mushroom muffin formulation was optimized using rheology. Yellowness (p〈0.001) and redness (p〈0.05) displayed a linear model pattern, whereas lightness (p〈0.05) was represented by a quadratic model. Among the sensory properties, variables that appeared to show significant values such as appearance (p〈0.5), texture (p〈0.5), and overall quality (p〈0.5) were used to identify optimums. The result of mechanical properties showed significant values in gumminess (p〈0.5) and chewiness (p〈0.5). The numerical and graphical methods used in this study determined that the optimum formulation for oak mushroom powder sweet rice muffins was 8.75 g of oak mushroom powder, 235.95 g of whole eggs, and 19.93 g of soybean oil.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the quality properties of muffin added with different concentration (0, 1, 3, and 5%) of rice bran. The results indicated no significant difference in the weight of muffins with different concentration of rice bran. The moisture content of the muffin decreased with longer storage time. The moisture content of the muffin to which 0, 3, 5, and 10% rice bran were 26.62, 29.07, 30.72, and 27.53%, respectively. The muffins' hardness was higher on storage day 1 than on the initial storage day. As for adhesiveness, there was no significant difference between storage time and rice bran concentration. The springiness decreased with increasing storage time. The sensory score showed that the muffin without rice bran had a higher color and flavor than the others while the muffins with rice bran had higher taste, moistness, chewiness, and overall acceptability scores than control(0%).
