Observations of neutrino oscillations are very strong evidence for the existence of neutrino masses and mixing. From recent experimental results on neutrino oscillation, we find that neutrino mixing angles are quite consistent with the so-called tri-bi-maximal mixing pattern, but the deviation from observational results is non-negligible. However, the tri-bi-maximal mixing pattern is still useful as a leading order approximation and provides a good guideline to search for the flavor symmetry in the neutrino sector. We introduce the $S_4$ permutation symmetry as a flavor symmetry to the standard model of particle physics with additional particle contents of heavy right-handed neutrinos and scalar fields. Finally, we obtain the tri-bi-maximal mixing pattern as a mixing matrix in the lepton sector within the suggested model. To derive the required unitary mixing matrix for the neutrino sector, the double seesaw mechanism is utilized.

This study sought to develop a healthier type of jeungpyeon, or Korean rice cake, by adding Korean black raspberry powder (Rubus coreanus). The moisture content, color, volume, symmetry, uniformity, texture, and sensory quality characteristics were evaluated in order to determine the optimal amount of raspberry powder to add to rice flour in order to get the best-tasting, healthiest food. We substituted 0.5%, 1.0%, 1.5% and 2.0% of rice flour with Rubus coreanus powder and mixed 3%, 6%, 9% and 12% Rubus coreanus concentrate with water to make dough. The result was stored for up to 48 hours at $20^{\circ}C$, and then evaluated. Jeungpyun with Rubus coreanus powder and Rubus coreanus concentrate had the right flavor, color, fermentation, and taste, compared to the other groups. Consequently, in overall acceptability, the highly rated Rubus coreanus powder-PW(1.5%) and Rubus coreanus concentrate - BA (6%) will be the most desirable.

When making a yellow layer cake, an existing chemical leavening agent, sourdough starter powder, was used instead of using baking powder in order to produce batter where the acid agent in the baking powder was reduced using baking soda. The control group had the lowest share of the batter and therefore had the highest specific volume. In a test group, the share of SP4 was low and therefore, the specific volume was high. In terms of physiochemical characteristics, the volume, symmetry and uniform index was high in SP4 in the test group. The control group had the highest moisture content followed by SP4. In terms of texture, the control group had the lowest hardness and highest springiness. In the test group, SP4 had the lowest hardness and highest springiness. The result of the sensory evaluation indicates that SP4 had the best taste and flavor. In terms of overall preference, SP4 showed significantly higher preference overall. However, it did not show any significant difference compared to the control group.

The replacement of wheat flour with 4 to 24% soy fiber FIBRIM(R)1450 was evaluated to determine its effect on the properties of sponge cake. The volume and specific loaf volume decreased as the amount of soy fiber increased. In addition, the protein content and water holding capacity (WHC) were negatively correlated with the specific gravity of batter and the specific loaf volume of sponge cake, whereas there was no correlation between the mixograph characteristics and specific loaf volume of sponge cake in response to the addition of soy fiber. Furthermore, the symmetry and uniformity indices were not influenced by the addition of soy fiber. However, the L values of sponge cake crust and crumb decreased with increasing amounts of soy fiber, whereas a and b values were not affected. Additionally, the hardness, gumminess, and chewiness of the sponge cake all showed positive correlations with the protein content, sedimentation value, WHC and alkaline water retention capacity. Finally, the results of sensory evaluation indicated that external and internal colors, grain, texture, and flavor were not influenced by the addition of soy fiber, but that supplementation with over 20% soy fiber resulted in a slight decrease in taste and overall acceptability.

This study was conducted to evaluate the quality characteristics and antioxidant activities of rice flour sponge cakes containing 0, 20, 30, 40, and 50% Helianthus tuberosus powder (HTP). As HTP content of sponge cake increased, the pH of sponge cake batter significantly decreased, whereas specific gravity significantly increased (p<0.05). Meanwhile, volume and symmetry indices of sponge cake were inversely proportional to HTP amount. Further, with higher HTP content in sponge cake, L and b values of crumbs significantly decreased (p<0.05), whereas a value significantly increased (p<0.05). L, a, and b values of crust significantly increased with higher HTP content. For texture characteristics, hardness, cohesiveness, gumminess, and chewiness of sponge cake significantly increased (p<0.05),whereas cohesiveness did not significantly change. In the sensory evaluation test, rice sponge cake prepared with 10% HTP showed the highest sensory scores in terms of color, flavor, taste, softness properties, and overall preference. The levels of total polyphenol compounds and DPPH radical scavenging activities of rice sponge cakes significantly increased with higher HTP contents (p<0.05). The results of this study suggest that rice sponge cake containing 10% HTP is the most appropriate for quality characteristics and sensory evaluation. This study also provides a way to increase the quality, texture characteristics, and organoleptic properties of sponge cake while reducing HTP content to less than 10% in order to satisfy consumer tastes.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the quality characteristics, antioxidant activities and sensory properties of sponge cake with cabbage powder (CP). Physicochemical and sensory properties of sponge cake with different amount (0%, 5%, 10%, and 15%) of CP were examined. As the increase in the amount of CP addition, the specific gravity and baking loss rate were increased, whereas the color of the cake crumb and crust, volume index and specific volume were decreased (p<0.05). The symmetry and uniformity index of the sponge cake were not affected by the addition of CP (5-15%) (p<0.05). The hardness was significantly increased while by CP addition cohesiveness was decreased (p<0.05). The springiness, gumminess and brittleness were not changed by CP addition (p<0.05). The total polyphenolic, DPPH radical scavenging activities and reducing power were significantly increased by addition of CP at high concentrations (p<0.05). In the sensory evaluation, addition of CP significantly degraded the panel preference related to the color, flavor and texture of the sponge cake. However, the highest point were given to sponge cakes containg 5-10% of CP in taste and overall acceptance (p<0.05). These data suggested that adding 5% of CP is the optimal concentration overall for making sponge cake. However, the sponge cake with 10% of CP is recommended in order to maximize antioxidant activity, the sponge cake was the best when contained 5% CP and the sponge cake prepared with the addition of 10% CP was recommended to use due to its advantages in functional property.

The baking performance of Cudrania tricuspidata leaf powder as a value-added food ingredient was investigated in a model system of sponge cakes. Cudrania tricuspidata leaf powder was incorporated into cake batter at 5 levels (0, 5, 10, 15, and 20%, w/w) by adding equivalent amount based on total weight of wheat flour. The specific volume, height, moisture content, volume index, and symmetry index of sponge cakes decreased significantly with the increase in Cudrania tricuspidata leaf powder content (p < 0.05). Sponge cakes became darker and firmer with increase in Cudrania tricuspidata leaf powder content (p < 0.05), as indicated by decrease in the $L^*$ and increase in the firmness measured by the texture measuring instrument. Total polyphenol content also increased gradually as the Cudrania tricuspidata leaf powder content increased. Finally, the consumer acceptance test indicated that addition of Cudrania tricuspidata leaf powder up to 10% in the formulation of sponge cakes did not significantly influence the consumers' acceptability with respect to taste and flavor. In addition, the overall acceptability was not different from each other for control and 5% sample (p > 0.05).
