The effects of adding varying amounts (0%, 1.5%, 3%, 6%, and 12%) of the medium roasted coffee powder on the quality characteristics of rice cookies, which were prepared without wheat flour, were studied. The ingredients were mixed, cut, baked at 170~180°C for 10 min, cooled, and packaged in plastic bags. Lightness (L*), yellowness (b*), chroma (C*), and hue angle (ho) of cookies decreased as the addition amount of the coffee powder increased. Redness (a*) increased with the amount of the coffee powder. Firmness and phenolic compounds tended to increase with the increase in coffee content, however, the firmness levels of the cookies containing 1.5~3% coffee powder were insignificantly different. Antioxidant activity of cookies increased with the increase in the amount of coffee powder. Antioxidant activity of the cookies added with 3% coffee powder was significantly higher than that of the cookies added with 1.5% coffee powder. As a results of the sensory evaluation, the intensity of darkness, smell, bitterness, hardness of the cookies tended to increase with the increase in the amount of coffee powder. The overall acceptability of the cookies was significantly higher for the cookies containing 1.5~3% coffee powder than for the other samples. These results suggested that coffee powder (approximately 3%) can be utilized as an additive for preparing rice cookies which have simultaneously high antioxidant activity and acceptability.
