This study investigated the quality characteristics and antioxidant properties of muffins containing mulberry (Morus alba L.) powder. Muffins were prepared by adding mulberry powder at 0 (the control), 5, 10, 20, or 40% to the flour in the basic formulation. As the amount of mulberry powder added increased calcium and magnesium levels. Lightness (L*) and redness (a*) decreased on increasing the amount of mulberry powder added, and muffin darkness was greatest at 40% of mulberry powder loading. Redness was lowest for the control and increased significantly upon adding mulberry powder. Total phenols and total flavonoid contents of mulberry powder were 30.28∼208.31 GAE mg/g and 57.42∼393.17 mg CA/g, respectively and its ABTS and DPPH radical scavenging activities were 5.44∼63.32 and 3.31∼67.51 TEAC μmol/g, respectively. These results show that mulberry powder could be used as a functional food supplement.
