The potential health benefits attributed to mulberry leaf and its bioactive compounds have led to a huge increase of mulberry leaf products in the food market. The objective of this research was to determine total antioxidant activities ( FRAP and DPPH assays) and polyphenol compounds in 4 snack products i.e. loaf-bread puifai (Thai steamed cupcakes) peakpoon (Green coconut sweet pudding) and snow skin mooncake fortified with 10% mulberry leaf powder from “ Buri Rum 60” cultivar. The result showed that antioxidant activities and polyphenol contents increased in 4 products fortified with mulberry leaf powder. Ferulic acid was the only phenolic compound found in all original products. Kaempferol quercetin and caffeic acid were significantly increased whereas ferulic acid was reduced in the modified formulas. Therefore these bioactive compounds properties of mulberry leaf powder suggested their possible use for fortifying the healthy foods.

The potential health benefits attributed to mulberry leaf tea and its bioactive compounds such as antioxidant effects cancer chemoprevention and lower blood sugar levels have led to a huge increase of mulberry leaf tea products in the food market. The objectives of this research were to determine the appropriate amount of mulberry leaf tea powder Buri Rum 60 added in 4 snack products which were cook by 4 different process i.e. bread (baked) puifai (steam) peakpoon (stir) and snow lotus (no heat treatment). The Mulberry leaf tea powder was used in the ingredients for 3 levels i.e. 5 10 and 15%. Then the most preferred formula was analyzed for the nutritional values. The result showed that all 4 snacks added with Mulberry leaf tea powder at level of 10% were accepted the most. The nutritive value of these 4 snacks indicated that the moisture contents decreased while protein fiber ash energy increased significantly (p≤0.05). In comparison to the original formulas fat decreased significantly in bread and snow lotus added with mulberry leaf tea powder (p≤0.05) and decreased non-significantly in puifai and peakpoon added with Mulberry leaf tea powder (p>0.05). Carbohydrate increased significantly in bread and peakpoon added with mulberry leaf tea powder (p≤0.05) and increased non-significantly in puifai and snow lotus added with Mulberry leaf tea powder (p>0.05).
