Abstract
The objective of this study was to evaluate Toranbyung, according as the ingredients of Toranbyung were changed in various phases : firstly, mixing of taro with either rice flour or glutinous rice flour, and secondly, the amount of taro to be mixed with either rice flour or glutinous rice flour, The results were as follows; According to the sensory evaluation, Toranbyung made from glutinous rice flour and 4% taro ingredients met with the most favorable responses except flavor. In the case of Toranbyung made from rice flour, those made with 50% taro ingredients were most favored in taste, flavor, moisture, color, consistency and texture, With respect to the rheological properties of Toranbyung hardness, gumminess and springiness of Toraangyung made from glutinous rice flour were better. As the amount of taro increased, Toranbyung made from glutinous rice flour decreased in springiness, hardness, gumminess, and chewiness. As a result, Toranbyung made from glutinous rice flour and 40% taro ingredients and Toranbyung made from rice flour and 50% taro ingredients received the most favorable sensory evaluation.
