This study investigated the utilization of apricot as a coagulants for tofu manufacture, and compared the quality characteristics and shelf-life of tofu made by A2(2% apricot juice), A4(4% apricot juice), A6(6% apricot juice), A8(8% apricot juice) in comparison with those of C(G.DL). A2 tofu(323.00 g) showed the highest yield of tofu and the tofu yield decreased with increasing apricot juice content. In color, the lightness of tofu was decreased with increasing apricot juice content, while redness and yellowness were increased. The hardness of tofu coagulated with apricot juice was higher than that of the coagulated C(G.DL) and the springiness of A6 and A8 was higher than that of C(G.DL) while that of the other tofus was lower than C(G.DL). The brittleness of tofu was increased with increasing apricot juice content. The pH value of tofu coagulated with apricot juice was increased during storage at $0^{\circ}C$ and the acidity was decreased. Two percent apricot juice tofu had good overall preference.

This study investigated the quality characteristics of Haengbyung using dry rice flour added with various amounts (0, 20, 40, 60%) of raw and steamed apricot juice. The moisture contents, color values, pH, texture and sensory evaluation(attribute difference and acceptance) for the samples were tested. The moisture content (p<0.001) and pH(p<0.001) of the Haengbyung significantly decreased with the increase of apricot juice. As for the color of the Haengbyung samples, the higher percentage of the apricot juice showed the lower L-value (p<0.001), and higher a-value(p<0.001) and b-value(p<0.001). Texture profile analysis of Haengbyung samples showed that hardness(p<0.001) and gumminess(p<0.001) increased, while adhesiveness(p<0.001) and cohesiveness(p<0.05) decreased with increasing amounts of apricot juice. An attribute difference test of Haengbyung samples showed that appearance(apricot color(p<0.001) and dryness(p<0.001)), flavor(sour(p<0.001), acerbic (p<0.001), and green fruit(p<0.001)), and taste(sour(p<0.001), acerbic(p<0.001), and astringent(p<0.05) as increased as apricot juice amounts increased. The control and Haengbyung sample with 20% of apricot juice (both raw and steamed) showed the highest acceptance in taste, texture, and overall acceptability in consumer ranking testing.

The quality characteristics were measured, using sensory evaluation and mechanical characteristics, for the addition of different percentages of apricot juice(0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%) to rice flour, in order to promote the use of and liking for the traditional Korean rice cakes. The pH was decreased with apricot juice addition, while acid was increased. The moisture contents were 36.2${\sim}$45.0% . The L-value was decreased with increasing apricot juice addition, while a- and b-values were increased. In mechanical texture characteristics, hardness, gumminess and brittleness were the highest at the 10% apricot juice level(p<.001). Springiness was also the highest at 10% level but the difference was not significant. In the sensory evaluation, the color, flavor, sourness, hardness and chewiness were increased with apricot juice addition. Apricot sulgidduk made with the addition of 10% apricot juice to rice flour was found to be the best recipe in terms of acceptability, flavor quality, taste quality, and overall quality and there was a significant difference between the samples. The springiness was negatively correlated with the cohesiveness, springiness, gumminess and brittleness while moistness was positively correlated with moisture, hardness, cohesiveness, springiness, gumminess and brittleness.

The effects of the addition of apricot juice on Haengbyung qualities were evaluated. The reducing sugar contents, degree of gelatinization, moisture contents, color L value and b value of Haengbyung were decreased but the color a value and hardness were increased during the storage. The reducing sugar contents and gelatinization of Haengbyung with the raw apricot juice was decreased less than those with the steamed apricot juice during the storage. the moisture contents of Haengbyung were decreased less than Baeksulgi. Color b value of Haengbyung with the raw apricot juice was decreased less than that with the steamed apricot juice. The consistence, moistness, texture and overall quality of Haengbyung were generally more favorable than Baeksulgi based upon the sensory evaluation during the storage. Throughout the storage, consistence, moistness and texture of Haengbyung with the rqw apricot juice were generally more favorable than those with the steamed apricot juice. With respect to overall quality, Haengbyung with the addition of 15% apricot juice of rice flour weight was generally the most favorable during the storage.
