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.
