We investigated the quality characteristics and antioxidant activities of yogurt supplemented with 1%, 2%, and 3% aronia juice and fermented for 24 h at $37^{\circ}C$. The total acidity increased with increasing levels of aronia juice and incubation time. Lightness and yellowness of the yogurt decreased, but redness increased, with increasing aronia juice content and incubation time. The number of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) increased with increased incubation time, and yogurt containing 2% and 3% aronia juice showed higher LAB counts than 1% aroinia juice-supplemented yogurt. The total polyphenol and flavonoid contents increased proportionally with increasing levels of aronia juice. Antioxidant activity of aronia-containing yogurt was significantly higher than that of the control and increased proportionally with aronia juice concentration. Yogurt with 2% aronia juice had the best taste (P<0.05). Aronia juice may be a useful additive for improving the taste and antioxidant potential of yogurt.

This study investigated the antioxidant activities of wine made with aronia (Aronia melanocarpa). The ethanol concentration of the aronia wine was increased up to 7.8±0.1% on the 8th day of fermentation. Compared to other types of wine, the total amount of organic acids was highest in raspberry wine, followed by grape wine, arona wine, and aronia juice. Because, acetic, oxalic, and succinic acids were not detected in the aronia juice, but were detected in the aronia wine, it was determined that they were produced during alcohol fermentation. The polyphenol content in the aronia juice and wine was higher than in the grape wine and raspberry wine and was twice as much in the aroni wine than in the aronia juice. The flavonoid content in aronia juice and wine was higher than in commercial grape wine and raspberry wine. The DPPH radical scavenging ability was higher than 50% in the aronia wine and juice samples. ABTS radical scavenging activity was higher in aronia juice and wine than in raspberry wine and grape wine. The results of this study suggest that the development of wine with high antioxidant activity is possible if wine is made with aronia.

This study was conducted to investigate the quality characteristics and antioxidant activities of jelly prepared with different amounts of aronia juice. Aronia juice was incorporated into jelly at concentrations of 3, 6, and 9%, based on the total weight of water. While the total water content of the jelly in different groups was not significantly different, the sugar content significantly increased with increasing levels of aronia juice. In the chromaticity measurements, $L^*$ and $b^*$ values decreased, whereas the $a^*$ values increased with increasing levels of aronia juice in the jelly. Further, the hardness and chewiness of jelly increased with increasing amounts of aronia juice. On the other hand, resilience, cohesiveness, and gumminess of the jelly were nearly similar for the control and samples treated with aronia juice. The total polyphenols, flavonoids, and anthocyanin contents increased proportionally with increasing levels of aronia juice. In addition, the antioxidant activity measured in terms of the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) diammonium salt (ABTS) radical scavenging activities of the jelly extracts were significantly higher for the samples containing aronia juice compared to the control and increased proportionally with increasing concentrations of aronia juice. In the sensory evaluation, the sample containing 6% aronia juice was perceived to have the best color, taste, texture, chewiness, flavor, and overall acceptance. These results suggest that aronia juice may be a useful ingredient in jelly for improving its quality as well as sensory and antioxidant potential.

The objective of this study is to investigate the quality characteristics and antioxidant activities of yanggaeng prepared with different amounts of aronia juice. Aronia juice was incorporated into yanggaeng at different levels (containing 50, 100, and 150 g of aronia juice in AJ 50, AJ 100, and AJ 150, respectively) based on the total weight of water. Total acidity and sugar contents showed a significant increase, however, pH showed a decrease with increasing levels of aronia juice. Hardness also showed an increase with increasing levels of aronia juice. Regarding texture profile analysis, hardness, springiness, and chewiness of yanggaeng were increased, however, cohesiveness was similar compared to the control and aronia juice added treatments. In chromaticity determination, L and b values showed a decrease, however, a value increased with increasing levels of aronia juice. The total polyphenols, flavonoids, and anthocyanin contents were increased proportionally with increasing levels of aronia juice. Antioxidant activity measured by DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activities were significantly higher than those of control and increased proportionally according to the concentration of aronia juice. The sensory evaluation indicated that AJ 100 showed the best preference in color, taste, texture, flavor, and overall acceptance. These results suggest that aronia juice may be a useful ingredient in yanggaeng for improvement of quality and antioxidant potential.

This study sought to determine the physicochemical and sensory qualities of yogurt dressing prepared with different levels Aronia juice(0, 10, 20, 30, and 40%). As the amount of added Aronia juice increased, malic acid, acetic acid, and citric acid contents increased, although tartaric acid and lactic acid contents decreased. The viscosity of the control group(4,296.67 cP) was higher than those of the other groups(1,466.67~3,496.67 cP). The pH of the yogurt dressing containing 10% Aronia juice(3.83) was higher than those of the other groups(3.59~3.74). The sweetness of the yogurt dressing containing 10% Aronia juice($5.17^{\circ}Brix$) was higher than the other groups($2.47{\sim}3.47^{\circ}Brix$). Lightness decreased significantly, whereas a value and b value increased significantly with added levels of Aronia juice. DPPH radical scavenging activity of the control group was 7.42%, whereas those of the yogurt dressing samples with Aronia juice ranged from 26.30-69.86%. The sensory property results showed that the 20% Aronia juice added yogurt dressing group had the highest value in terms of color, thickness, taste, mouth feel, and overall acceptability. Overall, the results of this study indicates that the yogurt dressing containing 20% Aronia juice was the most preferred among the groups.

This study is to establish optimizing condition of alcohol fermentation in vinegar production with aronia, to confirm whether this can be industrially used, and to compare and analyze a change in anti-oxidative activity and quality characteristic according to alcohol fermentation of aronia. The optimized conditions for alcohol fermentation were as follows: Saccharomyces cerevisiae 5645 of yeast strain, a 5% inoculum size, aronia juice with a brix value of 14, and a glucose content of 7%. As a result to conduct scale up with optimizing conditions of alcohol fermentation of aronia, 8 days (192 hrs) of total alcohol fermentation time and 7.4% of the final alcohol content. The harvest volume accounted for approximately 90.2% with a loss of about 2.8%. As a result of antioxidant test, anti-oxidative activity of alcohol fermented liquor is lower than anti-oxidative activity of aronia extract, because of the decrease of antioxidant by oxidation of the fermentation process. However, the decrease of tannin by the fermentation process reduces acerbity of aronia, so increases overall preference

This study investigated the effects of different amounts of aronia juice (0, 4, 8, 12, 16, and 20%) on astringency perception and quality characteristics of cup jelly. With increasing aronia juice content, soluble solid content, redness, yellowness, total acidity, antioxidant components, and antioxidant activities increased, whereas lightness, pH, and gel strength decreased. Regarding sensory evaluation, with 12% or more added aronia juice, purpleness and sourness increased, whereas hardness and cohesiveness decreased in the jelly samples. Cup jelly with 16% aronia juice content had the highest overall acceptability score. These results indicate that aronia can be used as a good source of anthocyanins when developing functional jelly products.

This study investigates the quality characteristics of sweet persimmon jam added with aronia juice. Sweet persimmon jam was prepared with sweet persimmon, sugar, pectin and various amounts (20, 40, 60, 80%) of aronia juice, and it was assessed for pH, total acidity, color, sensory evaluation and hydrogen donating ability on 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), 2,2'-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) (ABTS) radical scavenging effects and content of the total polyphenols, respectively. Increasing the amount of aronia juice decreased the pH, whereas the total acidity gradually increased. In addition, with an increased amount of aronia juice, the lightness (L) and yellowness (b) significantly decreased, while redness (a) gradually increased. By increasing the amount of aronia juice, the polyphenol contents, DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activities were increased. The results of the sensory evaluation showed that the sweet persimmon jam added with 80% aronia juice had the highest overall-acceptability scores. The results suggest enhancing the quality, palatability and acceptability of sweet persimmon jam by adding 60~80% of aronia juice.

This study investigated the quality characteristics of jujube wines produced from various fruits (Campbell Early, aronia, apply). Before the preparation of jujube wine, jujube juice was extracted using hot water ($100^{\circ}C$, 2 hr). Different blends of jujube wines were produced by blending jujube juice with various fruits using Saccharomyces cerevisiae. After 18 days of fermentation, the alcohol content of jujube wines ranged between 11.5~12.7%. The pH of the wine ranged from 3.31 to 3.53 and the total acid content from 0.47 to 0.68%. The hue value of jujube wines ranged from 0.88 to 2.21 and the color intensity ranged from 0.93 to 6.29. The brightness of jujube wines ranged from 32.35 to 92.47, the redness from 0.85 to 59.05, and the yellowness from 17.35 to 51.02. By combining aronia with jujube juice, a significant increase in the total polyphenol content and the antioxidant activity (the DPPH radical scavenging activity) of the wine was observed. The total polyphenol content (401.77 mg%) and the antioxidant activity (76.29%) were the highest in the jujube wine blended with aronia. The total anthocyanin content of jujube wines ranged from 81.66 to 135.98 mg% and the tannic acid content from 42.48 to 316.36 mg%. Based on the results of the present study, we suggest that jujube wine produced by blending jujube juice with aronia had excellent quality as well as quality characteristics of the wine.
