To evaluate the effect of arrowroot(Puerariae Radix) powder on dasik, rice dasik was prepared after supplementation with different ratios (0% 3% 6% 9% and 12% respectively, w/w) of the arrowroot powder. No significant difference in the moisture content was observed among the groups. The pH value was reduced when the arrowroot powder was added. The lightness(L-value) and the yellowness(b-value) of the control group was higher than that of dasik with the arrowroot powder, whereas the redness(a-value) of the control group was lower than that of dasik with the arrowroot powder. In the mechanical evaluation, the hardness of the control group was higher than that of dasik with the arrowroot powder. However, no significant difference in cohesiveness, adhesiveness, gumminess and chewiness was observed. The intensity of the color and flavor of dasik with the arrowroot powder was higher than that of the control group. Dasik with the arrowroot powder was significantly higher in taste and overall acceptability than the control group. In conclusion, 6%(w/w) of the arrowroot powder might be appropriate for arrowroot dasik.
