The principal objective of this study was to evaluate the quality characteristics of jelly prepared with five different levels(0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0%) of black garlic concentrate(BG1-BG4). We conducted the pH, sugar content, Hunter's color value, mechanical characteristics, and a sensory evaluation analysis of black garlic jelly. The more black garlic concentrate increased, the more the sugar content of the black garlic jelly increased(p<0.05). In terms of color, lightness(L) and yellowness(b) decreased as the black garlic concentrate increased, while redness(a) increased. With regard to the mechanical properties of the black garlic jelly samples, the higher the score of hardness, gumminess, and chewiness significantly increased(p<0.05). In color, flavor, texture and overall quality, the score of jelly with 1.0% black garlic concentrate(BG2) increased most of the all.
