The objective of this study was to asses the quality characteristics of yanggaeng prepared with different ratios of chestnut powder: 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20%. The moisture content of the control yanggaeng was higher than that of any other chestnut powder added groups. In terms of color, The lightness (L) and yellowness (b) decreased significantly, but redness (a) increased with increasing contents of chestnut powder. The total polyphenol content and DPPH free radical scavenging activities increased as the amount of chestnut powder. Texture profile analysis showed that the hardness, adhesiveness, cohesiveness, and chewiness were higher than the control group. The result of sensory evaluation test and the overall acceptability showed that the taste, color, flavor, chewiness, softness and overall acceptability were the highest in the 10~15% added group while the color and softness were identified no significant different group. Based on these results, it is suggested that yanggaeng with up 10~15% added chestnut powder can be developed as products.
