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.

The principal objective of this study was to examine the quality characteristics of yanggaeng supplemented with powder derived from Sanghwang mushroom (Phellinus linteus) mycelia. We analyzed the potential of utilizing Phellinus linteus mycelia as a functional food material by estimating total polyphenol and flavonoid contents, electron-donating abilities, as well as antioxidative activities of the water and ethanol extracts of Sanghwang mushroom mycelia. The total phenol and flavonoid contents of ethanol extracts from Phellinus linteus mycelia were 0.69 mg/ml and 0.16 mg/ml, respectively, while the contents from the water extract of Phellinus linteus mycelia were 0.66 mg/ml and 0.22 mg/ml, respectively. The electron-donating abilities of ethanol and water extracts from Phellinus linteus mycelia were 88.64 and 90.29%, respectively. The ABTS radical scavenging activities of ethanol and water extracts from Phellinus linteus mycelia were 89.74 and 71.35%, respectively. In terms of color values, as the level of powder increased, the value of L (lightness) decreased, whereas those of a (redness) and b (yellowness) increased. In regard to the mechanical properties of the samples, we noted significant differences in hardness, springiness, chewiness, and gumminess (P<0.05). The results of the sensory evaluation showed that the score from SHM (Sanghwang mushroom mycelia) with 4% powder was significantly higher than other samples in terms of sweetness, color, taste, texture and overall quality (P<0.05). Taken together, the recommended level of Phellinus linteus mycelia powder in yanggaeng is 4% for optimal sensory characteristics.

The feasibility of incorporating black sesame powder (BSP) as a value-added food ingredient in convenient food products, using a model system of yanggaeng, was investigated. BSP was incorporated into yanggaeng at 0, 3, 6, 9, and 12% (w/w) weight amounts based on the total weight of cooked white bean and BSP. pH increased significantly with increasing levels of BSP added (p<0.05). In terms of color, lightness and yellowness decreased significantly but redness increased (p<0.05) with increasing levels of BSP. Hardness also increased significantly with higher amounts of BSP in the formulation (p<0.05). Total polyphenol content and 1,1-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity significantly increased as the BSP concentration increased in the formulation (p<0.05). Finally, the consumer acceptance test indicated that the highest levels of BSP incorporation (12%, w/w) had a considerable adverse effect on consumer preferences in all attributes. In contrast, yanggaengs with moderate levels of BSP (6%, w/w) are recommended (based on overall preference score) for taking advantage of the functional properties of BSP without sacrificing consumer acceptability.

In this study, the possibility of developing new type of yanggaeng has been reviewed by evaluating physio-chemical and sensual characteristics of new yanggaeng products using 5~20% of powder of plantain that is a hardy plant resource from most of hillside in Korea. The moisture contents of plantain powder was 1.9%, DPPH radical scavenging ability was 15.67 mg/mL, and total polyphenol contents was 7.00mg/g. By increasing the adding rate of plantain powder the moisture contents and pH of yanggaeng were decreased. From chromatography, by increasing the adding rate of plantain powder the brightness, L-value was decreased along with redness, a-value, yellowness, and b-value. The a-value of sample group adding 5% of plantain powder was the highest and that of sample group adding 20% was the lowest (p<0.001). From texture measurement shown that the hardness of sample group adding 5% of plantain powder was the highest by 3,937.04 and that of sample group adding 20% of plantain powder was the lowest by 2,153.59. The springiness of sample group adding 5% of plantain powder was the highest by 6.79% and that of sample group adding 20% of plantain powder was the lowest by 4.76%. The cohesiveness of sample group adding 20% of plantain powder was the lowest by 177.35 and it was significant (p<0.001). The result of sensory test showed that sample group adding 10% of plantain powder achieved the highest appraisal from most factors, such as color, scent. sweetness, chewiness, moist level, softness level and total preference. As shown from the above results, the sensory preference of yanggaeng can be improved by adding proper volume of plantain powder while making it, so it is understood that the addition of plantain powder in making yanggaeng would give better possibility in commercialization. By considering sensory preference factor the 10% addition rate of plantain powder while making yanggaeng would be the most proper recipe.

In order to examine the pre-industrial application product quality characteristics of yanggang (a type of traditional Korean confectionery) with varying levels of Palatinose, this study conducted multiple preliminary experiments. By applying different amounts of Palatinose (1%, 2%, 3%, 4%) and adhering to a recipe suitable for commercial products, the yanggang was produced under controlled manufacturing conditions. While the moisture content of the manufactured yanggang adhered to the established manufacturing standard, showing minimal variations, there were statistically significant differences observed with an increase in the Palatinose proportion, exhibiting a trend akin to findings from other yanggang studies. Similarly, there were slight but statistically significant differences observed in soluble solids content and pH, though these differences were not found to have a significant impact. The addition of Palatinose did not induce changes in the elasticity (springiness) and firmness (gumminess) of the yanggang, nor in its chewiness, as the Palatinose content increased. Despite a reduction in calorie content, the addition of Palatinose did not influence the appearance and taste of the yanggang.

Feasibility of incorporation of licorice powder (LP) as a value-added food ingredient into convenient food products was investigated using yanggaeng as a model system. LP was incorporated into yanggaeng at amounts of 0, 2, 4, 6, and 8% (w/w) based on total weight of cooked white beans and LP. pH level decreased while soluble solid content significantly increased with increasing levels of LP (P<0.05). In terms of color, lightness decreased while redness and yellowness increased significantly (P<0.05) with increasing levels of LP. Hardness also decreased significantly with a higher amount of LP in the formulation (P<0.05). 2,2'-Azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) and 2,2'-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging activities were significantly elevated by LP addition, and they increased significantly as LP concentration increased in the formulation (P<0.05). Finally, consumer acceptance test indicated that the highest levels of LP incorporation (8%) had an adverse effect on general consumer preferences. In contrast, yanggaeng with moderate levels of LP (2%) is recommended based on its overall scores to take advantage of the antioxidant properties of LP without sacrificing consumer acceptability.
