Abstract

This study was performed to investigate the quality characteristics of yanggaeng prepared with different ratios of Astragalus membranaceus powder : 2%, 4%, and 6%. Proximate composition, Hunter's color values, texture profile analysis, and sensory qualities were examined. The lightness of the yanggaeng decreased with increasing Astragalus membranaceus powder content. For the texture profile analysis, hardness increased with increasing Astragalus membranaceus powder content. In terms of sensory qualities, the 2% Astragalus membranaceus powder sample did not influence any of the sensory attributes of the yanggaeng.
