The chromaticity, mechanical, and sensory properties of madeleine were investigated during its manufacturing process based on additions of black bean chungkukjang flour containing functional health ingredients and a high nutritient value. 1. The moisture content decreased with increasing content of the chungkukjang flour$(16.1{\sim}13.7%)$. 2. The brightness of the Madeleine decreased significantly from 75.24 to 53.61 by increasing the content of the black bean chungkukjang flour. The degree of red color increased significantly from -0.31 to 4.93 by increasing the content of the black bean chung kukjang flour. 3. For the mechanical properties, the hardness increased significantly with increasing amounts of the black bean chungkukjang flour (p<0.05). The degree of fracturability, adhesiveness, and gumminess also increased with the increasing the content, but the fracturability showed no difference by either addition. The springiness and cohesiveness decreased significantly by increasing the content of the black bean chungkukjang flour, showing an opposite result compared to the hardness. 4. The results of the sensory evaluation indicated significant differences in color among the samples(p<0.05). The color of the madeleine samples with added black bean chungkukjang flour was more preferred than that of the sample without any additive. The degree of preference increased in the order of the quantity of the additive. The moistness and softness became significantly drier and less soft, respectively, with an increasing quantity of the black bean chungkukjang flour (p<0.05). For the overall acceptance, the BC10 sample added with 10% of black bean chungkukjang flour added had the highest acceptance. This may be because it did not have a strong chungkukjang odor and had the fewest differences from the control Madeleine without the additive, in terms of its moistness and softness. Based upon these results, adding10 % of black bean chungkukjang flour in the manufacture of Madeleine is an appropriate quantity with regard to its structural and sensory characteristics.
