This study was performed to investigate the quality characteristics of yanggeng prepared with different ratios of pumpkin. Yanggeng was prepared with three concentrations of pumpkin paste, 87% (sample A), 90%(sample B), and 93%(sample C), to which was added agar, sugar, millet jelly and salt. Proximate composition, Hunter's color, texture profile analysis and sensory evaluation of yanggeng were examined. Lightness of pumpkin yanggeng increased with increasing pumpkin content. In the texture profile analysis, the hardness, cohesiveness and springiness of sample A were significantly higher than those of the other products. The gumminess of sample C was the highest, followed in order by A and B. The tendency of the pumpkin yanggeng to fracture increased with decreasing pumpkin content whereas the elasticity decreased. In the sensory evaluation, the color and taste scores of sample B were significantly higher than those of A and C. Also the overall acceptability of sample B was the highest of the three products.

This study investigated the quality characteristics of Yanggeng sweetened with various amounts of trehalose (0, 40, 60, 80, 100 % of trehalose) and their changes during storage times. The moisture content, color value, $^{\circ}Brix$, pH, texture profile, QDA and acceptance for samples were tested. As a result of the mechanical tests, moisture content and pH were increased while hardness were decreased with increased trehalose content. Also, moistness, gloss and after taste were increased with increased trehalose in the sensory attribute difference test. Acceptance test showed Yanggeng with 60% trehalose and 40% sucrose obtained the highest scores on flavor, taste and overall acceptability. During storage in refrigerator, Yanggeng sweetened with higher % of trehalose showed significantly higher moisture content, and lower syneresis and hardness than the control sweetened with only sucrose. The results of the sensory test showed that 60% trehalose Yanggeng was the highest in flavor, after taste, and overall acceptability.

The mechanical characteristics (texture and color) and consumer preference of Doraji Yanggengs using different pre-treatments and added levels of Doraji were presently evaluated. Three kinds of Doraji Yanggengs were made with differing amounts of Doraji powder (DPY; 30, 50, or 70 g), ground raw Doraji (GRDY; 100, 200, or 300 g), and Doraji juice (DJY; 100, 200, or 300 g). Texture characteristics (hardness, adhesiveness, springiness, chewiness, gumminess, cohesiveness) and color values (lightness, redness, yellowness) were measured three times in three experiments conducted with each formulation. Preference was measured with a nine-point hedonic scale for Yanggengs once every three experiments. Consumer preference was measured with color, flavor, taste, appearance, texture, and overall acceptability. Significant differences according to the amount of Doraji powder were evident with DPY for hardness (p<0.001), adhesiveness (p<0.05), and cohesiveness (p<0.001). Hardness (p<0.001), adhesiveness (p<0.001), chewiness (p<0.01), and gumminess (p<0.01) of 100 g GRDY displayed higher scores than 200 g and 300 g GRDY, but displayed significantly lower scores in cohesiveness (p<0.01). Hardness (p<0.001), adhesiveness (p<0.001), chewiness (p<0.001), gumminess (p<0.01), and cohesiveness (p<0.05) of DJY showed significant differences according to amount of Doraji juice. The highest score in a preference test among DPYs was evident for 30 g DPY. There were no significant differences in preference among GRDYs and DJYs. Color, flavor, taste, appearance, texture, and overall acceptability were significantly (p<0.01) correlated in all Yanggengs. DJY was preferred more than DPY and GRDY. Women in their forties and fifties preferred Yanggeng more when compared to women in their twenties and thirties.

This study was performed to investigate the biological activity of yangha flower buds as well as to manufacture of yanggeng prepared with various levels (0 g, 3 g, 6 g, 9 g, and 12 g) of yangha flower buds. DPPH and ABTS scavenging activities of yangha flower buds were 96% and 57% compared to levels of vitamin C, respectively. In the oxygen radical antioxidant capacity assay, antioxidant activity increased dose dependently up to $500{\mu}g/mL$ of yangha flower buds. There was no toxicity up to $1,000{\mu}g/mL$ in vascular smooth muscle cells, and yanggeng significantly reduced migration and proliferation by platelet-derived growth factor-BB-stimulated rat aortic smooth muscle cell migration and proliferation. In the sensory evaluation, the optimal sample was YY9, which was prepared with 9 g of yangha flower buds. It can be concluded that yangha flower buds show antioxidant and vascular protective activities. The optimal sample (YY9) is expected to contribute as a new functional food.

This study investigated the physicochemical and sensory characteristics of yanggaeng prepared with various amounts of Chrysanthemum zawadskii powder (as ratios of 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, 2% to the total materials). The result displayed that the $^{\circ}Brix$ value, pH of yanggaeng decreased significantly with the addition of Chrysanthemum zawadskii powder. Increasing the amount of Chrysanthemum zawadskii powder in the yanggeng tended to increased acidity. In chromaticity determination, the values of lightness (L) showed a decrease. However, the value of redness (a) increased by increasing levels of Chrysanthemum zawadskii powder. Texture measurement scores in terms of hardness, springiness, and adhesiveness for yanggaeng showed that sample groups were lower than those of the control group. Cohesiveness and chewiness were higher in the additive group than in the control group. DPPH radical scavenging activity and nitrites cavenging activity were significantly increased Chrysanthemum zawadskii (p<0.001). The DPPH content was highest in the 62.40% Chrysanthemum zawadskii yanggaeng. As Chrysanthemum zawadskii powder increased, antioxidative activity also increased. Sensory evaluation scores in terms of color, odor, taste, texture, and overall preference of groups with 0.5% of Chrysanthemum zawadskii powder did not show any significant differences when compared to the control group. Based on the above results, this study suggests that the addition of 0.5% Chrysanthemum zawadskii powder may be the best substitution ratio for yanggaeng.
