The purpose of this study was to evaluate the quality of castella added with different concentrations (0%, 5%, 10%, and 15%) of Panax ginseng sprout powder. The specific gravity of castella made with 15% ginseng sprout powder was the highest (0.65), and baking loss rate was highest well. However, the height and weight of castella were highest in the control. The pH of castella decreased with increasing levels of Panax ginseng sprout powder, whereas sugar content of castella did not show significant differences. The Hunter L, a, and b values of crust decreased as the concentration of Panax ginseng sprout powder increased. The Hunter L and a values of crumb decreased as the concentration of ginseng sprout powder increased, whereas b values of crumb increased. The gumminess and chewiness of castella increased by addition of Panax ginseng sprout powder, whereas cohesiveness of castella decreased. The hardness and springiness of castella did not show significant differences. In the sensory evaluation, crust color, crumb color, aroma and moistness did not show significant differences among samples while sweet taste, and chewiness were highest in the control group. The overall acceptability of castella added with 5% Panax ginseng sprout powder was the highest. Therefore, the results suggest that castella added with 5% ginseng sprout powder could be helpful for improving physical quality and taste.

This study aimed to determine the effect of extraction temperature and time on the antioxidant activity of hot water extract from Panax ginseng sprout powder and to evaluate the suitability of this extract for use in dairy products. Water-soluble fractions of commercial Panax ginseng sprout powder were obtained by hot water extraction at 25, 60, or 80℃ for 0.5, 2, 12, or 24 h. The antioxidant activity of each extract was evaluated by measuring its free radical scavenging activity against 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS). DPPH and ABTS free radical scavenging activity increased with extraction temperature from 25 to 80℃. At 80℃, increasing the extraction time from 0.5 to 2 h led to increases in DPPH and ABTS free radical scavenging activity. Thus, the extract obtained under 2 h at 80℃ was selected for addition to milk and yogurt. After 16 days of storage, there were no significant changes in the pH of the milk or the antioxidant activity of the extract. With regard to yogurt fermentation, adding the extract did not affect the pH or the number of viable lactic acid bacteria. In conclusion, hot water extract from Panax ginseng sprout powder can be added to dairy products to enhance antioxidant activity.
