摘要

The objective of this study was to investigate the best substitute percentage of Chinese medicine Syh-Wuh soup (including Chinese Angelica, Rehmannia root, Chuanxiong and White peony root) for water in order to develop 3 different flavored Syh-Wuh konjac blocks. Subsequently, sensory evaluation and consumer test were analyzed. The results indicated that konjac flour: water=1:20, 0.25% NaOH, 1% corn starch and 80% replacement of water for Syh-Wuh soup could make good quality of konjac blocks. The sensory scores between 3 different flavored Syh-Wuh konjac blocks did not show significant difference (P＞0.05). Sensory parameters including color, aroma, flavor, chewiness, overall acceptance and purchase willingness were acceptable by consumer panelists. According to the consumer test, the age of 21-40 group showed the higher acceptance for Syh-Wuh konjac block than the age of ＜20 group (P＜0.05). Also, consumers with ”higher interest and buying desire for new food products” showed better acceptance for Syh-Wuh konjac block than the other groups.
