The junkwa traditional food in Korea, and how it is difficult to manufacture. So very high calorie. In this study, using the rice cooker is to simplify the method of junkwa made with fresh ginseng. The following is the summary of the study. This study examined low calorie sweeteners (xylitol, oligosaccharide, stevioside, erythritol) instead of sugar for fresh ginseng junkwa to satisfy customers health needs. After adding sugar, xylitol, oligosaccharide, stevio-side and erythritol to fresh ginseng junkwa. The fresh ginseng(Gangwha, 4 yrd old) chosen to make junkwa adding xylitol, oligosaccharide, stevioside, erythritol were 2cm in width and 15 cm in length that were fairly straight in shape. Fresh ginseng was cut into pieces of 7 mm thickness and 500 g of the cut ginseng were par-boiled in 1L of boiling water in a pot(stainless, diameter : 20 cm, height : 15 cm). The fresh ginseng was then drained off of water on a mesh strainer and the 500 g of water that was boiled with fresh ginseng and 500 g of sugar were put together in an electronic rice cooker and were stirred to melt the sugar. When the sugar was totally dissolved into water, the 500 g of previously boiled fresh ginseng pieces were put into boiled liquid and was boiled down together for 205 minutes, and then was drained off the liquid on the mesh strainer and was examined for the experiment. Fresh ginseng junkwa added with xylitol, oligosaccharide, stevioside, erythritol were also produced through the same procedure. The fresh junkwa produced were put into experimentation under the room temperature of 24℃ for 12 days. The moisture level of junkwa made with fresh ginseng at different sweeteners were the lowest in the added with oligosaccharide. The chewiness and L-values were same to the lowest in the added with oligosaccharide. The difference in sweet taste showed that the fresh ginseng junkwa with oligosaccharide met the requirement of all storage periods. Therefore, oligosaccharide was a good ingredient for fresh ginseng junkwa.
