“…In Korea, 58,947 tons of ginger was produced in 2016, with the production growing at an annual rate of about 15.4%, and the ginger market size is about 535.9 billion KRW, also growing at an annual rate of 14.2% (Chungcheongnam-do Agricultural Research and Extension Services, 2017), indicating growing demands. To address the challenges of ginger storage and increase the diversity of ginger consumer products, past studies have investigated the optimal quality characteristics of sweet-rice muffins containing ginger powder (Lee et al, 2011), rheological characteristics of pound cake containing ginger powder (Chung et al, 2012), quality characteristics of ginger juice-added muffins (Han et al, 2012), quality characteristics of apple jams made with ginger (Lee et al, 2014), quality characteristics of all-purpose flour containing ginger powder (Lee et al, 2021), and cookies containing ginger powder (Kwon et al, 2021). In terms of processed ginger, candied ginger accounts for nearly half of all processed ginger products (KAMIS).…”
