In this study, we characterized the chemical properties of golden berries, which contain various functional substances and bioactive components, to develop a yogurt dressing using golden berry juice. The total polyphenol content of golden berry was 35.29 mg GAE/g, the total flavonoid content was 28.93 mg QE/g, and the DPPH radical scavenging activity was 94.81%. The chromaticity of yogurt dressing with golden berry juice decreased in L value and increased in a and b values with growing amounts of golden berry juice (p<0.001); viscosity decreased significantly with increasing amounts of golden berry juice (p<0.001). Electronic tongue analysis showed that sourness, umami taste, and saltiness increased upon increasing the quantity of golden berry juice, while sweetness and bitterness increased with less golden berry juice. PCA analysis determined that PC1 and PC2 accounted for 63.45% and 35.29% of the variance, respectively. Furthermore, the addition of golden berry juice impacted the analysis of taste patterns. Sensory evaluation showed that color, flavor, sweetness, sourness, bitterness, and overall acceptability were highest in the 30% golden berry juice group. As a result, it was confirmed that adding golden berry juice is suitable for developing yogurt dressings that can improve health functions and palatability.

To increase antioxidant activity and physicochemical quality characteristics, four kinds of berries (blueberry (BEB), blackberry (BKB), cranberry (CNB), raspberry (RSB)) with antioxidant activities were used to replace beet (B) in existing ABC juice. In the experimental group, the pH was decreased while the content of soluble solids was increased significantly. Total polyphenol content was significantly increased in all experimental groups compared to that in the control group. The control group had the lowest polyphenol content at 14.723 μg GAE/g, whereas the blackberry replacement group had the highest polyphenol content at 67.12 μg GAE/g. The total flavonoid content was the lowest in the control group at 8.98 μg QE/g but the highest in the blackberry group at 50.47 μg QE/g. All experimental groups showed significantly higher antioxidant activities than the control group. DPPH & ABTS radical scavenging activities were the lowest in the control group at 15.69% and 19.55%, respectively, but the highest in the blackberry group at 48.24% and 59.43%, respectively. SOD-like activity was also the lowest in the control group at 14.12%, but the highest in the blackberry group at 48.18%. When comparing experimental groups, antioxidant activities (DPPH, ABTS, SOD) and antioxidant components (total polyphenols and total flavonoids) were in the order of BKB > CNB > RSB > BEB > Control. In conclusion, the new ABC juice containing four types of berries is enriched in antioxidants with significantly improved antioxidant activities and physicochemical quality characteristics.
