Influence of garlic on the quality characteristics of apple jam was investigated. Apple jams with various amounts of sugar and garlic were prepared, and their sweetness, color difference, and instrumental texture were evaluated. The results were as follows: 1. When equal amount of sugar was added, the sweetness of apple jam decreased as the garlic content increased. 2. As the garlic content increased, the lightness and yellowness tended to be high and the redness and ΔE tended to be low, resulting that the color of apple jam was improved. 3. As the sugar content increased, the hardness and adhesiveness of the jam tended to increase when garlic was added at 10%. 4. Apple jam with 60% sugar and 10% garlic was the best in adhesiveness, glossiness, and overall quality by sensory evaluation. As the addition of garlic did not cause any significant difference in flavor, cooked garlic could be applied in apple jams.
