Article Synopsis
  • The study investigated how adding Polygonatum cyrtonema (PC) powder affects the quality of traditional Chinese rice cakes.
  • Results showed that incorporating PC made the rice cakes a light-yellow color, increased their water content and absorption, and improved their texture by exhibiting weak-gel properties.
