Press ham were manufactured to investigate the effects of ginseng powder on quality characteristics of press ham. Each treatment added pork loin basis with Ginseng powder(0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0%) were stored until 28 days at 4℃. The changes in shear force value, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), fatty acid composition and sensory evaluation of each treatment were measured until 28 days at 4℃. Shear force value was not significantly different between the control and ginseng treatment groups. The value for all treatments were decreased significantly by the passage of storage time (P<0.05). Remarkable differences were found in sensory properties(color, flavor and acceptability) among control and ginseng treatment groups. This was not clearly changed by the passage of storage time. Ginseng treatment groups showed significantly (p<0.05) lower TBARS value than the control. TBARS value was increased significantly during storage in all treatments. Fatty acid composition did not significantly differ between the control and ginseng treatment groups. Summing up the a forementioned results, press ham manufacturing with ginseng powder was not affected in shear force value, sensory evaluation, TBARS and fatty acid composition. Also, it may be assumed that the high quality press ham can be manufactured with the extend of storage period and saponin accumulation.
