A Study on Quality of Rice-Yackwa

쌀을 이용한 약과의 조리과학적 연구

Yackwa is a Korean traditional fried cake made by went flour, sesame oil and honey. This study was investigated to the Rice-Yackwa for the purpose of the improvement of Yackwa's quality and rice consumption by sensory evaluation and instrumental measurement. It was resulted that taste and flavor of Rice-Yackwas were better than those of Wheat-Yackwa by sensory evaluation. We tested whether the mesh of the rice (80,100,120) and swelling agents (baking power, soju : Korean alcholic beverage) affected the Rice-Yackwa's swelling or not. In result, not by soju but by baking powder Rice-Yackwas were swelled. But Rice-Yackwa was so hard, that the Yackwas were made by the two different compositions of mixed flour (rice : wheat ; 75:25, 50:50) exibited softer than those made by rice. The hardness of 25 g% mixed flour Yackwa was improved. And we examined the softening effect on rice and mixed flour Yackwa by the increasing storage periods (1, 2, 3, 5 days). Rice-Yackwa's hardness was changed more greatly than Wheat-Yackwa's by storage periods. In addition to we inspected the effluence of sesame oil in the pross of frying. Sesame oil (40%) was drown out the Rice-Yackwa.
