Quality Characteristics of Yaksik Prepared by Different Methods

Quality characteristics of Yaksik prepared with glutinuous rice soaked for different time lengths were investigated. Moisture contents increased with the increment of soaking time. In Hunter's color value, the lightness decreased and redness and yellowness increased by the increment of soaking time. Samples prepared with a commercial formula showed increased red and yellow colors due to the addition of caramel sauce. The firmness decreased with the increment of soaking time during storage. However, the samples prepared with 2 hr-soaking were retrograded rapidly. In peroxide value, there were no differences among samples. In microbiological evaluation, samples prepared with a commercial formula had prolonged shelf lives probably due to the preservatives contained. Samples prepared with 6 hr-soaking showed the highest score in sensory evaluation.
