Abstract
This study aimed for exploring the best recipe of Seosokbyung with different ingredient ratios of glutinous millet flour, sugar, and water added to rice flour. The most desirable recipe was determined by sensory evaluation and mechanical test for measuring texture, moisture content and colorimetry. The best score for each sensory item was obtained in the following condition: Color-245g(70%) of glutinous millet flour, 50g of sugar with 10$m\ell$ of water in 105g of rice flour. Flavor-l75g(50%) of glutinous millet flour with a 80$m\ell$of honey in 175g of rice flour. Graininess and Moistness-245g(70%) of glutinous millet flour with 70$m\ell$ of honey in 105g of rice flour. Chewiness-2I0g(60%) of glutinous millet flour, 60g of sugar with 20$m\ell$ of water in 140g of rice flour. Sweetness-l75g (50%) of glutinous millet flour 7g of sugar with 25$m\ell$ of water in 175g of rice flour. As a result of mechanical examination, the best score for springiness, cohesiveness, chewiness, gumminess, adhesiveness was obtained in the recipe of 175g (50%) of glutinous millet flour with 80$m\ell$ of sugar in 175g of rice flour, and that for hardness in the one of 245g (70%) of glutinous millet flour with 70$m\ell$ of honey in rice flour As the less amount of glutinous millet flour was added, the scores for springiness, cohesiveness, chewiness, gumminess and adhesiveness were increased, and the addition of honey gave higher scores than sugar or oligosaccharide(P<0.05) The best recipe of Seosokbyung was 140g of rice flour, 2 l0g of glutinous millet flour, 60g of sugar, 20$m\ell$ of water and 3.5g of salt. The moisture contents of rice flour and glutinous millet flour were 31.6% and 13.3%, respectively. The content of moisture in the best recipe of the Seosokbyung is approximately 36.101%. The moisture content higher than 36% gave better sensory scores in chewiness and moistness. As a result of colorimetry, the most bright ‘L’value(Lightness) was obtained from 175g of rice flour mixed with 175g (50%) of glutinous millet flour, 70g of sugar and 25$m\ell$ of water. The highest ‘a’ value(Redness) was gained from 175g of rice flour mixed with 175g (50%) of glutinous millet flour and 80$m\ell$ of honey. The best ‘b’ value(Yellowness) was obtained from 140g of rice flour, 210g (60% of rice flour) of glutinous millet flour, 60g of sugar and 20$m\ell$ of water.
