Abstract
Neuti-dduk is a steamed rice cake made of nonglutious rice How, with Neuti leaves powder, sugar, and water. The objective of study was designed to seek the best recipe to make Neuti-dduk The procedure was as follows Neuti-dduk containing different ratios of the above mentioned ingredients, such as Neuti leaves powder (4, 8, and 12g), sugar and water. The most desirable recipe was determined after sensory examinations and mechanical tests to measure the texture, moisture content and colorimeter. The results of the sensory evaluation showed the Neuti-dduk containing 8g Neuti leaves powder, 20g sugar 20 and 45$m\ell$ water had the highest scores in overall acceptability, color and flavor preference. In the textural analysis the hardness, adhesiveness and cohesiveness of the Neuti-dduk decreased on the addition of increasing amounts of Neuti leaves powder. The moisture content of Neuti-dduk with 4g Neuti leaves powder was higher than that with 12g. The L- and a-values of Neuti-dduk were increased by decreasing the amount of Neuti leaves powder. The overall quality of the sensory examination of Neuti-dduk in relation to the amount of Neuti leaves powder had positive correlation with the moistness, but negative correlations with the L-value andmoisture content. (Eds note: would these 2 highlighted features not be related; if so, why does one have a positive and the other a negative correlation\ulcorner) From the results of these tests, the most desirable recipe for the Neuti-dduk was 8g of Neuti leaves powder, 20g of sugar, 45$m\ell$ of water and2g of salt, for every 200g of rice powder. The moisture content of this recipe was 42.18％.
