The traditional food - jungkwa of Korea, is difficult to manufacture. In this study, jungkwa with carrots was made in a rice cooker to simplify preparation. The boiling times for red color, chewiness and overall acceptability of jungkwa with carrots in a rice cooker as compared to the traditional method were 135 minutes, 150 minutes, 165 minutes, 180 minutes and 195 minutes, respectively. The rice cooker produced a lower moisture content in jungkwa with carrots when cooked for a longer time period, whereas the sugar content increased significantly. The color value of jungkwa with carrots was reduced at a longer boiling time as compared to the traditional method, yellowness increased when boiling time was longer than 195 minutes, whereas it remained the same with the traditional method. The hardness of jungkwa with carrots increased and candied jungkwa's result increased significantly when the boiling time was longer than 165 minutes. The rice cooker created a similar chewiness even when boiling time was over 165 minutes, although not consistently. The sensory evaluation scores of jungkwa made with carrots in terms of appearance, smell, taste, texture and overall preference were highest at 150 minutes and 165 minutes. Boiling jungkwa for 150 minutes in the rice cooker is the traditional method which simmers jungkwa at a lower timethan the preference time. Therefore, the best time for boiling jungkwa in the rice cooker highest was 165 minutes. After storage for 15 days chewiness and moisture content of jungkwa made with carrots at different boiling times, increased and decreases respectively. Therefore, the rice cooker can used to achieve comparable jungkwa without the traditional method.

The purpose of this studies was analyzed moisture content, rheology and sensual test of jujube jungkwa by addition of water, sugar, fructose at processing of jujube jungkwa for development the optimization for processing of jujube jungkwa. The changes of moisture contents at process condition of jujube jungkwa were increased by increasing of sugar and water quantity. And moisture contents of jujube jungkwa were increased by high fructose quantity and low sugar quantity, but were decreased by high sugar and fructose quantity. The 'b' values of jujube jungkwa at low sugar quantity were decreased by the increasing of water quantity, but increased at high sugar quantity. The cohesiveness of jujube jungkwa at 0.03 kg of fructose were high by the increasing of sugar quantity, but those at 0.065 kg of fructose were high by the decreasing of sugar quantity. And those at 0.050 kg of fructose were similar without the quantity of sugar. The sweet taste of jujube jungkwa were increased by the increasing of water and fructose quantity. The characteristics of jungkwa at conditions of processing for the best quality of jujube jungkwa were 18-20% of moisture content, 2.0-3.0 of 'b' values, 3.0-3.2 of color scores, and 3.3-3.4 of sweet taste scores. The conditions of processing for the best quality of jujube jungkwa were determined to 0.95-1.04 L of water, 0.052-0.060 kg of fructose at 0.95 kg of sugar.

Jungkwa is traditional food in Korea and difficult to prepare. This study proposes to use a rice cooker to simplify the process of preparing ginseng jungkwa. The following is the summary of the study. This study examined low calorie sweeteners (xylitol, oligosaccharide, stevioside, erythritol) instead of sugar for ginseng jungkwa to satisfy customers' health needs. After adding sugar, xylitol, oligosaccharide, stevioside, and erythritol to ginseng jungkwa, moisture and sugar content were measured. Based on the results, the ginseng jungkwa made with xylitol had a low moisture content, but it had the highest sugar content. The ginseng jungkwa with xylitol had average sweetness equal to that of sugar. In addition, L-values were highest with stevioside whereas the b-values and a-values were highest with sugar. Hardness and springiness were highest in the ginseng jungkwa added with sugar while adhesiveness was highest in the ginseng jungkwa added with oligosaccharide. In a sensory evaluation, the appearance, flavor, taste, texture, and overall preference were highest for the oligosaccharide added ginseng jungkwa. In the end, the best low calorie sweetener for rice cooker prepared ginseng jungkwa proved to be oligosaccharide.

Making jungkwa, a traditional Korean snack, is difficult and complicated. In this study, a rice cooker was used to simplify the process of making jungkwa made with ginseng. Comparing ginseng jungkwa cooked in a rice cooker with the control group cooked in a traditional way, their chewiness, browness, glossy and overall preference were similar when cooked for 160 minutes, 175 minutes, 190 minutes, 205 minutes, and 220 minutes. The moisture content of ginseng jungkwa cooked in a rice cooker decreased, while its sugar content increased with increased cooking time. Also, the ginseng jungkwa had lower lightness and higher redness and yellowness as its cooking time got longer. The ginseng jungkwa cooked for 205 minutes was most similar to the one cooked in a traditional way. In the measurement of texture, the ginseng jungkwa had higher hardness with increased cooking time, and, when cooked for 205 minutes, it was most similar to the one cooked in a traditional way in chewiness. The sensory evaluation showed that the one cooked for 205 minutes was most preferred in appearance, smell, taste, texture and overall preference. Based on these results, this study revealed that using a rice cooker can be substituted for the traditional way of making jungkwa.

Jungkwa is a traditional Korean dessert preserved in honey or sucrose. This study was carried out to investigate the antioxidant activities and quality characteristics of Rehmannia glutinosa Jungkwa (RJ). RJ was prepared after six repeated cycles of boiling-cooling. After blanching fresh Rehmannia glutinosa (600 g) for 5 min at $100^{\circ}C$, Rehmannia glutinosa was boiled in sucrose syrup (sucrose 720 g in water 600 g) for 60 min and then cooled for 24 hr. Moisture, pH and color values of lightness, redness and yellowness in the Hunter color system of Jungkwa decreased as the number of boiling-cooling cycles increased, whereas acidity, $^{\circ}Brix$ and reducing sugar contents of syrup increased. Total phenol content increased in by the 6th boiling-cooling cycle. Antioxidant activities, including DPPH and hydroxyl radical scavenging activities, increased in RJ by the 6th boiling-cooling cycle. Based on these results, the antioxidant activities of Rehmannia radix Jungkwa was improved according to an increasing number of boiling-cooling cycles due to increased total phenol contents.

This study was developed a multi-step process of functional jungkwa preparation from jujube fruits to prepare a new processed food, and investigated on the quality of jujube jungkwa. The weight of jujube fruits notably increased during the second processing, compared with jungkwa prepared from dried jujube fruits using an osmosis drying treatment. The weight of jungkwa produced in the second processing step was less than those in the first step. The Hunter values (L, a, b) of dried jujube fruits after the first processing were less than those of control jujube fruits. The L value did not change after the second processing of jujube jungkwa, but the a and b values were markedly decreased. However, the Hunter values did not change during the third processing step. The moisture content of dried jujube fruit, and dried fruit treated by supplementary drying (DDJF) was 37.74 and 35.93%, respectively, and that of dried fruit treated by osmosis drying was 40.42%. The moisture content of dried jujube fruit after the second processing decreased by 2-10%, and by 4-10% after the third processing. The reabsorption ratio of jujube jungkwa after the second processing was 16.93%, and that of jungkwa produced from osmosis-dried fruit 24.81%. The strength and hardness of dried jujube fruit treated with supplementary drying (DDJF) were higher, at 3 and 2, respectively, compared to the values of dried jujube fruit. The rheology of jujube fruit and jungkwa did not change during the second processing. The color, glossiness, acceptability of appearance, flavor, and overall acceptability of dried jujube fruit treated by osmosis drying as the second processing step were somewhat higher than those of fruit processed by other methods. The scores for appearance, flavor, chewiness, after taste, and overall acceptability of dried fruits treated with supplementary drying as the third processing step were somewhat greater than those of fruit prepared by other means. Accordingly, we have developed a process for preparation of jungkwa from dried jujube fruit treated by supplementary drying and osmosis drying as the second and third processing steps.
