In this research, we added 10%, 20% and 30% of white rice powder and colored rice powder to wheat flour, then baked cakes to appraise the quality of each cake by physical and sensory evaluation The resultsare as follows: 1) The specific gravity was increased in order of rice powder-added batters and colored rice powder-added batters. No remarkable difference was found in expansion ratio of cakes except some reduction in 30% rice powder-added cake. 2) Gumminess of cake was higher in the 30% colored rice-added cake Hardness of rice-added cakes was higher than colored rice-added ones. More adding rate of rice, higher hardness of cake. No remarkable difference was found in chewiness, springiness and cohesiveness of cakes 3) In case of color, rice-added cakes showed more L value and less b value than colored rice-added ones. Colored rice-added cakes showed less L value more a value and less b value as adding rate became higher 4) According to the results of sensory evaluation, no remarkable difference was found in the size of a cell and distribution of cells. Crumb and tenderness tended to be lower in rice added cakes than in colored rice added ones. Color was prefered in 30% colored rice added cakes over rice-added cakes and less added colored rice added cakes.

The purpose of this study is to understand consumer awareness and preference regarding rice cakes by surveying the awareness, preference, and consumption behavior of college students regarding rice cakes, and to survey their perception and usage of rice cakes, thereby using the results as basic data to establish measures to develop Korea's rice cakes. To sum up the study's results, the survey included both male (54.5%) and female (45.5%) subjects. Those aged "20 to 23" accounted for the largest share (67.9%) of total respondents, and those majoring in "humanities and social studies" comprised the largest portion (47.8%). A majority of the respondents resided in "small and medium-sized cities", and most either lived at home or lived away from their families. A majority of the subjects received monthly allowances ranging from 200,000 to 300,000 won. In order of awareness, the most well-known type of rice cake was "injeolmi (rice cake made from glutinous rice and coated with bean flour)", followed by "songpyeon (half-moon-shaped rice cake)", "garaeddeok (bar rice cake)", and "baekseolgi (steamed white rice cake)". The women were better aware of "injeolmi", "baekseolgi", and "garaeddeok" than the men, and "soemeoriddeok" was not commonly known among either gender. In terms of preferences for rice cakes, overall, the subjects liked "injeolmi" and "songpyeon" the most. However, certain differences were found in preferences for rice cakes between the men and women. The women exhibited higher levels of preference for "injeolmi" and "songpyeon" than the men. On the other hand, the men revealed higher levels of preference for "baekseolgi", "jeolpyeon", and "garaeddeok" than the women. The most common answer to important factors for popularizing rice cakes was "a diverse assortment of rice cakes", followed by "the development of creative technologies" and "the taste of rice cakes reflecting consumer needs", in order of importance. Among the important factors to popularize rice cakes, "the development of unique packaging containers for rice cakes" (p<0.05) and "the development of proper packaging materials" (p<0.05) showed statistically significant differences. In the survey of consumption of rice cakes, the most frequent answer to the question "why do you like rice cakes? was "their tastes are good" with 146 respondents, followed by "I have been eating them for long" with 115 respondents. To the question "when do you use rice cakes", the most frequent answer was "I use them in daily life" with 133 respondents, followed by "I use them at special events" with 115 respondents. The women were found to use rice cakes frequently in daily life, whereas the men used them frequently at special events. When asked whether they had the intention to use rice cakes as a meal substitute, 100 men answered that they had no intention, whereas 96 women answered that they had the intention. When asked about the type of rice cake considered suitable for a meal substitute, the most popular answer was "injeolmi" with 108 respondents, followed by "baekseolgi" with 106 respondents.

In this study, the types and characteristics of rice cake, cookies were investicated in the rice grown area-Korea, Japan (Tokyo, Osaka), China (Hongkong), Thai (Bangkok, ChiengMai), Indonesia (Bali, Jakarta), and Philippine (Manila). 1. Rice cakes and cookies were made from rice powder and rice granule. Specially, there were two kinds of basic rice powder one was rice powder in dry and the other was rice juice grinded with water on the millstone. Rice juices were named in China, MeeChang, in Manila, Galapong, in Bangkok, rice powder. 2. The kinds and numbers of steamed rice cakes were the most available in all investicated area. In Hongkong, Bangkok, ChiengMai, and Manila, beatened or kneaded rice cakes could not be seen almost. Only in Hongkong and Bangkok, fried rice cakes were available, while in Japan, boiled rice cakes were not seen almost, and also baked rice cakes were not seen in Korea, Hongkong, Bali, Jakarta. 3. In the east-south Asian area, except rice and glutinous rice, coconut and palm fruits and banana were using in recipies of rice cakes and cookies. They gave soft and tender mouth feeling, white color, and good emulsifying status. 4. The kinds and numbers of rice cookies were the most available in Bangkok, but in Bali and Jakarta, the least. The cookies of Japan had similar texture and shape to rice cake while most of cookies in Hongkong were fried in oils. In Korea, the kinds and numbers of rice cookies were less than those of rice cakes.

This experiment was carried out to investigate the effects of adding corn flour on the quality of rice cakes. Rice-corn cakes were prepared by adding corn flour at 25%, 50% and 75%, and the quality characteristics were measured. In the expansion ratio, springiness and cohesiveness of rice-corn cakes, the 25% group(C-25) was the highest and the 75% group(C-75) was the lowest. The higher the ratio of adding corn flour was, the lower the expansion ratio, springiness and cohesiveness were. In the hardness and chewiness of rice-corn cakes, the 75 % group(C-75) was the highest and the 25% group(C-25) was the lowest. But in the taste, texture and overall acceptance of rice-corn cakes, the 50% group(C-50) was the best.

To encourage rice consumption, this study investigated the quality characteristics of fish cakes containing four different amounts (0%: control, 50%, 75%, 100%) of rice flour. The moisture and pH of fish cake dough and fat contents, color values, folding score, texture profiles and consumer acceptability of fried fish cakes containing rice flour were measured. There were no significant difference on moisture and pH of fish cake dough containing rice flour. There was significant decrease in terms of fat contents, folding score of the fish cakes with increasing rice flour(p<.05). While a and b values were increased, L value decreased significantly, as the ratio of rice flour increased(p<.05). Hardness, cohesiveness, gumminess and chewiness of fish cakes with rice flour decreased significantly (p<.05), but no significant difference in springiness. There were no significant differences in overall acceptance, appearance, flavor, color and taste between the control group and treatment groups(p<.05). Texture was decreased significantly as the rice flour increased(p<.05). This study suggests that adding fifty percent rice flour to fish cakes could be a good way to increasing rice flour without decreasing texture acceptability.

A literature on Korean rice cakes by ingredients and preparation methods was reviewed with published literatures in Korea from 1950 to 1995. The result were as followed; 1. The 46 volumes about preparation of Korean rice cakes were reported. There were 32 steamed (Jeung-byung), 6 pounded (Do-byung), 4 fried (Yu-jeon-byung), and 4 boiled Korean rice cakes (Kyung-Dan). This result showed that steamed Korean rice cake was the most frequently studied among any other kinds of Korean rice cakes. 2. The reports on preparation of Korean rice cakes were rare during $1950's{\sim} 1960's$. In 1970's, there were few papers about basic study for Korean rice cakes. And it was reached 8 volumes of steamed, each 1 volume of fried or boiled Korean rice cakes. From 1990's, the more scientific researches were progressed vigorously so reached 11 volumes till 1995 but it was limited to Solgi and Jeungpyun etc. This result shows that the experiment for Korean rice cake was not various. 3. The preceded studies for Korean rice cake were investigated to see texture, sensory, quality characteristic and effect of substitutes added to original ingredients.

Physicochemical and sensory characteristics of pound cakes containing Angelica gigas NAKAI(Korean Angelica) with various levels of rice flour were investigated in this study. There were significant differences in the specific gravity of dough, and it had the lowest value of 0.848 in the control group. The weight of pound cakes was significantly increased by addition of rice flour, but the volume, specific volume and baking loss rate were significantly decreased by addition of rice flour. The moisture content and pH of pound cakes were found to increase with increasing rice flour content. DPPH radical scavenging activity of the control group was 51.02%, whereas pound cakes with rice flour ranged from 51.90~55.75%. The L value of brightness was increased, but a and b values were decreased significantly by addition of rice flour. In all of items of texture, the control group was higher than those of the pound cakes prepared with various levels of rice flour. Sensory evaluation scores in terms of appearance, flavor, taste, texture and overall preference for pound cakes showed that 50% and 75% substituted sample groups were higher than those of the other groups. The results of this study suggest that addition of 50~75% rice flour is the best substitution ratio for Korean Angelica pound cakes.

This study investigated the effects of adding hard and soft wheat flour to Korean rice cakes(Karedduk) to retard retrogradation, by examining texture properties and descriptive sensory qualities after 2 and 24 hrs of storage at $5^{\circ}C$. The hard and soft wheat flour were combined with dry rice flour at levels of 0, 5, 10, and 20%. The texture properties, as analyzed by a Texture Analyzer, revealed that the springiness, cohesiveness, and adhesiveness of the rice cakes containing wheat flour were similar to those of the control, while chewiness, gumminess, and hardness were lower compared to the control. Also, in sensory analyses, hardness was significantly different in the rice cakes containing wheat flour compared to the control after 24 hrs of storage at $5^{\circ}C$. Overall, the instrumental texture properties were highly correlated with the sensory characteristics. These results suggest that adding hard and soft wheat flour to Korean rice cakes(Karedduk) is effective at retarding retrogradation.

This study was undertaken to provide basic data to aid product development and marketing by identifying purchasing behaviors and performing Important Performance Analysis (IPA) according to the consumption values of rice cakes. This study was conducted on 426 consumers who purchased rice cakes. Analysis was performed to determine general characteristics, consumption behaviors, preference for rice cakes, material preferences for rice cake development, need for rice cake development, and importance and satisfaction when selecting rice cakes. Cluster analysis classified consumption values into three clusters. The high and middle consumption value groups contained the greatest proportions of consumers aged over fifty. The high and medium consumption value groups preferred rice cakes more than the low consumption value group. Higher rice cake consumption value was positively associated with the greater preference for rice cakes. Furthermore, the perceived need to develop rice cakes was greatest in the high consumption value group. In addition, importance and satisfaction were positively associated with consumption value. IPA analysis showed that the attributes that require continuous attention because of their contributions to importance and satisfaction were taste, quantity, and hygiene. Different rice cake marketing and product development strategies are required for different consumption values.

This study investigated the physicochemical and sensory characteristics of rice pound cake prepared with various amounts of blueberry powder. The weight of rice pound cakes with additions of 2~8% blueberry powder increased from 418.58 to 420.50 g. The volume and specific loaf volume of rice pound cakes prepared by adding blueberry powder were lower than those of the control. The baking loss rate for the control was 7.72% and that of rice pound cakes prepared by adding blueberry powder decreased by 6.98~6.56%. The moisture contents of rice pound cakes added with blueberry powder were higher than the control. The pH levels for rice pound cakes prepared with blueberry powder ranged between 6.47 and 7.58 and that of the control was 8.11. The microstructural observation by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) showed well developed air cells of control. DPPH radical scavenging activity of the control group was 13.6%, whereas pound cakes prepared by adding blueberry powder ranged from 35.2~78.8%. The "a" value of redness was increased, but L and b value were decreased significantly by additions of blueberry powder. The full textural properties of rice pound cakes were being significantly increased by additions of blueberry powder. Sensory evaluation scores in terms of appearance, flavor, taste, texture and overall preference for pound cakes showed that 4~6% of substituted sample groups were higher than those of others. The results of this study suggest that additions of 4~6% blueberry powder was the best substitution ratio for rice pound cakes.
