This study was conducted to evaluate the quality characteristics and antioxidant activities of rice flour sponge cakes containing 0, 20, 30, 40, and 50% Helianthus tuberosus powder (HTP). As HTP content of sponge cake increased, the pH of sponge cake batter significantly decreased, whereas specific gravity significantly increased (p<0.05). Meanwhile, volume and symmetry indices of sponge cake were inversely proportional to HTP amount. Further, with higher HTP content in sponge cake, L and b values of crumbs significantly decreased (p<0.05), whereas a value significantly increased (p<0.05). L, a, and b values of crust significantly increased with higher HTP content. For texture characteristics, hardness, cohesiveness, gumminess, and chewiness of sponge cake significantly increased (p<0.05),whereas cohesiveness did not significantly change. In the sensory evaluation test, rice sponge cake prepared with 10% HTP showed the highest sensory scores in terms of color, flavor, taste, softness properties, and overall preference. The levels of total polyphenol compounds and DPPH radical scavenging activities of rice sponge cakes significantly increased with higher HTP contents (p<0.05). The results of this study suggest that rice sponge cake containing 10% HTP is the most appropriate for quality characteristics and sensory evaluation. This study also provides a way to increase the quality, texture characteristics, and organoleptic properties of sponge cake while reducing HTP content to less than 10% in order to satisfy consumer tastes.

This is a comparative study of Byung-Kwa-Ryu (Korean rice cake and cookie) of the Chungcheon Province Area in the late Joseon Dynasty, based on 「Jusiksiui」 in the late 1800s, 「Eumsikbangmunnira」 in 1891, and 「Banchandeungsok」 in 1913. This study was also compared with the recipes of 「Suunjapbang」 of 1540, 「Eumsikdimibang」 of around 1670, 「Siuijeonseo」, and Gyuhabchongseo of the late 1800s. As for the Byung-Kwa-Ryu(Korean rice cake and cookie) introduced in the recipe book, 「Eumsikbangmunnira」 recorded the most with 18 types of rice cakes and two types of Korean sweets, followed by 「Jusiksiui. There were 14 types of rice cakes, and two types of Korean sweets. 「Banchandeungsok」 had eight types ofrice cakes and six types of Korean sweets. Yogi-tteok in 「Jusiksiui」 and 「Banchandeungsok」 were foods that could not be found in other recipes. Yakgwa and Jeungpyeon were in all three books as well as 「Eumsikdimibang」. These were also included in 「Siuijeonseo」 and were introduced to most cookbooks. The materials used and the method of making it differed for each recipe. Many studies on cookbooks have focused on the Yeongnam region so far. This study served as an opportunity to confirm the dietary life data of the Chungcheong-do region through a review of the recipe books containing food from the Chungcheong-do region. In addition, it was possible to examine the ingredients and cooking methods used in each cookbook at the time through comparative analysis with the cookbooks in the Yeongnam region.

In this study, we examined the quality of fish cakes prepared using the flour obtained from the following different rice varieties: Baekogchal, Dodamssal, Hangaru, Jeogjinju 2, Josaengheugchal, Saeminyeon, Saeilmi, and Shingil. The moisture content of the fish paste containing rice flour ranged from 67.40% to 69.90%, and was highest in the paste prepared using Baekogchal flour. The lipid and protein contents of the paste ranged from 0.05% to 0.43% and 11.36% to 11.69%, respectively, whereas the carbohydrate content was between 10.36% and 12.32%, and was highest in the paste prepared using Jeogjinju 2 flour. Fish cakes prepared using the flour from Baekogchal, Jeogjinju 2, and Josaengheugchal rice were found to have the hardest consistency. Sensory evaluations indicated that fish cakes prepared using Shingil flour had the best texture. Furthermore, the total polyphenol content was significantly higher in the fish cakes prepared using Josaengheugchal flour (165.12 mg GAE/100 g), whereas the DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activities were significantly higher in the fish cakes prepared using Josaengheugchal flour (39.37 and 175.37 mg TE/100 g, respectively). In conclusion, we confirmed that the quality of fish cakes is affected by the characteristics of the flours obtained from different rice varieties. Among the varieties assessed, the quality of Shingil and Josaengheugchal varieties was suitable for preparing rice-containing fish cakes.

'The Joobang' is a cooking book written purely in Korean which came from a Mr. Lee. It is unknown when and by whom this book was written, but it is inferred from red pepper mentioned in this book and from Korean-writting type that the book was written around in the mid-nineteenth century. The contents of 'the Joobang' consist of thirty seven items in all : sixteen items of rice alcoholics, five side dishes, eleven Tucks(rice cakes) and Guaja(cookies) and five processed materials. Cereals for making rice alcoholics were regular rice and sticky rice. In the first brew, rice alcoholics is made all from regular rice, and in the second brew, fifty six percent of regular rice and forty four percent of sticky rice was made use of. For five items of alcoholics forming 31.3% of alcoholics, flour was added, in which case the proportion of leaven to cereals was lower. There were four types of processing cereals in brewing rice alcoholics Jee-ae-bop(steamed rice, 60.9%), thick gruel with cereals ground and completely cooked(8.7%), thick gruel with cereals ground and half cooked (26.1%) and GooMung Tuck(doughnut-shaped rice cake, 4.3%). The comparison of the materials for brewing rice alcoholics and of the types of processing cereals presented in the seven cooking books purely in Korean(Umsik Deemeebang, JoobangMoon, Umsikbo, Sool-mandununbop, Kyuhap chongseo. The Kims' Joobangmoon and The Lee's Umsikbup) showed us the following facts ; Yihwajoo (rice alcoholics brewed around the blooming time of pear trees) and Kwahajoo(rice alcoholics which passed the summed time) were most often introduced and commonest, and the materials for brewing and the types of processing little changed over times. The materials for side dishes were all animal food, and vegetable food was little used for side dishes. Red pepper was used for seasoning. It is a problem of Korean traditional cooking that there were no units of measuring for side dishes. The main materials for Tuck(rice cakes) and Guaja(cookies) were sticky rice, regular rice and honey. There was a variety of terms for the process, from which we can see that the procedures of making Tuck(rice cakes) and Guaja(cookies) were very complicate. Processed materials were chiefly made of sticky rice and the material of firewood(oak trees) and the strength of fire(fire burning vigorously and fire turning to ashes) were described.

In order to develop a natural food preservative, UlGeum (Curcuma longa L.) powder was extracted with ethanol, and its antimicrobial activity was investigated. This ethanol extract showed antimicrobial activity against Bacillussubtilis, Escherichiacoli, and Staphylococcus aureus, and the resulting inhibition zones against the microorganisms by the extract (4 mg/disc) were 11, 10, and 8.5 mm, respectively. To test for further food preservation effects, solutions of the extract were added to rice cakes and noodles at concentrations of 0%, 0.25%, 0.50%, 0.75%, and 1.00%, respectively. Microbial growth was less in the UlGeum ethanol extract-added groups than in the control group. In sensory evaluations, there were significant differences among the groups of rice cakes and noodles in terms of color, taste, flavor, chewiness, and overall acceptability (p<0.05), and the 0.5% added groups received significantly higher scores than the other groups. Furthermore, as storage time increased, the sensory scores of the rice cakes and noodles significantly decreased in all groups (p<0.05). These results suggest that UlGeum is effective for increasing the shelf-life of rice cakes and noodles.

Rice is staple grain of our people and at the same time it is major source of income for Korean farmers. But recently various problems in connection with rice arose such as declining consumption etc. for this reason not only government but also related agencies are discussing about expanding vice consumption. This study is an attempt to provide basic data required for developing rice food and method of cooking it as a measure for increasing rice consumption and far this purpose survey has been conducted on primary school students in connection with their level of recognition, preference far rice food as well as their understanding and their consciousness on issues related to this topic. In terms of level of recognition of rice food majority of students which were subjected to this study stated that either they knew names of about 39 types of rice foods shown or had experience of eating them. They also stated in answers to question related to dietary habit that they prefer rice foods. Their reply on taste of rice food was plain and neat. But it was found their level of recognition on our traditional rice foods such as Ssal Dasik (rice cookies), Ssal Jinbyung (rice cakes) and Buggumi (fried rice cakes) etc. was very low. In connection with questions on their understanding of rice and consciousness of problems related to rice it was revealed that more than majority of primary school students in this research had erroneous idea on reason for the need of our effort for expanding rice consumption. Accordingly in order to expand rice consumption it is necessary to develop educational program addressing subjects of cultural and nutritional effect value of rice, effect of rice consumption upon rural economy and its application to school education concurrently with persistent study in order to diversify rice food restaurants and to improve method of cooking.

This study investigated the effect of addition of pumpkin on the physicochemical properties of rice sponge cakes. Water retention capacity(WRC) was lowest in control preparations to which no pumpkin flour was added. WRC increased as more pumpkin flour was added and rice flour with 25% of added pumpkin flour showed a WRC of 89.0%. Similar to WRC, alkaline water retention capacity(AWRC) also increased as more pumpkin flour was added and ranged from 69.7% to 80.7%. As the amount of pumpkin flour added increased, the pH increased. Similar to the sedimentation value, the Pelshenke value also increased as the amount of the added pumpkin flour increased. The gelatinization temperature did not vary significantly between the samples(p<0.05). The midline peak height, which is the height of the peak point from the baseline, showed the same tendency with that of the midline peak time, but was not significantly different between samples(p<0.05). Volume was decreased as the amount of the added pumpkin flour increased. The weight of the rice sponge cakes showed significant difference increasing with the increasing added pumpkin flour(p<0.05). There was significant difference as the specific loaf volume decreased with the increasing pumpkin flour(p<0.05).

Chapssaltteok is a Korean dessert that consists of glutinous rice cakes filled with sweet bean paste. Emulsifiers and saccharides are used as anti-staling agents in the cakes to increase their shelf life. this is especially necessary for industrialized glutinous rice cakes, such as chapssaltteok. This study was conduvted to evaluate the suppression effects of retrogradation in chapssaltteok under various concentration of saccharides and emulsifiers (SP). Glutinous rice cake was manufactured with a multifunctional extruder, wrapped with polyethylene film, and stored at $4^{\circ}C$ for five days. The texture properties of the samples were assessed using a texture analyzer. The results showed that the addition of 0.5% SP, 15% sucrose, 20% low DE syrup, or 10% maltose effectively for delayed the retrogradation during the storage period.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the retardation effect of commercial wheat flours on starch retrogradation using a model system, the rice cake (garaetteok). Rice cakes were prepared with four different commercial wheat flours in various concentrations (0.1-0.7%). The rice cakes were vacuum-packed and stored for 4 days at room temperature. The rice cakes containing > 0.3% wheat flour were not able to maintain their original appearance due to enzymatic decomposition, whereas the rice cakes containing 0.1% wheat flour did not reveal any retrogradation-retardation effect. Garaetteok containing 0.2% wheat flour maintained its shape well and showed considerably lower hardness than that of the control, thereby demonstrating a retrogradation-retardation effect. The commercial wheat flours clearly showed the retardation effect on starch retrogradation, and thus, it is important to use a proper amount. On the other hand, the retrogradation-retardation effect of the different wheat flours was not significantly altered possibly due to the same origin of wheat grain.

The production of black rice in Korea has been increasing, as more Koreans are tending to blend black rice with medium-grain rice for serving. This increased production creates an opportunity for developing new products. In this study, the properties of sponge cakes produced from a blend of black rice flour (BRF) and wheat flour (WF) are investigated. Black rice sponge cakes (BRSC) were produced with constant process variables (e.g. baking temperature, fermentation time and BRP content (10, 20 & 30%)). Proximate compositions, farinogram, amylogram and extensogram analyses of BRSC were determined by AACC method. BRSC color was expressed to Hunter L, a and b values using a colorimeter. Sensory properties were evaluated by a trained 5-member panel. Moisture contents in BRSC decreased with increasing contents of BRF, while ash and protein contents were increased. Farinograph and amylograph data did not differ significantly between treatments, while extensograph data decreased with increasing BRF contents. With increasing BRF contents, Hunter L value decreased, while Hunter a value increased. When using 20% of BRP, sensory scores of BRSC were the highest in color, flavor and taste. In conclusion, 20% of BRF would be the optimum amount for producing sponge cake with BRP and WF.
