The shelf-life of Yugwa(Busuge) is very short because of the low oxidative stability of soybean oil which is conventionally used as the frying oil of Yugwa base with high porous structures. To identify the possibility of replacing soybean oil with palm oil whose oxidative stability is high, POV(peroxide value), AV(acid value), colorness (L. a and b), hardness and sensory characteristics during storage of the Yugwa base fried with the soybean oil and palm oil stored in the anaerobic packaging or the aerobic packaging at 10 and $30^{\circ}C$ for 75 days were measured. POV and AV of the Yugwa base fried with palm oil were significantly lower than those of Yugwa fried with the soybean oil. Hardness and colorness were not different each other and, sensory evaluation was slightly higher than that fried with soybean oil. Lipid absorption amount was not significantly different between the Yugwa base fried with palm oil and the one fried with soybean oil.

During the traditional production process of yugwa, a Korean traditional oil-puffed snack, three bacterial isolates, 12, 37, and B1 from waxy rice slurry were characterized by using the molecular techniques, and the quality of the yugwa prepared by using three isolates was examined in relation to physical and sensory properties. Isolates 37 and B1 were identified as Lactobacillus sp. by 16S rDNA sequence analysis, while isolate 12 was as Bacillus amyloliquefaciens by gyrA sequence analysis. Waxy rice inoculated with isolate 12 demonstrated the lowest hardness and the highest peak and [mal viscosity. Yugwa prepared from isolate 12-inoculated waxy rice indicated the lowest hardness and the highest volume expansion, the key characteristics of yugwa. This result presents the possibility for the use of a starter in the commercial production of yugwa and other rice-based snacks.

The acid modification of waxy rice starch was conducted to improve the yugwa production process. The intrinsic viscosity, paste viscosity, and differential scanning calorimetry characteristics of acid modified starch were measured, and bandaegi and yugwa prepared from acid modified starch were evaluated. The intrinsic viscosities of acid thinned starches were 1.48, 1.27, 1.15, and 0.91 mL/g after reaction times of 1, 2, 3, and 4 hr, respectively. The gelatinization enthalpy was reduced from 16.3 J/g in native starch to 15.8, 15.3, 14.7, and 14.5 J/g in acid thinned starches as the time of acid thinning increased. The peak viscosity and final viscosity decreased with increasing the time of acid thinning, but the pasting temperature was slightly increased in acid thinned starches. The hardness of bandaegi from acid thinned starches under high pressure greatly decreased relative to the control, typical yugwa. Yugwa from acid thinned starch under high pressure maintained a homogeneous structure containing tiny and uniform cells similar to that of native waxy rice starch used for typical yugwa. Acid thinning under high pressure appears to be a good alternative to the existing steeping process for better yugwa quality.

This study was performed to analyze the JAR (Just-About-Right) Rating and CATA (Check-All-That-Apply) Method for commercial Yugwa (Korean oil pastry products) containing Baeknyeoncho (Opuntia ficus-indica var. saboten). The survey was conducted with 50 participants, and five kinds of Yugwa samples (Control, B-YG, B-RY, B-WY and B-GB) were used. According to the results of the study with these samples, the B-RY sample received the highest score in 'Try again (6.30/9)' and 'Recommend (6.24/9)'. The Control Sample, which was the traditional Yugwa, received the second highest score (Try again: 5.62/9, Recommend: 5.70/9). The liking attributes for these samples were related to eating convenience, familiar taste, traditional type and size. These findings suggest that the factors to be considered in the development of commercial Yugwa are the maintenance of traditional taste and familiarity in an easy-to-eat size for consumers.

To improve the shortcomings of baked Yugwa 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0% natural ind igestible materials,- (gellan gum, glucomannan and carrageenan) were each treated with glutinous rice-baked Yugwa was processed, and quality imprpvements were deducted. Baked Yugwa with natural additives,- (gellan gum, glucomannan and carrageenan) was compared,- to additional test results with sample 1.5%(w/w) additives,- The one showing the highest preference from the sensory test was the acid number reference group at $2.19{\pm}0.42$, while the sample groups,- with different additives, were lower than the reference group by $1.48{\pm}0.39$ to $1.67{\pm}0.68$. The peroxide number reference group showed the highest preference of $49.34{\pm}0.42$, whereas the sample groups, with different additives, showed lower preferences than the reference group by $36.72{\pm}$0.42 compared to the sample group of glucomannan 1.5% (w/w), $32.45{\pm}0.59$ compared to the sample group of gellan gum 1.5%(w/w), and $28.65{\pm}0.56$ compared to the sample group of carrageenan 1.5% (w/w). According to the preference test targeting employees of Korean cake, manufacturers, there was no significant difference in color and flavor among all groups, whereas the sample group of carrageenan 1.5% (w/w) showed the highest scores in items of taste, texture and overall-preference, and also sample groups of glucomannan 1.5% (w/w) and gellan gum 1.5% (w/w) scored higher than the reference group. Baked Yugwa with 1.5% (w/w) additives of carrageenan, glucomannan and gellan gum have higher marketability by decreasing deterioration caused by oxidation of existing deep fried Yugwa and by improving the solid texture of baked Yugwa.

In order to determine the optimal condition for making Yugwa (one of the Korean traditional cake) the textures in various conditions were studied by sensory test and texturometer. The changes of texture and fat content in the cake were measured along the period of storage. The results were as follows: (1) The cake were classified in 3 groups according to the leavening agent used in the procedure, namely refined rice wine (W), distilled liquor (L) and yeast group (Y). It was the refined rice wine group that had been 'the best' by sensory test. Its brittleness $(1.40{\pm}0.27)$ was higher than those of L and Y. (2) Crispness measured by bend test prior to soaking into syrup were 1.19, 1.23 and 1.63 in W, L, Y, respectively. (3) Chemical composition (%dry basis)) of Yugwa leavened with W included 9.3 of moisture, 1.3 crude protein, 6.7 crude lipid, 66.4 carbohydrate and 16.3 crude ash. (4) Brittleness decreased gradually along the period of storage while the rancidity increased. From the 40th days of storage, the change of brittleness and rancidity were marked as well as the scores of sensory test decreased significantly. (5) Content of linoleic acid in Yugwa decreased along the period of storage from 52.5% of total fatty acid on the first day to 10.9% on the 50th days Main fatty acids in Yugwa were oleic acid, palmitic acid and stearic acid, all of which were also decreased in content along the period of storage. One remarkable change was the appearance of an unknown fatty acid with 19.54 of retention time, in 50% of total fatty acid, on the 50th day of storage.

This study investigated the antioxidant effect of Taraxacumofficinale on the qualitycharacteristics of Yugwa during storage. Total polyphenol content was higher than total flavonoid content. DPPH radical scavenging activity and antioxidative index of Taraxacum officinale ethanol extracts were significantly (p<0.05) lower compared with those of Vit.C, whereas they were similar with those of BHA. The L, a, and b levels of Yugwa significantly (p<0.05) decreased with increasing amount of Taraxacum officinale powder; 6% Taraxacum officinale powder showed the lowest L and b levels. Hardness was unaffected by Taraxacum officinale content during the storage period. Brittleness of Yugwa was significantly (p<0.05) lower in control, 1.5%, and 6% Taraxacum officinale powder, whereas 3% Taraxacum officinale powder showed no significant differences during storage. Peroxide value significantly decreased in 3% and 6% Taraxacum officinale powders compared to those of control and 1.5% Taraxacum officinale powder after 4 weeks of storage. Taste, flavor, and crispness showed significant (p<0.05) differences according to Taraxacum officinale concentration. In conclusion, addition of 3~6% Taraxacum officinale powder provides beneficial effects in terms of storage life of Yugwa without any detrimental effects on quality characteristics.

This study was to evaluate effects of agar, sodium alginate and carrageenan on quality of Yugwa(Busuge) base. In the base preparation agar, sodium alginate and carrageenan were added 0.0, 0.1, 0.5, 1.0 and 3.0%(w/w), respectively. Volume, shape, hardness, color(L, a and b value), crude lipid content and sensory evaluation(taste and crispness) of the Yugwa base was measured. Volume of the base was higher than control in case of 0.1-0.5%(w/w) agar, sodium alginate and carrageenan, of which sodium alginate was the highest. Shapes were similar to control. Hardness and crude lipid content was decreased proportional to amount of addition of the three seesweed polysaccharides, the whiteness(L-value) was increased but the yellowness(a-value) and the redness(b-value) decreased. Taste and crispness were increased in the case of 0.1-1.0%(w/w) of sodium alginate, but agar and carrageenan decreased.

The purpose of this study is to develope a HACCP model for Korean traditional cookies. Prerequisite program and HACCP plan were proposed and analyzed for Yugwa. After analysing hazards of raw material and manufacturing processes, CCP, CL and control methods were presented. Pathogenic microorganisms were detected at the Korean traditional cookies plant. It gave a clue that general sanitation control procedures should be implemented for safe traditional cookie products. Hazard analysis of raw materials and processing of Korean traditional cookies, determination of critical control points and critical limits at the plant lead to present a model of HACCP plan. Implementation of HACCP can be carried out using a HACCP model. Critical control point of Yugwa production were determined as frying process. Biological and chemical hazards were presented for CCP determination.

This study was to examine Kwa-Jung-ryu, a traditional Korean confectionery, made by head families. We examined the materials and recipes of Kwa-Jung-ryu, which were classified into Yumilgwa, Yugwa, Jeonggwa, Dasikgwa, Yeot-Gangjeong, Dang (Yeot), and others. There were 13 head families that introduced Kwa-Jung-ryu, two each from Gyeonggi-do, Jeolla-do, and Chuncheong-do, and seven from Gyeongsang-do. There are 33 types of Kwa-Jung-ryu, which averages to about 2.5 types per family. But the Pungsan Ryu, Yeoju Lee, and Andong Kwon families introduced the most Kwa-Jung-ryu with 5 types each. The most popular types of Kwa-Jung-ryu were Yumilgwa, introduced by 7 families (Yakgwa by 6 and Maejakgwa by 1), then Jeonggwa by 6 families (Jeonggwa by 3, Pyeon-gang by 1, and Jeonggwa and Pyeon-gang by 2), and Dasikgwa and other Kwa-Jung-ryu by 5 families (Gotgam-mari by 4 and Seopsansam by 1). Classifying Kwa-Jung-ryu by recipe, the most frequently introduced were 8 types of Jeonggwa-ryu, 7 types of Yumilgwa, 5 types of Dasikgwa, 3 types of Yeot-Gangjeong and Dang (Yeot), and 2 types of Yugwa.
