The purpose of this study was to develop a rice education program and rice cooking practice for university students majoring in foodservice and nutrition. To achieve this purpose, 2 rounds of delphi survey was used by convenience sampling including total of 27 experts in the food and nutrition industry. Below are the findings. First, both the importance and suitability for macro-theme of theory education were in the following order: 'nutrition and health of rice', 'characteristics of rice in food science', 'history and culture of rice' and 'the consumption of rice. Second, the history and culture of rice(traditional culture related to rice, and the origin & history of rice), nutrition and health of rice(main nutritive components and efficacy of rice and prevention of disease), characteristics of rice as food(processed-products of rice and storage, the structure of rice), and the consumption of rice(current status of rice production and consumption) were found to be suitable for the micro-theme of theory education. Third, the education theme for rice cooking practice was determined. Barley sprout song-pyeon and beet song-pyeon were chosen for rice cake. For bread, coconut & walnut muffin, tofu & bean muffin, citron bread, red bean & sweet persimmon pound cake, and sweet potato bread were selected. Dong-rae-pa-jeon, Kimch-jeon-byeong, fried sweet potato fried shrimp were developed for the main dishes.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the instrumental and sensory characteristics of coffee-sulgi(rice cake) with different ratios of the ingredients; coffee(30$m\ell$, 40$m\ell$ and 50$m\ell$ of espresso and instant coffee) and sugar (50g and 75g). A commercial scheme for coffee-sulgi was also investigated. The optimal mixing ratios of coffee-sulgi with added espresso were rice flour 500g, salt 5g, espresso 40$m\ell$ and sugar 75g. Those of coffee-sulgi with added instant coffee were the same. As the sensory intensities of coffee aroma, coffee taste, sweetness, moistness, elasticity, color acceptance for coffee-sulgi and overall acceptance for quality were enhanced, the overall preference for coffee-sulgi was increased. In addition, overall preference was positively correlated with adhesiveness and a-value of instrumental characteristics, but negatively correlated with cohesiveness and L-value. In coffee-sulgi with added espresso, intensities of coffee aroma, browniness, coffee taste, color acceptance for coffee-sulgi, overall acceptance for quality and overall preference were higher than those of coffee-sulgi with added instant coffee. In this point, gourmet coffee-sulgi with added espresso and universal coffee-sulgi with added instant coffee could be differentiated in the coffee-sulgi markets. In conclusion, this study of coffee-sulgi and the differential scheme for the market will be useful to expand rice processing, enhance the intake of rice cakes and provide a reference for the commercialization of rice cakes.

In this study, we optimized the production of ${\gamma}-polyglutamic$ acid (PGA) in soybean milk cakes (SMC) fermented with Bacillus subtilis GT-D and B. subtilis KU-A, to be utilized as a functional food ingredient. PGA production was dependent upon the glutamate content, fermentation time, and type of Bacillus sp. The consistencies of the SMCs fermented by B. subtilis GT-D and B. subtilis KU-A were highest after 36 hr of fermentation, and then decreased gradually. The SMC fermented by B. subtilis KU-A had a higher consistency than the SMC fermented by B. subtilis GT-D. In the presence of 10% defatted soy flour (DFS), 5% glutamate in the SMC was efficiently converted into polyglutamic acid (PGA) for 24 hr, indicating a conversion yield above 96%, but its conversion then decreased with higher concentrations of glutamate. The soluble solid content (mucilage) of the SMC fermented with B. subtilis KU-A was 9.5%(w/w), and composed of 65.6% PGA (Mw 1,536 kDa) and some polysaccharides. However, the SMC fermented with B. subtilis GT-D had a mucilage content of 7.8%(w/w), and was composed of 66.4% PGA (Mw 1,409 kDa), 11.5% levan, and some polysaccharides. The viscoelastic values of the mucilage obtained using B. subtilis KU-A were much higher than those of mucilage obtained using B. subtilis GT-D. Also, the G'-value (elastic modulus) was higher than the G"-value (viscous modulus).

Effect of baking on the physicochemical and sensory properties was investigated using a model system of sponge cakes incorporated with Ecklonia cava powder as a value-added food ingredient. Ecklonia cava powder was incorporated into cake batter at 5 levels (0%, 2%, 4%, 6%, and 8%, w/w) by replacing equivalent amount of wheat flour. After appropriate mixing, sponge cakes were baked at ${185^{\circ}C}$ for 20 min in an oven. The baked cakes were cooled to room temperature for 1 hr prior to all measurements. The specific gravity of batter increased gradually with increase in Ecklonia cava powder content. The specific volume of sponge cakes tended to decrease while baking loss increased. Volume of the cakes decreased with higher amount of Ecklonia cava powder in the formulation as indicated by the decrease in the volume index. Sponge cakes became darker and firmer with increase in Ecklonia cava powder content (p<0.05). Color, seaweeds smell, and taste were distinctively classified by the sensory analyses (p<0.05). Finally, correlation analysis indicated that level of Ecklonia cava powder incorporation was well-correlated with all the physicochemical and sensory properties studied except for $a^{*}$-value and sensory firmness (p<0.05, p<0.01 or p<0.001).

The baking performance of yacon powder as a value-added food ingredient was investigated in a model system of sponge cakes. Yacon powder was incorporated into cake batter at 5 levels (0, 10, 20, and 30%, w/w) by replacing equivalent amount of wheat flour. The specific gravity of batter increased significantly while pH decreased significantly with the increase in yacon powder content (p < 0.05). The specific volume and moisture content of sponge cakes decreased while baking loss increased (p < 0.05). Volume of the cakes decreased with higher amount of yacon powder in the formulation as indicated by the decrease in the volume index. The symmetry index was not affected by the amount of yacon powder in the formulation (p > 0.05). Sponge cakes became darker and firmer with increase in yacon powder content (p < 0.05). Finally, the consumer acceptance test indicated that incorporation of yacon powder up to 20% in the formulation of sponge cakes did not significantly influence the consumers' overall acceptability.

This article examines the types and cooking methods for tteok (Korean rice cake) according to its sub-ingredients, as recorded in 18 old literatures of the Joseon dynasty (1392~1909). The sub-ingredients used in tteok during the Joseon dynasty were categorized into flowers, fruits, vegetables, Korean typical medicinal plants, and others. In the early, middle, and late eras of the Joseon dynasty, one, six, and 14 kinds of tteok were prepared using flowers as the sub-ingredient and two, seven, and 32 kinds of tteok were prepared using fruits, respectively. Three, seven, and 38 kinds of Tteok were prepared using vegetables as the sub-ingredient, while there were three, five and 15 kinds tteok prepared using Korean medicinal plants, respectively. One, five, and 13 kinds of tteok were prepared using other ingredients such as fish and seogi mushrooms in the early, middle, and late eras of the Joseon dynasty, respectively. The types of sub-ingredients and the resulting types of tteok increased throughout the Joseon dynasty, indicating that flowers and vegetables were preferred the most among tteok sub-ingredients. Tteoks using flower as the sub-ingredient, whajeon, were mostly jijin-tteok. The types of tteok and cooking methods using other sub-ingredients were discussed in terms of the type of sub-ingredients and their treatment to prepare tteok. The sub-ingredients were mixed with flour, which was the main ingredient for preparing tteok, or ground and shredded to prepare gomul for decorating and stuffing tteok, respectively. It seemed that the appearance and taste of tteok varied, thereby resulting in nutrient supplementation as the kinds of sub-ingredients increased throughout the Joseon dynasty. We expect that the recipes and ingredients as well as the cooking methods recorded in these old articles will contribute to those looking for a healthy life and, furthermore, to the globalization of tteok.

Castella sponge cake was prepared by partially replacing wheat flour with Chungkukjang, a Korean fermented soybean. The physico-chemical, textural and sensory characteristics were then investigated. Specific volume and expansion ratio decreased with increasing Chungkukjang content. The addition of Chungkukjang decreased the moisture content and increased the protein content of castella. Color determination showed addition of Chungkukjang darkened the internal color of castella, probably due to browning caused by the Maillard reaction. Castella with 20 or 30% Chungkukjang had a higher textural hardness than other castellas. A sensory panel perceived that the external and internal color of castella darkened with Chungkukjang substitution. When Chungkukjang was added at or above 20%, castella had a weaker sweet flavor, a stronger roasted flavor, and less lightness and softness than other castellas as perceived by the sensory panels. Up to 30% of the wheat flour could be replaced by Chungkukjang without diminishing acceptability.

Jeung-pyun, a very popular fermented rice cake consumed in Korea, consists mainly of rice, rice wine (Tak-Ju), and sugar. The effects of addition of different beans on the quality characteristics of the batter and Jeung-pyun were investigated. Six different beans were mixed with the rice flour at levels of 5% and 10% of the rice flour weight, respectively. The addition of Back-tae, Huk-tae, Sori-tae, which are types of soybeans, and black gram significantly increased the batter volume and viscosity. However, the fermented Back-tae (Cheongguk-jang) was not effective at increasing the batter volume and viscosity. The buffering effect of the beans was very significant on the fermented batter, and the decrease in pH of the fermented batter made with beans was less than that of the control batter without beans. Additions of the soybeans and Cheongguk-jang were most effective for the buffering effect in the fermented batter. Although the Back-tae, Huk tae, and Sori-tae were different colors and shapes, they were all soybeans and exhibited similar effects on the Jeung-pyun batter. However, the effects of the beans were not significant on the Jeung-pyun. The volume and moisture content of the Jeung-pyun made with beans were not significantly different from the volume and moisture of the Jeung-pyun made without beans. The above results suggest that the addition of different soybeans, mung beans, and black gram significantly effects on the properties of Jeung-pyun batter, but not Jeung-pyun itself.

Shinuncho(Angelica keiskei koidz)sulgi is a kind of steamed rice cake by an earthenware steamer. I made Shinuncho-sulgi samples with different amounts of Angelica keiskei koidz - powder and different types of sugars (sugar or honey). The more Angelica keiskei koidz powder it has the bitter it tastes but the lower sweetness, moistness and chewiness it has. Samples with honey have higher sweetness, moistness and chewiness but lower bitterness and after-swallowing than ones with sugar. Color is Shinsuncho-sulgi with $3\%$ of Angelica keiskei koidz - powder and honey has been judged to have the best quality. Flavor and Overall-acceptability are Shinsuncho-sulgi with $2\%$ of Amge;oca keiskei koidz - powder and honey has been judged to have the best quality. The more Angelica keiskei koidz powder it has the higher hardness but the significantly cohesiveness, springiness, gumminess, and chewiness it has. Samples with honey have higher hardness, springiness, cohesiveness, gumminess and chewiness, but lower adhesiveness, than ones with sugar. The moisture content of Shinsuncho-sulgi is $35.89\~37.08\%$. Samples with honey have higher b-value but lower L-value and a-value than ones with sugar. Based on the results of the study, the best ratio of ingredients is as follow non-glutinous flour 196g, Angelica keiskei koidz powder $2\%$ (4g), honey 35ml, salt 2g, water 20ml and $37.08\%$ of moisture content.
