The effect of soybean addition to the preparation of Jeung-Pyun(Korean fermented rice cake) and the fermentational characteristics of Jeung-Pyun dough were determined. Jeung-Pyun dough composed of rice 100g, soybean 20g, water 40g, salt 0.8g, sugar 15g and Tak-ju 30g was fermented for up to 20hours. the numbers of total microbes, yeasts and lactic acid bacteria in the dough during fermen-tation increased rapidly during 5 hours of fermentation, but Leuconostoc mesenteroides during 7 hours of fermentation, Generally, there were many more microbes in the Jeung-Pyun dough with soybeans than in the Jeung-Pyun dough with rice. The volume of 7 hour fermented Jeung-Pyun was most massive, especially in the soybean added Jeung-Pyun. 1% dextran-added rice Jeung-Pyun, the volume of steamed cake was increased more than that of rice Jeung-Pyun, but is was not as bulky as in the soybean-added cake. In the sensory evaluation of the test cake products, the 7 hour fermented cake was preferred by nost. As for instrumental characteristics, the 7 hour feremented Jeung-Pyun showed the lowest values for hardness and elasticity, brittleness and chewiness. The rice Jeung-Pyun showed were stored at 2$0^{\circ}C$ the hardness, brittleness and cohesiveness of rice Jeung-Pyun were respectively increased rapidly after 5 days of storage. The cohesiveness, elasticity, brittleness, chewiness, gumminess of both rice Jeung-Pyun and soybean-added Jeung-Pyun were decreased with storage time.

Imwonshibyukji is a copying manuscript written around 1825, the 27th year of king Soonjo of the Chosun Period. It is a massive home encyclopedia of total 52 books and 100 volumes. It was quoted from many Chinese literatures The unpublished 'Jeongjoji'of its 17-20th volumes was analyzed to study the cooking methods on the Korean rice cakes (dduck) and studied for the degree of their usefulness and medical values in the light of the cooking and processing science. The book introduced 6 kinds of Korean rice cake: sirudduck (steamed rice cake), chinundduck (steamed and struck rice cake), zizinundduck (small oil fried rice cake), danggui (steamed rice cake mixed with rice power and honey), hondon (=danja: boiled and stuffed rice cake) and butu (fermented rice cake), all of which were composed of total 64 items. The main materials fur the Korean rice cake were as follows: sirudduck and butu were nonwaxy rice powder, chinundduct dinggui and hondon were glutinous rice powder, and zizinundduck was wheat flour. The side material was mainly natural food with the effect of a medicine. The literatures quoted in Imwonshibyukji are as follows: 4 Korean books including Ongheejabji were quoted total 28 times (41.5%), 5 Chinese books including Junsengpaljeon were quoted total 35times (52.2%), and I Japanese book Whawhansamjedohoi was quoted total 4 times (6.0%). The Korean rice cakes quoted in the Korean literature so far exist but the Chinese ones no longer exist. In the comparative analysis of Imwonshibyukji and other contemporary literatures, Chosunmoossangsinsikyorijebub was the most similar one to the book among others.

Demand for a rice cake, a popular traditional food in Korea, is rising, but its industrial-scale production is extremely difficult due to its short shelf-life caused by starch retrogradation and microbial spoilage. By means of the sourdough fermentation technique, we attempt to develop rice cakes with a longer shelf-life. Heterofermentative lactic acid bacteria (Weissella koreensis HO20, Weissella kimchii HO22) isolated from kimchi were used to ferment wet-milled rice flour for their abilities to produce exopolysaccharides and to inhibit the microbial spoilage of rice cakes. After 24 hr of fermentation at $25^{\circ}C$, viable cell counts in rice dough increased from $10^6$ CFU/g to $10^8$ CFU/g and total titratable acidity increased from 0.05% to 0.20%, whereas pH decreased from 6.5 to 5.1. Fermented rice flour showed significantly lower peak, trough, and final viscosities as well as breakdown and setback viscosities measured by rapid viscoanalyzer. Both lactic acid bacteria showed in vitro antifungal activity against Penicillium crustosum isolated from rice cakes. The antifungal activity remained constant after the treatments with heat, proteinase K and trypsin, but fell significantly by increase of pH. Rice cakes made of fermented rice flour were found to retard mycelial growth of P. crustosum. The degree of retrogradation as measured by the hardness of the rice cake was significantly reduced by the use of fermented rice flour. The results suggest that use of fermented rice flour has a beneficial role in retarding starch retrogradation and in preventing fungal growth, hence extending the shelf-life of rice cakes.

${\alpha}$-amylase was investigated as an antistaling agent for Backsulgie, a traditional rice cake. Rice powder was mixed with ${\alpha}$-amylase, fermented for 2 hr at 37$^{\circ}C$, and steamed for 20 min. Rice cake was stored at room temperature or freezer for 4 days, and analyzed to determined the changes of chemical and sensory properties. When ${\alpha}$-amylase was added to rice cake, the content of reducing sugars and the yellow color of the cake were increased, and the water activity was decreased. Soft and moist textural properties were apparent in ${\alpha}$-amylase-added rice cakes by sensory evaluation. X-ray diffraction showed a V pattern after 4 days of storage which indicated the starch of rice cake was not retrograded. However, there was no significant difference in moisture content between enzyme-treated and non-treated rice cakes. Above results suggest that ${\alpha}$-amylase treatment produced dextrins which consequently bound with water and inhibited the retrogradation of rice cake.

Jeung-Pyun is a traditional Korean fermented rice cake leavened by yeast. To develop a functional Jeung-Pyun, mulberry leaf(ML) were added to the rice at the levels of 0, 2, 4, 6, 8%, respectively. Physicochemical, sensory, texture and surface characteristics of Jeung-Pyun were examined. The specific volumes of all the Jeung-Pyun's with ML were significantly lower than that of control(0% ML) and 4% ML sample showed the highest volume among them. The pH of ML Jeung-Pyun batters decreased with fermentation time. Overall quality of Jeung-Pyun with ML obtained lower value than the control. Among the texture properties measured with rheometer, hardness, cohesiveness, gumminess and brittleness of ML Jeung-Pyun decreased according to the amount ML added and springiness was not significantly different. The surface structure by SEM showed that Jeung-Pyun added with 4% ML had the largest and the most uniform air cells. In conclusion, the most acceptable concentrations of ML on the basis of overall quality in sensory evaluation and physicochemical characteristics were 2% or 4%.

This study compared recipes of Korean Traditional steamed dishes, Noodles, Rice cake & Confectionary in Choi's Recipe ("Choi's Eumsikbeop") with those in other literatures written during the mid-Joseon Dynasty. Through this work, it aimed to explore the value of Choi's Recipe ("Choi's Eumsikbeop") in the history of cooking and the meanings of its recipes. Choi's Recipe ("Choi's Eumsikbeop") contains recipes for a total of 20 kinds of food. Specifically, there are seven kinds of Fermented dishes (kimchi (6), and salted fermented food (1)), four kinds of Steamed dishes, seven kinds of Confectionary and Sweet (rice cake (4), jeonggwa (1), and dang (2)), and two kinds of Noodles (dumpling (1), and noodle (1)). Among them, the steamed dishes revealed characteristics of 17th-century food as in other cooking books, and some of them utilized unique ingredients handed down only through head families. Moreover, some recipes showed different cooking methods using similar materials. This suggests the originality of the recipes in this cooking book.

Changes were evaluated in chemical and textural properties of Jeung-pyun (fermented rice cake) altered by the particle size of rice flour, amount of added Tak-ju (Korean traditional unrefined liquor) and sucrose, fermentation time and temperature, and steaming time. Particle size of polished rice flour did not affect the volume expansion during fermentation of rice dough by Tak-ju. The maximum expanded volume was noted in the dough, containing 20% sucrose (rice flour vs sucrose = 5 : 1, w/w), fermented at $35^{\circ}C$ for 3 hours. Any volume expansion was not occurred in rice dough without sucrose. The highest value of reducing power and gelatinization degree were observed in the rice dough with Tak-ju (rice flour vs Tak-ju = 2 : 1, w/v), while the lowest blue value was revealed in that case. Steaming followed after fermentation made the smaller volume of bulk by $45{\sim}50%$ of the initial volume be showed just after fermentation. Jeung-pyun prepared under the conditions could give maximum expanded volume by fermentation showed the best overall quality by sensory and textual properties.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the quality characteristics of Jeung-Pyhn by the addition of chitosan-oligosaccharide (COS, Chitoligo-L). Jeung-Pyun is a traditional Korean fermented rice cake leavened by yeast. To develop a functional Jeung-Pyun, COS was added to the rice at the levels of 0, 2, 4 and 6% of the 2-hour-soaked rice. Physicochemical, sensory, rheological and inner structure characteristics of Jeung-Pyun were examined. The pH values of COS Jeung-Pyun batters were decreased with fermentation time. In sensory evaluation, the uniformity of the grain and overall quality of Jeung-Pyun added with 2% COS had the highest score among the samples. In He rheological properties measured with rheometer, the hardness of Jeung-Pyun with COS was higher than control. Cohesiveness of Jeung-Pyun added with 4% COS and gumminess, brittleness and springiness of Jeung-Pyun added with 2% COS were the highest among the samples. The inner structure observed by scanning electron microscope showed that Jeung-Pyun added with 2% COS had the largest and the most uniform air cells. In conclusion, Jeung-Pyun with 2% COS had positive effects on the qualify of Jeung-Pyun.

Ethanol production by the simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) of low-value rice wine cake (RWC) without cooking was investigated. RWC is the filtered solid waste of fermented rice wine mash and contains 53% raw starch. For the SSF, the RWC slurry was mixed with the raw-starch-digesting enzyme of Rhizopus sp. and yeast, where the yeast strain was selected from 300 strains and identified as Saccharomyces cerevisiae KV25. The highest efficiency (94%) of ethanol production was achieved when the uncooked RWC slurry contained 23.03% starch. The optimal SSF conditions were determined as 1.125 units of the raw-starch-digesting enzyme per gram of RWC, a fermentation temperature of $30^{\circ}C$, slurry pH of 4.5, 36-h-old seeding culture, initial yeast cell number of $2{\times}10^7$ per ml of slurry, 17 mM of urea as the nitrogen additive, 0.25 mM of $Cu^{2+}$ as the metal ion additive, and a fermentation time of 90 h. Under these optimal conditions, the ethanol production resulting from the SSF of the uncooked RWC slurry was improved to 16.8% (v/v) from 15.1% (v/v) of pre-optimization.
