Yukwa(Korean traditional puffed rice snack) puffed by vegetable oil was evaluated its shelf-life and monitored its physicochemical changes during long term storage. And air puffing instead of oil was tested for substitution of puffing medium. The shelf-life of oil puffed Yukwa was less than 4 weeks at $30^{\circ}C$ by peroxide value and negligible changes in physical texture was detected after 9 weeks storge. There was a possibility to apply air puffing method for Yukwa making and its optimum temperature was around $250^{\circ}C$. Air puffed Yukwa was a little less expansion rate, same level of hardness and high brittleness compared with oil puffed . Sensory evaluation of air puffed Yukwa was as same as air puffed in odour, firmness and texture but overall taste was less score probably causing by oil used which need a impovement for air puffed Yukwa. No differences in structure of both Yukwa observed by SEM was showed.

Cases of inflammatory bowel diseases including ulcerative colitis are increasing in Korea and development of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are widely investigated. Natural products with anti-inflammatory properties are rising as safe candidates for NSAIDs. The extract of turmeric or puffed turmeric mixed with herbal extract (goji berry, liquorice, lycium root, and dong quai) was treated to acute colitis mice by oral gavage. The symptoms of colitis, i.e., body weight loss, fecal score, and shortened colon length, were significantly attenuated by puffed turmeric extract with the herbal extract. Non-puffed turmeric extract with herbal extract, however, exhibited a very marginal recovery. Tissue culture supernatant of colons further revealed that both puffed turmeric and non-puffed turmeric extracts with herbal extract suppressed pro-inflammatory cytokine production at a comparable level. These results indicate that puffing is a simple and promising process of turmeric for enhancement of anti-inflammatory properties.

Corn starch was extruded under relatively low shear, high moisture, and low temperature. Puffing of corn starch dough was induced by injecting $CO_2$gas in the range from 0MPa to 0.09MPa. Piece density and compressive modulus for puffed corn starch were decreased by increasing the injection pressure to 0.07MPa, and increased above 0.07MPa. the microstructure of corn starch puffed with $CO_2$gas showed thick cell size, compared with those puffed with steam. RVA paste viscosity curves of corn starch puffed with $CO_2$had different patterns from those puffed with steam, probably resulted from partial gelatinization of starch. Water absorption and solubility were not significantly changed by $CO_2$injection pressure, but the average degree of polymerization was reduced by higher $CO_2$injection. The water absorption, water solubility, and the average degree of polymerization for corn starch puffed with $CO_2$were significantly lower than those puffed with steam.

The effects of pellet moisture content on physical properties (expansion ratio, density and breaking strength) of vacuum-puffed Yukwa (non-oil puffed Yukwa) were investigated in this study. The Yukwa was made from the waxy rice steeped at 25 and $30^{\circ}C$ for 3, 5 and 10 days with pellet drying times (6, 8 and 10.5 hr). As the drying time increased from 6 to 10.5 hr at $50^{\circ}C$, the highest value of pellet moisture content (29.4%) was found in the samples made from the steeped waxy rice at $25^{\circ}C$ for 5 days after 6 hr drying, while the lowest value (16.3%) was found at $25^{\circ}C$ for 3 days after 10.5 hr drying. Both redness and yellowness values of vacuum-puffed Yukwa increased as the drying time increased. The expansion ratio of Yukwa was greatly affected by drying time, ranging from 2.07 (26.8% pellet moisture content) to 7.01 (24.0% pellet moisture content). From the data, it can be concluded that the pellet moisture content had a significant influence on the physical characteristics of vacuum-puffed Yukwa. With vacuum puffing condition of 3 min heating and 2 min puffing, the pellets with about 25% moisture content showed higher expansion ratio, and lower density and breaking strength.

Yukwa samples, made with additions of 0, 10, 20, and 30% Rubus coreanus Miquel extract, were puffed by different puffing methods(convection oven, microwave oven, and fryer) and were then examined for quality characteristics such as moisture content, expansion rate, color, hardness, and sensory qualities, in order to determine the optimal ratio of Rubus coreanus Miquel extract in the formulation and the optimal expansion of Yukwa. The moisture contents of Yukwa base increased as the level of Rubus coreanus Miquel extract increased. And the Yukwa puffed by convection had higher moisture than the samples puffed by microwave oven or frying, with the exception of the sample containing 20% Rubus coreanus Miquel extract. When comparing the expansion rates of samples, no significant differences were found between the control and extract-containing samples puffed by convection, microwave, and frying methods, respectively. However, the sample puffed by frying had the highest expansion rate, whereas the convection-, microwave-puffed samples showed no significant differences. In the convection-, microwave-, and fryer-puffed samples, lightness and yellowness decreased, but redness increased, as the level of Rubus coreanus Miquel extract increased. And the sample puffed by microwave oven had greater lightness as compared to the samples puffed by convection and frying. In terms of hardness, no significant differences were found the control and extract-containing samples puffed by convection and microwave methods. However, hardness was maximal in the sample puffed by convection and lowest in the sample puffed by frying, in which it increased according to the addition of Rubus coreanus Miquel extract. In the consumer acceptance evaluations and characteristics intensity rating tests, the samples puffed using convection and microwave methods showed higher scores for the majority of evaluated characteristics as compared to the samples puffed by frying. And the samples containing Rubus coreanus Miquel extract obtained fairly good scores. In conclusion, the results indicate that additions of 10$\sim$20% Rubus coreanus Miquel extract are optimal for Yukwa that is puffed by convection and microwave methods, as this range provides good physiological properties and reasonably high overall consumer acceptability.

Background: Explosive puffing can induce changes in the chemical, nutritional, and sensory quality of red ginseng. The antioxidant properties of ethanolic extracts of red ginseng and puffed red ginseng were determined in bulk oil and oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions. Methods: Bulk oils were heated at $60^{\circ}C$ and $100^{\circ}C$ and O/W emulsions were treated under riboflavin photosensitization. In vitro antioxidant assays, including 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhudrazyl, 2,2'-azinobis-3-ethyl-benzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid, ferric reducing antioxidant power, total phenolic content, and total flavonoid content, were also performed. Results: The total ginsenoside contents of ethanolic extract from red ginseng and puffed red ginseng were 42.33 mg/g and 49.22 mg/g, respectively. All results from above in vitro antioxidant assays revealed that extracts of puffed red ginseng had significantly higher antioxidant capacities than those of red ginseng (p < 0.05). Generally, extracts of puffed red and red ginseng had high antioxidant properties in riboflavin photosensitized O/W emulsions. However, in bulk oil systems, extracts of puffed red and red ginseng inhibited or accelerated rates of lipid oxidation, depending on treatment temperature and the type of assay used. Conclusion: Although ethanolic extracts of puffed red ginseng showed stronger antioxidant capacities than those of red ginseng when in vitro assays were used, more pro-oxidant properties were observed in bulk oils and O/W emulsions.

The effect of puffing conditions on the physical properties and sensory evaluations of a puffed snack (ppeongtuigi) made of purple sweet potato flour was investigated. The snacks consisted of coated artificial rice with purple sweet potato flour with water, tempered to 7%, 9% and 11% moisture. The coated material was puffed at 236, 241, or $246^{\circ}C$ for 4, 5, or 6 s. The $L^*$ value decreased as the heating time increased. The $a^*$ and $b^*$ values, specific volume, and hardness increased with increasing heating temperature and heating time. Puffed snacks produced under conditions of higher moisture (7%), higher heating temperature ($246^{\circ}C$), or longer heating time (5 s) showed high scores for appearance, color, taste, and overall acceptability in sensory evaluations.

This study was conducted to improve functionality and nutrition for the utilization of ginseng. Ginseng powder pellets containing various moisture contents (1%, 4%, 7% or 10%) were prepared and mixed with rice as 1:1 (w/w). Then, samples were puffed at 180, 190, 200, 210 or 220℃. The puffed ginseng snacks were analyzed for appearance, color, hardness, specific volume and principal component analysis. For appearance analysis, when snack samples containing ginseng pellets with moisture content of 7% or higher were puffed at 200℃, they showed unbroken round shape. For color analysis, the values of L* and a* tended to increase as the moisture content of pellet and puffing temperature increased. As the water content of pellet and the pumping temperature increased, the specific volume of the puffed ginseng snack increased, while the hardness of the sample decreased. In conclusion, all results supposed that the processing conditions including moisture of pellet and puffing temperature had influenced on the physicochemical properties of puffed ginseng snack.

This study examined the optimal mixture ratio of rice gruel supplemented with puffed rice by mixture design. The quality characteristics of rice gruel samples were examined according to mixture ratios at eleven experimental points. The high soluble solid content and viscosity of gruel samples were significantly dependent on rice (short grain) content instead of glutinous rice. The viscosity ranged from $2,891{\sim}9,153\;cP{\cdot}s$ and soluble solid content ranged from $8.23{\sim}10.13^{\circ}Brix$ at the eleven experimental points. The mixture with the highest solid content and viscosity, 12% rice gruel sample was $10.10{\sim}10.13^{\circ}Brix$ and $9,150{\sim}9,153\;cP{\cdot}s$. The L color of sample decreased with decreasing rice content, while "a" (redness) and "b" (yellowness) values slightly increased. In the sensory evaluation, samples with higher amount of puffed rice and glutinous rice scored higher for brown color, flavor and sweetness than high-content rice samples. The response surface and trace plot results showed that increasing of puffed rice increased the brown color, sweet taste and sticky aftertaste. From the results of the F-test, viscosity, "a" (redness) and "b" (yellowness) values fit a quadratic model with significant probabilities within 0.05%. The optimum predicted formulations of rice gruel containing puffed rice were 1.69% of puffed rice, 0.47% of glutinous rice and 9.84% of rice, respectively.
