In this study, to develop a higher value-added makgeolli, the Korean traditional rice wine were made of four kinds of raw material cereals (wheat flour, puffed rice, non-glutinous rice, and glutinous rice). To investigate the development potential of makgeolli as functional materials, their physicochemical characteristics, phenol, flavonoid, and vitamin contents, and 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid)(ABTS) radical scavenging activity were evaluated. Puffed rice makgeolli and non-glutinous rice makgeolli among four types of makgeolli were higher contents of alcohol (16-16.5%). Of four types of makgeolli, puffed rice makgeolli showed 5.2±0.06 mg GAE/mL, the highest level content of total phenol, and flavonoid contents of them were similarly high, with a level of 470-490 ㎍ QE/mL. Puffed rice makgeolli containing the highest level content of total phenol resulted in 81.5%, the highest activity of ABTS radical scavenging. These results suggest that puffed rice may be an effective raw material for makgeolli to be developed the antioxidant functional materials.

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.

Wheat is widely used in food industry because of its low price, convenience, protein-rich resource, easy processibility, and so on. However, people who have wheat-gluten allergy need gluten-free products. Especially, gluten-free products are desirable to early childhood even though they may or may not be sensitive to wheat-gluten. As the alternative of wheat flour, recently, rice flour is gaining popularity. Hence, we developed the puffed rice snack for the baby. In order to prepare for rice extrudate, 1 kg rice flour, 450 g water, and 6 g salt were mixed together and then steamed for 1 hr. The rice extrudate was shredded into pieces (0.5 cm${\times}$0.5 cm) and dried up to 4.5% moisture content. The dried rice shreds were puffed at $257^{\circ}C$ in a puffing machine. The puffed rice snack was oval-shaped having thickness of 0.5 cm, white in color with brown flakes. Appearance and texture of the puffed rice snacks were evaluated by the measurement of the texture, isothermal water absorption, expansion, and the color. Puffed rice was more porous, because rice increased up to about two times larger than its original volume. Texture of the rice puffing snack was suitable for early childhood. Rice puffing snack showed potentials including soft, low-allergenic, and easily digestible properties. It is concluded that rice puffing snack has potential in the food markets for early childhood.

The pH, turbidity, color, brix, reducing sugar, total sugar, ketose, amino acid, protein and organoleptic characteristics of sikhye prepared with puffed rice powder (0, 25, 50, 75 and 100% (w/w)) were investigated during saccharification. A higher concentration of puffed rice powder and longer saccharification time resulted in pH reduction (p<0.05) and tended to increase turbidity. A higher Hunter "L" value was observed with higher puffed rice powder content, except for the addition of 25% at 0 h. The Hunter "L" value peaked at hour 1 and slowly declined thereafter. Elevations in brix, reducing sugar, total sugar and sucrose were observed with higher puffed rice powder content and longer duration of saccharification (p<0.05). The sucrose content ranged from 0.79-0.86% (w/w) at hour 6, which was markedly lower than that of commercial sikhye. With time, levels of amino acid and protein increased (p<0.05). Sensory evaluation revealed moderate differences between 0% and both 75 and 100% (p<0.001), with 75 and 100% preferred over 0% (p<0.05).

The pH, acidity, color, reducing sugar, total sugar, alcohol, and organoletic characteristics of Takju containing puffed rice powder (0, 25, 50 and 75%) were investigated during fermentation for 10 days. After drastic decrease at Day 1, the pH increased gradually until Day 5 and then tended to decrease after Day 6. A lower concentration of puffed rice powder resulted in a greater pH reduction (p<0.05). Acidity increased quickly with days, especially for the 0% after Day 6 (p<0.05). After a sudden rise at Day 1, the Hunter ‘L’ value tended to decrease with days of fermentation. At the same day, the 75% showed the lowest Hunter ‘L’ value, however, it had the highest Hunter ‘a’ value except on Days 0, 3 and 10 (p<0.05). After a rapid reduction in reducing sugar on Day 3, no differences were observed in the samples (p<0.05). The 75% tended to be higher in reducing sugar. Total sugar decreased rapidly at Day 2, and then either remained unchanged or decreased after Day 3. With the exception of Day 4, the 75% had higher amounts of total sugar than the others at the same day (p<0.05). The Highest alcohol contents [13.0-16.4% (v/v)] occurred on Day 6. Higher alcohol concentrations were observed with higher puffed rice powder (p<0.05). In the sensory evaluation, no differences were detected between the 0% and those with puffed rice powder added (p<0.05).

The saccharification ratio and efficiency of alcohol fermentation from hot air puffed and steamed flour of husked rice and barley varieties were compared. Enzymatic hydrolysis of husked rice flour was improved by puffing, and that of glutinous rice was higher than that of nonglutinous one. By puffing of husked rice and barley, alcohol production was slightly increased, but fermentation period was reduced comparing with steam cooked husked rice and barley. Fermentation efficiencies of husked rice by puffing and rice by steam cooking were 90.72% and 87.77%, respectively. Residual reducing sugar of barley mash was higher than that of rice mash. The pH of mash was gradually increased during fermentation and was high in case of puffing treatment.

A laboratory scale co-rotating twin-screw extruder (D24 mm, L/D=14) was used for the extrusion of rice, which could be used for a puffed rice snack. As screw speed of the extrusion cooker was increased from 200 to 360 rpm, air cells structure of the extrudate from glutinous rice powder was improved to small and uniform air cells, and the moisture conetent of rice powder should be maintained to 15-17.5% for better texture of the extrudate. Objective and sensory texture of the extrudate from powder was better than those from grits, and there was no significant difference in textural properties between extrusion made with rice and glutinous rice.

The analysis of traditional process for a Korean puffed rice snack (Yukwa) is needed to develop an advanced process for Yukwa-making. Steeping and punching (Koarichigi) processes, consume time and labor in Yukwa-making, were analyzed on this study. Steeping of waxy rice at $15^{\circ}C$ for 3 days was required to equilibrate moisture absorption in waxy rice kernel. However, steeping for more than 6 days was required soft texture and small air cell distribution of Yukwa. Protein content at pericarp on endosperm of waxy rice kernel was decreased and starch granule was damaged during steeping. RVA paste viscosity was the highest at 6 day steeping after than decreased. Expansion ratio of Yukwa was increased with the increase in steeping time. Air bubbles in dough after punching were uniformly distributed and kneading energy input was decreased with the increase in steeping time. Soft texture, unique texture of Yukwa could be controlled by controlling steeping time and kneading energy input during punching process.
