Yukwa is a popular Korean traditional fried rice snack. The high fat content and porous structure of Yukwa cause it to become rancid rapidly. For extending the shelf-life of Yukwa, the Bandegi was fried with palm oil and soybean oil. The stability of Yukwa in lipid oxidation was determined by acid value(AV), peroxide value(POV), composition of fatty acid and sensory evaluation during 8 weeks of storage at 20$^{\circ}C$ and 50$^{\circ}C$ As the storage time increased, the AVs of soybean oil and palm oil during storage at 50$^{\circ}C$ were increased up to 42.64 and 2.09 mg/g, respectively. The POV of soybean oil during storage at 50$^{\circ}C$ was increased up to 4 weeks and then decreased. And as the storage time increased, the contents of stearic and oleic acid were increased, while linoleic and linolenic acid were decreased.

Yukwa is a popular Korean traditional fried rice snack. The high fat content and porous structure of Yukwa cause it to rapidly become rancid, presenting difficult challenges for commercial distribution. In this study, an-tioxidant activities of green tea extracts (GTE) were evaluated in Yukwa fried in soybean oil (SBO), rice bran oil (RBO) and winterized rice bran oil (WRBO) during storage at 4$0^{\circ}C$ for 12 weeks. Lipid oxidation of Yukwa was determined by acid value (AV), peroxide value (POV), p-anisidine value(AnV), totox value and sensory evaluation. The addition of GTE to the oils reduced the increases in AV, POV, AnV, and totox. Totox increased most vapidly in Yukwa fried in SBO, fellowed by RBO>WRBO>SBO+200 ppm GTE>RBO+200 ppm GTE > WRBO + 200 ppm GTE (p<0.05). Sensory evaluation revealed that the addition of 200 ppm GTE delays rancidity in Yukwa by 7~8 weeks; providing compelling evidence that GTE is an effective antioxidant for Yukwa.

Ramyon(deep fat fried instant noodle with palm oil) preserved in sunlight, room temp. ($20{\pm}5^{\circ}C$), incubator ($30{\pm}2^{\circ}C$) and corrugated fiber board box to investigate the oxidative changes of the Ramyon lipids. In the study, changes in acid value, peroxide value, carbonyl value, TBA value, fatty acid composition, iodine value and panel test were determined with the lipids extracted from the Ramyon samples in intervals for a period of 20 weeks. Acid value, peroxide value, carbonyl value and TBA value of the Ramyon lipid were increased slightly during the storage in aluminum foil package in the corrugated fiber board box in the dark room. They did not appear the oxidative rancid odor at the end of 20 weeks storage. Acid value, peroxide value, carbonyl value and TBA value of the samples under room temp., incubator slightly during storage, while a sharp increase of those values were noticed with the samples of sunlight. Especially, the TBA value of the Ramyon lipid under sunlight markedly increased within 14 weeks and then decreased. Oxidative rancid odor appeared at the end of 10 weeks storage under sunlight, while it took 18 weeks with the sample stored under room temp. and incubator. During the storage under incubator and sunlight for 18 weeks, the content of oleic, linoleic acid decreased, while palmitic and stearic acid increased. However, only small changes were noticed in iodine value of the samples.

This study was carried out to investigate the storage stability of Yackwa (a Korean fried cake made from wheat flour, honey and 20% oil), with the variation in frying oils (soybean oil of fresh or heat-treated corn oil and rapeseed oil) and storage conditions (temperature, humidity and in dark or under fluorescent light) for 20 weeks period. In $5^{\circ}C$ storage, acid and peroxide values increased slowly, showing the peroxide value of 20 meq/kg after 13 weeks. In $40^{\circ}C$ storage, acid and peroxide values increased remarkably. The product became harder at storage humidity of 25% and softer by moistening at storage humidity of 80%. Acid and peroxide values of Yackwa from corn, rapeseed and soybean oils increased with storage period, to a different extent. The values of fluorescent groups, especially rapeseed oil group, were higher than those of control groups and the heat-treated oil groups were higher than those of fresh oil groups. Sensory scores for rancid flavor were gradually increased with the storage period in all groups. There was no significant difference with the kinds of frying oils, storage conditions and heat treatment. Correlation of sensory scores with acid values was positive throughout whole storage period, with low ${\gamma}-values$. Its correlation with peroxide values was positive up to 6th week but negative at 9th week of storage.

This study was carried to investigate the changes in physical and chemical properties of Yukwa during preparation with addition of antioxidants and to develop its storage condition. Antioxidants (tocopherol and Oxyfos) were used in syrup coating and the packaging materials used were PET/EVOH $(16\;{\mu}m)/PL$ : P1 and PET/EVOH $(24\;{\mu}m)/PL$ : P2 (YOP1: P1 with Oxyfos, YOP2 : P2 with Oxyfos, YTP1 : P1 with tocopherol, YTP2 : P2 with tocopherol). Color values measured for Yukwa showed that L values of YOP1, YOP2, YTP1 and YTP2 were changed little during storage while a and b values of YOP1, YOP2, YTP1 and YTP2 were slightly decreased. Hardness and chewiness in textural properties were also decreased during storage. Yukwa packed in YOPl and YOP2 maintained less than 40 in peroxide value during for 12 weeks of storage period. The major fatty acid composition of frying oil were linoleic acid (54.2%), oleic acid (23.4%), palmitic acid (11.3%), linolenic acid (6.5%) and stearic acid (4.6%). There was no difference in composition of fatty acid during storage. Sensory evaluation (Yukwa odor and rancid odor) showed very similar results with determined by electronic nose. YTP1 and YTP2 had maintained sensory characteristics of Yukwa during 10 weeks storage.

The purpose of this study was to develop new method for the manufacture of Yukwa, a Korean oil-puffed rice snack with a soft texture, using a far infrared ray electric roaster. The Yukwa base is traditionally expanded using oil, but the Yukwa base tends to develop unpleasant rancid odors or off-flavors during storage. In this study, the DPPH radical scavenging activity of mugwort powder was evaluated. Baked and fried Yukwa samples were added with 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0% of mugwort powder and left untreated as a control, and then tested for moisture content, expansion rate, color, hardness, and sensory evaluations. The samples with higher concentrations of mugwort powder, evidenced a more profound tendency toward DPPH radical scavenging activity. The moisture content of Yukwa dough tended to increase with the addition of mugwort powder. As the mugwort powder content increased, the moisture contents of the Yukwa base and the Baked Yukwa increased. The moisture content and expansion rates of the fried Yukwa did not differ significantly. The samples containing the mugwort power evidenced a lower expansion rate than was observed in the control group. The lightness of the baked and fried Yukwa was reduced with increased mugwort powder content. The greenness of the baked and fried Yukwa was at a minimum upon the addition of 2.0% mugwort powder. The yellowness of the baked Yukwa did not differ significantly between the samples. As the mugwort powder content increased, the yellowness of the fried Yukwa increased. The hardness of the baked and fried Yukwa tended to increase with the addition of mugwort powder. In the sensory evaluations, the baked Yukwa scored higher than the fried Yukwa, and all of the sensory characteristics of baked Yukwa scored highest in the samples without mugwort powder, but also scored fairly well with 1.0 and 1.5% mugwort powder. In conclusion, these results demonstrated that 1.0～1.5% of mugwort powder should be added to Yukwa baked in a far infrared ray electrical roaster in order to optimize physiological functions and keep overall acceptability reasonably high.

Perilla is an oilseed crop cultivated in Korea since ancient times. Due to the high ${\alpha}-linolenic$ acid content in perilla, perilla seed oil can easily become rancid. ${\alpha}-Linolenic$ acid is synthesized by two enzymes, endoplasmic reticulum-localized ${\Delta}15$ desaturase (FAD3) and chloroplast-localized ${\Delta}15$ desaturase (FAD7) in vivo. In order to lower the ${\alpha}-linolenic$ acid content of the seed oil without disturbing plant growth, we tried to suppress the expression of only the FAD3 gene using RNA interference, whilst maintaining the expression of the FAD7 gene. Seventeen transgenic plants with herbicide ($Basta^{TM}$) resistance were obtained by Agrobacterium-mediated transformation using hypocotyls of perilla plants. The transgenic plants were firstly confirmed by treatment with 0.3% (v/v) $Basta^{TM}$ herbicide, and the expression of FAD3 was measured by Northern blot analysis. The ${\alpha}-linolenic$ acid content was 10-20%, 30-40%, and 60% in two, seven, and three of the twelve $T_1$ transgenic perilla plants which had enough seeds to be analyzed for fatty acid composition, respectively. Analysis of the fatty acid composition of $T_2$ progeny seeds from $T_1$ plants with the lowest ${\alpha}-linolenic$ acid content showed that the homozygous lines had 6-10% ${\alpha}-linolenic$ acid content and the heterozygous lines had 20-26% ${\alpha}-linolenic$ acid content. It is expected that the reduction in ${\alpha}-linolenic$ acid content in perilla seed oil will prevent rancidity and can be utilized for the production of high-value functional ingredients such as high ${\gamma}-linolenic$ acid.
