The physicochemical properties of rice flours and quality characteristics of rice cupcake were investigated using the domestic rice varieties Goami, Hanareum, Hanmaeum, Deuraechan, Seolgaeng, and Haiami. Protein and amylose contents were highest in. The final and setback viscosities of Haiami, Hanmaeum, Deuraechan, and Hanareum were higher than those of Goami and Seolgaeng. The specific volume of rice cupcakes was lower with Goami and Haiami than with the others. Seolgaeng cupcake had a dented surface and irregular air pockets, while the Hanareum cupcake was well shaped and had uniform air pockets. The hardness, springiness, and chewiness of Goami and Haiami cupcakes were higher than those of the others, while adhesiveness was observed only in Seolgaeng cupcake. The overall preferences scores of rice cupcakes prepared from Hanareum, Hanmaeum and Deuraechan were higher than for the other cupcakes (p<0.05). These results suggested that amylose content, and final and setback viscosities of rice flour are very important factors in rice cupcakes.

To develop the tailor made rice flour products for consumers with increasing functionality of pine needles, rice cupcakes were prepared with adding different contents of pine needle powder (PP) and extract (PE, by pressing pine needle). The physicochemical, textural, sensory properties, and antioxidative activities of rice cupcakes were investigated. The antioxidative activities of rice cupcakes with PP and PE were higher than those of the control and were significantly different with adding pine needle type (PP or PE). The specific volume of rice cupcakes increased with adding PP and PE, except for 10 g PP added cupcake. Textural properties were also significantly different with pine needle types and contents. On the sensory preference test data, the scores of the teens, the twenties, and the thirties were higher in PP added rice cupcakes (3 and 5 g added), but those in the forties, the fifties, and above the sixties were higher in PE added rice cupcakes (3 g added). From these above results, the PP addition improved the processing quality of rice cupcakes (under 10 g added), but reduced unique flavor of pine needle. It was suggested that rice products added with pine needle would be developed to consider consumer's age, type of pine needle and its content.
