A literature survey on traditional Korean rice-cakes was made in order to identify the historical background and the state of scientific understanding on these products. Korean rice cakes can be classified into 5 groups depending on the processing methods; steamed (Jeung-byung), pounded (Do-byung), shaped and steamed or boiled (Dan-ja), fried (Yu-Jeon-byung) and fermented and steamed (Yi-byung). They are further divided into varieties by the raw materials used, coating materials and shape. The recipe and processing characteristics of 5 groups of Korean rice-cake were discussed and the scientific findings on these products were reviewed.

Cholpyon, a traditional Korean rice cake, was prepared using pigmented rice and the quality characteristics them were compared with Cholpyon made of brown and white ice during 24 hr storage at 20$\^{C}$. In proximate composition, crude protein contents were not significantly different among three rice varieties whereas the contents of crude lipid and ash in pigmented and brown rice were higher than that of white rice. In mechanical characteristics, 100% pigmented rice Cholpyon showed lower values for hardness, cohesiveness, springiness and chewiness, and higher value far adhesiveness compared with those of white rice Cholpyon. These results were maintained for 24 hours. Sensory Characteristics of 100% pigmented rice Cholpyon such as color, hardness and overall quality were better than those of white rice Cholpyon. Brown rice Cholpyon had similar mechanical properties to 100% pigmented rice Cholpyon, but showed the lowest preference in color.

The characteristics of packsulki (Korean traditional rice cake) which was sweetened with sucrose or combined sweeteners (sorbitol plus aspartame or sorbitol plus saccharin) were investigated through sensory evaluation in this study. The sensory attributes of packsulkis containing combined sweeteners were evaluated as being similar to those of packsulki containing sucrose. There were no significant differences among the groups in most of the properties.

This study aimed to examine the cooking methods used in the Joseon Dynasty using cooking books. We chose "Suwoonjabbang" (1500's) and "Eumsikdimibang" (1610) as the subjects of this study. Cooking methods from these two recipe books were categorized into staples, side dishes, rice cakes, Korean traditional sweets and cookies, drinks, fermented foods, seasonings, and storage methods. Firstly, "Suwoonjabbang" contains a total of 121 cooking methods divided into two volumes. In contrast, "Eumsikdimibang" includes 146 cooking methods. There are 18 methods for noodles and dduks, 74 methods for fish and meat, and 54 methods for drinks and vinegars, and others. Secondly, "Suwoonjabbang" written by Yu Kim in Chinese characters can be described in simple terms. It provides caution against indulging in the taste of food. In contrast, "Eumsikdimibang" by Kye Hyang Jang contains detailed cooking methods that have disappeared. Thirdly, "Eumsikdimibang" introduced more diverse cooking methods for noodles, dumplings, side dishes, rice cake, Korean traditional sweets and cookies, and fermented foods as compared to "Suwoonjabbang". In conclusion, unique cooking methods introduced in these two cooking books, which are rare these days, are expected to be further applied and developed.

This study was carried out to select economical byproduct composts as the substitute for the traditional organic fertilizer, Yacto, in the cultivation of ginseng seedlings, and to investigate the application method of a selected compost. Among tested byproduct composts, popped rice hull compost was the best substitute for Yacto, while the application of domestic animal manure composts resulted in red skinned roots of ginseng seedlings. Optimal mixing ratio of the popped rice hull compost with virgin soil (fine sand) were 3~4 : 1 in bulk, showing the same root yield compared to that of conventional seedbed soil. When the popped rice hull compost was lower than $1\;{\pm}\;0.1%$ in nitrogen content, the expeller cake of oil seed was added to seedbed soil to rise nitrogen content until $1\;{\pm}\;0.1%$.

For extending the shelf-life of Yukwa (oil puffed rice cake) which is one of the most favorable Korean traditional rice snack, the Yukwa was packed in $O_2$ preventive container and substituted the air with $N_2$ gas or packed with $O_2$ absorbent (ageless sachet). The quality of Yukwa stored at $35^{\circ}C$ was evaluated by POV, AV and TBA including sensory evaluation. The POV of oil in Yukwa of $N_2$ substitute pack and absorbent sachet included were 5.3 and 11.9 meq/kg, respectively, while no packing (control) was 195.5 meq/kg after 90 days storage at $35^{\circ}C$. AV and TBA were also same trend but the gap with the control was not so big. The Yukwa, $N_2$ gas substituted, was better in quality than absorbent treatment in sensory evaluation and no difference was detected in quality of 90 days storage Yukwa at $35^{\circ}C$ with 15 days. The main reason for lower sensory score of absorbent treatment was that the $O_2$ absorbent also absorbed the flavor component of Yukwa.

This study was conducted to identify the sensory characteristics of the Korean traditional confectionery, dasik, prepared under different conditions and to compare their consumer acceptance in Korea. To accomplish this, descriptive analysis of eight samples prepared using two types of rice cake powder, dasik (Rflour, Rflour_Omija), brown rice powder red ginseng dasik (Brice_Ginseng_P), pinepollen dasik (PineP), black sesame dasik (BSesame), bean dasik (Rbean), and two types of mungbean starch dasik (Starch_Omija, Starch_Greentea), was conducted by ten trained panelists. In addition, 81 consumers evaluated the overall acceptance (OL), acceptance of appearance (APPL), odor (ODL), flavor (FLL), and texture (TXTL) of the samples using a 9-point hedonic scale, as well as the perceived intensities of sesame flavor, sweetness, and hardness using a 9-point just-about-right (JAR) scale. Partial least square- regression (PLSR) indicated that the BSesame and Rbean samples, which had significantly (p<0.05) high roasted sesame, burnt, greasy, glossy, and cooked chestnut flavor scores, had the highest acceptability and consumer desire scores. Additionally, the PineP and Rflour_Omija samples, which had relatively high particle size, transparency, roughness, spoiled tofu, fermentation and raw rice flavor scores, were the least preferred samples. Therefore, roasted sesame, burnt, greasy, glossy, and cooked chestnut flavor attributes were considered drivers of "liking" whereas particle size, transparent, roughness, spoiled tofu, fermentation, and raw rice flavor attributes acted as drivers of "disliking" among consumers.
