This study examined the optimum conditions for producing Jeung-pyun in a faster and efficient way by replacing Takju (traditional way) with a chemical leavening agent for fermentation using dry rice powder instead of wet rice powder. The optimum amount of leavening agent for Jeung-pyun was examined by comparing the moisture content, spring ratio, pore ratio, texture, color value, scanning electron microscopy images and appearance characteristics of Jeung-pyung (con) prepared using traditional fermentation method with those prepared with 4, 5, 6, 7, 8% of the chemical leavening agent. As a result, the 6% leavening agent-added Jeung-pyun showed closest quality results with the traditional Jeung-pyun, and was most preferred. Therefore, 6% leavening agent is the optimum amount for making Jeung-pyun.
