The purpose of this study was to investigate the housewives’ consumption pattern and preference of the Korean rice cake asa substitute for meal. The rate of housewives who had eaten rice cake as a substitute for meal were 75.30% and those who had not were 20.83%. Usually 62.03% of them ate rice cake for breakfast, and 34.21% did them within one time per a week. Reasons for eating rice cake for meal were investigated on ‘easy to eat(54.51%)’, ‘good taste (24.44%)’ and ‘healthy food(14.29%)’. The older housewives wanted healthy rice cake for meal and ate with tea and Kimchi(Dongchimi). The younger ones ate rice cake for meal with tea and milk. Thawing methods of frozen rice cake for meal were different between the older and the younger, respectively, steaming and using microwave. Kinds of rice cake as a substitute meal were Injeolmi(50.75%), Backsulgi(49.62%), Chaltteok (47.74%) and Yaksik(46.44).

In organic agriculture, choose of effective and cheap bio-pesticide is very important. The authors developed an insecticidal extract from neem cake, waste of neem oil from kernel, and applied as a bio-pesticide. Bio-pesticide neem cake extracts experiment

This study was carried on the quality characteristics of cake prepared with Co(com oil) containing MCT(medium chain triglycerides), which is used as a fat substitute. In tile cake prepared with MCT-CO containing 10~30% MCT, the appearance and the degree of gelatinization were similar to those of cake prepared with NS-CO(non-substituted corn ell) Cake batter prepared with MCT-CO showed higher specific gravity and consistency than those of cake prepared with NS-CO and increased by increasing MCT contents. The baking loss of cake prepared with MCT-CO was more than that of cake prepared with NS-CO and increased by increasing MCT contents as well. The rheological properties of cake represented significant different by MCT substitution ratio(p〈0.05). Gumminess, hardness and chewiness of cake prepared with MCT-CO containing 20~30% MCT were about 2 times higher than those of cake prepared with NS-CO, while springiness and cohesiveness showed similar pattern between the cake prepared with MCT-CO or NS-CO. In sensory evaluation, appearance. color and flavor of cake prepared with CO substituted by MCT up to 100% were better assessed and the taste was better in range of 30% MCT-CO but the texture was less accepted than that of cake prepared with NS-CO.

The functional Jeungpyuns with dietary fiber containing cereals such as brown rice and barley flour were developed and physiochemical properties were investigated. The water binding capacity had significantly the highest value of 28.4% in raw rice flour,

백작약 분말을 떡과 국수에 첨가(0, 1, 3, 5%)하여 저장기간별로 이화학적, 관능적, 미생물학적 특성을 검토하여 저장성 및 제품 특성을 살펴보았다. 수분은 저장 기간동안 감소하였고, 무첨가군이 첨가군들에 비해 보다 급격한 감소를 보였다 이는 백작약 섬유소의 수분 보유력 때문으로 여겨진다. 떡의 밝기의 기준인 L 값은 첨가량이 증가할수록 감소하였으며 저장 기간동안 증가하였다. 적색도 a값과 황색도 b값은 백작약 분말을 첨가할수록 증가하였다. 백작약 분말 첨가 국수의 경우 밝기의 기준인 L값은 첨가량이 증가할수록 감소하였고, 저장기간 동안에도 감소하였다. 황색도 b값은 첨가량이 증가할수록 증가하였다(p〈0.05). 백작약 분말 첨가 떡과 국수 모두 무첨가군에서 총균수가 첨가군보다 더 급격하게 증가하였으며 백작약 분말 첨가량이 많을수록 미생물의 증식 억제효과가 큰 것으로 나타났다. 무첨가 떡과 국수를 48시간 저장 후 총균수는 1.0×103 CFU/g에 달한 반면 5% 첨가군은 96시간 이후 그 수준에 달하였다. 떡과 국수의 색, 향, 맛, 쫄깃한 정도, 전반적인 품질에 대한 관능 검사 결과 백작약 분말 첨가 떡이 무첨가군에 비해 선호도가 높았다(p〈0.05). 백, 국수 모두 촉촉한 정도는 제조 후 24시간 이전에는 무첨군이 더 높은 값을 보였으나 그 이후에는 첨가량이 증가할수록 더 높은 값을 보였다. 백작약 분말 첨가떡과 국수 모두 색은 3% 첨가군의 기호도가 높았으며 향, 맛, 전반적인 품질은 1% 첨가군을 선호하였다. 이상의 결과로 보아 백작약 분말 첨가는 떡과 국수의 기호성을 높이고 저장기간을 연장시키는 가능성을 확인하였다.

Fat and sugar reduced yellow layer cake system was developed with varied replacement level of 30%, 60%, and 90% for AD(amylodextrin) and 10%, 30%, and 50% for PD(polydextrose). Physicochemical and sensory characteristics were investigated and optimum replacement level was also decided using response surface methodology. Sample groups of PD10AD30 had significantly the lowest specific gravity and viscosity, indicating the stable batter system with high air incorporation. Sample groups with PD10AD90 showed the highest volume index and were not significantly different from those of the PD10AD30. Sensory results indicated that PD30AD30 were significantly the most springy and moist, and the least hard of all sample groups. Sample groups with PD10AD90 had the least adhesiveness value. To establish the optimum substitution level using RSM, the restriction level was set up as moistness over five point, hardness under five points, and adhesiveness under four points. The optimum substitution level was 20% for PD and 88% for AD.

The Purpose of this study was to investigate the perception and preference of the college student about Korean traditional rice cakes. Self admistered questionnaires were collected from 512 college students in Seoul, Kyungki, Chungchungdo, Kungsangdo, Junlado and Gangwondo area. Data was analysed by t-test, one-way ANOVA and correlation. The recognition of Korean traditional rice cake was generally low except for the items that could be easily seen as either seasonable or festive foods. There was a significant difference in the average score of recognition and preference for each kinds of Korean traditional rice cake according to the major, gender and grade of subjects. Baiksulgi, Injulmi, Yaksik, Bindaeduk, Songpyun and Garaeduk are highly prefered Korean traditional rice cakes when as Gaepiduk, Ssookjulpyun, Kongchalduk and Garaeduk are poorly among college students.

This study was performed to investigate the perception and the preference of Korean traditional foods such as traditional holiday foods, rice cakes and beverages. The subjects were 598 elementary school students(male 310, female 288) in fifth or sixth grades. The most favorite traditional holiday food was rice cake soup(57.4%) and 92.4% of subjects wanted to keep the traditional holiday foods because of the traditional custom. The traditional beverages mainly drinking at home were sikhye(35.6%), misugalou(30.2%), green tea(18.5%), etc. Children's most favorite beverage was misugalou(90.5%) and they had no taste for ginseng tea(39.6%). Children did not know well about booggumi(64.1%), dootubdduk(63.3%), whajun(39.6%), etc. and liked gguldduk(94.2%) better than the others. They liked the rice cake because of its good taste(69.0%) and disliked it because of chocking(30.9%), not eating frequently(29.5%), hard and tough(18.2%), and so on. And they wanted to make the rice cake softer and sweeter like the cake and mostly ate it on the traditional holidays.

The empirical research was conducted to investigate women's consumption pattern of Korean rice cakes and to analyze the preference of them by their demographic backgrounds. The results of this study provide useful informations for a systematic development of Korean rice cake. A self-completed questionnaire survey of 281 women in Seoul was undertaken and detailed information was collected from each. A questionnaire consisted of three parts including demographic backgrounds, consumption pattern and preference of Korean rice cakes, and the need assessment. Demographic variables of respondents included age, marital status, education, family style, monthly income etc. Most of them(82.6%) were married with the average age of 36.3±8.4 year old. The results of eating frequency rate showed that about half of women(49.1%) had Korean rice cake once or twice a month followed by once a week(23.1%), once per two months(13.9%), once per six months(8.2%), and once per three months(3.9%). Average preference score of 14 Korean rice cakes was 3.08±1.49 out of 5, indicating 'so-and-so'. Ingeolmi received the highest score of 4.02, whereas Duteopteok had the lowest score of 0.18. The preference score of Korean rice cake and the respondents' knowledge of them showed significantly strong positive correlation. The need-assessment score for improving the quality of Korean rice cake was 3.72±1.35 out of 5, showing moderate willingness for improvement of Korean rice cake.

The aim of this study were to assess high school students' consumption pattern of Korean rice cakes and to analyze the preference of them by students' demographic backgrounds. Self completed questionnaires were collected from 672 high school students in Seoul area. A questionnaire consisted of three parts including demographic backgrounds, student's consumption pattern and preference of Korean rice cakes by type. Statistical data analysis was done using the SPSS/PC program for descriptive analysis, t-test and 2 test. Approximately half of the students were male(52.6%) with the average age of 16.7 The consumption frequency rate showed that 41.6% students had Korean rice cake once a week followed by once or twice a month(39.1%), once per six months(11.0%), and once per two months(8.3%) Ingeolmi received the highest preference score(4.28), whereas Duteopteok had the lowest score(0.18).
