This study compared recipes of Korean Traditional steamed dishes, Noodles, Rice cake & Confectionary in Choi’s Recipe (「Choi’s Eumsikbeop」) with those in other literatures written during the mid-Joseon Dynasty. Through this work, it aimed to explore the value of Choi’s Recipe (「Choi’s Eumsikbeop」) in the history of cooking and the meanings of its recipes. Choi’s Recipe (「Choi’s Eumsikbeop」) contains recipes for a total of 20 kinds of food. Specifically, there are seven kinds of Fermented dishes (kimchi (6), and salted fermented food (1)), four kinds of Steamed dishes, seven kinds of Confectionary and Sweet (rice cake (4), jeonggwa (1), and dang (2)), and two kinds of Noodles (dumpling (1), and noodle (1)). Among them, the steamed dishes revealed characteristics of 17th-century food as in other cooking books, and some of them utilized unique ingredients handed down only through head families. Moreover, some recipes showed different cooking methods using similar materials. This suggests the originality of the recipes in this cooking book.

백설기 원료인 쌀가루에 당 및 식이섬유의 함량이 높은 것으로 알려진 고구마가루를 5, 15, 25%(w/w, dry-weight basis) 비율로 첨가하여 원료 및 제품에서 나타나는 이화학적 품질과 제품의 관능특성, 및 저장성을 관찰하였다. 쌀가루에 대한 고구마가루 첨가량이 증가할수록 제품의 수분결합력, 팽윤도가 증가하였으며 외관에 있어서 적색도 및 황색도가 증가한 반면 전체적인 외관은 다소 어두워졌다. DSC(Differential Scanning Calorimeter)에 의한 열적특성의 분석결과 고구마가루의 H는 28.1 J/g으로서 19.1 J/g인 쌀가루에 비해 2배 정도로 높아 호화경향이 낮은 것으로 조사되었다. DSC thermogram에 나타난 전분의 노화도 경향은 고구마가루 첨가량이 증가할수록 감소하여 고구마가루 첨가량에 비례한 제품의 노화억제효과가 확인되었다. 제품의 경도, 응집성, 탄력성, 씹힘성 등은 고구마가루 첨가에 따라 감소하였으며 또한 경도증가율이 낮아져 고구마가루의 노화지연 효과가 확인되었다. 백설기 내의 고구마가루 첨가는 상대적으로 낮은 저장온도에서 제품의 경도증가를 억제하는 경향이 있었다. 그러나 제품의 경도변화의 폭은 저장온도 보다 고구마가루 첨가의 영향을 더 많이 받는 것을 알 수 있었다. 미생물적 특성에 있어서 제품을 실온에서 3일간 저장 시 고구마가루 첨가량에 따라 총 미생물수가 미첨가구에 비해 최고 1/10정도까지 낮게 유지되었다. 제품의 외관과 색을 제외한 전반적 기호특성은 고구마가루 첨가에 따라 향상되었으며 특히 15% 첨가구가 가장 좋은 평가를 받았다.

The study was done in order to investigate the effects the red onion powder on the quality characteristics of the Korean steamed rice cake, Seolgiddok, with 3%, 6%, 9% and 12% of the red onion powder weight in control. The moisture content of the control with 0% red onion was 43.74% and it steadily decreased with the increase in powder (12%) resulting to the lowest at 37.02% for the cake. The springiness, adhesiveness and chewiness of the cake decreased according to the increase in powder content, while the hardness and cohesiveness increased together with the increase in powder content. The Hunter color value L in the chromaticity of the cake significantly decreased with the increase in powder content. The a value of the control was 2.18 and was redder with the increase in powder content, while the b value significantly increased together with the increase in powder content. The sensory characteristics of the cake such as color, flavor, taste and softness and chewiness increased along with increase in powder content. The overall taste was judged to be the best for the sample with the 9% added powder.
