This study investigated the physicochemical properties and acceptability of yellow layer cake prepared using various levels of wet-milled rice flour (RF). RF was used to substitute 0% (control group), 15% (RF-15 group), 30% (RF-30 group) and 45% (RF-45 group) of wheat flour (WF) to manufacture yellow layer cakes. The substitution of WF with RF showed no significant effect on the pH but decreased the specific gravity and viscosity of the batter. Baking loss rates ranged from 4.65% to 5.03%, showing no significant difference among samples. In the color measurement, the experimental groups showed higher redness (a) and yellowness (b) than the control group (p<0.05). The experimental groups showed lower gumminess and chewiness than the control group. According to the results of intensity measurement of sensory properties, the RF-30 and RF-45 groups showed stronger intensities for darkness, sweetness, moistness and softness than the control group. The acceptance test found that the RF-45 group had significantly higher or similar results for all acceptance attributes than the control group. These results indicate that RF addition as a replacement of WF at a ratio of 45% is optimal for producing yellow layer cakes.

Korea. Two kinds of jochung products were prepared from steamed rice(SR) and wet-milled rice flour(WRF) by rice cultivated from 2006 to 2010. It is common to add a liquefying enzyme for rice liquefaction(4 ㎖/1, 000 g rice, at 90～95℃, 3 h) and saccharogenic enzyme with malt(45 g/1, 000 g rice, at 55～57℃, 6 h). In order to evaluate the quality characteristics of jochung, producing rate, pH, solidity, reducing sugar, dextrose equivalence(D.E.), viscosity, total phenolic compound, color value and sensory evaluation were carried out. In terms of the producing rate of jochung, WRF jochung was produced about 7.4% much more than SR jochung. There was no difference in producing rate between the jochung cultivated from 2006 to 2010 rice. The pH varied from 4.86～5.66, solidity was 79.48～82.28%. Color L value was 25.82～27.92, a value of 1.28～2.81, b value were 2.98～4.33. The results of sensory evaluation for jochung, as a whole, received higher score than for the commercial product(Daesang Co., Ltd, Seoul, Korea), overall acceptability score was the highest in the 2008SR. Reducing sugar, dextrose equivalence(D.E.) and total phenolic compounds were determined to be higher WRF jochung than SR jochung, while viscosity was lower WRF jochung than SR jochung. These results are thought to be due to increased surface area of rice by milling. SR jochung manufacturd by wet-milled rice flour will increase the producing rate for jochung, thereby saving manufacturing time and costs.
