노티의 재료에 따른 이화학적, 관능적 및 기계적 특성 연구 -제 1보 : 찹쌀 노티의 이화학적, 관능적 및 기계적 특성 연구-

This study was undertaken to investigate the effect of cereals on the physicochemical and sensory characteristics of Noti. Noti is one of Korean traditional pan-fried glutinous cereal cakes. Noti made from the steamed glutinous rice flour, glutinous Chinese millet flour, glutinous millet flour or glutinous Indian millet flour is saccharified with malt, and then pan-fried. Noti also has sweet taste without sugar added. In addition, Noti has elastic characteristic, high calorie and good flavor. Long storage makes it better taste. In this case, Noti was made from the steamed glutinous rice flour. By the sensory evaluation, color, flavor and moistness were unfavorable according to the storage. Consistency was not strongly increased when comparing with the common rice cake depending upon the storage. The texture tended to increase by storage period. Optimum conditions of the safe storage and overall acceptability were to add 15% malt and keep 6hr saccharification time at 60$^{\circ}C$. During the period of storage for 90 days, reducing sugar content was similar, moisture content was low and maintained, and the acid value was not increased abruptly. The hardness was not increased rapidly and fungal growth was considerably low. Cohesiveness and elasticity were increased during storage.
