Effects of acid soaking (AS) and thermal sterilization (TS) on the shape and quality characteristics of Tteokbokki rice cake (TRC) were investigated. The F-value of a sequential process (SP) of the combination of AS and TS was quantitatively determined with a reference microorganism of Bacillus cereus. F-values were evaluated according to the minimum and the maximum D-value of B. cereus and the reduction exponent (m=12). The heat penetration curves at cold point (CP) of TRC (400 g) were used to estimate the TS time at 121, 100, and $95^{\circ}C$. F-values of the SP were revised according to the adjusted m values after AS at different pH. The non-uniformity parameters (NUP) of TRC had no significant changes during AS but it dramatically increased after applying TS at a low pH by AS. The result of solubilized starch contents (SSC) demonstrated that the shape changes during SP are related to SSC. The texture characteristics and the whiteness were significantly influenced by a low pH condition (3.5) (p<0.05). Sensory analysis showed that a lower pH and a longer thermal processing time influenced negatively on the acceptability. This study showed that pH 4.0 and $95^{\circ}C$ was an optimum condition for the SP.

To improve the storage and firmness of Tteokbokki tteok Korean-style rice cakes with spicy sauce, steaming of the rice dough, soaking of the rice cake in acidic solution, and heat sterilization were conducted sequentially. The untreated control could be stored for 1 month under cold conditions, but this was extended to 10 months at room temperature ($15-30^{\circ}C$) after immersion in lactic acid solution (pH 4.0) for 20 min and heating to $100^{\circ}C$ for 30 min. The mechanical strength, which was related to firmness, was significantly increased to $11.4kgm/s^2$ compared with the untreated rice cakes ($8.8kgm/s^2$, p<0.05) and the overall descriptions of the sensory evaluation, including texture, was significantly higher than the control (p<0.05). The average size of the pores in the treated rice cakes was smaller than that of the conventional sample and the texture was improved as a result of decreased starch elution from smaller pores.

This study was examined to establish a conditions for producing Tteokbokki using dry-milling rice flour which can save manpower and labor time. Since the cost of producing rice flour milled in a wet condition is 500 to 700 won/kg, which is more than twice as much as that of 300 won wheat flour, it is necessary to directly make rice flour from raw rice. The dry-milling rice flour used in the experiment was produced by Air mill (Nara machinary co. ltd., Tokyo, Japan) from 5 rice cultivars (Samkwang, Dasan-1, Boramchan, Seolgaeng, Hanareum-2), which were cultivated in A-san in 2015 year. Their particle sizes were 50, 100 and $150{\mu}m$ for each cultivar, respectively. A control was a wet-milled rice flour milled with a roll mill after the rice was soaked in water for 4 hours. The moisture content of dry-milling rice flour based on cultivars was 11 ~ 12%, and added water up to 50~55% of dry-milling rice flour weight. The RVA characteristic of peak viscosity was the highest in Dasan-1 and Hanareum-2, the lowest in Seolgaeng. The setback value used as an indicator of aging was the highest in Dasan-1, therefore Dasan-1 was expected to be quick solidification, resulting in the low tendency of sensory evaluation. The damaged starch was high in Dasan-1 and Boramchan (p<0.05) compared to others. The Hunter color L were no significant among cultivars and b value increased in all cultivars of dry-milling rice flour compared with control. The hardness of dry-milling rice flour was higher than that of the control, especially Dasan-1 and Hanareum-2 were the highest. Based on the sensory evaluation, the best cultivars were Boramchan, Hanareum-2 and Samkwang. The overall preference of dry-milling rice flour was good in particle size of 50~100um.

The purpose of this study was to select 30 representative Korean dishes by a systematic review of preferences and recognition of Korean foods. The papers for the review were located using the keywords 'hansik', 'hanguk eumsik' from DBpia, KISS, NDSL and RISS, and 18 relevant papers were finally short-listed. To analyze the preferences of Koreans and foreigners for Korean dishes, respondents were chosen from various regions such as Asia, Europe, South Pacific, Africa, and North/South America. A total of 4,053 respondents participated in the selected papers and Korean dishes were classified according to the content analysis based on books published by the Rural Development Administration (RDA). Among the main dishes, two kinds of cooked rice were selected, bibimbap and kimbap. Also, noodles, dumplings, and sliced rice cake soup varieties mul-naengmyeon, guksujangguk, mandu, and tteokguk were selected as main dishes. The side dishes selected included 6 kinds of soup, miyeokguk, yukgaejang, samgyetang, gomtang, seolleongtang, and galbi-tang. Other side dishes selected were six types of stews namely doenjang-jjigae, kimchi-jjigae, sundubu-jjigae, haemultang, maeuntang, and dakbokkeum-tang. Three kinds of grilled side dishes selected were bulgogi, galbi-gui, and samgyeopsal-gui. Galbi-jjim was selected in the category of braised or steamed foods. Tteokbokki and japchae were the stir-fried food selected. Pan-fried foods and fried foods selected included a kind of haemul-pajeon and dak-gangjeong respectively. Seasoned vegetables selected were samsaek-namul including gosari-namul, sigeumchi-namul and doraji-namul. Two kinds of baechukimchi and kkakdugi were selected as kimchies, and sikhye was selected in the category of beverages and teas. These results could be used as selection criteria in developing recipes for representative Korean menus.
