This study was performed to the investigate the Yackwa quality according to the addition level of cellulose(0, 1, 3, 5 and 7% w/w flour). The color(L, a and b value), hardness, crude lipid content and sensory evaluation of Yackwa were measured. The values for color(L, a and b value) were not shown any significant difference among the all of Yackwa groups, but L(lightness) tended to be increased in 5 and 7% cellulose Yackwa groups than cellulose free Yackwa(control). The 7% cellulose Yackwa was harder than control, but the hardness of Yackwa didn't show difference in groups added below 5% cellulose compare to control. Crude fat contents showed no significant difference in the all Yackwa groups but tended to decrease in Yackwa groups added above 1% cellulose than control. It could be thought that fat absorption of Yackwa was affected due to adding a cellulose. There were not found any significant differences in the taste values for sensory evaluation according to cellulose level, and overall acceptability in below 5% cellulose Yackwa groups didn't differ from control. On the other hand the higher level of cellulose, the more crispness which was positively associated with overall acceptability. These findings could be thought that the addition of 3% cellulose(w/w) in preparing Yackwa were needed to reduce the fat absorption and to increase the crispness without changing the tastes and overall acceptability of Yackwa.

Yackwa is used as one of foods prepared for traditional rituals and holidays and enjoyed as snacks. Since Yackwas are fried, they contain oil, which can cause rancidity and undermines the freshness of Yackwas during distribution to retailers, not to mention a high level of calories. The study aims to develop baked Yackwas and analyze the quality in terms of calorie levels and characteristics by baking Yackwas in oven. Calorie level was 4.65 kcal/g in fried Yackwa, 3.96 kcal/g in baked Yackwa, and 2.95 kcal/g in baked peanut Yackwa prior to dip coating of grain syrup. baked Yackwa showed hardness of 13476.33 $g/cm^2$ before dipping in grain syrup, which was harder than 1912.56 $g/cm^2$ of fried Yackwa. After grain syrup coating, hardness of baked Yackwa reduced more significantly, compared with that of fried Yackwa, as grain syrup permeated through texture of Yackwa. And less hardness makes baked Yackwa tastier. Sensory evaluation was measured in a 5-point scale. Scores for texture and taste of baked Yackwa outpaced those of fried Yackwa. Score for the overall quality was 3.65 in baked Yackwa and 3.25 in baked peanut Yackwa, compared to 2.85 of fried Yackwa, indicating a higher potential of commercializing(p<0.05).

This study examined the effects of various oils used in the preparation of goami baked Yackwa dough on the quality characteristics of goami baked Yackwa. To determine the optimal amount of oil for goami powder Yackwa dough, the hardness and moisture contents of both the flour and goami powder dough were measured. Dough hardness was the highest in flour Yackwa while moisture contents was the highest in goami Yackwa. Baked weight and dip syrup weight were heavier in flour. Hardness, a-values, and b-values were the highest in flour Yackwa, whereas moisture contents and L-values was the highest in goami Yackwa. In a sensory evaluation, overall preference was the highest for goami Yackwa and flour Yackwa made with 10% oil.

Yackwa is a Korean traditional fried cake made by went flour, sesame oil and honey. This study was investigated to the Rice-Yackwa for the purpose of the improvement of Yackwa's quality and rice consumption by sensory evaluation and instrumental measurement. It was resulted that taste and flavor of Rice-Yackwas were better than those of Wheat-Yackwa by sensory evaluation. We tested whether the mesh of the rice (80,100,120) and swelling agents (baking power, soju : Korean alcholic beverage) affected the Rice-Yackwa's swelling or not. In result, not by soju but by baking powder Rice-Yackwas were swelled. But Rice-Yackwa was so hard, that the Yackwas were made by the two different compositions of mixed flour (rice : wheat ; 75:25, 50:50) exibited softer than those made by rice. The hardness of 25 g% mixed flour Yackwa was improved. And we examined the softening effect on rice and mixed flour Yackwa by the increasing storage periods (1, 2, 3, 5 days). Rice-Yackwa's hardness was changed more greatly than Wheat-Yackwa's by storage periods. In addition to we inspected the effluence of sesame oil in the pross of frying. Sesame oil (40%) was drown out the Rice-Yackwa.

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of various lipids on the quality of Yackwa. Sesame oil, soybean oil, margarine for cream, margarine for pie and shortening were used as lipid for making dough of Yackwa in this study. The expansion rate of Yackwa ranked in the order of shortening, margarine for pie, soybean oil, margarine for cream and sesame oil. The Yackwa made with shortening showed low hardness, cohesiveness, gumminess and brittleness such as the ones made with sesame oil. The Yackwa made with sesame oil was oily and showed the lowest acceptability, but the Yackwa of shortening gained the highest score of acceptability in sensory evaluation. In conclusion. this experimental result indicated that shortening would be very useful as a substitute for sesame oil in making Yackwa.

This study aimed to assess the antioxidative potential of adding ethanolic extracts from Ulmus davidiana to Yackwa (Korean fried cookie). The reducing power and antioxidant activity of U. davidiana-treated Yackwa were assessed against DPPH, nitric oxide, superoxide anions, superoxide dismutase, and ABTS radicals. Increasing the amount of U. davidiana extract in Yackwa dough resulted in improved antioxidant properties. U. davidiana extracts were effective antioxidants with a radical scavenging potency similar to the potency of butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) and L-ascorbic acid. The DPPH and nitric oxide radical scavenging activity of Yackwa containing 0.2% U. davidiana resulted in increased oxidative stability relative to control dough. Although the antioxidant effects of Yackwa containing U. davidiana extract were lower than those of Yackwa containing BHT and L-ascorbic acid, these results suggest that U. davidiana extracts have potent antioxidant activity. Accordingly, U. davidiana extract is a potential additive for deep-fried foods, such as Yackwa, to improve their oxidative stability.

Yackwa was prepared by substituting syrup with xylitol (0, 10, 20, and 30%) and the quality characteristics were evaluated. Volume and specific volume were higher in Yackwa prepared with xylitol than the control. Crude fat content of xylitol-containing Yackwa were significantly higher than that of control (p<0.05), but moisture content was not different among treatments. Incorporation of xylitol in Yackwa lowered the redness and yellowness values (p<0.05). Instrumental hardness results showed that the addition of xylitol decreased the hardness of Yackwa. Sensory evaluation revealed no significant difference in overall desirability between control-and xylitol-containing groups. Therefore, Yackwa made with up to 30% xylitol in place of syrup is as acceptable as control Yackwa without depressing sensory quality.

This study aimed to find oils that can replace high-priced sesame oil. The quality of baked Yackwa containing different types of oils (rice bran, olive, or sesame oils) and amount of oils (30, 35, 40%) were investigated. The hardness of the baked Yackwa depended on the amount of oil, as more oil led to a softer texture of baked Yackwa. According to sensory evaluations, baked Yackwa with rice bran oil received the highest score in taste quality, with sesame oil receiving the second highest score. The flavor of baked Yackwa containing the rice bran oil was also better than other samples. In contrast, there were no significant differences in taste between other samples, including baked Yackwa containing all ingredients, 40% sesame oil, and 40% olive oil. The overall acceptance showed the highest score in baked Yackwa with rice bran oil (35%). In conclusion, rice bran oil (35%) is recommended as an oil ingredient for baked Yackwa.

A type of Korean traditional cookies, yackwa is composed of ingredients which serve as good medicine to people. Further, it has a priceless value and possibility to be a healthy functional dessert. For this study, we developed variable yackwa, containing red-ginseng powder and green tea powder, in order to target the foreign market as well as to investigate the perception and preference of yackwa. The test sample for the control group, yackwa is made of flour, sugar, baking powder, sesame oil and alcohol. For the experimental group, yackwa contains red-ginseng and green tea powder (3, 6, 9, 12%). The investigation period was May 14th, 2013 and the total number of participants was 100. The investigation applied a consumer survey method by filling out a questionnaire while tasting 9 kinds of yackwa samples. They were used for frequency, one-way ANOVA and Pearson's correlation analysis with SPSS 19.0. In the yackwa perception survey, the result indicated that 52.0% of the customers replied 'Do not know well' and 'Do not know at all' which conveys that the perception of yackwa is very low. In contrast, the perception of the red-ginseng and green tea which are functional ingredients is high and the customers tend to prefer the taste and flavor of green tea than red-ginseng. And they prefer the yackwa containing 3% of red-ginseng and green tea powder compared to other ratio contents in the overall preference, color, taste, flavor, odor, degree of greasiness and texture. When people who have a higher perception of yackwa, they tended to prefer the color of red-ginseng yackwa and dislike the color of green tea yackwa. And the more people prefer the taste of green tea, the higher in overall preference, color, taste, flavor, and odor preference.

This study was designed to characterize the physicochemical effects of the addition of rice wine cake(0, 1, 2, 4%) to yackwa. Dietary fiber, volume, SEM, TBA, color, texture characteristics and sensory evaluation of yackwa were investigated. The dietary fiber content of rice wine cake was 10.24%, and the dietary fiber content of yackwa increased with added rice wine cake. The extensibility value increased with more rice wine cake. SEM revealed, many holes in a delicate structure with many layers. During a 4-week storage period, yackwa containing rice wine cake had lower TBA values than control, except for the sample containing 4% rice wine cake. The TBA value of yackwa containing 4% rice wine cake had the highest TBA value. The L value and b value of samples decreased with the addition of rice wine cake and storage time, but the value increased with added rice wine cake according to the storage time. The hardness, cohesiveness and gumminess of yackwa increased according to the time of storage and the addition of rice wine cake, but the springiness and chewiness of yackwa decreased. In sensory evaluations, all items received the lower scores according to the storage time. Yackwa that contained 1%(RWC1) received the highest score for color and flavor, and yackwa that contained 2% (RWC2) had the highest score for crispness and roast. Overall preference was, in order: RWC2 > RWC1 > CON > RWC4. Yackwa that contained $1{\sim}2%$ rice wine cake possessed superior features in most of the quality properties and in sensory evaluation, so yackwa that contains rice wine cake can be used as a functional food.
