This study was performed to improve the quality and extend the shelf life of Yukwa and Salyeotgangjung, traditional Korean cookies, by using fine hot salt instead of oil as the popping medium. Yukwa and Salyeotgangjung were popped with fine salt, and the size, sensory evaluation, color values and textural properties were then compared with those popped in oil. The results showed that the Yukwa base with salt was popped the most at 140C and the rice was popped at 240C. The Yukwa base in salts was smaller in size and larger in density than in oil but the popped rice in salts had a similar size and a smaller density than that popped in oil. In the sensory test, the Yukwa base and popped rice expanded in the salts were preferred to those popped in oil but there was little difference in only popped rice. In terms of color, there was a difference between those popped in salt and in oil. In terms of texture, only popped rice expanded in the salts was harder than in oil, and the Yukwa popped in oil was more cohesive than in the salts. In brittleness, there were no differences between in salt and in oil.

This study was carried out to improve the qualities and extend the shelf life of Yukwa and Salyeotgangjung, traditional Korean cookies, using fine hot salt instead of oil as the popping medium. The Yukwa and Salyeotgangjung that had been popped using fine salt were stored at 25\ulcornerfor one or two months, and then compared their sensory evaluation, lipid contents and acid and peroxide values with those popped in oil. In the sensory test, the Yukwa base and popped rice expanded in the salts and stored for one month were preferred to those expanded in oil with regard to flavor and overall acceptability. With respect to the whiteness, off-flavor, and crispness, these properties those expanded in salt had stronger whiteness and crispness but a weaker off-flavor compared to those expanded in oil. The lipid contents of the Yukwa base and popped rice expanded in oil were 37.73 and 49.65%, respectively, which were significantly higher than in those expanded in salts (0.10 and 0.53%, respectively). The acid and peroxide values were larger in those expanded oil than in salts after 8 weeks storage. In view of the above results, the conclusion was reached that the Yukwa base and popped rice expanded in salts were less likely to provide a calorie intake and to become rancid over a long storage time.
