This study was intended to investigate the optimal soaking time of glutinous rice for making jujube Injeolmi, a kind of traditional Korean glutinous rice cake. The jujube Injeolmi was prepared with glutinous rice soaked for various times (2, 4, 6, 8, 10 hr), and the moisture content, chromaticity, sensory qualities and mechanical qualities were measured while storing them up to 72 hr at 20$^{\circ}C$. The moisture content and L-value of jujube Injeolmi were the highest at 8-hr soaking. The a-value was the highest at 6-hr soaking. The hardness was maintained the lowest at the 8-hr soaked sample during storage. The cohesiveness and springiness were not significantly affected by the soaking time. The gumminess was significantly different among the samples during storage. The results of sensory evaluation showed that jujube Injeolmi had the best color at 4-hr soaking and the highest sweetness at 6-hr soaking. The 8-hr soaked glutinous rice gave the highest level of softness, chewiness and moistness in the sample, therefore, 8-hr soaking appeared to be the most desirable method for making jujube Ingeolmi.

This study aimed to find optimum addition of jujube powder to glutinous rice in the preparation of daechu injeolmi (rice cake). The daechu injeolmi added with 10% jujube powder gave the highest moisture content of 52.9% among treatments. Higher amount of jujube powder up to 14% resulted in lower 'L' and higher 'a' values of the cake. Hardness of the cake showed the lowest value for the 10% jujbe-added cake during the storage of 24 hours, while it was so for 14% jujube-added cake after 36 hour storage. Little change was observed with time in the cohesiveness for the cake added with jujube powder in more than in the 8% level. 10% addition of the jujube powder was found to be the best recipe based on the sensory qualities of softness, chewiness, moistness and overall acceptability, which were also well correlated with physical properties.
