This study was conducted to preserve the quality of Gangjung (Traditional Korean cookies) during storage with the addition of sorbitol in Gangjung dough. Sorbitol was added with different levels (0, 1.5, 3%) in the Gangjung dough and the Gangjung samples were stored for different periods (1, 16, and 31 days). Compared to the control group, the Gangjung samples with sorbitol groups had higher moisture content, expansion ratio, and ceil size. As the storage was extended, peroxide values, hardness, fracturability, chewiness and stickiness to teeth were increased, while cohesiveness, moistness, and degree of melting were decreased. From the PCA in the sensory analysis, Gangjung with addition of 3% sorbitol stored for 1, 16, and 31 days showed high levels in moistness, cohesiveness, degree of expansion, cell size, and degree of melting, whiie Gangjung in control group stored for 16 and 31 days showed high levels in fracturability, heated oil flavor, chewiness, and stickiness to teeth. The moisture content of Gangjung was significantly increased as the level of sorbitol was increased. The changes of physicochemical and sensory characteristics by storage were increased in control groups the most, 1.5% sorbitol groups the next, and 3% sorbitol groups the least. Therefore, the sorbitol added groups could be delayed in the quality deterioration during storage, especially in the texture, and could be increased in the preservation of Gangjung.

As already pointed out increasing the concentration of dried insam with gangjung becomes progressing the antioxidant effect: 1. The antioxidant effect of gangjung with untried insam increased than gangjung and above 6.0% of undried insam is same of the storage stability, 6 months 2. The more increased acid value(AV) and the peroxide value(POV) of susaln gangjung the longer period of storage, but there was no significient difference with the kinds of adding methods. 3. Sensory evaluation of preference for flavor gangjung with increased according to increasing concentration of undried insam but 6.0% undried insam in maltose was the best among samples.

We evaluated the sensory characteristics of Gangjung base obtained from various manufacturers, using a sensory descriptive analysis. Significant differences were observed for all sensory attributes of Gangjung samples with the exception of 'toothpacking'. Sample A showed high intensities for 'external color', 'external roughness', 'sweetness', 'toasted soybean powder flavor', 'crispness', 'fracturability', 'oiliness', and 'loose particles,' whereas it had low intensities for 'rice flour flavor', 'hardness', and 'toughness' compared to those of other samples. Sample B had more 'sourness', 'butyric acid flavor', 'fermented rice flavor', and 'degree of melting' but lower 'air cell size', 'fracturability', and 'flake roughness'. Sample C showed high intensities for 'expansion', 'hardness', 'crispness', and 'flake roughness', whereas sample D showed low intensities for 'expansion' and 'sourness'. These results indicate that Gangjung base samples are markedly different depending on the manufacturer.

The quality of Gangjung added with detoxified stem bark of Rhus verniciflua (RVSB) extract ($0{\sim}7%$, w/w) during room temperature storage ($25^{\circ}C$, 60 days) was investigated. The moisture content of Gangjung slightly decreased as the storage period increased, especially Gangjung at concentrations between $0{\sim}1%$, $3{\sim}5%$, and 7% decreased after 30, 40 and 50 days of storage, respectively. No significant differences in the hardness were found among the control and experimental samples. However, the peak number of Gangjung containing detoxified RVSB extract at concentrations of $0{\sim}3%$ significantly decreased after 60 days of storage, while that of Gangjung with 5% and 7% addition were not changed during storage. The acid, peroxide and TBA values of Gangjung increased as the storage period increased but the acid value was significantly lower for the Gangjung prepared with 7% (w/w) detoxified RVSB extract after 40 days of storage. Moreover, from 40 to 60 days of room temperature storage, peroxide value significantly decreased as the concentrations of detoxified RVSB extract increased and TBA value significantly decreased when the addition of detoxified RVSB extract was over 3% (w/w). These results suggest that the physical texture of Gangjung improved and lipid oxidation was reduced by the addition of detoxified RVSB extract.

The quality characteristics of Gangjung added with detoxified Rhus verniciflua stem bark (RVSB) extract, as well as the changes that occurred in the product during accelerated storage ($60^{\circ}C$, 24 hr), were investigated. The expansion rate of Gangjung was not significantly different (p < 0.05). The L-value of the Gangjung with added detoxified RVSB extract was higher than the control, while the a-value decreased as the addition levels of the detoxified RVSB extract increased. The b-value was highest for the Gangjung prepared with 7% (w/w) detoxified RVSB extract. The moisture content of the Gangjung decreased as the storage period increased, but the addition of detoxified RVSB extract (p < 0.05) did not significantly change this effect. We found no significant difference in the hardness of the Gangjung within the concentration range of 0-7% (w/w) detoxified RVSB extract, and the peak number slightly decreased as the storage period increased. After 16 hr of storage, the acid value was significantly lower for the Gangjung containing detoxified RVSB extract at concentration between 5-7%. Furthermore, after 12 hr of accelerated storage, peroxide and TBA values significantly decreased with additions of detoxified RVSB extract that were over 3% (w/w). These results suggest that the physical texture of Gangjung did not improve by the addition of detoxified RVSB extract; however, its rate of lipid oxidation was reduced.

The antioxidant effect and sensory evaluation of various concentration of dried insam on gangjung was investigated far 6 months. The results were as follows: 1. The antioxidant effect of each sample were in the rank order of 0>0.5>1.0>1.5>2.0>2.5% of dried insam at 2$0^{\circ}C$ by acid and peroxide value but the effect did not increase pro-portionally with increasing concentration.2. In 3 months, acid and peroxide values increased slowly showing, but after 3 months, acid and peroxide values increased remarkably. 3. The acid value(AV) and the peroxide value(POV) of dried insam gangjung increased according to storage term but there was no significant difference with the kinds of adding methods of dried insam. 4. Sensory evaluation of preference for flavor, texture, taste and total quality of six samples by multiple paired comparison test indicated that gangjung with 1.5% dried insam In maltose was the best among samples.

This study investigated the proximate composition, sweetness, color, texture, and sensory properties of baked Gangjung prepared using different coating syrups (maltose syrup, oligosaccharide, rice syrup, and maltitol syrup). The crude protein content was 3.22~3.28% in baked Gangjung prepared with maltose syrup, oligosaccharide, or rice syrup, while that prepared using maltitol syrup had 2.61%. Crude ash was the highest when rice syrup was used (1.08%), and the lowest when maltose syrup or oligosaccharide was used (0.64% and 0.68%, respectively). The sweetness of the baked Gangjung was the highest in the rice syrup group, at $70.07^{\circ}Brix$, and lowest in the maltose syrup group, at $33.5^{\circ}Brix$ (p<0.05). The hardness of the Gangjung prepared with the different coating syrups was the highest for the grain syrup (1.42), followed by the oligosaccharide group at 0.96, maltose syrup (0.40), and maltitol syrup (0.35) (p<0.05). The number of peaks and the indirect measure of crispness also showed the highest values for the rice syrup group (p<0.05), but there was no significant difference among the values in the other groups. Lightness was in the range of 63.26~73.04 depending on the coating syrup, decreasing from the oligosaccharide to the maltitol, rice syrup, and then to the maltose syrup group (p<0.05). The a-value was the highest for the maltose and rice syrup groups at 10.69 and 10.38, respectively (p<0.05), and the b-value showed the same trend. Baked Gangjung showed the highest scores for color, flavor, and overall preference when prepared using maltitol syrup.

The purpose of this study was to develop a drying method of Gangjung. a traditional Korean snack, thus to reduce the drying time and to improve the quality of Gangjung. Two drying methods, hot air drying and far infrared ray drying were used by changing conditions such as air velocity(0.4, 1.2, 1.6 m/s), temperature(40, 50, 60$\^{C}$), and aging. Optimal moisture content of dried Gangjung pellet was 17% which was proper for frying. Cracks appeared on the surface of Gangjung pellet at lower levels of moisture content. Far infrared ray drying saved drying time about 20%. Both hot air drying and far infrared ray drying at 0.4 m/s of air velocity tended to show better quality of Gangjung than those dried at higher air velocities. The expansion volume and texture of Gangjung drying at 40$\^{C}$ was better than other temperature conditions, regardless of drying methods. Quality of Gangjung, dried at single stage without aging, was superior to those dried at double stage including aging process. Moreover, single stage drying save the drying time at least 24 hr. Gangjung dried at high temperature became hard and less brittle in sensory evaluation. In image analysis, air cell distribution in inner structure of Gangjung became uniform and fine as drying temperature decreased to 40$\^{C}$. Overall, Gangjung made of Gangjung pellet by the use of far infrared ray drying at 40$\^{C}$ without aging, showed the best quality in terms of physical and sensory properties.

Differences in physiochemical characteristics of row waxy rice, steeped in optimum steeping conditions ($31.5^{\circ}C$, 9 days) were investigated along with the relationship between these properties and the quality characteristics of Gangjung made from ten different varieties of waxy rice in order to identify the optimal waxy rice variety for making Gangjung. The moisture content of ten waxy rice varieties was increased, but protein and ash contents were decreased during steeping. Mineral analysis, showed that the Fe, Mg, Ca, Na and K contents of all samples were decreased during steeping. Regarding the gelatinization behavior of the ten waxy rice varieties, the peak viscosity and breakdown were increased with the exception of Backjinju and Backjinju-1 during steeping. Shinsunchalbyeo was the most adaptable waxy rice variety for making Gangjung, as its tested scores for expansion ratio and crispness were higher than other waxy rice varieties. The textural properties of Gangjung made from Backjinju and Backjinju-1 had the highest levels of hardness and showed the lowest expansion ratios. Therefore, Backjinju and Backjinju-1 are considered the worst varieties for making Gangjung.
