A partial replacement($0{\sim}30%$) of non-waxy rice(Samgangbyeo, Tongil type) was attempted in Yukwa(Korean traditional puffed rice cake) preparation. The yukwa prepared with the replacement of non-waxy rice up to 20% level was comparable in quality to the traditional yukwa in view of expansion rate, crispness and hardness followed by sonsory evaluation. Continuous whipping machine for making yukwa bandaekee(rice cake) could be successfully introduced for mass production.

For extending the shelf-life of Yukwa (oil puffed rice cake) which is one of the most favorable Korean traditional rice snack, the Yukwa was packed in $O_2$ preventive container and substituted the air with $N_2$ gas or packed with $O_2$ absorbent (ageless sachet). The quality of Yukwa stored at $35^{\circ}C$ was evaluated by POV, AV and TBA including sensory evaluation. The POV of oil in Yukwa of $N_2$ substitute pack and absorbent sachet included were 5.3 and 11.9 meq/kg, respectively, while no packing (control) was 195.5 meq/kg after 90 days storage at $35^{\circ}C$. AV and TBA were also same trend but the gap with the control was not so big. The Yukwa, $N_2$ gas substituted, was better in quality than absorbent treatment in sensory evaluation and no difference was detected in quality of 90 days storage Yukwa at $35^{\circ}C$ with 15 days. The main reason for lower sensory score of absorbent treatment was that the $O_2$ absorbent also absorbed the flavor component of Yukwa.
