It has been the need for commercializing Korean traditional food using the grains like the Korean rice cake as improvement in the food life depending on advanced food processing and changes to the industrial society. However, the Korean traditional food using the grains has some weak point such as the hardness as retrogradation of starch, reducing of texture and flavor, and decrease of coefficient digestibility in human body if it's left unattended for a long time. In this paper, it was investigated that the delaying or preventing method for retrogradation of Korean rice cake at its production and storage using the literature search of patent.

We have got the following results from tests in the course of time retrogradation and taste change in bread with added flour of Angelica keiskei Koidz, which had been stored in room temperature (27±2oC), refrigerating(2±1oC) and freezing( 20±1oC), respectively. Bread with the added flour showed a little lower degree of retrogradation than control group, and every group in room temperature retrograded from the very first day. The degree of retrogradation of the group in refrigerating was far greater comparing with the group in room temperature. The longer bread was stored, the lower the degree of retrogradation was, and the higher the adding rate of the flour got, the later its retrogradation happened. Especially the flour of this vegetable's stem turned out to be the most effective in retarding its retrogradation. Group stored 30 days in freezing didn't show a wide difference in retrograde comparing with the group before storage. Preference for color and shape of the flour added bread stored in room temperatue, refrigerating and freezing did not change significantly from the group before storage. Although preference decreased for flavor, texture, mouth feel and overall quality with the lapse of time, flour added group improved in preference for these factors comparing with the control group. Above all, added flour of pretreated stem proved to be the most effective in the sensory tests. With respect to the storing method, the group stored in refrigerating showed greater preference for the texture and mouth feel over the groups in room temperature and freezing. Flavor preference of the group in freezing was the lowest of all.

The texture and descriptive sensory characteristics of a Korean rice cake(Karedduk) with added emulsifier were investigated after 2 and 24 hrs of storage at $5^{\circ}C$. The emulsifier, SP, was added at 0, 0.1, 0.5 and 1% levels to the dry rice flour. In the amylogram, the peak viscosity(P), hot paste viscosity(H) and cold paste viscosity(C) of the rice flour with added emulsifier were higher than those of the control. The texture property analysis by a Texture Analyzer revealed that the springiness, cohesiveness and adhesiveness of the Korean rice cake(Karedduk) with added emulsifier were similar to those of the control, while chewiness, gumminess and hardness were lower compared to the control. Also, the hardness by sensory characteristics was significantly different as compared to the control. Lastly, adding emulsifier to the Korean rice cake(Karedduk) was effective at retarding retrogradation.

The purpose of this study was to select an ingredient acting as a natural emulsifier to retard the retrogradation of rice cake by the measurement of mechanical characteristics of the cakes. For the purpose, Backsulgi, the most basic type of rice cake, was prepared by adding various ingredients having high contents of lecithin such as raw soybean powder, parched soybean powder, soybean oil, egg yolk powder, and the measurements and observations on the chromaticity, swelling power, pore ratio and cross-section were made. In addition, changes in the textural characteristics of Backsulgi samples were determined while storing them at the temperatures of 4$^{\circ}C$ and 20$^{\circ}C$ for 0, 1, 2 and 3 days. The results of the study were as follows: 1. In terms of chromaticity, the Backsulgi samples added with egg yolk powder, raw soybean flour and parched soybean flour were higher in yellowness(b) than the controls. 2. Both swelling power and pore ratio of Backsulgies added with raw soybean flour were higher than those of controls. 3. A cross-sectional observation using an electron microscope indicated that rice flour particles of controls had uneven pores and were conglomerated in a large lump while Backsulgi samples of raw soybean flour or roasted soybean flour had large and even pores and showed loosened bonding to be transformed into a sponge shape. 4. In hardness, Backsulgi samples added with raw soybean flour had less changes in hardness than that of controls, indicating that the effect of retarding retrogradation was higher when the storage time got longer.

DSC was used to investigate the thermal mechanism of acorn and corn starch with or without saccharides on gelation and retrogradation. When the samples were starch-saccharide-water system (s-s-w), from measuring of gelation enthalpy and temperatures of initial gelation, peak and conclusion(T$\_$0/, T$\_$p/, T$\_$c/), those of s-s-w system were higher than those of stank-water system (s-w). The retrogradation enthalpy of acorn starch and corn starch was straightly increasing by DSC measurement as storage times. This increase meant slowly becoming recrygtallization of amylopectin. In retrogyadation process, the starch-saccharide-water system's enthalpy was also increased. After 7 days went, the value of the enthalpy was steady. Saccharides were retarding retrogrodation because of stopping the recrystallization of amylopectin. Especially in using fructose and maltose, the retrogradation effect of maltose was well. These elements took effect the number of juntion zone, one of equatorial OH and dynamic hydration number. As these three elements were increasing, a starch-Rel-system was stabilizing.

The retrogradation properties of a Korean rice cake ($Karedduk$) added with oligosaccharides after 0~30 hr of storage at $5^{\circ}C$ were examined by texture profile analysis and the Avrami equation using textural characteristics. Oligosaccharides, such as galactooligosaccharide (50%) and maltooligosaccharide, were added to dry rice flour at levels of 10%. In the amylogram, the breakdown (P-H) and consistency (C-H) of the Korean rice cake (Karedduk) added with oligosaccharides were lower than those of the control. Texture profile analysis using a Texture Analyzer revealed that the hardness of the Korean rice cake ($Karedduk$) added with oligosaccharides was lower than the control. The Avrami exponent ($n$) for the control, galactooligosaccharide (50%) 10% and maltooligosaccharide 10% addition was 2.415, 2.771 and 2.683, respectively. The time constant (1/$k$) for galactooligosaccharide (50%) 10% or maltooligosaccharide 10% addition was higher than the control. Overall, adding galactooligosaccharide (50%) 10% or maltooligosaccharide 10% to a Korean rice cake ($Karedduk$) is effective in retarding retrogradation.

Effects of the addition of three commercial oligosaccharide syrups into a Korean rice cake (Karedduk) on the textural characteristics and retrogradation of the rice cake were examined during the storage for 5 days at $25^{\circ}C$ and $4^{\circ}C$. Each syrups contained maltose (M75), isomaltose and panose (HL), or maltotetraose (G4) as major sugars. The increment (rates) in gumminess, hardness and chewiness during the storage were significantly reduced by replacing rice flour (up to 10%) with the oligosaccharides. The retardation in the textural changes by the oilgosaccharides was more significant when the rice cake was stored at $25^{\circ}C$ than at $4^{\circ}C$. Among the three types, HL exhibited most effective in retarding the textural changes. Thermograms by a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) showed that the oligosaccharide increased the onset temperatures and enthalpy for the starch melting, but the recrystallinity measured from the enthalpy ratio before and after the storage was significantly reduced by the presence of the oligosaccharide. Especially with 5% HL, the recrystallinity was significantly low (72.7%) compared to rice cake without HL (88.1%). Therefore, HL had great efficiency in retarding starch retrogradation as well as textural changes of the rice cake during the storage.

This study investigated the effects of teff flour on the properties of pound cakes. Five types of pound cakes were made by addition of 0% (Control), 5% (TF5), 10% (TF10), 15% (TF15), and 20% (TF20) of teff flour based on wheat flour. Specific gravity of pound cake batter showed no significant differences among samples as 0.54 (p<0.05). Baking loss was the highest in the control at 5.92% and the lowest in TF20 at 5.27%. Batter yield was the highest in TF20 at 94.73% and the lowest in control at 94.08%. Moisture content was the highest in TF20 at 23.68% and the lowest in control at 21.32%. pH showed no significant differences among samples at 7.61~7.65 (p<0.05). a-values of crumb significantly increased while L-values and b-values significantly decreased with added teff flour amounts. (p<0.05). ${\Delta}E$ values significantly increased with teff flour at 34.32~49.24 (p<0.05). Hardness was lowest in TF20 at $180.60g/cm^2$. Springiness was the lowest in TF20 at 85.37%. Cohesiveness showed no significant differences among samples (p<0.05). Chewiness was the lowest in TF20 at 172.17 g. Hardness more rapidly increased in control at $273.13{\sim}26,123.33g/cm^2$ than that of pound cakes with teff flour. Avrami exponent (n) was the highest in the control at 3.5987 and the lowest in TF20 at 1.2144. In sensory evaluation, flavor of TF20 was higher than that of the control at 4.43. Overall acceptability had a higher score in TF20 than in the control. It is considered that addition of 20% teff flour can improve the quality characteristics and retard retrogradation of pound cake.

The quality characteristics of Korean rice cakes (Karedduk) with a mixture of fructooligosaccharide (95%) and AA (acetylated adipate distarch) added, after 2 and 24 hours of storage at $5^{\circ}C$, were investigated. A central composite design was used for arrangement of treatment. Different levels of fructooligosaccharide (95%), 0, 3, 6, 9, and 12%, were added to dry rice flour. In addition, different levels of AA, 0, 0.3, 0.6, 0.9, and 1.2%, were added to the same dry rice flour. The texture properties analysis using a Texture Analyzer revealed that the springiness, cohesiveness, chewiness, gumminess, adhesiveness, and hardness were significantly different. The effect of retarding retrogradation of Korean rice cakes (Karedduk) with added mixtures of fructooligosaccharide (95%) and AA showed an increasing trend as the amount of fructooligosaccharide (95%) and AA increased. Overall, the instrumental texture properties were highly correlated with the sensory characteristics. These results suggest that adding a mixture of 6% fructooligosaccharide (95%) and 1.2% AA to Korean rice cakes (Karedduk) is effective for retarding retrogradation.

Demand for a rice cake, a popular traditional food in Korea, is rising, but its industrial-scale production is extremely difficult due to its short shelf-life caused by starch retrogradation and microbial spoilage. By means of the sourdough fermentation technique, we attempt to develop rice cakes with a longer shelf-life. Heterofermentative lactic acid bacteria (Weissella koreensis HO20, Weissella kimchii HO22) isolated from kimchi were used to ferment wet-milled rice flour for their abilities to produce exopolysaccharides and to inhibit the microbial spoilage of rice cakes. After 24 hr of fermentation at $25^{\circ}C$, viable cell counts in rice dough increased from $10^6$ CFU/g to $10^8$ CFU/g and total titratable acidity increased from 0.05% to 0.20%, whereas pH decreased from 6.5 to 5.1. Fermented rice flour showed significantly lower peak, trough, and final viscosities as well as breakdown and setback viscosities measured by rapid viscoanalyzer. Both lactic acid bacteria showed in vitro antifungal activity against Penicillium crustosum isolated from rice cakes. The antifungal activity remained constant after the treatments with heat, proteinase K and trypsin, but fell significantly by increase of pH. Rice cakes made of fermented rice flour were found to retard mycelial growth of P. crustosum. The degree of retrogradation as measured by the hardness of the rice cake was significantly reduced by the use of fermented rice flour. The results suggest that use of fermented rice flour has a beneficial role in retarding starch retrogradation and in preventing fungal growth, hence extending the shelf-life of rice cakes.
