Purpose - Korean traditional markets are falling behind the times, because they have not met the demands of social changes including: an overall improvement in standards of living, shift in purchasing form and propagation of cars. It is one of the most indigenous and conventional foods of Korea, taking a seat far in the corner of Korean traditional culture. Research design / data / methodology - Korean traditional rice cakes however have their limits. They are produced and sold by independent shop owners who cannot compete with the brand power of franchise organizations. The leadership of adminstration is needed for these shop owners particularly in visual merchandising related to interior design and display. Results - Additionally, the advent of major company-run rice cake cafe adds fresh fuel to the problem in addition to small but luxurious packaging. Small business owners need packaging technology for overall quality improvement of sales of rice cakes. Additional help is needed with the mode of packing to promote sales and win consumer confidence. Conclusions - Further assistance with marketing for seasonal displays is needed as well as teaching business owners how to read graphic data. Regular specialized education for visual merchandising of rice cakes could help independent market owners win the competition against franchise-based organizations.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of the addition of various amounts (0, 1, 3, 5%) of Mokdanpi(P. suffruticosa) powder on the shelf life and the physicochemical, sensory characteristics of rice cakes and noodles to examine the possibility of using Mokdanpi as a natural food preservative for food products. The decrease in the moisture content of rice cake and noodle samples during storage was much less in Mokdanpi-added groups than the control group. The color L value increased and a and b values decreased in the rice cake samples, and color L value, b value decreased and a value increased in the noodle samples during storage. The microbial growth was less in Mokdanpi-added groups than the control group. In sensory evaluation, there were no significant differences among the control and 1, 3%-added groups in terms of color, flavor, taste, moistness, cohesiveness and overall quality; however, 5%-added groups received significantly less score than others (p＜0.05). As the storage time increased, the sensory scores decreased significantly in the control and 1 %-added groups of both rice cakes and noodles (p＜0.05), but no changes were observed in 3, 5%-added samples. The results suggested that Mokdanpi is effective in increasing the shelf life and inhibiting the staling of rice cakes and noodles.

This study attempts to analyze the physicochemical characteristics of rice flour developed as rice powder for exclusive use, steamed rice cake recipes developed as basic recipefor rice cakes. The study also aims to compare the quality characteristics of steamed rice cakes in an effort to establish the possibilities of developing various rice cake recipes. The moisture content and amylose content increased as the rice powder particles for exclusive use became finer. With regards to water uptake, in the case of the Hungara type, the water uptake increased as rice powder particles increased in size. In the case of the Shingil and commercial types, the water uptake decreased as rice powder particles increased in size, and solubility and swelling force decreased as rice powder particles increased in size. In the case of chromaticity, Sulgidduk made with rice powder for exclusive use the brightness (L value) increased as powder particles became finer and the yellow indexes (b value) decreased, and this was especially pronounced in the Shingil type. The measurements of changes in the mechanical textures of Sulgidduk showed that rice types with larger particles led to lower hardness, cohesiveness, springiness, and chewiness.

Sponge cakes were prepared by replacing wheat flour with rice flour ranging from 10-40% and their physico-chemical, textural and sensory properties were examined. Rice flour addition decreased the moisture content and increased the total sugar and protein contents of the sponge cake. The viscosity and specific volume of batter increased with rice flour addition. 'L' values of crumb of sponge cakes with 20% or more rice flour were lower, whereas corresponding 'a' values were higher than those of the control. Textural hardness was increased, and textural cohesiveness and springiness were decreased with the addition of 30% or 40% rice flour. perceived that sponge cake with 20% or more rice flour had a weaker sweet flavor than the others. With the addition of 30% or 40% rice flour, sponge cake showed a stronger roasted and weaker greasy flavor, and less softness and cohesiveness than the other sponge cakes. The sensory did not find my significant difference in overall acceptability between the control and rice flour-added sponge cakes. Therefore, wheat flour could be replaced by rice flour up to 40% without reducing acceptability.

Imwonshibyukji is a copying manuscript written around 1825, the 27th year of king Soonjo of the Chosun Period. It is a massive home encyclopedia of total 52 books and 100 volumes. It was quoted from many Chinese literatures The unpublished 'Jeongjoji'of its 17-20th volumes was analyzed to study the cooking methods on the Korean rice cakes (dduck) and studied for the degree of their usefulness and medical values in the light of the cooking and processing science. The book introduced 6 kinds of Korean rice cake: sirudduck (steamed rice cake), chinundduck (steamed and struck rice cake), zizinundduck (small oil fried rice cake), danggui (steamed rice cake mixed with rice power and honey), hondon (=danja: boiled and stuffed rice cake) and butu (fermented rice cake), all of which were composed of total 64 items. The main materials fur the Korean rice cake were as follows: sirudduck and butu were nonwaxy rice powder, chinundduct dinggui and hondon were glutinous rice powder, and zizinundduck was wheat flour. The side material was mainly natural food with the effect of a medicine. The literatures quoted in Imwonshibyukji are as follows: 4 Korean books including Ongheejabji were quoted total 28 times (41.5%), 5 Chinese books including Junsengpaljeon were quoted total 35times (52.2%), and I Japanese book Whawhansamjedohoi was quoted total 4 times (6.0%). The Korean rice cakes quoted in the Korean literature so far exist but the Chinese ones no longer exist. In the comparative analysis of Imwonshibyukji and other contemporary literatures, Chosunmoossangsinsikyorijebub was the most similar one to the book among others.

The HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point) system was applied to Handmade Rice Cakes. The main ingredients of rice cakes, work facilities and workers were provided from the KB company located in Seogye-dong Yongsan-gu, Seoul between September 12, 2012 and February 13, 2013. The manufacturing process chart was prepared by referring to the manufacturing process of rice cake manufacturers in general. Microbiological hazard analysis of the raw materials and after the steaming process of rice-cakes showed a safe result. On the other hand, the microorganism test on the manufacturing environment and workers suggested that the microbiological hazard can be reduced through systematic cleaning and disinfection, accompanied by improved personal hygiene based on hygienic education for workers on the management of microorganisms in the working area.

Aflatoxin is a secondary fungal metabolite and is a public health hazard because it is a human carcinogenic and has many deleterious effects in men and animals. Rice is one of the better substrates far the fungus which can produce aflatoxins. This study was performed to investigate aflatoxin reduction during the cooking and processing of rice. Aflatoxin was produced by Aspergillus parasiticus ATCC 15517 on well-milled rice (Japonica type) at the level of 13.2 ppb. Cooked rice, rice cakes (baek-sol-gi, plain steamed rice bread), fermented rice (sikhye, sweet rice beverage), and popped rice were prepared from the aflatoxin-contaminated rice. Aflatoxin content in the samples was determined by high performance liquid chromatography. The total aflatoxin level was decreased to 46.9% in the cooked rice, 85.6% in the rice cakes, 11.4% in the fermented rice, and 7.6% in the popped rice, respectively (p.0.05). This reduction brought the level of aflatoxins down to below the Standard and Specification of korea (10 ppb), except for the rice cakes. These results indicate that washing, steaming, fermentation, and popping of rice was helpful in reducing the aflatoxin level in the rice and the most helpful factors were high temperature & high pressure. More research is needed to understand why the preparation of rice cakes did not reduce the level of aflatoxin as much as the other cooking methods.
