This study was performed to examine the effect of various alcoholic drinks used for the preparation of Yakwa dough on the quality characteristics of Yakwa. The effects were compared with the ones prepared with water in terms of expansion ratio, micro-structure, mechanical and sensory characteristics. The dough with alcoholic drinks produced Yakwa samples with increased volume and pores compared with the dough of water. The cohesiveness, springiness, and gumminess were decreased in the samples with alcoholic drinks, but the brittleness was increased. The Yakwa samples with alcoholic drinks were evaluated better in sensory characteristics of nice-smelling, softness, and acceptability compared with the ones of water. There were no differences in the quality of Yakwa among the alcoholic drinks used.

For the purpose of promoting the consumption of rice powder, 5 cultivars were applied differently to establish the optimal manufacturing conditions and measured Hunter color values, hardness and expansion rate of Yakgwa for the optimal conditions. Looking into the optimal manufacturing conditions of Yakgwa, the commercial flour-facilitating Yakgwa is shown to have a great shape when the mold is made with a thick paste for C-2 manufacturing method, Hangaru 100 mesh for H100-2 manufacturing method, Hangaru 200 mesh for H200-2 manufacturing method, Shingil 100 mesh for S100-2 manufacturing method, and Shingil 200 mesh for S200-1 manufacturing method. It also showed a trend of chewy taste after frying without cracks. Hunter color values (L) and red chromaticity and value b of yellow chromaticity indicated a lower value for the commercial flour and Hangaru 200 mesh in its entirety. The hardness of Yakgwa is within the range of 1,981.41~3,756.45 g and the degree of hardness is shown differently for each rice powder exclusive cultivars.
