Abstract

Yukwa (one of most popular Korean traditional popped rice snacks) was made by four different varieties of rice, Shinsun (Japonica) and Hangang $(Japonica{\times}Indica)$ which are waxy rice and Dongjin (Japonica) and Samgang $(Japonica{\times}Indica)$ which are non waxy rice, for their quality by total expansion volume, hardness and brittleness. It was notified that hydration rate of waxy and non waxy rice for preparation of Yukwa were different by 30% and 42% in moisture content respectively soaked at $12^{\circ}C$ for 12 hours and the gelatinization temperature of their starch was $64.5-67.5^{\circ}C$ with no big difference by varieties. The quality of Yukwa was deeply related with amylose contents ranging from 18.5% of non waxy rice to 2-3% of waxy rice. Superior quality (p<0.05) was got from waxy rice. Lactic acid bacterial fermentation didn't improve the quality, and soybean and rice bran oil can be used for popping in even value.

멥쌀로 동진, 삼강을, 찹쌀로 신선, 한강품종을 선택하여 유과제조실험을 하였다. 사용한 멥쌀의 amylose 함량은 가각 18.5%, 찹쌀은 2-3% 수준이었으며 수침시 $(12^{\circ}C)$ 2시간 이내에 평형 수분함량에 도달하였고 멥쌀은 30%, 찹쌀은 42%의 수화도를 보였다. 쌀 전분의 호화 개시 온도는 $64.6-67.5^{\circ}C$로서 멥쌀과 찹쌀에서 큰 차이가 없었고 유과 반데기는 RH 75-84%에서 저장하면 튀김 적정 수분함량인 11-12% 수준에서 유지 가능하였다. 멥쌀과 찹쌀로 유과를 제조, 비교한 결과 멥쌀의 평화도는 2.5-2.9ml/g(건물), 찹쌀은 9.1-10.8ml/g(건물)로 멥쌀이 유의적으로 떨어지고 반대로 경도는 유의적으로 높아졌으며 바삭바삭한 정도는 차이를 보이지 많았다. 비정상 젖산 발효균에 의하여 팽화도, 경도 등은 개선되지 않았고 튀김 기름으로는 콩기름과 미강유간에 차이가 없었다.
