This study was to investigate the combined effect of enzyme and trehalose addition on the retrogradation rate and quality changes in a Korean traditional rice cake, Backsulgi. As for the enzyme, a commercial maltogenic amylase, Novamyl, was used. From texture profile analysis and sensory tests, the optimum enzyme content for the preparation of Backsulgi was determined to be 0.1%. Backsulgi was prepared with the fixed content of Novamyl (0.1%) and different ratios (5, 10, 15%) of trehalose, and physicochemical and sensory properties were examined for 3 days of storage at 25℃. As trehalose content increased, the water activity of Backsulgi decreased. In Hunter's color value, L- and a-values of trehalose-added samples were significantly lower than those of control. In texture profile analysis, hardness of Backsulgi decreased with trehalose content. During storage, a increase in hardness and a decrease in cohesiveness were typically observed for all samples. However, those changes were significantly reduced with trehalose content. The retardation of retrogradation with the enzyme and trehalose addition was confirmed using calculated Avrami rate and time constants. These results revealed that combined treatments of 0.1% Novamyl and 10% trehalose could produce Backsulgi of better sensory quality with retarded retrogradation compared to separated treatment.
