The effects of four different oligosaccharides with 2, 4, 6% (w/w) (fructo-oligosaccharide, xylo-oligosaccharide, chito-oligosaccharide and soybean-oligosaccharide) on gelatinization and retrogradation of sulgidduks (Korean rice cake) were examined. The amylograph results of rice flour showed that chito-oligosaccharide hastened gelatinization, and delayed retrogradation. Blue value results of chito-oligosaccharide added sulgidduks showed retarded retrogradation during storage (1, 2 and 3 days). Chitooligosaccharide and xylo-oligosaccharide added sulgidduks showed significantly lower hardness during storage. Lightness (L) decreased and redness (a) and yellowness (b) increased with increasing oligosaccharide amounts. In the sensory evaluation of sulgidduks, color of fructo-oligosaccharide added sulgidduks obtained the highest score among oligosaccharide added sulgidduks. During storage, xylo-oligosaccharide and fructo-oligosaccharide added sulgidduks had higher flavor, taste, graininess and overall quality scores than the control. Physicochemical tests showed that chito-oligosaccharide retarded retrogradation, whereas chitooligosaccharide-added sulgidduks had low scores in sensory tests due to aftertaste of chito-oligosaccharide. To improve the sensory quality of chito-oligosaccharide added sulgidduks, mixtures of chito-oligosaccharide with xylo-oligosaccharide and fructooligosaccharide were applied at ratios of 3%:3%, 2%:4% and 1%:5%, respectively. The addition of chito-oligosaccharide and xylo-oligosaccharide at ratios of 2%:4% and 1%:5% to sulgidduks showed relatively high scores in the sensory evaluation retarding retrogradation.
