The purpose of this study was to select a cake ingredient acting as an emulsifier to retard the retrogradation of rice cake commercially available. For the purpose, Backsulgi, a traditional Korean rice cake, was prepared by adding various ingredients having high contents of lecithin such as raw soybean powder, parched soybean powder, soybean oil, egg yolk powder, and then the changes in the sensory and textural characteristics of the cakes were determined while storing them at the temperatures of 4$^{C}$ and 20$^{C}$ for 0, 1, 2 and 3 days. Based on the sensory evaluation, Backsulgi samples added with raw soybean flour were significantly different in roasted nutty smell, roasted nutty taste, softness, moistness, cohesiveness and overall quality compared with the control in the longer storage time at 20$^{C}$.
