세 가지 다른 건조공정을 이용하여 만든 건조즉석쌀밥을 복원시킨 후 대조구와 물리적 성질을 비교한 결과 복원율은 9$0^{\circ}C$의 열풍온도에서 건조시킨 process A가 동결건조(process C)에 비하여 전반적으로 높은 복원율을 나타내었으며, process A와 Process C 모두 4분이내에 대조구 (151.47%, dry basis)와 같은 수준의 수분함량으로 복원되었다. 95$^{\circ}C$에서 6분간 복원시킨 즉석 밥의 크기는 건조방법에 관계없이 대조구보다 컸으며, 조직감에서는 고온열풍건조(15$0^{\circ}C$)를 거친 process B방법으로 건조시킨 후 6분간 복원한 즉석밥이 대조구의 경도, 끈기, 끈기 대 경도의 비 값과 유사하게 나타났다. 건조방법에 관계없이 복원시간이 길어짐에 따라서 경도는 줄어들었고 끈기와 끈기 대 경도의 비는 커졌다 표면색깔에서는 6분간 복원시킨 즉석 밥은 대조구에 비하여 높은 L값과 낮은 b값을 나타내었으며, 열풍건조방법과 동결건조방법이 거의 비슷한 L값과 b값을 나타내었다.
The physical properties of reconstituted instant rice produced by three different dehydration methods were evaluated. The rehydration ratios of reconstituted instant rice produced by air dehydration at 9$0^{\circ}C$ (process A) had higher values than those produced by freeze dehydration (process C) during entire range of rehydration. After 4min of rehydration time at 95$^{\circ}C$ , the moisture contents of reconstituted instant rice produced by process A and C were higher values than those of control(151.47%, dry basis) which was cooked by electric cooker. Regardless of dehydration method, the sizes of reconstituted instant rice (6min, 95$^{\circ}C$) had larger values than those of control. The values of hardness (H), stickiness (S) and S/H ratio of reconstituted instant rice (6min, 95$^{\circ}C$) produced by high temperature (7min, 15$0^{\circ}C$) air dehydration (process B) as the first stage prior to air dehydration at 9$0^{\circ}C$ were almost the same as those of control. The H of reconstituted instant rice decreased, while S and S/H ratio increased with increasing rehydration time. The higher values of whiteness(L) and lower values of yellowness (b) represented in reconstituted instant rice (6min, 95$^{\circ}C$) than those of control.
