Abstract
This study was carried out to observe the quality of commercial brand rices collected from Gyeongbuk Province, Korea in 2006-2007. Rice quality was analyzed as a mixed ratio with other varieties by DNA analysis, physicochemical and appearance characteristics among 26 commercial brand rices. In protein contents of rice grain, 12 brand rices were lower than 6.5%, 6 brand rices were ranged 6.6-7.0%, and others were higher than 7%. In head rice rates, 2 brand rices were higher than 95%, 4 brand rices were ranged 90-94%, and other brand rices were lower than 90%. In distribution of the mixed ratio with other varieties, 12 commercial brand rices were ranged 1- 10%, 9 commercial brand rices were ranged 11-20%, and 5 brand rices were lower than 20% of mixed ratio.
경북지역에서 생산 유통되는 브랜드 쌀의 품질 분석을 통해 고품질 쌀 생산의 기초 자료로 활용하고자 하였으며, 분석시료로는 경북 시군에서 추천한 2006-2007년도 브랜드 쌀 26종을 사용하였다. 단백질 함량은 6.5%이하가 46.2% (12종), 6.6%-7.0%는 23.1%(6종)로 비교적 낮아 단백질 함량은 양호하였다. 완전립율은 95% 이상이 7.7%(2종), 90-94%는 15.4%(4종)이었으며 89% 이하가 76.9%(20종)로 품질이 다소 낮았으며 분상질립은 다소 높아 완전립율과 분상 질립 개선이 필요하다. DNA 분석에 의한 품종 혼입율 분포는 1-10%가 46.2%(12종), 11-20%는 34.6%(9종)로서 순도 80% 이상이 80.8%로서 매우 양호하였다.
