  • Rice seeds of 4 cultivars including Whachung-giant embryonic rice and Nampung-giant embryonic rice, as a group of the non-waxy rice cultivars, and Shinsunchal-giant embryonic rice and Whachungchal-giant embryonic rice, as that of the waxy rice cultivars, were germinated at $27^{\circ}C$ for 3 days to compare the changes in some physicochemical properties of the starch granules and the starch-hydrolysing enzyme activities during germination, respectively. ${\alpha}-Amylase$ activity of rices germinated for 3 days found to be higher than that of malt. Especially, Whachung-giant embryonic rice and Shinsunchal-giant embryonic rice were greater in activity than other rice cultivars and possessed the activities double that of malt. In contrast, ${\beta}-amylase$ of germinated rice found to be considerably less active than malt, although the giant embryonic rice group showed prevalent activity as compared o the normal rice group. With the starch granules, the amount of long glucose chains from amylose molecules were reduced in the non-waxy type giant embryonic rices, while the chain length increase was found in the waxy type giant embryonic rices. For the distribution profile of the glucose chain length from amylopectin molecules, we could observed that the chain length with DP (degree of polymerization) ranged 33 to 66 and 14 to 32 increased with the decreasing rate of that above 67 and below 13 regardless of starch waxiness. With non-waxy type of giant embryonic rices, susceptibility for glucoamylase were found to reduce along with germination, however, increase in susceptibility was observed with waxy rice types. In addition, we found the reduction in both initiation and termination temperature, and enthalpy for gelatinization.

  • Changes in physiological functionality of giant embryonic rice by germination process were investigated using 70% ethanolic extract of the rices. Physiological functionality was evaluated by determining the reducing power, phenolic compound content, GABA content, and antimutagenicity. The results showed that the order of reducing power of the non-germinated rices was Nampung giant embryonic rice>normal rice> Whachung giant embryonic rice, however, the activity was high as the order of Whachung giant embryonic rice> Nampung giant embryonic rice> normal rice by germination process. About 3-fold activity increase was observed for Whachung giant embryonic rice, while, the activity of Nampung giant embryonic rice and normal rice decreased by the same treatment. The phenolic compound content of three rice cultivars were found to be almost same levels. Germination of rice increased the content of phenolic compounds by 2.6-fo1d without any considerable changes for both Nampung giant embryonic rice and normal rice. The GABA contents was highest in Whachung giant embryonic rice, followed by Nampung giant embryonic rice, normal rice in either germination or non-germination condition. The germination increased the GABA contents by more than 2.4-fold for all rice cultivars tested. We also found an increase in the antimutagenic activity by germination process for all cultivars, where the activity was the greatest for Whachung cultivar.

  • The quality characteristics for brown rice flake were examined using eight kinds of brown rice cultivars such as Shinsunchalbyeo, Shinsunchal giant embryonic rice, Whachungchalbyeo, Whachungchal giant embryonic rice, Whachungbyeo, Whachung giant embryonic rice, Nampungbyeo, and Nampung giant embryonic rice. The qualities of grain such as the released reducing sugar, water absorption rate and hardness of grain are examined with different temperature and time at sedimentation in water and pressed grain-brown rice flake are prepared after sedimentation in $60^{\circ}C$ water for 5 hours. The brown rice flakes prepared from the giant embryonic type rice cultivars showed higher expansion volume, lower hardness, more crispness, longer bowl life time and better taste than that prepare from normal type rice cultivars, which showed the giant embryonic type rice cultivars were appropriate for brown rice flakes. Among the giant embryonic type rice cultivars, the glutinous rice varieties were better to prepared the brown rice flakes than its normal rice cultivars. The water absorption index of flakes tested were positively correlated with expansion volume and bowl life hardness. From tested sensory evaluation were shown to be negatively correlated with water absorption index. Among the tested cultivars, Shinsunchal giant embryonic and Wachungchal giant embryonic rice were most appropriate for brown rice flakes preparation.

  • Cultivars of bell and other types of pepper introduced from United States of America and from Japan were planted in the Kyungpook National University experiment farm to investigate their characteristics. Such introductions from Japan as 'Oojishi', 'Saitama Wase', 'Beianeiko', and 'Ichiba' were leading in fresh fruit yield, followed by such introductions from America as 'Keystone Resistant Giant # 3' and 'Emerald Giant'. The introductions from Japan were high yielding and with good fruit set but their fruits were smaller than those of introductions from America. Cultivars introduced from America were inferior to those from Japan in yield and vigor but produced large fruits. Fruits of 'Keystone Resistant Giant #3', 'Yolo Wonder' selections, 'Emerald Giant', and 'Mercury' were the largest. among them Other cultivars such as 'Cubanelle', 'Sweet Banana', 'Anaheim' selections, and 'Cherry Sweet' were also included in the experiment, their characteristics were investigated and their usage was discussed.

  • BACKGROUND: This study was carried out to assess a biochemical methane potential of giant miscanthus (Miscanthus sacchariflorus) which was a promising candidate energy crop due to a high biomass productivity, in order to utilize as a feedstock for the biogas production. METHODSANDRESULTS: Giant miscanthus was sampled the elapsing drying time of 6 months after harvesting. TS (Total Solid) and VS (Volatile Solid) contents were 94.7 and 90.8%. And CP (Crude Protein), EE (Ether Extracts), and CF (Crude Fiber) contents of giant miscanthus were 1.4, 0.46, and 46.12%, respectively. In the organic composition of giant miscanthus, the NDF (Neutral Detergent Fiber) representing cellulose, lignin, and hemicellulose contents showed 86.88%, and the ADF (Acid Detergent Fiber) representing cellulose and lignin contents was 62.91%. Elemental composition of giant miscanthus showed 47.75%, 6.44%, 41.00%, and 0.28% for C, H, O, and N, respectively, and then, theoretical methane potential was obtained to $0.502Nm^3kg^{-1}-VS_{added}$. Biochemical methane potential was assessed as the range of $0.154{\sim}0.241Nm^3kg^{-1}-VS_{added}$ resulting the lower organic biodegradability of 30.7~48.0%. CONCLUSION: Therefore the development of pretreatment technology of the giant miscanthus was needed for the improvement of anaerobic digestability.

  • In this case, non-rheumatic GLA was observed and it was intended to report a case of ultrasound examination. The case patient, a 60-year-old male, visited the emergency room for dyspnea and palpitations. For radiology examination, chest X-ray examination and CT examination were performed, and a giant left atrium was confirmed. Echocardiography was performed to find the cause of the giant left atrium. Echocardiography The size and volume of the left atrium were evaluated by Simpson's method, and the giant left atrium with LVEDVI 6 times larger than that of the general giant left atrium could be evaluated. Also, a giant left atrium in a patient without rheumatic heart disease is evaluated as a very rare case. Since non-rheumatic giant left atrium could be caused by functional mitral regurgitation, diastolic dysfunction. It was confirmed that ultrasonography, which allowed both morphological and hemodynamic examinations, could be a useful case.
