Studies were made to optimize the simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) of rice straw to produce butanol using Clostridium acetobutylicum KCTC 1037 and a cellulolytic enzyme preparation from Trichoderma viride. The fermentation was inhibited when the liquid enzyme preparation from Novo was used, whilst a successful fermentation was achieved in the SSF using the enzyme manufactured by Pacific Chemical Co. The minimum cellulase concentration for the successful fermentation of pure cellulose was found to be 4 IU/g of substrate used. Alkaline treatment was better method for the fermentation of rice straw by the system. SSF using 25％ alkaline treated rice straw produced 150 mM butanol, 90 mM acetone. On the other hand, fermentation of ball milled rice straw was mainly acidogenic producing 98 mM acetate and 64 mM butyrate with less than 20 mM butanol. These results show that rice straw contains (a) specific inhibitor(s) for solventogenesis which is destroyed or soluble in alkali.

Three new rice farming systems, i.e. (1) straw-mulched no-till rice cropping system(SMNTRCS), (2)straw-mulched no-till rice-vetch cropping system (SMNTRWCS), (3)conventional rice-barley cropping system(CRVCS) have been established and compared with (4)conventional rice cropping system(CRCS). Grain appearance of brown rice of Korean native rice cultivars in SMNTRCS and SMNTRVCS were better than those in CRBCS and CRCS. Grain appearance of milled rice in SMNTRCS was better than those of other cropping systems. Korean native rice cultivars showed more white belly and broken rice than those of recommended rice cultivars. Mg and K contents of Korean native rice cultivars were the highest in SMNTRVCS. Protein contents of all the cultivars tested were the highest in SMNTRCS. Protein contents of Korean native cultivars were higher than those of recommended cultivars. Amylose contents of the cultivars tested were from 16 to 22 percent, while those of Aedal and Jenmjo were significantly higher than those of the other cultivars. Alkali digestibility values(ADV) of milled rice grain, tested in $1.2\%$ potassium hydroxide for 23 h at $30^{\circ}C$, showed varietal differences and the cultivars grown in CRBCS were the highest and the lowest in CRCS.

This study investigated the quality of Jeungpyun based on variety, milling method and fermentation time. Rice flour (wet-milled Samkwang and dry-milled Seolgaeng) was used for these experiments. The expansion ratios of wet-milled Samkwang and dry-milled Seolgaeng after 6 h of fermentation showed similar values of 160.66 and 159.52%, respectively, while the specific volume was found to be 1.12 mL/g for both. Hardness values of 475.57 g in dry-milled Seolgaeng and 550.40 g in wet-milled Samkwang were determined to be the lowest values after 6 h of fermentation. Numerous pores were found in wet-milled Samkwang, whereas large-sized pores were found in dry-milled Seolgaeng. Thus, these results show no significant difference between the quality of Jeungpyun produced using dry-milled Seolgaeng or wet-milled Samkwang rice flours. However, dry- milled Seolgaeng without the wet-milled process is considered more suitable for Jeungpyun production.

The degree of milling is an important factor in terms of the nutritional value and the economic return of the milled rice. This study was to investigate the changes in compositions of the oils obtained from rice with different degree of milling. The content of total tocols in rice significantly (p＜0.05) decreased, as degree of milling increased. The relative ％ of -tocopherol in brown rice had lower than those in milled rices whereas the relative ％ of -tocotrienol, and -tocotrienol in brown rice higher than those in milled rices. -Oryzanol content significantly (P<0.05) decreased from 198.5 mg/kg rice for brown rice (0% milling) to 65.5 125.0 mg/kg rice for rice samples with 5.6, 8.0, and 9.6 ％ milling. -Sitosterol was most abundant sterol representing 50 ％ - 56% of the total sterol content in all analyzed samples. The content of total sterol as well as each sterol isomers in rice significantly (P<0.05) decreased, as degree of milling increased. A similar trend was observed in changes of octacosanol and squalene.

Two brown rice samples differing in amylose content, 20.1 (normal) and 7.3% (low amylose) were milled by different milling methods, and their physicochemical properties were tested. Particle size of brown rice flour prepared by dry milling using a pin mill (DM) was lower than that prepared by wet milling using a roll mill (WM). Particle size was further reduced by successive dry milling of the flour after wet milling and drying (WM/DM). Damaged starch contents in the wet milled brown rice flour were 14.6 and 15.6% for the normal and low amylose samples, respectively, whereas they were only 4.2 and 4.8% for the dry milled samples. WM/DM method resulted in a lower damaged starch (%) than DM, despite a reduced flour particle size. Water absorption index (WAI) of the brown rice flour was the lowest after WM/DM, and the water solubility index (WAI) was higher in the order of DM, WM/DM, and WM. Brown rice flour with normal amylose content appeared to have significantly higher pasting viscosities, as determined using a Rapid Visco Analyzer (RVA). Compared to dry milled brown rice flour, wet milled brown rice flour showed lower peak viscosity and higher final viscosity, resulting in increased setback value.

The changes in water uptake rate, cooking property, color of rice grain, gelatinization property of milled rice during storage were studied. The water uptake rate constant of milled rice during storage at $4{\sim}30^{\circ}C$ for 3 months decreased, which was more pronounced at elevated storage temperatures. The activation energy of water uptake was different below and above $25^{\circ}C$ of storage temperature. The activation energy after storage for 3 months below and above $25^{\circ}C$ was 608 and 1269 cal/mole, respectively. The rice grain became harder and the cooking time was prolonged by $3{\sim}8$ minutes upon storage. The cooking rate constant was linearly decreased as a function of storage time. The activation energy of cooking after 1 month of storage was 235 cal/mole, which was increased by 1.7 times after storage of 1.5 months and thereafter by 1.2 times with the increase of 0.5 month. There were no significant changes in color of milled rice grains during storage at $4^{\circ}C$, but the increase of b value was observed at higher temperatures. The Initial pasting temperature of rice flour remained essentially unchanged during storage, but the peak viscosity consistently increased with the increase of storage time and temperature. The gelatinization temperature of rice flour by differential scanning calorimetry was not changed but enthalpy of gelatinization was decreased during storage.

A rice mill pilot plant was designed and developed in the basis of the simulation results on the mill plants. The performance of the developed rice mill plant was evaluated, and the simulation model on the mill system was validated with the experimental data in the mill plant. The results of this study were as followings : 1. A rice mill pilot plant with the capacity of 0.5 t/h was designed and developed. 2. The hulled ratio of the mill plant was 87.3%, and the milled rice recovery and the head rice recovery of the cleaned rice were 74% and 87% , respectively. The degree of milling of the cleaned rice was 10.6% with a high polish. The intensity of the cleaned rice appeared high compared with that of the milled rice in the analysis of whiteness test using an image processing system. 3. The bottleneck, processing time, and production amount of the developed mill system almost coincided with those of the simulation of the rice mill plant. The developed simulation model of the rice mill plant was proven to be applicable to the design of a rice mill plant through experiments.

A rice mill plant with a capacity of 2.5 ton/hr was constructed with automated facilities at Chonnam National University. A simulation model was developed with SLAM SYSTEM for evaluating and improving the rice mill plant. The developed model was validated in the views of hulling efficiency, milling efficiency, milled rice recovery, other materials produced, and bottlenecks in the processes. The results of hulling efficiency, milling efficiency, milled rice recovery in the simulation were, respectively, 81.1%, 89.5%, and 73.1%, while those of the actual mill plant were 81.5%, 90.2%, and 73.5%. The simulation results including the productivity of other materials(chaff, bran, broken rice, stone, etc) produced in the processes were almost similar with those of the actual process. In the simulation the bottlenecks were found out in the processes of separating brown rice and of sorting colored rice. These phenomenon also appeared in the actual process. It needed to increase the hourly capacity of the brown rice separator and the rice color sorter. As the developed model could well express the automated rice mill plant, it could be used for designing and improving rice mill plants. In addition, an alternative model needed to be developed for the system control more accurately and for increasing the rice quality.

This study was conducted to investigate the relationships between yearly variations of meteorological elements and yearly variations of productivity in rice. In addition, correlation coefficients among yield and yield components were used to find out the relationships between meteorological elements and productivity. Yearly variation of the mean air temperature in May was large with coefficients of variation(C.V.) of 25.0%, but the variation of the duration of sunshine in May were relative small. No. of panicles per hill and 1,000 grains wt. of brown rice were great with C.V. of 21.1, 19.7%, respectively, brown rice yield show more or less C.V. of 5.5% and milled rice show still less variation. Correlation coefficients between temperatures in period of cultivation from May and yield were positive correlations. Correlation Coefficients between precipitation in period of cultivation from Sep. to Oct. and yield are positive correlations. Correlation coefficients amount the panicle length, no. of panicles, no. of spikelets, ratio of ripened grains, 1,000 grains wt. of brown rice, milled rice yield, brown rice yield and milled rice yield were positively significant at the level of 1 %, respectively.

The effect of different seedling ages and transplanting times on the growth and yield of Indica ${\times}$ Japonica rice for noodle processing was evaluated to develop a high yielding cultivation technology for increasing the competition against the imported foreign rice. Four seedling ages (10-, 20-, 30- and 33-day old) of two Indica ${\times}$ Japonica rice cultivars (cvs. Saemimyeon and Palbangmi) and three transplanting dates (May 20, May 30 and June 9) were used in the study. Our results showed that the growth and rice yield of the two cultivars were significantly affected by the different seedling ages and transplanting times. Dry matter production at the panicle heading of the two rice cultivars were generally higher in the 30-day old seedling than the other seedling age treatments and then gradually decreased as the transplanting time was delayed from May 20 to June 9. Similar high panicle number per square meter were recorded at the 30-day old seedling between May 20-May 30 transplanting times. In contrast, other yield parameters that includes spikelet number per panicle, 1,000-brown rice weight, and ripened grain ratio (except for the June 9 transplanting time of Palbangmi) were not significantly affected. The milled rice yield of Saemimyeon was higher than that of the Palbangmi regardless of seedling ages and it was also the highest at the 30-day old seedling with four seedling ages. The milled rice yield of Saemimyeon was only slightly decreased as the transplanting time was delayed from the May 20 to June 9 but Palbangmi had a significantly lower milled rice yield at June 9 transplanting due to the low ripened grain ratio. The result indicates that the most suitable seedling age for the cultivars tested was at 30-day old seedling for noodle processing rice and recommended transplanting times were between May 20 and May 30 for the high rice yield in the Yeongnam plain area.
