This study was conducted to investigate the possibility of using brown rice as a raw material for preparation of sikhe. The ${\alpha}-amylase$ activity of germinated brown rice was much lower than that of germinated barley; however, the extract and its sugar content of extract prepared from germinated brown rice was similar to those of germinated barley. The extract of sikhe prepared with brown rice at $60^{\circ}C$ for 4 hr was similar to that of milled rice for 1 hr. Sikhe prepared with brown rice did not differ from sikhe prepared from milled rice in sweetness, pH and acidity. Sensory evaluation of sikhe prepared with brown rice showed increase in aroma and decrease in texture compared with sikhe prepared with milled rice.

The objectives of this study were to analyze amino acid composition of brown and milled rice of five varieties (Kwngan, Daean, Daejin, Sura, Hwaseong) and to evaluate their protein quality by several chemical scores. The protein contents of brown rice ranged from 6.7 to 8.0% and those of milled rice ranged from 6.1 to 7.5%. Daejin showed the highest protein contents in brown and milled rice among five rice varieties. Glx (glutamate + glutamine), Asx (asparagine + aspartic acid), arginine, leucine and valine were dominant amino acids in brown and milled rices and the most limiting amino acid was lysine. Ratios of essential amino acids to total amino acids were 36.8∼38.3% in brown rice and 35.8∼37.7% in milled rice. Protein scores were 76.4 to 79.6 in brown rices and 66.9 to 77.9 in milled rices, respectively. Chemical scores ranged from 60.7 to 63.2 in brown rices and from 55.5 to 62.4 in milled rices, respectively. The first limiting amino acid was lysine, the second threonine, and the third isoleucine in chemical scores.

The goal of this research was to an optimum conditions for the brown rice conditioning from data of milling characteristics after conditioning of the brown rice. The range of the initial moisture content of the sample was 13%, 14%, and 15%, the range of the increment of the moisture content was 0.4% and 0.8% with respect to the initial moisture content, and a ripe time after conditioning was eight hours. The results obtained from this research can be summarized as fellows. 1 The crack ratio after conditioning the brown rice with the initial moisture content was increased as the initial moisture content decreased and increment of the moisture content increased. The crack ratio of the milled rice was increased than that of the non-conditioned brown rice and decreased with the conditioned brown rice with the increment of the moisture content of 0.4% and 0.5%. 2. The broken rice ratio after conditioning the brown rice with the initial moisture content was a little higher than that of the non-conditioned brawn rice. The broken ratio of the conditioned brown rice with the increment of the moisture content of 0.4% was increased around 0.2∼0.4% with respect to the non-conditioned brown riced and the broken ratio of the brown rice was high with increased amount of water sprayed during conditioning process. 3. The moisture content of the milled rice after conditioning the brown rice with the initial moisture content increased around 0.3∼0.8% with respect to the non-conditioned milled rice. 4. The electric energy consumption on milling process with the conditioned brown rice by the initial moisture content was decreased 3.4∼39.1% with respect to the non-conditioned brown rice.

The effects of several carbohydrate sources on plasma, liver and fecal lipid contents of rats fed diet containing sucrose, corn starch, brown rice, milled rice or wheat flour with 0.3% cholesterol for four weeks were investigated. Plasma triglyceride and total cholestrol increased significntly in sucrose group, and decreased significantly in milled rice group compared to other three groups. There were no significant differences in plasma lipid contents among corn starch, brown rice and wheat flour groups. The contents of liver triglyceride and cholesterol in brown rice group decreased significantly compared to there four groups. Fecal excretion of total cholesterol in rice and wheat flour groups was significantly higher than in sucrose and corn starch groups. The contents of fecal bile acid increased significantly in milled rice and brown rice groups compared to other three groups. Fecal bile acid content of wheat flour group was similar to those of sucrose and corn starch group. From these results, it is suggested that rice has a possibility of hypolipidemic effect in cholesterol fed rat.

This study was designed to evaluate impact of kinds of dietary grain and dietary lipid level on the glucose metabolism and antithrombogenic capacity in obesity induced rats. Total of 80 Sprague-Dawley male rats were raised for one month with control diet containing $50\%$ (w/w) well-milled rice powder and $20\%$(w/w) of dietary lipids. The rats were blocked into 8 groups and raised for two months with diets containing well-milled rice, brown rice, black rice, or glutinous barley powder and 8 or $20\%$(w/w) of dietary lipids. The contents of total dietary fiber in experimental grains were in following order; glutinous barley > black rice > brown rice > well-milled rice. Weekly food intake were lower in glutinous barley group among all experimental groups. Body weight gain was high in high level of fat groups ($50\%$w/w) than medium level of fat groups ($8\%$ w/w). Plasma glucose concentration was not different significantly in each groups. But brown rice group was a little lower than others. Plasma insulin concentration was lower in black rice and glutinous barley group than rice group. Plasma glucagon concentration did not differ significantly among all experimental groups. Hexokinase activities in skeletal muscle are different significantly according to level of dietary fat and grain variety factors. Brown rice group was significantly highest among all experimental groups in hexokinase activity. Plasma $TXB_2$ concentrations in black rice and glutinous barley groups were lower as compared to rice and brown rice groups. Plasma 6-keto-$PGF_{1\alpha}$ concentrations in glutinous barley group was higher as compared to others. In conclusion brown rice has a little lowering effect glucose concentration. Black rice and glutinous barley intakes enhance antithromboenic capacity. It is suggested that the intakes of mixed gains are recommend.

This study was carried out to develop a miller to produce white embryo rice with functional nutrients by improving the conventional vertical miller. The effects of rice moisture content and the shaft revolution speed of the miller on germ(embryo) adherence rate, whiteness, broken rice rate, and cracked rice rate were investigated. Also, the effect of the mesh size of emery stones on the germ adherence rate was investigated. The vertical prototype miller was improved with the increasement of about 42% in producing white embryo rice at proper conditions(shaft revolution speed of 900 rpm, emery stones of mesh ＃50, processing capacity of 2.3t/h, zero outlet resistance, rice moisture content of 16.2%). The results were as follows: 1. The germ adherence rate of white rice was significantly influenced by the moisture content of brown rice. The germ adherence rate of white rice decreased rapidly with the increase of the moisture content of brown rice. When brown rice with moisture content of 13.2%, 14.5%, 15.2%, 15.4% was milled by the prototype with emery stones of mesh ＃35 and shaft speed of 900(1,100) rpm, rpm adherence rate of milled rice was 76.2%(70%), 69.2%(66%), 45.9(38%), 13.0(9%), respectively. 2. The whiteness of white rice milled by the prototype with emery stones of mesh ＃35 and shaft speed of 1,100(900)rpm increased from 27(23) to about 40, respectively, as the moisture content of brown rice increased from 13.2% to 17.2%. 3. The rate of broken rice of white rice milled at 900rpm decreased by 0.6∼1.0% compared with that at 1,100rpm when the moisture content of brown rice was less than 15.2%. 4. The germ adherence rate was increased by 10.3% and 11.0%, respectively when brown rice with moisture content of 16.2% and 15.5% was milled by the prototype miller with shaft speed of 900rpm and emery stones of mesh ＃50 instead of mesh ＃35. 5. Considering the germ adherence rate, broken rice rate, and whiteness of milled rice, the proper milling conditions of the prototype miller for producing embryo rice were the moisture content of about 15%, the processing capacity of 2.3t/h and minimum outlet resistance of 0Nㆍm with shaft speed of 900rpm and emery stones of mesh ＃50.

The lipid contents and neutral lipid components of brown rice, milled rice and bran were studied for four varieties of rice such as Nampung, Milyang #23, Whasung and Jinhung. Total lipid contents of brown rice, milled rice and bran were 2.65%, 1.09% and 20.24% respectively. The ratios of neutral lipids, glycolipids and phospholipids in total lipids were 82.53:12.39:4.08 in brown rice and 87.72:7.02:5.26 in bran. Neutral lipids were separated on the TLC; among them 6 neutral lipids were identified by comparing the RF value of standards. Triglycerides(TG), free fatty acids(FFA) and steryl esters(SE) were major neutral lipid components in brown rice, milled rice and bran. TG content of the bran, compared to that of brown rice and milled rice, was very low in contrast the FFA content was high. The major fatty acids of total lipid and neutral lipid fractions were palmitic, linoleic and oleic acids, comprising over 95% of these classes.

This study was carried out to investigate the changes of brown rice, and cooking properties after milling of brown rice according to storage temperature and varieties. Brown rices were stored at $15^{\circ}C$ and $35^{\circ}C$ for 10 weeks. Tz values of brown rice stored at $35^{\circ}C$ were higher in Hwaseongbyeo, Koshihikari, Hitomebore, than the other varieties. The increasing rate of hardness of cooked rice in Odaebyeo, Junghwabyeo, Sangmibyeo stored at $35^{\circ}C$ were lower than those of other varieties. In stored brown rice at $15^{\circ}C$ and $35^{\circ}C$, correlations between pH of brown rice and fat acidity, hardness, b value of cooked milled rice and head rice rate of milled rice were significant $0.743^{**}$, $0.539^*$, $-0.693^{**}$, 0.250, respectively. At $15^{\circ}C$ and $35^{\circ}C$, correlations between L value and b value of cooked milled rice, head rice rate of milled rice were significant $-0.772^{**}$, $0.638^*$, and those between fat acidity of brown rice and consistency of milled rice were $0.604^*$. In brown rice stored at $15^{\circ}C$, It was higher quality of milled rice and cooked rice than those at $35^{\circ}C$ that increased head rice rates of milled rice and glossy value of cooked milled rice but lower color b value and hardness of cooked rice.

Storage in the form of brown or milled rice saves space and cut cost rather than storage of rough rice, the common way of grain storage in Korea. But, brown or milled rice may be more susceptable to grain aging and sensory change than rough rice. Rice stored in government warehouse for 20 months after harvest was hulled into brown or milled rice and packaged with kraft paper bag (paper package), polyprophylen (PP package), and polyethylene (PE package). Then, after those rice packages were stored under room condition for one year, we investigated germinability, fat acidity, and sensory change to determine milling and packaging effects. Germinability of rough and brown rice was decreased significantly after long-term storge. In germination rate, Chucheong cultivar was lower than Milyang #23, brown rice was lower than rough rice, but there was no differences within packaging materials. TTC test which had a significant correlation with germinability can be used as a handy procedure for predicting grain germination. Fat acidity was increased as the order of rough < milled < brown rice in terms of milling, and PP < paper < PE package in terms of packaging materials. Especially, storage of brown rice increased fat acidity above 30 mg KOH, indicating one of characteristics of grain aging. To prevent from high fat acidity it was necessary to store in forms of rough grain with paper or PP packaging and milled rice with paper, or PP, or PE packaging. In sensory test of stored grain, eating quality in brown rice was the worst because of acidification of fatty acid. Also, eating quality of stored grain became worse as fat acidity increased.
