Effects of rice type (unhulledy, brown, and polished rice), varieties, moisture content, and shape (length and diameter), on rice of puffability by hot air were investigated. The puffability of unhulled rice was the highest among them. In addition, relative crystallinities of puffed paddy by hot air puffer ($55{\pm}5\;sec.$, at $210{\pm}5^{\circ}C$) were lower than those of brown and polished rice. The puffability of Wongbongolchalbyeo, glutinous rice, and Jinjubyeo, non-glutinous rice, was good, respectively. Optimum moisture content of unhulled rice for maximum puffed volume was in the range of $10{\sim}12%$ (w/w).

The quantitative sensory profiles of rice wines made with nuruks using eight different cereal ingredients were developed using sensory descriptive analysis. Two appearances, eight aromas, eight flavors and tastes, and two mouthfeel related sensory attributes were evaluated by a panel of 10 judges. The sample made of black rice nuruk had the highest intensity in red color, while the other samples had similar ranges in yellow color. The mean sensory intensities of the samples prepared with black rice and glutinous rice nuruks were high in 'sweet', 'fruit taste', 'pungent', and 'sour', while those samples prepared using non-glutinous rice, buckwheat, hull-less barley, unpolished rice nuruks had overall high intensities in 'grain', 'fermented aroma', 'bitter', and 'astringent' attributes. Based on the principal component analysis of the descriptive data, samples were primarily separated along the first principal component, which accounted for 53% of the total variance between the rice wines with high intensities of 'red color', 'sweet', and 'fruit taste' versus 'bitter', 'astringent', and 'yellow color'.

Five mutants were investigated at the molecular level to determine the factors responsible for mutated endosperm types. They were classified as high (HA) or low amylose (LA) phenotypes based on the amylose content in endosperm. The five were previously produced from Ilpum and Shindongjin cultivar treated with N-methyl-N-nitrosourea and gamma-ray irradiation, respectively. Analysis of the genomic structure and expression of Granule-bounded Starch Synthase I (GBSSI) genes revealed that mutants generally showed a higher incidence of nucleotide transition than transversion, and the $A:T{\rightarrow}G:C$ transition was particularly prevalent. The rates of nucleotide substitution in HA mutants were generally higher than those in the LA mutants, leading to higher substitutions of amino acid in the HA mutants. Neither nucleotide substitutions interfering with intron splicing or causing early termination of protein translation were found, nor any large-sized deletions or additions were found in all the mutants. In principle, amylose content can be regulated by three factors: internal alterations of GBSSI protein, the strength of gene expression, and other unknown external factors. Our results indicate that the endosperm mutants from Shindongjin arose from internal alterations of GBSSI proteins, which may be the result of amino acid substitutions. On the other hand, the Ilpum mutants might be principally caused by the alteration of gene expression level. Analysis of another three glutinous cultivars revealed that the major factor leading to glutinous phenotypes is the 23-bp duplicative motif (5'-ACGGGTTCCAGGGCCTCAAGCCC-3') commonly found in exon 2, which results in the premature termination of protein translation leading to the production of a non-functional GBSSI enzyme.

Beta-carotene is the most prominent member of the group of carotenoids, natural colorants that occur in the human diet. Beta-carotene is also an effective source of vitamin A in both conventional foods and vitamin supplements, and it's generally safe. In this study, we explored the beta-carotene contents in agricultural products widely and specifically grown in Korea. The beta-carotene contents were ranging from 223 to $27,908{\mu}g/100g$ in leaves, and 0 to $7,588{\mu}g/100g$ in vegetables. In leaves and vegetables, the amount of beta-carotene was the highest in green tea powder ($27,908{\mu}g/100g$), followed by pepper ($7,588{\mu}g/100g$). In fruits, the beta-carotene content was found to range from $0{\mu}g/1,011g$ to maximum of $293.66{\mu}g/100g$(plumcot). However, there beta-carotene was not detected in strawberry. In the case of cereals and specialty crops, the beta-carotene contents were $326{\mu}g/100g$ for non-glutinous rice, $313{\mu}g/100g$ for glutinous rice, $57{\mu}g/100g$ for amaranth and $15{\mu}g/100g$ for pine nut, respectively. However, the beta-carotene content was not detected in other samples. This study revealed the presence of beta-carotene content in agricultural products specifically grown in Korea for nutritional information and food composition database.

This study optimized the vegetable rice porridge preparation process with Israeli carp Cyprinus carpio (VRP-IC). The optimum heating period for Israeli carp paste (IC-P) in a retort was 120 min as per yield results. Response surface methodology was performed with IC-P/[rice (glutinous rice: non-glutinous rice=6:4) (Rice, RI)+vegetable (carrot: zucchini=1:1) (vegetable, VE)] (X₁) and RI/VE (X₂) as independent variables; viscosity (Y₁), hardness (Y₂), amino nitrogen (Y₃), and overall sensory acceptance (Y₄) as dependent variables. Optimum rates of IC-P, RI, and VE were 47.37%, 24.49%, and 28.15%, respectively; predicted multiple response optimum values for the dependent variables were 20,150 mPa·s, 2,002.9 N/m2, 193.1 mg/100 g, and a 6.4 score for Y₁, Y₂, Y₃, and Y₄, respectively. Under optimum conditions, experimental values for Y₁, Y₂, Y₃, and Y₄ were 20,359.8±191.9 mPa·s, 2,015.0±9.6 N/m2, 188.1±4.9 mg/100 g, and a 6.5±0.2 score, respectively, which were not significantly different from the predicted values (P < 0.05). Results of F0 value, viscosity, hardness, volatile odor intensity, and browning suggested that the optimum sterilization period was 25 min. VRP-IC prepared under the optimum conditions was superior to commercial vegetable rice porridges in sensory evaluations.

The effect of 16 cultivars on the quality of the rice porridge was investigated. The 'Geunnun' had the highest water absorption rate, but the 'Segyejinmi' yield (w/w) was the highest. The total sugar content of the rice porridge was 0.29~8.10%, showing significant variation among the cultivars. High amylose 'Dodamssal' and 'Hwaseonchalbyeo' glutinous rice displayed rotational viscosities of <20,000 cP. Rotational viscosities for boiled rice cultivars were 30,000~40,000 cP, representing an intermediate level, and the rotational viscosities of 'Geonyang2' and 'Hanareum4' were over 50,000 cP. These results suggest that the viscosity of rice porridge varies significantly among raw material cultivars. Among other variables affecting the texture profile of rice porridge, there were significant differences in hardness and gumminess among the cultivars. As a raw material, 'Baekokchal', a kind of glutinous rice, is known to be whiter than the non-glutinous rice, but after processing to porridge, it showed the lowest L value (71.1). Starch degrading enzyme activity was not significant in most types of rice porridges within 30 or 60 minutes. Therefore, enzymatic starch degradation is thought to be completed within 30 minutes. Among the tested raw materials, 'Miho' was 73.5 ㎍/mg, indicating the best digestibility in vitro.

This study examined the quality characteristics of Jeung-pyeon made with wet non-glutinous rice flour and rice wine. The samples of Jeung-pyeon were prepared with different ratios of cooked purple sweet potato (0, 3, 6, 9, and 12%) to analyze the water content, sugar content, pH, chromaticity, texture characteristics, and sensory evaluation. No significant difference in water content, sugar content, and springiness was observed among the 5 samples. The pH and volume showed the highest level at 0%. The L-value and b-value decreased while the a-value increased. The hardness, chewiness, and gumminess were highest at 9% and lowest at 12%. The extent of violet chromaticity and pore size were optimal in 9%. In addition, 9%-added purple sweet potato showed the highest score of odor, taste, texture, and overall acceptability. In conclusion, the optimal addition for the highest acceptability of cooked purple sweet potato was 9%.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the characteristics and brewing methods of Danyangju, which is one of the traditional single brewed rice liquors using Korean ancient literatures publishes from the 1400's to 1600's. Total 32 Danyangju products and 55 brewing methods were found by reviewing the ancient literatures. Danyangju products could be classified into four groups depending on type of grain used: 1) 13 Danyangju products with non-glutinous rice, 2) 14 products with waxy rice, 3) 4 products with mixture of waxy and nonwaxy rice, and 4) 2 products with barley. In this paper, not only ingredients, formula and utensils needed for preparation of Danyangju, but also brewing characteristics and terminology were reviewed. The findings on Danyangju in this study would be useful to improve the brewing methods and quality of Korean traditional liquors.

Developing rice lines with various amylose contents is necessary to diverse usages of rice in terms of raw materials for processed food production, and thereby to promote rice consumption in Korea. A rice mutant line, 'Namil(SA)-dull1' was established through sodium azide mutagenesis on 'Namil', a non-glutinous Korean Japonica rice cultivar. Namil(SA)-dull1' had dull endosperm characteristics and the evaluated amylose content was 12.2%. A total of 94 F2 progenies from a cross between 'Namil(SA)-dull1' and 'Milyang23', a non-glutinous Tongil-type rice cultivar, was used for genetic studies on the endosperm amylose content. Association analyses, between marker genotypes of 53 SSR anchor markers and evaluated amylose contents of each 94 F2:3 seeds, initially localized rice chromosome 6 as the harboring place for the modified allele(s) directing low amylose content of 'Namil(SA)-dull1'. By increasing SSR marker density on the putative chromosomal region followed by association analyses, the target region was narrowed down 0.94 Mbp segment, expanding from 28.95 Mbp to 29.89 Mbp, on rice chromosome 6 pseudomolecule. Among the SSR loci, RM7555 explained 84.2% of total variation of amylose contents in the $F_2$ population. Further physical mapping on the target region directing low amylose content of 'Namil(SA)-dull1' would increase the breeding efficiency in developing promising rice cultivars with various endosperm characteristics.

A statistical analysis of 4,380 non-glutinous landrace rice germplasm collected from four East Asian countries namely South Korea (1,032), North Korea (994), Japan (800), and China (528) was conducted using normal distribution, variability index value (VIV), analysis of variation (ANOVA), and Duncan's multiple range test (DMRT) based on a data obtained from Near-Infrared Reflectance Spectroscopy (NIRS) analysis. In normal distribution, the average protein content was 8.2%, and the non-glutinous rice amylose, ranging over 10%, was found to be 22.0%. Protein content in most gremplasm was between 5.4 and 10.9%, and amylose content was between 15.0 and 28.9%. The VIV was 0.50 for protein, and 0.81 for non-glutinous rice amylose content. The average amylose content was 23.34% in Chinese, 21.55% in South Korean, 21.45% in Japanese, and 20.48% in North Korean resources, while the average protein content was found to be 9.02% in Chinese, 8.06% in Japanese, 8.04% in North Korean, and 7.99% in South Korean resources. ANOVA of amylose and protein content showed significant differences at p=0.01. The F-test value for amylose content was 94.92, and for protein content was 81.82 compared to the critical value of 3.79. DMRT of amylose and protein content revealed significant differences (p<0.01). Among the various germplasm obtained from different countries, that from North Korean had the lowest level of amylose content, whereas that from South Korea had the lowest level of protein content than all other resources. Chinese resources had the highest level of amylose and protein content. It is recommended to use these results in breeding fields.
