The effects of extrusion on solubilization of brown rice, glutinuous rice, barley and job's tear were analyzed by response surface methodology (RSM). Solubilization of whole grains by extrusion was characterized in terms of water solubility index (WSI), concentration of water soluble polysaccharides (C) and intrinsic viscosity $([\eta])$. Considering both concentration and intrinsic viscosity, a dimensionless target parameter $([\eta])$ was also included for analysing the extrusion effects on cereal extrusion. Response surface methodology analysis showed that the moisture content was the most significant contributor among screw speed, temperature and moisture content affecting the solubilizing phenomena of cereals processed with extrusion. Brown rice was not showed the significant relationship on $([\eta])$ because $([\eta])$ was more affected by intrinsic viscosity. The critical point of whole grains extrusion except brown rice was corresponded to screw speed of 300 rpm, moisture content of 20% and temperature of $120^{\circ}C$.

There are the farmer's needs to develop early-maturing cultivar adaptable to mid-northern inland plain and alpine area. Furthermore, it is required to develop a rice variety to produce new rice before concentrated marketing dates, even in the years of early Chuseok. 'Joun' is a new extremely early-maturing japonica rice cultivar developed in 2009 from the cross of SR14880-173-3-3-2-2-2/Unbong20 at Cheolwon Substation, National Institute of Crop Science (NICS), Rural Development Administration (RDA). The heading date of 'Joun' is July 23 in mid-northern alpine area, which is 7 days earlier than that of Odaebyeo. It has about 61 cm in culm length with semi-erect plant type. Panicle has a few awns and its exertion is good. The number of spikelets per panicle is smaller than that of Odaebyeo and 1,000 grain-weight of brown rice is 21.2 g which is less than 26.3 g of Odaebyeo, but the complete grain ratio is higher. Milled kernels are translucent with non-glutinous endosperm and palatability of cooked rice is good. It shows strong resistance to cold treatment, lodging, premature heading, wilting and viviparous germination during ripening stage. This cultivar shows resistance to leaf blast disease but susceptible to bacterial blight, virus disease and insect pests. The milled rice yield performance of 'Joun' is about 5.18 MT/ha by ordinary culture in local adaptability test for three years. This cultivar may be highly adaptable to the mid-northern inland plain and alpine area, north-eastern coastal area and middle plain area.

The Korea China FTA was signed on June 1 2015. It includes some concessions regarding major export items in the manufacturing sector for the protection of primary industries and preferential tariffs for a number of products produced in the Kaesong Industrial Complex. Primary industries are what the Korean government paid the greatest attention to. Rice was excluded from the negotiations from the get go, and was joined by 548 other food items including pork, apples, pears, beef, chili, garlic etc. These foodstuffs account for about one-third of the agricultural and livestock products that Korea produces, and are not going to be subject to tariff elimination. The results of the study are as follows: Korean government policy is to maintain of agri-food export support system, eliminate of agri-food non-tariff barriers, foster of agri-food export SMEs and expand of investment of foreign agri-food company. Korean firms strategy is to establish of regional marketing strategy, ensure of high quality agri-food and develop of food packaging technologies, establish of agri-food export logistics center and take advantage of the FTA preferential tariff.

The purpose of this study was to investigate consumer behavior and perception of Korean cheongju (rice-wine). An online survey, conducted from July 24, 2015 to July 31 2015, targeted 500 males and females adults in Seoul, Busan, Daejeon, Gwangju, Daegu, Incheon and Ulsan. Male respondents were more likely to drink more often than female respondents. Male respondents preferred 'beer', 'soju', and 'cheongju/yakju' in that order while female respondents preferred 'beer', 'cheongju/yakju', and 'soju' in that order. The reasons for drinking cheongju were 'taste' and 'flavor' for both males and females. The most important characteristic of Korean cheongju product included 'use of domestic ingredients', followed by 'tradition of brewing'. Both males and females responded that an important element of taste/flavor were 'simple/pure taste' when brewing Korean cheongju. In the survey of image recognition of Korean cheongju, 'tradition' and 'trust' were the most important. Therefore, it is necessary to develop various marketing strategies by understanding consumer preferences and perception of Korean cheongju.

In order to stabilize the price of fresh ginseng by extension of seasonal variation and marketing structure, and to reduce the cost of production by works of intensive and short term, studies were carried out. As fresh ginseng of 4 years old by the MA and CA was stored for 12 week at 4$^{\circ}C$, samples were collected after every 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12 weeks for processing red ginseng. Color and Sensual characteristics on ginseng steamed red for the quality evaluation are summarized as follows. For the time course of storage with red ginseng, which was processed from fresh one after various treatments, L and b values were decreased, however a value was increased. In particular, absorbance was step-wisely increased. Turbidity was somewhat increased, and non-treatment of preservative were shown 2 times higher of absorbance. Extraction ratio of ethanol-soluble extractives slightly increased by the preservation methods, and as storage period was passed. CA storage and preservative treat merit versus MA and non-preservative treatment gave much stability in ginseng quality. In the sensual characters, sour taste and sweet taste were increased, but fresh taste and rice scorched taste were decreased. Bitter taste was not much changed until end of storage. CA was shown smaller differences than MA in the pH change. Addition of preservative extended the storage time.

This research was accomplished to analyze the preference and the actual using patterns of the bakery products using functional ingredients by subjects' age. This survey was examined by the self-administered questionnaire method for 374 female subjects in Suwon. All respondents preferred breads than confectionaries with functional ingredients. As for the products of cooking ingredients, cookies, roll-cake, cake, chocolate, the preference of teenagers was higher than those of the other groups. Subjects preferred potatoes, fruits, rice and green tea as functional ingredients. Over thirties showed the high preference over beans, vegetables, mushrooms, ginseng and oriental herbs while fruits were highly preferred in teenagers and twenties. The ratio of using the bakery products with functional ingredients once or twice a week was higher in over thirties than those of the other groups. Subjects answered that they generally spent $3,000won\sim5,000won$ on those products. Functionality of products was considered as the more important factor in thirties than in the other groups. The lack of information about these products and functional ingredients was reported by teenagers and twenties. These results would be basic data for marketing or improvement of baking products with functional ingredients.
