This study was carried out to investigate the effects of the addition ratio of BARODON^® on the dough volume, moisture content, loaf volume and weight and the sensory characteristics of sprouted brown rice bread. The loaf volume and sensory characteristics of the bread with BARODON^® were higher than those without. The moisture content and loaf weight of the bread with BARODON^® were lower than those without. Although these results were irregular with increasing amounts of BARODON addition. The sprouted brown rice bread with 0.6% BARODON^® gave the best loaf volume and overall acceptance, whereas those with 4.8% BARODON^® had the best odor, color and mouthfeel. BARODON^® will be very useful as a leavening agent for improving the overall quality of sprouted brown rice bread.

This study was carried out to investigate the quality of bread made with different types of brown rice flours. 20% of the wheat flour from the bread recipe was substituted with the different types of brown rice flours, such as, raw brown rice flour (RBRF), soaked brown rice flour (SOBRF), and sprouted brown rice flour (SPBRF). The loaf volume of the bread: decreased by 3.2%∼7.4% with the addition of the brown rice flours. The "L" value of these breads decreased, while the "a" and "b" values increased. In terms of the texture, the SPBRF bread was the hardest on the 1st day of storage, but it was the least hard on the 5th day of storage. The RBRF bread was the least springy. The SPBRF bread was the most cohesive. The adhesiveness was not significantly different among the breads. In terms of the degree of retrogradation using the ${\alpha}$-amylase method, the SOBRF and SPBRF breads showed a little lesser degree of retrogradation than the control and the RBRF bread. In the sensory evaluation, the control bread obtained high score for crumb color and grain, while the brown rice flours breads obtained high scores for mouthfeel and taste. Overall acceptability, defined by a higher score, was higher for the SOBRF and SPBRF breads than the control bread, which was not significant. Thus, this study showed that processing rice flour was more effective than raw rice flour in substituting wheat flour.

We analyzed the ${\gamma}$-aminobutyric acid (GABA) content of a selection of uncooked foods. Foods with GABA concentrations in excess of 100 nmole per g dry weight included: brown rice germ, brown rice sprouts, barley sprouts, bean sprouts, beans, corn, barley, brown rice, spinach, potatoes, sweet potatoes, yams, kale and chestnuts. Cereals included: brown rice germ, brown rice sprouts, barley sprouts, bean sprouts, beans, corn, barley, and brown rice and had GABA concentrations of 718, 389, 326, 302, 250, 199, 190, and 123 nmole per g dry weight (DW), respectively. The vegetables: spinach, potatoes, sweet potatoes, yams and kale contained 414, 166, 137, 129, 122 nmole GABA per g DW, respectively. The GABA concentration of chestnut was 188 nmole per g DW. However, oatmeal, adlay, broccoli, squash, carrots, onion, apples, lentinus edodes, green laver, and lactobacillus had GABA concentrations of less than 100 nmole per g DW. These results show that brown rice germ, sprouted cereals and spinach are good sources of plant-derived GABA. These data will be useful in selecting foods for the manufacturing of uncooked foods containing a relatively high concentrations of GABA.

Breads were prepared with the addition of sprouted brown rice flour(SBRF) as a funtional ingredient up to 50%, and their quality characteristics were evaluated through analyses of proximate composition amino acid by HPLC, fatty acid by GC, and sensory evaluation. The optimum amount of SBRF for bread preparation was 30%(w/w). The more SBRF was added, the greater the proximate components such as ash, crude protein, crude fat, fiber and amino acid content were, although the baking quality such as volume decreased. The results of sensory evaluation for bread showed that the more SBRF was added, the lower the scores of color, appearance. texture and the feelings in the mouth were, but the higher the score of taste.

The principal objective of this study was to assess the quality characteristics of Sprouted Brown Rice Dasik(SBRD) manufactured with various addition levels of honey and Yujacheong(Yuja syrup and Yuja sarcocarp) in accordance with the traditional method for the preparation of Korean Dasik(a kind of cookie). The nutritional components, color value, physical tests, volatile compounds, and sensory evaluation of SBRD to which Yujacheong was added were conducted. The results were summarized as follows. In SBRD to which Yujacheong had been added, the moisture contents and crude fat content did not differ significantly among the sample groups, and the contents of crude protein and crude ash increased with increasing additions of Yuja syrup and Yuja sarcocarp. The pH(p<0.001) and sweetness(p<0.001) were significantly higher in sample D1 than in samples D2 and D4. The L color value was highest in D2, the a value was highest in D3, and the b value was highest in sample D2. The texture property analysis showed that the cohesiveness, springiness, gumminess, and chewiness of SBRD to which Yujacheong was added were all significantly higher compared to sample D1. According to the results of our volatile analysis, the D1 and other experimental groups evidenced different flavors and antibacterial compositions. According to the results of our sensory evaluation, the appearance of the D1 sample was superior to the other samples. However, flavor, taste, texture, and overall preference were higher in the samples to which Yuja syrup and Yuja sarcocarp were added. These results indicate that SBRD to which Yujacheong was added, and particularly those to which Yuja syrup was added, is superior to Dasik prepared with honey in terms of flavor and taste, and this method will improve the flavor and preparation time, due to its lower pH.

This study examined the effects of sprouted brown rice (SR), gluten (G), and hydroxypropyl-methyl-cellulose (H) on the suppression of retrogradation in breads made with Korean wheat flour. An amylograph was used to determined the pasting properties of dough samples made with Korean wheat flour and additions of SR, SR+G, SR+H, and SR+G+H, respectively. In addition, a texture analyzer was employed to measure the hardness changes of bread samples left at room temperature for 72 hours. Finally, the type of retrogradation was calculated by the Avrami equation. The results showed that the addition of SR significantly decreased dough viscosity. However, the dough samples containing SR, G, and H all displayed reduced cold paste viscosity and setback, indicating a suppression of staling. The bread samples containing SR added to Korean wheat flour had increased hardness, but the addition of gluten (SR+G) reduced hardness. Upon examining the bread samples stored at room temperature for 24 hours, it was shown that the addition of G and H with SR (SR+G+H) suppressed retrogradation. Finally, the Avrami model data indicated that the type of retrogradation varied according to the addition of SR, G, and H. The breads made with hard wheat flour (HWF), WM, and WM+SR+H had similar Avrami exponents ($1.20{\sim}1.28$), while those for WM+SR, WM+SR+G, and WM+SR+G+H ranged from 2.7 to 3.3. Overall, the combined addition of SR and H was considered effective for preventing retrogradation in bread made with Korean wheat flour.

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of germination condition and drying temperature on growth and physicochemical properties of brown rice. Three brown rice seeds of Ilpumbyeo, Dasanbyeo and Heugjinjubyeo were stored at room temperature for six weeks to test the time-sequence germination viability. Relatively stable germination ratio was maintained until 2 weeks after storage. However, 3 weeks after storage, germination ratio of brown rice seeds started to decrease rapidly and their germination ratio was lower than 80%. For this reason, brown rice was recommended for seeding within 2 weeks after hulling. During the initial 5 days, germination ratio of 24 hours pre-soaking brown rice was higher about 2-3% than that of non-soaking brown rice. The $25^{\circ}C$ was considered as the most favorable temperature for brown rice germination, because of the high germination ratio and desirable coleoptile growth of the brown rice, and little seed rotting symptoms. The scanning electron micrographs showed the structural differences between hot-air dried and freeze dried germinated-brown rice kernel. In the freeze dried germinated-brown rice, seed coat (pericarp, tegmen and aleurone layer) was mechanically disrupted from the endosperm, and many cleavages were observed among starch storing cells and starch granules. The endosperm of freeze-dried brown rice kernels formed the sponge-like structures and showed the fragile traits. For this reason, hot-air drying is considered as more suitable method than freeze drying for germinated-brown rice. The crude protein and amylose contents were slightly changed, but there were no significant differences during the germination period. Crude fiber content was decreased, but crude Int and total amino acid contents were increased as seeding days increased. A rapid increase in $\alpha$-amylase activities of germinating brown rice was observed at S days after seeding, and $\alpha$-amylase activities were decreased from 8 days after seeding. Total free sugar contents were decreased during the germination period. There was continuous decline in the contents of sucrose and glucose until 8 days after seeding, but fructose and maltose content were gradually increased from the 5 days after seeding.

This study aimed to investigate the effects of pre-harvest sprouting (PHS)-damaged grains of rice on seed viability, germination percentage and seedling emergence rate. As comparing the seed lots of same cultivar 'Hopum' with different PHS percentages, seed lot with 8% PHS (high PHS percentage) showed 30% lower germination than that with 1% PHS (low PHS percentage). The difference of seedling emergence rate and seed viability percentages between the two seed lots was consistent with that of germination percentage. PHS-damaged brown rice was observed protruded embryo, discolored endosperm and fungi infected grains. PHS grains were classified into two groups, PHS-I showing endosperm discoloration in one third of a grain and PHS-II in more than half of a grain. The seed lot with high PHS percentage had much more PHS-II grains than that of low PHS percentage. PHS-II grains showed remarkably lower germination percentage than PHS-I grains and got severely moldy during germination test. In laboratory experiment, morphological changes and re-germination ability of seeds which dried after germination by soaking were tested. Sprouted seeds of 3mm shoot length showed half discolored endosperm and had a strong resemblance with PHS-II grains. Re-germination percentage of 3mm sprouted seeds sharply decreased than 2 mm sprouted seeds. Sprouted seeds which were treated for accelerated-aging (AA) for 24hr at $45^{\circ}C$ were significantly reduced in re-germination percentage compared to that of non-AA-treated sprouted seeds. These results indicate that PHS with over 3mm shoot length can severely damage not only grain appearance but also seed viability, germination percentage and seedling emergence rate. Therefore, we conclude that larger difference of germination percentage or seedling emergence rate between seed lots having smaller difference of PHS percentage might be caused by accelerated seed deterioration in PHS-damaged rice grains.

The quality of bread made of sprouted brown rice ($20\%$), wheat flour and pumpkin powder was investigated. The bread was manufactured with 0, 1, 3 and $5\%$ pumpkin powder (W/W) with increasing and wheat flour. Volume of the breads were decreased from 4.68 mL/g to 3.60 mL/g as pumpkin powder contents increased from $0\%\;to\;5\%$. Lightness decreased with increasing pumpkin powder contents. Yellowness increased from 10.97 to 27.01 with increasing pumpkin powder contents. Textural characteristics of bread crumb were influenced by adding additives pumpkin powder. Hardness, adhesiveness and chewiness of bread decreased as the added level of pumpkin powder. In sensory evaluation, sensory scores for color, flavor and overall quality of bread increased with increasing pumpkin powder contents.
