Purpose: To improve the cooking quality of brown rice, newly inbred soft rice cultivars were investigated. Methods: The physicochemical properties of brown rice flour and water absorption patterns and cooking characteristics of brown rice grain were compared to Ilmi white and brown rice. Results: General composition and total dietary fiber contents of five rices were significantly different with higher ash, protein, and total dietary fiber contents in soft brown rice than white rice. The hardness of raw rice grain was higher in Ilmi brown rice than in soft brown rice. The water absorption increased rapidly in 30 min of white rice and in 4-6 h of brown rices. The apparent amylose content of soft brown rice was lower than that of Ilmi rice. The initial pasting temperature and all viscosities were significantly different, but the trend was not similar. The textural properties of hardness and roughness were higher, but adhesiveness, cohesiveness, and stickiness were lower in Ilmi brown rice than white and soft brown rices. In sensory preference test, not only textural properties, hardness, adhesiveness, cohesiveness, stickiness, and roughness, but also color, glossiness, and roasted flavor were higher in soft brown rices. Especially soft brown rice B showed the best cooking quality among all rices. Conclusion: The results of the study suggested that soft brown rice is developed for cooking with high nutritional and functional quality.

Whole grain wheat flour (WGWF) is the entire grain (bran, endosperm, and germ) milled to make flour. The WGWF of 31 Korean wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars were analyzed for the chemical compositions, and classified into groups by hierarchical cluster analysis (HCL). The average composition values showed a substantial variation among wheat varieties due to different wheat varieties. Wheat cv. Shinmichal1 (waxy wheat) had the highest ash, lipid, and total dietary fiber contents of 1.76, 3.14, and 15.49 g/100 g, respectively. Using HCL efficiently classified wheat cultivars into 7 clusters. Namhae, Sukang, Gobun, and Joeun contained higher protein values (12.88%) and dietary fiber (13.74 %). Regarding multi-trait crop breeding, the variation in chemical compositions found between the clusters might be attributed to wheat genotypes, which was an important factor in accumulating those chemicals in wheat grains. Thus, once wheat cultivars with agronomic characteristics were identified, those properties might be included in the breeding process to develop a new variety of wheat with the trait.

Several field and sweet corn varietiea from several sources were crossed with a variety carrying the opaque-2 gene to determine the phenotypic interactions in the breeding of high lysine maize. Although opaque-2 lines showed lower protein content than the corresponding normal varieties, there was no correlation between the protein levels of the two types. opaque-2 maize contained more lysine, but no relationship was found between the protein content and the lysine content of either normal or opaque-2 types, suggesting that high lysine corn using the opaque-2 gene may be developed independently from the protein content. The F2 segregation ratios for normal and opaque-2, 100-kernel weights, percentage seed set, opaque-2 phenotype, disease susceptibility, and the relationship between protein and lysine content of normal and opaque-2 were investigated. The determinations and observations were made on the F2, F3, and BC1 Lysine content was determined by the ion exchangeresin combined with paper chromatography method. Most crosses segregated in a 1-opaque-2 : 3-normal ratio as expected. Opaque-2 segregates were lighter than the normal type and smaller in size. A mottled phenotype of opaque-2 maize observed in the Philippines yellow endersperm. In some varieties opaque-2 maize was very susceptible to the ear and kernel rot disease. No. 5(female) and opaque-2(male). Selectlon of a double mutant of waxy and opaque-2 by using the iodine technique and electric lamp was discussed. opaque-2 and floruy-2 were not allels. Different percentage of seed set were observed in the segregation of aewx crossed with opaque-2. An unusual gametophytie relationship was involved in a cross between Glutinous.

The increasing price of surimi has affected the economical benefits of surimi based food industry, To maintain gel strength in low grade surimi, the optimum formulation adding functional proteins to low grade surimi is required. The objective of this study was to develop the optimum formulation of ingredients in making gels in low grade surimi on the addition of functional non-muscle proteins to low grade surmi by measuring rheological properties of the gels. The rheological qualities of the cooked gels made with A and RA grade surimi on the effects of adding five kinds of starches (potato, wheat, waxy maize, corn and modified corn) and four kinds of functional proteins (bovine plasma protein, dehydrated egg white, soy protein isolate and whey protein concentrate) to the gels were evaluated, The gel styengths at cooking with A and RA grade surimi were decreased with increasing the added starches. The kind of starches added affected little the gel strengths in Rh grade surimi, while potato and corn starches decreased at the least in gel strengths of the gel made with A grade surimi with increasing the concentration of starches. The bovine plasma protein (BPP) significantly increased the gel strength, especially in RA grade surimi, but BPP decreased the whiteness of the gel. Therefore, the optimum content of BPP was up to $2\%$ because of the whiteness of the gels in RA grade surimi, The optimum formulation for the gel with RA grade surimi to satisfy the gel strength of 1000$\times$g and $78\%$ moisture was $40.9\%$ surimi, $9.1\%$ dehydrated egg white (DEW) and $0.9\%$ starch, while that with A grade surimi under the same condition was $37.9\%$ surimi, $6.6\%$ DEW and $3,4\%$ starch.

To promote the consumption of race, comparative study was performed on characteristics of wheat flour noodle mixed with brown rice flour and colored rice flour. Protein content of colored rice was higher than that of the brown rice, but lipid and ash contents were similar to those of brown rice. Colored rice flour had significantly lower peak viscosity, holding viscosity, breakdown viscosity, final viscosity and setback viscosity than those of wheat flour, while brown rice had significantly higher peak viscosity, breakdown viscosity and setback viscosity than those of colored rice flour and wheat flour. Colored rice and brown rice had 5.3~6.4% total dietary fiber, and the proportions of soluble fiber in total dietary fiber were quite low, ranging from 9.4% to 18.8%. L(brightness), a(redness) and b(yellowness) of raw noodles were measured using a colorimeter. L(brightness) and b(yellowness) values of Asian raw noodles made from colored rice and brown rice significantly decreased. Addition of colored rice flour and brown rice flour to Asian noodle reduces cutting forces of dry and cooked noodles. The cooked noodle with 10% chalheukmi waxy rice flour was the highest in the cutting force of cooked noodle. Addition of 20% chalheukini waxy rice flour and 20% brown rice flour to wheat flour was got to a relatively high score for appearance, color, texture, taste and overall eating quality from sensory evaluation of cooked noodles.

The physicochemical properties of rice flour produced by 3 different grinding methods using various steeping times (3, 6, 9, and 12 hrs) were investigated. Roller mill gave coarse rice flour; the pin mill, intermediate flour; and mixed when both (roller & pin mills) were used. With the increase of steeping times, the rice flours became finer and the contents of crude protein, crude fat and crude ash decreased. Damaged starch was noticeably high in rice flour by roller & pin mills compared to those by roller or pin mills alone. Amylose contents, solubility and swelling power increased as the steeping times increased. Water binding capacity was the highest in roller & pin mills, followed by pin mill. In scanning electron microscope (SEM), pin mill showed distribution of separated fine particles of rice flours. The physicochemical properties of rice flours showed many differences by steeping times of rice and grinding methods. With sufficient steeping times, the rice flours obtained from pin mill were relatively fine having less damaged starch.

The present study was performed to expand the application of mechanically impacting technology reported in our previous studies. Several parameters were analyzed to research Korean indigenous pigmented rice. The proximate composition of Korean indigenous rice was the following; 12.0-13.4% moisture, 74.1-77.3% carbohydrate, 6.8-8.7% crude protein, 1.68-3.25% crude lipid, 0.78-1.38% crude ash, with a 6.6-7.07 pH value. The phenolic compound content of red rice was twice that of black rice. Moreover, antioxidative activity was estimated by DPPH radical-scavenging activity (IC50 = 0.15-1.04 mg/mL). Anthocyanin and chlorophyll in each pigmented rice type were detected by spectrophotometer. Garaedduk samples were prepared with non-waxy rice, salt, 24% water, and/or 15% indigenous pigmented rice(red, green and black, w/w of total swelling non-waxy rice) and adapted with or without mechanically impacting technology. Hardness, as a main texture profile parameter of Garaedduk was maintained up to 3 days under storage at $20^{\circ}C$. The results suggest that Korean indigenous pigmented rice can be applied for functional Garaedduk adapted with mechanically impacting technology.

Germination is controlled by internal factors of seeds and external factors such as water, temperature and light. We investigated the relationship between germination characteristics of four waxy rice cultivars and patterns of water uptake, antioxidant enzymes and free soluble sugars during early imbibition. Seed viabilities by tetrazolium test of four different rice cultivars were higher than 95% and germination rates of the hulled rice seeds were on 95% average. However, germination rate of intact rice among four cultivars showed a big difference depending on temperature. Water uptake of hulled and intact rice seeds during imbibition reached a stationary phase at around 30% moisture content. Although rates of water uptake were faster in hulled rice and high temperature than intact rice and low temperature condition, difference of those among cultivars was greater under low temperature than high temperature. The time required for rice seeds to uptake 30% water was negatively correlated with percentage of germination, germination energy, germination speed and mean germination time. Guaiacol peroxidase activity at 24h of imbibition was correlated with germination energy and germination speed but not percentage of germination. Catalase activity, soluble protein and maltose concentration at 24h of imbibition were not correlated with characteristics of germination. These results suggest that a time required for rice seeds to uptake 30% of water significantly correlated with germination and guaiacol peroxidase activity during early imbibition plays an important role in initiation of germination.

This study was carried out to investigate the physicochemical characteristics of corn silks. Pollination of corn silks was finished within three days after silking, and elongation of open pollinated corn silks was stopped, but unpollinated silks elongated until eight days after silking. Moisture contents of corn silks were about 92-94% at silking stage, but continuously decreased. these were about 70-75% at 30 days after silking. Chlorophyll b was higher than chlorophyll a in corn silks, and chlorophyll a/b ratios of four hybrids were high in this order : silage ＞ sweet ＞ super sweet ＞ waxy corn. Free sugars in corn silks were mainly fructose, glucose and maltose. Their composition rate was 55% of glucose, 42% of fructose and 4% of maltose. Water soluble solid (Brix %) contents of unpollinated corn silks were ranged from 13.7 to 16.8 Brix % and pollinated corn silks were from 12.6 to 13.7 Brix %. Phytic, oxalic, malic. shikimic, glutaric and acetic acid were detected on corn silks. Phytic, oxalic and glutaric acid were considered as a major organic acids in corn silks. Amino acids in corn silks were high in this order : waxy ＞ silage ＞ sweet ＞sweet corn. Serine, glycine and thereoine were contained more than 10%, and five amino acids such as aspartic, glutaric, arginine, alanine and proline were ranged about 5 to 8%. Methionine and cystine, amino acids containing sulfur were contained only small quantity as about 2.1% and 1.3%, respectively. Acetaldehyde, ethanol, acetone, DMS, isobutylaldehyde, cis-3-hexanol, 3-hexe-1-ol, acetate, trans-2-hexanol and pentanol were detected as the volatile components in corn silks, but acetaldehyde and DMS were major volitiles in silage corn silks, and acetaldehyde, ethanol and DMS were major volitiles in waxy corn silks. The length of corn silks was a positively correlated with organic acids (r=${0.556}^*$), and a negatively correlated with amino acids (r=${-0.514}^*$), respectively. Free sugars were positively correlated with all characteristics tested and significantly correlated with organic acid (r=TEX>${0.703}^{**}$), and flavonoids (r=TEX>${0.544}^*$). Chlorophyll was significantly correlated with flavonoid contents (r=TEX>${0.523}^*$). For this reason chlorophyll was evaluated as an indirect selection character for the high flavonoid containing varieties.

The objective of this study was to investigate the structural and physicochemical properties of starch by barely cultivars. Hwanggeumchal had a moisture content and ${\beta}$-glucan content of 12.02 and 6.23%, respectively. Hyegang had higher protein contents than those of the other cultivars. As a result of observing the particle size of starch, Hwanggeumchal and Hyegang had smaller particles of starch compared with the other cultivars at 15.7 and $15.9{\mu}m$, respectively. The analysis results on the content of damaged starch showed that Dahan and Hyegang had a damaged starch content of 1.14 and 1.20%, whereas Boseokchal and Hwanggeumchal were 0.76 and 0.49% respectively, showing low waxy cultivars. As for the content of amylose, the results show that Dahan and Hyegang had an amylose content of 37.07 and 37.75%, and Boseokchal and Hwanggeumchal were at 11.22 and 37.75%, respectively. As for the degree of amylopectin polymerization, all four cultivars had the highest degree of polymerization (DP) content of 13 - 24 at more than 54%, whereas the DP content ${\geq}37$ was the lowest at less than 5.35%. The results for the soluble and resistant starch content show that the content of soluble starch ranged from 93.90 to 95.76%, and resistant starch was 0.17 - 0.40%. After analyzing the gelatinization properties of barley starch, the value of the setback was low in Hwanggeumchal and Hyegang; thus, it is considered that the aging process of those cultivars will be slower than that of the others.
