Starches from 4 rice cultivars, including Whachungchalbyeo and Whachungbyeo, together with two correspondiug conversion mutants with giant embryonic phenotype, Whachungchal-giant embryonic rice and Whachung-giant embryonic rice, were isolated to compare its physico-chemical properties. The amylose content and the length of glucose chains in the fractionated amylose was reduced in response to conversion of the rice cultivars for developing giant embryonic phenotype. For the fine structure of amylopectin, conversion to giant embyonic rice cultivars accompanied with slight increase in the length of B chain plus decrease in the amount of A chain, and also a slight increase in average glucose chains length of amylopectin fractions could be observed. X-ray diffractogram revealed 4 cultivars to be the representative A types. We could also obtain the results that the hydrolysis rate by glucoamylase in the waxy rice cultivars decreased in response to conversion to the giant embryonic rice cultivars, while the rate increased in the non-waxy rice cultivas. Termination temperature for gelatinization was observed to decrease in response to conversion into the giant embryonic rice cultivars, however, the enthalpy for gelatinization was found to increase with the same conversion process.

The amylose content, based on iodine blue value, of eight rice cultivars decreased in order of Nampungbyeo>Whachungbyeo>Punchilmi>Nampung CB243>Whachung du-1>Nampung EM90>Whachungchalbyeo>shr. The amylopectin chain length distribution was obtained by enzyme treatments followed by high-performance size-exclusion chromatographic separation. Chain length distribution profiles of the isoamylase-debranched starches showed distinct patterns according to cultivars. Based on the sensory evaluation result of the bread prepared from gluten and rice flours of eight rice cultivars, chewiness of the product was related with the presence of amylose while the short-chain amylopectin fraction was contributed to the texture and overall quality.

The quality characteristics for brown rice flake were examined using eight kinds of brown rice cultivars such as Shinsunchalbyeo, Shinsunchal giant embryonic rice, Whachungchalbyeo, Whachungchal giant embryonic rice, Whachungbyeo, Whachung giant embryonic rice, Nampungbyeo, and Nampung giant embryonic rice. The qualities of grain such as the released reducing sugar, water absorption rate and hardness of grain are examined with different temperature and time at sedimentation in water and pressed grain-brown rice flake are prepared after sedimentation in $60^{\circ}C$ water for 5 hours. The brown rice flakes prepared from the giant embryonic type rice cultivars showed higher expansion volume, lower hardness, more crispness, longer bowl life time and better taste than that prepare from normal type rice cultivars, which showed the giant embryonic type rice cultivars were appropriate for brown rice flakes. Among the giant embryonic type rice cultivars, the glutinous rice varieties were better to prepared the brown rice flakes than its normal rice cultivars. The water absorption index of flakes tested were positively correlated with expansion volume and bowl life hardness. From tested sensory evaluation were shown to be negatively correlated with water absorption index. Among the tested cultivars, Shinsunchal giant embryonic and Wachungchal giant embryonic rice were most appropriate for brown rice flakes preparation.
