We examined the antioxidant content and activity in methanolic extracts from split polished barley (Spb), pearled black barley (Pbb), hulled yellow barley (Hyb), hulled purple barley (Hpb), and hulled black barley (Hbb). The extraction yields of Spb, Pbb, Hyb, Hpb, and Hbb were 2.85, 3.62, 4.62, 4.41, and 6.58%, respectively. The polyphenolic and flavonoid contents were 57.93 and 24.02 for Spb, 64.01 and 27.92 for Pbb, 122.88 and 36.38 for Hyb, 134.94 and 36.51 for Hpb, and 163.43 and 39.70 mg/100 g for Hbb, respectively. The antioxidant activity of hulled barley was significantly higher than that of split or pearled barley. The results of this study show that the antioxidant activity in barley bran has significant health benefits.

This study was conducted to find out optimum conditions for kanjang fermented with barley bran. The correlation between taste components and sensory evaluation score was analyzed with stepwise multiple regression analysis. It was revealed that the taste of kanjang was explained with the mix of free amino acids, free sugars and organic acids. The highest multiple correlation coefficient was obtained from absolute value transformed with logarithm. Thus, stepwise multiple regression analysis was conducted with absolute value transformed with logarithm, for which F-value was highest and standard error of estimation was lowest among the multiple regression models transformed with six variables. The stepwise multiple regression analysis showed that the taste components which most contribute to the quality of taste of kanjang fermented with barley bran was salty taste component followed by palatable taste component, and bitter taste component.

The effects of feeding rice bran and beet pulp mixtures on the site and extent of digestion and microbial synthesis in fattening steers were studied. Three Holstein steers fitted with ruminal, duodenal and ileal cannulas were fed four diets in a $4{\times}3$ Youden square design. The four diets consisted of 15% Italian ryegrass hay and 85% concentrate as a control diet which included 72% rolled barley, 20% rice bran plus 40% beet pulp, 30% rice bran plus 30% beet pulp or 40% rice bran plus 20% beet pulp. All diets provided 1.8 times digestible energy required for maintenance. The digestibility of fat in the small intestine (% of flow) showed an increase with rice bran content among the by-product diets. Digestibility of structural carbohydrate both in the rumen and the whole digestive tract decreased linearly with rice bran content. The digestibility of nonstructural carbohydrate was not affected by rice bran content, but that of nonstructural, nonstarch polysaccharides was higher in the rumen and lower in the large intestine for the by-product diets than for the control diet. A rice bran content of more than 30% in the by-product diets severely inhibits ruminal microbial synthesis and digestible energy intake in fattening steers.

This study summarized processing factor (PF) by the stage of rice and barley processing based on JMPR reports from 2006 to 2016. We compared PF of 17 pesticides in rice products during the processing of rice grain, husked rice, polished rice, hulls, bran and cooked rice. Among the 17 pesticides, 12 pesticides except for 5 pesticides such as acephate, methamidophos, glufosinate, quinclorac and sulfoxaflor mostly decreased in pesticides when rice grain processed into brown rice. Pesticides tended to be partially reduced when processed from husked rice to polished rice. However, hulls and bran produced during the milling process were concentrated. Acephate and others, 5 pesticides are systemic pesticides, and pesticides are penetrated into foods, and a large amount of pesticides was not removed during the milling process. The remaining pesticide residues in polished rice were mostly removed after processing into cooked rice, and trace amounts of pesticide residues remained. In the comparison of 23 pesticides PF during the processing of barley products (pearl barley, flour, short, malt, beer, hulls and bran). Most of the pesticide except for 4 pesticide (ethephon, pyraclostrobin, penthiopyrad, sulfoxaflor), which are systemic pesticides, decreased during the process of pearl barley production out of the barley grain. The pesticide in the malt, which was made by steeping pearl barley was concentrated but when processed into beer, pesticide was remained only in trace amounts.

Solid-state fermentation using hulled barley was carried out to produce enzymes and β-glucan. The one-factor-at-a-time experiments were carried out to determine the optimal composition of the basal medium. The modified synthetic medium composition in liquid-state fermentation was determined to be 70 g/l hulled barley, 0 g/l rice bran, 5 g/l soytone, and 6 g/l ascorbic acid. Optimal pretreatment conditions of hulled barley by solid-state fermentation were evaluated in terms of maximum production of fungal biomass, amylase, protease, and β-glucan, which were 1.26 mg/g, 31310.34 U/g, 2614.95 U/g, and 14.6% (w/w), respectively, at 60 min of pretreatment condition. Thus, the solid-state fermentation process was found to enhance the overall fermentation yields of hulled barley to produce high amounts of enzymes and β-glucan.

Five types of agricultural wastes were used for the production of xylanolytic enzyme by Aspergillus flavus K-03. All wastes materials supported high levels of xylanase and ${\beta}-xylosidase$ production. A high level of proteolytic activity was observed in barley and rice bran cultures, while only a weak proteolytic activity was detected in corn cob, barley and rice straw cultures. Maximum production of xylanase was achieved in basal liquid medium containing rice barn as carbon source for 5 days of culture at pH 6.5 and $25^{\circ}C$. The xylanolytic enzyme of A. flavus K-03 showed low thermostability. The times required for 50% reduction of the initial enzyme activity were 90 min at $40^{\circ}C$, 13 min at $50^{\circ}C$, and 3 min at $60^{\circ}C$. Xylanolytic activity showed the highest level at pH $5.5{\sim}10.5$ and more than 70% of the original activity was retained at pH 6.5 and 7.0. The higher stability of xylanolytic enzymes in the broad range of alkaline pH is useful for utilization of the enzymes in industrial process requiring in alkaline conditions. Moreover, the highest production of xylanolytic enzyme was obtained when 0.5% of rice bran was supplied in basal liquid medium. SDS-PAGE analysis revealed a single xylanase band of approximately 28.5 kDa from the culture filtrates.

This study was conducted in order to establish an in vitro method simulating the physiological function of fibers along the large intestine of humans. Commercial fibers including guar gum, apple pectin, citrus pectin, CM-cellulose, alginic acid and $\alpha$-cellulose, and dietary fiber residues obtained from rice bran, barley, soybean, Korea cabbage, apple, tangerine and sea mustard were employed to determine the water-holding capacity, weight of hydrated residue and fiber content after anaerobic fermentation using human fecal inoculum for 24 hours, followed by dialysis under osmotic suction pressure. The weight of hydrated residue in commercial fibers was in the decreasing order of CM-cellulose > alginic acid, $\alpha$-cellulose > apple pectin, citrus pectin > guar gum and that in food fiber residues was in the decreasing order of rice bran, sea mustard > soybean > tangerine, Korean cabbage > barley > apple. It was demonstrated that the larger the weight of hydrated residue was, the more the weight of human stool increased. Consequently this in vitro method can be used as a preceeding test before undertaking animal or human experiment to predict the physiological effects of fiber residues from diverse food samples as well as commercially refined fibers.

The changes in taste components of kanjang made with barley bran during fermentation time were examined. The pH was gradually decreased and total nitrogen content reached to 0.7% at 90 days fermentation. Five kinds of free sugars, three kinds of volatile organic acid, and eight kinds of non-volatile organic acid were detected. Lactic acid known as abundant component in kanjang was not detected in kanjang made with barley bran. The content of free amino acid was $422.9{\sim}803.6\;mg%$. Glutamic acid was most abundant component among the amino acids, followed by proline and phenylalanine. Essential amino acid content was revealed $34.3{\sim}37.3%$. Based on result of sensory evaluation, it was most comfortable to eat sample of fermentation $45{\sim}60$ days.

Effect of ${\gamma}$-irradiation to cereal processed by-products was examined for antioxidative ability. Rice hull (RH), rice bran (RB) and barley bran (BB) were irradiated with 5, 10, 15 and 20 kGy of ${\gamma}$-ray at 4.2 kGy/h. The amount of total phenol compounds of unirradiated RH, RB, and BB were 0.873 mM, 0.643 mM, and 0.377 mM, respectively. Irradiation up to 20 kGy did not show noticeable effect to the amount of total phenol compounds in RH, RB and BB. Electron donating abilities of RH, RB and BB were very similar, and they were not affected by irradiation. According to TBARS analyses, the inhibition abilities of lipid peroxidation of RH and RB were not affected by ${\gamma}$-irradiation, while those of BB were decreased with irradiation. These results indicate that BB is more sensitive to ${\gamma}$-irradiation than other rice processed by-products.
