Rice consumption has been continuously decreasing as the eating habits of Koreans have become westernized and diversified. The per capita annual rice consumption in Korea has dropped sharply from 136.4 kg in 1970 to 61.9 kg in 2016. The Korean government, therefore, has been trying to promote rice consumption by invigorating the processed food industry using rice flour. To facilitate the market for processed rice foods, it is essential to develop proper milling technology in terms of flour particle size and damaged starch content to produce high quality rice flour at competitive cost. Dry milling and wet milling are the two major processes used to produce rice flour. Although the dry milling process is relatively simple with a lower production cost, damaged starch content increases because of the high grain hardness of rice. In wet milling, the quality of rice flour is improved by reducing flour particle size as well as damaged starch content through soaking procedures. However, the production costs are high because of the additional expenses associated with the disposal of waste water, sterilization and drying of the wet flour. Recently developed technologies such as jet milling and cryogenic milling also require expensive investment and production. Therefore, developing new rice cultivars with dry milling adaptability as well as good processing properties is an important goal of rice breeding in Korea. 'Suweon 542' is a floury endosperm mutant line derived from sodium azide treatment on a high-yield, early maturing, and non-glutinous japonica rice cultivar, 'Namil'. Compared with the wild type, after dry milling process, the grain hardness of 'Suweon 542' was significantly lower because of its round and loosely packed starch granules. Also, the flour of 'Suweon 542' had significantly smaller particles and less damaged starch than 'Namil' and other rice cultivars and its particle size distribution was similar to a commercial wheat cultivar. Recently, through collaborations with nine universities and food companies, a total of 21 kinds of processed prototypes, using the dry milling flour of 'Suweon 542', were evaluated. In the production of major rice processing products, there was no significant quality difference between the flours prepared by wet milling and dry milling. Although the amount of water added to the dough was slightly increased, it was confirmed that the recipe applying the wet flour could be used without significant change. To efficiently transfer the floury endosperm characteristics of 'Suweon 542' to other commercial rice cultivars, it is essential to develop DNA marker tightly linked to the target gene. Association analysis using 70 genome-wide SSR markers and 94 F2 plants derived from 'Suweon 542'/'Milyang 23' showed that markers on chromosome 5 explained a large portion of the variation in floury grains percentage (FGP). Further analysis with an increased number of SSR markers revealed that the floury endosperm of 'Suweon 542' was directed by a major recessive locus, flo7(t), located in the 19.33-19.86 Mbp region of chromosome 5, with RM18639 explaining 92.2% of FGP variation in the F2 population. Through further physical mapping, a co-segregate and co-dominant DNA marker with the locus, flo7(t) was successfully developed, by which, thereby, breeding efficiency of rice cultivars having proper dry milling adaptability with high yield potential or useful functional materials would be improved. 'Suweon 542' maintained the early maturity of the wild type, Namil, which can be used in rice-wheat double cropping systems in Korea not only for improved arable land but also for sharing flour production facilities. In addition to the high susceptibility against major rice diseases, nevertheless, another possible drawback of 'Suweon 542' is the high rate of viviparous under prolonged rainfall during the harvesting season. To overcome susceptibility and vivipary of 'Suweon 542', the progeny lines, derived from the crosses 'Suweon 542' and 'Jopyeong', an early maturing rice cultivar with multiple resistance against rice blast, bacterial blight, and rice strip virus, and 'Heugjinju', a anthocyanin pigment containing black rice cultivar, were intensively evaluated. As the outputs, three dry milling suitable rice elite lines, 'Jeonju614', 'Jeonju615', and 'Jeonju616' were developed.

Laver Pyropia tenera snack is typically manufactured as an attached laver and carbohydrate-based rice papers or glutinous rice paste. Carbohydrates contribute to a crispy texture and many various additives are used for development of texture. Isomalto-oligosaccharide (IMO) and corn starch (CS) are typical additives in snack products that produce several changes, including texture. We investigated physicochemical properties of laver snacks prepared using IMO/CS ratios of 1:0 (Sample 1), 3:1 (Sample 2), 1:1 (Sample 3), 1:3 (Sample 4), and 0:1 (Sample 5). All of the prepared laver snacks displayed constant drying rates up to 45 minutes. Samples 1 and 5 had higher drying rates than the other laver snacks. Concerning CIE color values, Sample 5 displayed the highest brightness (L^*) value (78.89) and lowest yellowness (b^*) value (6.66). In contrast, Sample 1 displayed the lowest L^* value (74.65) and highest b^* value (17.23). The hardness proportionally decreased along with IMO content. In the sensory evaluation, overall acceptance was highest for Sample 1 with the highest oligosaccharide content.

This study was carried out to investigate the effects of modified starch, sugars and enzymatic hydrolysis with ${\beta}-amylase$ on extending the self-life of Injulmi, a Korean soft and glutinous rice cake, in terms of maintaining a soft texture. The Injulmi was prepared with or without kneading of waxy rice flour, NaCl and water mixture. The Injulmi was stored at -20, 4 and $20^{\circ}C$ and the hardness was measured to calculate the Avrami exponents during storage. The results showed that cold heading and enzymatic hydrolysis with ${\beta}-amylase$ before steaming of the waxy rice dough significantly extended the self-life on the basis of the Avrami equation. Among the various additives including different kinds of starches, sugars and polymannuronic acid, the addition of 1.5% tapioca starch, 8.0% of glucose or 3.0% of polymannuronic acid was also effective for delaying the retrogradation phenomena during storage. However, despite the effectiveness of these treatments, the Injulmi developed hardness within 2-3 days at $4^{\circ}C$ and within 4 days at $20^{\circ}C$ while storage at $-20^{\circ}C$ showed a storage stability that was maintained over x days. Sensory showed the Injulmi prepared with NOVA-0.005, GL-8.0 had a lower hardness than that of the other treatments.

The processing of rice is one of the measures to expand the scope of rice use in response to the decrease in rice consumption. Since the main ingredient of rice processing is rice flour, "rice flour varieties" have been bred with the aim to improve the productivity and quality of rice flour. In order to study the variation in the ripening characteristics of rice flour varieties with respect to temperature, the average temperature after heading date was set at 28℃ (33/23℃), 22℃ (27/17℃), and 18℃ (23/13℃) inside the phytotron. We used Saenuri as non-glutinous rice variety, Seolgaeng as soft-type rice flour variety, and Baromi2 as powdered rice flour variety. At high temperatures (28℃), the grain weight of Baromi2 decreased by 21%. Its starch content also decreased by more than 10%, which was significantly lower than that of Saenuri and Seolgaeng. At low temperatures (18℃), the grain weight and starch content slightly increased or were similar in all varieties. An analysis of changes in the grain weight due to effective accumulated temperature through the sigmoid function showed that the velocity of grain-filling slowed significantly when Baromi2 was exposed to low temperature during the ripening stage compared to the other varieties. Therefore, the transplanting time of Baromi2 should be delayed to avoid high temperatures during the ripening stage. However, because the ripening period is not properly secured under low temperature conditions, grain filling may not be sufficient.

Rice consumption in Korea is continuously decreasing; therefore, methods for reducing rice stocks are now being proposed. Increasing the consumption of rice and reduce these stocks will require that the rice processing industry be developed beyond simply using cooked rice as food. The Korean people's eating habits have also diversified recently, and the consumption of bread is increasing. Therefore, breeding a cultivar for rice flour is now necessary. Here, a line suitable for processing into rice flour was cultivated by deriving a mutant line by tissue culture of Ilpum. Mutant populations were investigated for major agricultural traits in the field, and grain characteristics and endosperm characteristics were investigated after harvest. Among the lines, line 29111 had similar agricultural characteristics to the background Ilpum, and excellent grain quality, and was selected for further analysis. The physicochemical properties that determine taste were similar or improved. However, unlike Ilpum, 29111 had a non-uniform starch structure and a characteristic powdery endosperm because large and male starch grains are evenly distributed. Therefore, 29111 was viewed as a breeding line suitable for processing and for excellent agricultural characteristics and taste. The added value can be increased by diversifying the uses of rice. The taste was improved and a method for breeding cultivars with grain characteristics for glutinous rice that would satisfy both producers and consumers was presented.

This study was carried to investigate the changes in physical and chemical properties during preparation of Yukwa. Protein content of glutinous rice was decreased during soaking time and acid and pH values were increased while contents of lipid and ash were not changed. Particle size distribution showed thate average particle size of 7 days soaking treatment smaller than those of 3 days and starch damage of glutinous rice flour was increased during soaking time. The major flavor components after soaking were found ethyl ester acetic acid, ethanol, 2-butan -ol, 2-methyl 1-propanol, 1-butanol, 3-methyl 1-butanol and 1-pentanol, propanoic acid. Content of acetic acid and butanoic acid were rapidly increased during soaking time. Results for ratio of storage modulus(G') and loss modulus(G') in glutinous rice flour dough indicated $tan{\delta}$ was increased for a while and decreased as frequency increased. G' value was very similar with G' value after steaming which means rubber-like property while G' and G' value were changed after during storage time. Treatment at $-20^{\circ}C$ had the highest hardness for cutting degree of dough. There was no difference in color value between different water contents. Hardness of Bandegi (sheet) was decreased as water content increased and the highest popping value was obtained at 18% of water contents. Adding 3% soaked bean had higher redness value of Yukwa and lower value in yellowness.

${\alpha}-amylase$ activities of bean water was not significantly influenced by bean water concentrations but they were remarkably influenced by different temperatures and substrates. ${\alpha}-amylase$ activities of bean water on cooked starch were significantly higher than those on raw starch. ${\beta}-amylase$ and glucoamylase activities in 14% bean water were significantly higher than those in 7% bean water. Yukwa paste is glutinous rice flour paste. Bean water was added to Yukwa paste by 0, 7, 14% and incubated 0, 3, 6, 9, 12 hours at $60^{\circ}C$. The pH of Yukwa paste increased with bean water concentration and decreased with the incubation time. The viscosity decreased with bean water concentration and incubation time. The ruducing sugar content of Yukwa paste increased with bean water concentration and incubation time. The changes of reducing sugar content in cooked Yukwa paste were much higher than those in the raw one. ${\alpha},\;{\beta}-amylase$glucoamylase activities of Yukwa paste also increased with bean water concentration, and their activities were much higher on the cooked glutinous rice flour than those on the raw one. The SEM observation on the freeze-dried flour of Yukwa paste showed breakdown of amylopectin structure by addition of bean water in the paste.

Sogokju, a Korean glutinous rice wine and one of the oldest Korean traditional wines, is famous for its unique taste acquired from a 100-day incomplete fermentation process. This study investigated the effects of the degree of rice milling on the physicochemical and sensory characteristics of Sogokju. It evaluated the physicochemical characteristics, pasting and color properties, and structural properties of starch using four different degrees of milled rice (Oryza sativa L.) cultivar Dongjinchalbyeo. Samples of brown rice with milling yields of 92%, 84%, 76%, and 68% were produced using both abrasive and friction whiteners. This study showed that the protein, lipid, and ash content of milled rice decreased as the degree of milling increased. The lower hardness of the kernel below milling yield 92% suggested that milling may be related to the lower protein content of the kernel. The pasting curve showed a significant increase in viscosity properties as the degree of milling increased. This is due to the decrease in protein and lipid content, the increase in starch content, and the difference in amylopectin chain-length distribution. Further milling of white rice, based on 92% milling yield, had an effect on the amylopectin chain-length distribution due to the degree of polymerization (DPn) of 37~60. The long chain of amylopectin also contributed to the viscosity. The increase in the degree of milling decreased the glucose and total sugar content of Sogokju. However, it increased the total acidity of Sogokju. Moreover, the lightness of Sogokju decreased while its yellowness increased. These results indicate that the degree of milling can alter the taste and color of Sogokju. The sensory evaluation showed that the increase in the degree of milling decreased consumer preference for Sogokju. The sensory score for Sogokju was positively correlated with its brix degree, glucose content, pH, and protein content of raw rice.
