The objective of this study was to investigate the effects and availability of arrowroot powder in making white bread. The characteristics of pasting, farinogram and alveogram of the dough containing arrowroot powder were analyzed. Further, the physicochemical properties of white bread were analyzed by different mixing ratios (0, 3, 5 and 7%) of arrowroot powder during storage periods. When 7% of arrowroot powder was added, the initial pasting temperature of the dough by using a RVA (rapid visco analyzer) was significantly increased. Peak viscosity, holding strength, break down, final viscosity and set back were decreased by increasing added arrowroot powder. With the increasing amounts of arrowroot powder, the values of farinogram and alveogram parameter for the dough showed a tendency to decrement. The texture profile analysis of the white bread revealed that hardness, springiness, cohesiveness and gumminess were increased by adding arrowroot powder and further, the storage time was longer. By increasing the amount of added arrowroot powder, the L value of the white bread was decreased, whereas the a, b value were increased. In the sensory evaluation, the white bread of the control and that of the added 3% arrowroot powder showed the highest preference in total score.

This study was carried out to find optimal rice varieties and selection index for sushi. The suitability tests about appearance and palatability were conducted by 31 professional sushi chefs and the physicochemical and pasting properties of the selected 7 rice varieties (Koshihikari, Dami, Deuraechan, Boramchan, Juanbyeo, Sindongjin and Hopum) of milled and cooked rice were evaluated. According to the adaptability for sushi shape and taste of rice, Hopum and Sindongjin showed more suitable appearance and taste than others. Also, they showed remarkable pasting properties similar to Koshihikari which is widely known as a suitable for sushi. In the relationship between suitability and pasting properties for sushi, peak viscosity and breakdown viscosity showed highly positive correlation, and setback viscosity showed negative correlation. These results suggest that pasting properties can be applied to select the suitable varieties for sushi.

A study was carried out to establish a detection method for irradiated black pepper using amylograph characteristics. The maximum viscosity, viscosity at $93^{\circ}C$, viscosity after 15 min at $93^{\circ}C$, viscosity at $45^{\circ}C$, viscosity after 30 min at $45^{\circ}C$, and viscosity after 60 min at $45^{\circ}C$ decreased with increasing irradiation doses, but initial pasting temperatures, maximum viscosity temperatures, breakdown, setback, and consistency did not show great changes. The high correlation coefficients $(R^2>0.97)$ were shown between irradiation doses and amylograph characteristics except for breakdown $(R^2>0.75)$, setback $(R^2>0.88)$ and consistency $(R^2>0.31)$. These results suggest that detection of irradiated black pepper is possible using amylograph characteristics.

In order to understand the difference in rice eating quality, two rice varieties having different eating qualities were examined from the correlation between palatability score (Toyo value) and components of lipid in rice endosperm. We also analyzed the relationship between lipid properties and physicochemical characteristics of milled rice. Major fatty acids of milled rice starch-lipids, known to exist as inclusion complexes with amylose in starch granules, were palmitic (38.25% in Gopum and 39.75% in Palgong) and linoleic aicds (33.13% in Gopum and 31.93% in Palgong). In addition, the unsaturated fatty acid contents of rice endosperm showed a significant relationship with palatability. Plant sterols in two rice samples were identified, Gopumbyeo of good eating quality had high contents of squlaene and cycloartenol and similar contents of campesterol, stigmasterol and sitosterol. There were significant differences in pasting properties of rice flours and starches between the two cultivars. These results suggested that rice lipids impact on pasting properties after cooking, subsequently relating to palatability.

The relationship between mean air temperature after heading and starch characteristics of colored rice grains was investigated using three colored rice cultivars. Pasting temperature within each rice cultivar with different harvest times differed. The pasting temperatures of two rice cultivars, Hongjinju and Joseongheugchal, reached the highest at 40 days after heading and decreased during the late harvest time. Distribution of amylopectin in the Hongjinju rice cultivar at the earlier harvest time contained a greater number of very short chains with the degree of polymerization (DP) between 6 and 12 and fewer chains with a DP from 13 to 24 than that of the later harvest time. However, there was little difference in the distribution of the longer chains of $25{\leq}DP{\geq}36$ and $37{\leq}DP$ for latter harvest times compared to that of the earlier ones. It was suggested that the structure of amylopectin affected the varietal differences in patterns of chain length of amylopectin during grain filling. In addition, the control of ripening was different from that causing the pigment effects in the fine structure of amylopectin in the three colored rice cultivars. Larger starch granules were observed in the Joseongheugchal rice cultivar and smaller granules occurred in the Hongjinju rice cultivar. The present study revealed that later harvest times led to a clear increase in the mean granule size of starch in the three colored rice cultivars.

In this study, frying mix was prepared containing 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 or 2.0% brown rice fiber(BRF). The samples along with a control were then compared regarding their quality characteristics, including pasting properties, spreadability, pick-up ratio, color, textural characteristics, moisture and oil contents, and sensory qualities, all to determine the optimal ratio of BRF. For the pasting properties of frying mix, the control group was evidenced by a significantly higher peak viscosity, through viscosity, and final viscosity than that observed in the BRF samples. Breakdown was the highest at the 1.0% addition level, and time to peak viscosity and pasting temperature were maximal with the 0.5% addition. There was no significant difference in setback among the experiments. Spreadability and pick-up ratio of frying batter were not significantly different among the samples. As the BRF content increased, the lightness, greenness decreased, whereas yellowness increased. The BRF samples presented significantly higher hardness of fried batter than the control group and there was no significant difference in crispiness among the samples. Moisture content of fried sweet potato decreased with increasing BRF and oil content was the maximum on the control group. In the sensory evaluation, appearance, color, flavor, savory taste, yellowishness, coating thickness, off-flavor, and oiliness were not significantly different among the fried sweet potato samples. Bindingness, crispiness, and chewiness were highest in the control samples but minimal at a addition level of 2.0%. The control group evidenced significantly higher overall acceptability than were observed in the BRF samples. In conclusion, the results demonstrated that 0.5~1.0% BRF may prove quite useful as a additive for frying mix in the preparation of fried sweet potato and may provide favorable textural and functional properties.

This study uses turbidity and rheological measurements to examine the effects of the molecular weight (MW), substitution type and substitution degree of cellulose ether and water content on the cooking characteristics of rice noodles, the turbidity of the cooking solution, and the compression strength of the cooked noodles. When increasing the MW of cellulose ether and water content, the turbidity decreased, thereby improving the morphological stability of the rice noodles during cooking. Thus, when controlling the above factors effectively, the rice noodle cooking solution had a lower turbidity than with wheat noodles. Measuring the compression strength of the rice noodles using a rheometer was also effective for examining the pasting characteristics of the rice noodles and texture changes during cooking. As a result, the water content and MW of cellulose ether were found to affect the pasting characteristics and texture of the rice noodles more than the other factors examined.

In this study, the physicochemical characteristics of rice sourdough fermented with Omija extract were investigated. Rice sourdough was made with a 3 stage fermentation process. pH & total titratable acidity, numbers of yeast and lactic acid bacteria, and dough expansion rate were measured. In addition, an RVA was employed to study the pasting properties of rice sourdough. There was a significant (p<0.05) change in both the pH of rice sourdough, which decreased from 5.08 to 3.98, and total titratable acidity, which increased from 0.20 to 0.57 (0.1N NaOH mL), as fermentation time increased. The amount of yeast and lactic acid bacteria significantly increased from 6.73 to 7.65 log CFU/g, 6.93 to 7.65 log CFU/g, respectively(p<0.05). The expansion rate of rice sourdough fermented with Omija extract was higher than rice sourdough fermented without Omija extract. The initial pasting temperatures of rice sourdough fermented with Omija extract were decreased from $91.3^{\circ}C$ to 85.6. The final viscosity and setbacks decreased as fermentation time increased. These results suggest that Omija extract has a beneficial effect on increasing the expansion rate of rice sourdough as a substitute for wheat flour.

A total of 24 processed barley samples produced in Korea, 9 split and 15 pressed, were analyzed for protein, $\beta$-glucan, and amylose content whiteness cooking characteristics (water absorption and expansibility) and pasting properties, with respect to the areas in which they were grown. Split and pressed barley products from Japan were compared. Both forms of barley products had similar contents of protein and $\beta$-glucan. Whiteness was higher in pressed barley than in split barley. Split barley produced in Korea had a higher water absorption (342-436%) and expansibility (449-608%) than did pressed barley. Japanese processed barley products were much lower in protein (4.4-6.6%, w/w) and showed a higher whiteness grade than did Korean products. Whiteness of pressed barley ranged from 57.2-68.3 and was higher than that of split barley, but split barley product showed better cooking characteristics than did pressed barley. Japanese products were similar to Korean materials in this respect. A negative correlation was observed between protein content in and whiteness of processed barley products (r=-0.5112, p<0.01). Waxy barley products had a lower pasting temperature, and showed higher breakdown and lower setback than did non-waxy barley products. The pasting properties of Japanese products were different from those of Korean materials. The pasting temperatures of Japanese split and pressed barley were lower, and the setback much higher, than seen with Korean products. The results show that both splitting and pressing efficiently improve the cooking characteristics of barley. The processing of waxy barley was particularly effective.
