This study investigated the physicochemical quality, antioxidant activity, instrumental sensory characteristics of nurungi prepared from rice and dried-radish root bugak powder (DRBP). DRBP was made from dried-radish root bugak (DRB) coated with 80% superfine glutinous and 20% non-glutinous rice powders. The nurungji food products were prepared using 80% non-glutinous rice and 20% glutinous rice, and DRBP, which was added at different levels of 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10%, respectively (NR-2, NR-4, NR-6, NR-8, and NR-10). The total polyphenol and flavonoid contents were increased from 21.34 to 27.87 mL, and 7.46 to 20.05 mgNE/mL respectively, as the amounts of DRBP increased. Color L^*-value, pH, and hydration properties were decreased with the increased amounts of DRBP. The electronic tongue results showed that NR-6 sample had high umami scores and sourness compared to the control sample (NR-0). Furthermore, SEM images indicated different shapes between the control (NR-0) and other treatments. However, no differences among nurungji treated with DRBP. Therefore, the use of DRB coated with superfine glutinous and non-glutinous rice powders is a viable ingredient for nurungji preparation. This study shows that adding 6% DRBP produced nurungji with good- quality physicochemical and sensory characteristics.

An ultimate purpose of this study is to develop an automatic brown rice quality inspection system using image processing technique. In this study emphasis was put on developing an algorithm for discriminating the brown rice kernels depending on their external quality with a color image processing system equipped with an adaptor for magnifying the input image and optical fiber for oblique illumination. Primarily , geometrical and optical features of sample images were analyzed with unhulled paddy and various brown rice kernel samples such as sound, cracked, green-transparent , green-opaque, colored, white-opaque and brokens. Secondary, an algorithm for discrimination of the rice kernels in static state was developed on the basis of the geometrical and optical parameters screened by a statistical analysis(STEPWISE and DISCRIM Procedure, SAS ver.6). Brown rice samples could be discriminated by the algorithm developed in this study with an accuracy of 90% to 96% for the sound , cracked, colored, broken and unhulled , about 81% for the green-transparent and the white-opaque and about 75% for the green-opaque, respectively. A total computing time required for classification was about 100 seconds/1000 kernels with the PC 80486-DX2, 66MHz.

The effects of addition of brown rice flour on the Backsulgies were examined. We chose the addition ratio of brown rice flour as 0%, 50%, 100% along with the pilot study. The addition of brown rice flour did not make significant changes in water-binding capacity, swelling power and the degree of gelatinization. But the addition of brown rice flour had a delaying effect of retrogradation of Backsulgies by textural analysis. In sensory evaluation, the Backsulgi added brown rice flour 50% had the highest value in the overall quality of sensory characteristics. But there was no significant difference in the other sensory characteristics between the 50% and 0% added with. Therefore we concluded that the addition of brown rice flour on Backsulgies improve the sensory characteristics as well as delay the retrogradation and would be a good source of dietary fiber.

Yeast-leavened rice bread with added vital wheat gluten was formulated by substituting normal rice flour with 0~30% black rice flour, and the effects of black rice flour substitution on rice bread quality were investigated. Black rice flour contained more protein, lipid, and ash contents than normal rice flour. Increasing levels of black rice flour substitution decreased the specific loaf volume of rice bread. Black rice flour decreased lightness and yellowness, and imparted a reddish color in the bread crumbs. Only a slight difference in crumb firmness was observed between control rice bread (100% normal rice flour) and rice bread containing up to 20% black rice flour. However, crumb firmness of rice bread containing 30% black rice flour was considerably higher than that of the control rice bread and increased rapidly at 2~3 days during a 3-day storage period at $25^{\circ}C$. Antioxidant activity of rice breads was estimated by determining electron-donating ability (EDA) to DPPH radical. The electron-donating ability slightly increased with increasing levels of black rice flour in rice bread.

The increasing area of abandoned rice fields could provide new opportunities for wetland restoration in Asia. However, it is unknown how quickly or completely abandoned rice fields will recover from agricultural disturbances. We assessed water quality and plant community succession in abandoned rice fields with different hydrology in a mountain valley to understand the effects of hydrological regime on recovery. Water level, soil redox potential, water quality, plant composition, and primary production were measured. The sites, coded as D6, N13, and N16, had been recovering for 6, 13, and 16 years by 2006. N13 and N16 have been recovering naturally whereas D6 has been drained with a nearby dike and was tilled in 2001. The typical hydroperiods of D6, N13, and N16 were no surface water, permanently flooded, and seasonally flooded, respectively. The major change in vegetation structure of both D6 and N13 was the replacement of herbaceous species by woody species. Drawdown accelerated this change because Salix koreensis grew better in damp conditions than in flooded conditions. Phragmites japonica reduced plot-level plant species richness. The removal efficiency of $NH_4-N$, $NO_3-N$, and $PO_4-P$ from water varied seasonally, ranging between -78.8 to 44.3%, 0 to 97.5%, and -26.0 to 44.4%, respectively. In summary, abandoned rice fields quickly became suitable habitat for native wetland plant species and improved regional water quality. Variation among our sites indicates that it is likely possible to manage abandoned rice fields, mostly through controlling hydrology, to achieve site-specific restoration goals.

In Nigeria, Igbemo-Ekiti is synonymous with a popular local rice which, nevertheless, is characterized with contaminations. Efforts of Government through the Agricultural Development Project (ADP) to improve rice quality in the state, have failed to yield the desired results. This study, therefore, reports the peculiar factors influencing the processing of rice in Igbemo-a major local producing town in Ekiti State, Nigeria. 72 respondents were interviewed, which was a census of the rice processors in 21 residential quarters of the town. Using the multiple linear regression models for analysis, the study discovered that; (i) status of the processors, (ii) expenditure on processing (iii) training acquired before commencing work, and (iv) storage facilities are crucial factors impacting rice processing activities in the town. The paper canvasses for policy measures based on research findings.

Agricultural water quality standards were reviewed through rice culture using treated sewage irrigation . The seqage from school building of Konkuk University was treated by a constructed wetland system, and theeffluent of the systeml was irrigated for rice culutre after nutrient concentration adjusted by dilution. Average concentration of COD, SS, T-N and T-P in irrigated water was 22.3mg/$\ell$, 6.5mg/$\ell$, 25.8 mg/$\ell$and 2.2mg/$\ell$, respectively. Treatment include irrigation of adjusted effluent with conventional fertilization (TWCF), adjusted effluent with no fertilization (TWNF). and effluent of the wetland system as it was with no fertilization (SWNF). These treatment plots were compared with control plot irrigated by tap water with conventional fertilization (CONTROL). Other environmentals for rice culture were identical for all the plots. Among them, TWCF showed the best growth rate and the highest yield, and constituents in the harvested rice showed not much difference among them. Which implies that irrigation with relatively high nutrient concentration compared to the current water quality standards may cause no adverse effect on rice culture and could be even beneficial . Although T-N for this study was 25 times greater than the current standards, rice culture wasnot adversely affected by irrigatino water quality and even beeter results were observed than the CONTROL. It could be mistakenly that clean irrigation water produces better agricultural product, however, it is not necessarily true. Irrigation water with moderate nutrient concentration can enhance the plant growth, and better result might be expected. Therefore, peer review and modification if necessary are needed to the current agricultural water quality standards, especially for the nutrient components.

This study attempted to determine the effects of sucrose, NaCl and acetic acid on the quality characteristics of cooked rice stored at 20$\^{C}$ for 72 hours. It conducted a moisture content, color value, texture and RVA(Rapid Visco Analyser) viscosity on stored cooked rice. Moisture contents of all groups ecreased during storage and that of cooked rice with NaCl were significantly lower than that of other groups. In color, lightness(L) of cooked rice with various additives seemed higher than that of control group and reduced b value of cooked rice with acetic acid showed that the color became less yellow. In texture, the hardness of cooked rice with NaCl and sucrose was higher than that of control group, whereas that of cooked rice with acetic acid was similar to that of control group. Adhesiveness of cooked rice with acetic acid was higher than that of other groups and it was shown that texture could be improved by the addition of acetic acid. The initial viscosity of cooked rice with acetic acid was markedly higher than that of other groups and finial viscosity was lower than that of other groups. It seemed that addition of acetic acid could retard the retrogradation of stored cooked rice.

This Study was conducted to investigate the processing quality of high-amylose content rice(goami) flour for noodle. The potassium and magnesium contents of rice flour were negatively associated with gross score of noodle making mixed with wheat flour. The high-amylose content of rice flour was closed associated with gel consistency negatively and with hardness of rice noodle positively, Setback viscosity of rice flour measured in a rapid visco-analyser(RVA) was significantly affected by amylose content as well as gel consistency. Also the amylose content decreased, the amylogram pasting temperature and the breakdown ratio increased. The low-amylose content rice(Chucheong) flour showed higher values in solubility. Cooking quality and texture were measured, and sensory evaluation was performed with the noodles prepared. Texture measurement showed that the noodles of composite flour containing 40% goami rice flour were superior to those wheat flour alone. Water binding capacity of the composite flour containing 40% goami rice flour was lower than that of 40% chucheong rice flour. In sensory evaluation, chewiness, overall acceptability of noodle with 40% goami ricer was evaluated as the best.

Purpose: This study investigated the quality characteristics of Jeungpyun prepared with brown rice and sea tangle powder. Methods: The pH, volume, and spreadability of the dough and moisture content, color, texture and sensory evaluation of the Jeungpyun were performed. Results: The results showed that the pH of the dough decreased in all sample groups with the lapse of fermentation time, and ultimately revealed a pH ranging from 4.55-4.65. The spreadability of the dough significantly decreased as the substitute amount of the brown rice flour increased; the sample group with 1% sea tangle powder showed a significantly larger spreadability than the sample group with 2% sea tangle powder (p<0.05). The moisture content in the Jeungpyun showed a significantly lower result as the substitute amount of brown rice flour increased (p<0.05). Lightness (L) was reduced as the substitute amount of brown rice flour increased, and redness (a) and yellowness (b) also appeared to increase. As a result of measuring the texture, the 50% sample group with a high substitute rate of brown rice flour was observed to have high characteristics of hardness, gumminess and chewiness, and was low in cohesiveness. The result of the acceptance test showed that the sample group that substituted 25% brown rice flour and added 1% sea tangle powder was evaluated to have a significantly higher acceptance than the sample group that added 2% sea tangle powder in terms of color, texture and overall acceptance. Conclusion: The result of the acceptance test showed that the sample group that substituted 25% of brown rice flour and added 1% of sea tangle powder showed higher tendency in all acceptance attributes than the sample group that did not substitute the brown rice flour to show the possibility of developing the Jeungpyun with brown rice.
