The quality characteristics, total phenolic content, anthocyanin content, and DPPH radical scavenging activity of rice nutritional bar with added powder of aronia byproducts were investigated in this study. The rice nutritional bar was prepared by adding aronia byproducts powder at concentrations of 0%, 2%, 4%, and 6%. The pH of the rice nutritional bar batter was lowered for the control and 2% aronia byproducts powder was added. The moisture content, baking loss rate, leavening rate and specific volume of the rice nutritional bar decreased with as the aronia byproducts powder content increased. In relation to measurements of the colors of the rice nutritional bar crust and crumbs, as the content of aronia byproducts powder increased, the L and b values decreased while the a value increased. From texture analysis, the hardness and chewiness increased according to the level of added aronia byproducts powder, but the springiness and cohesiveness decreased. The total phenolic content, anthocyanin content, and DPPH radical scavenging activity showed the highest values in the rice bar with 6% aronia byproducts powder added. According to a sensory evaluation, overall preference was highest for the rice bar with 4% added aronia byproducts powder, whereas the color and taste was rated higher for the rice bar added with 4% and 6% aronia byproducts powder.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the quality characteristics of rice nutritional bars prepared by adding Chinese artichoke (CA) powder to the rice powder. Methods: CA rice nutritional bars were prepared with various levels of CA powder (0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20%) and designated as CA0 (without CA powder), CA5, CA10, CA15, and CA20, respectively. The total phenolic content, DPPH free radical scavenging activity, moisture content, pH, baking loss rate, leavening rate, volume, color, texture analysis, and sensory evaluations of rice nutritional bars were performed. Results: The total phenolic content and DPPH free radical scavenging activity exhibited an increase with increase in the substitute amount of CA powder. The results showed that the pH of rice nutritional bars decreased in all sample groups as the content of CA powder increased. The volume of the sample group with CA powder was higher than that of CA0. As the content of CA powder increased, lightness of the rice nutritional bars crumbs decreased while redness and yellowness increased. The texture analysis of rice nutritional bars showed that hardness, gumminess, and chewiness were the highest in CA0 while springiness and cohesiveness were the lowest in CA0. With respect to characteristic intensity rating, the taste, flavor, and softness of rice nutritional bars increased with increasing amounts of CA powder. In terms of consumer acceptability, CA15 and CA20 received the highest scores with respect to texture. Conclusion: Therefore, the results of this study indicate that replacing 15% of the rice powder with CA led to an efficient enhancement in the antioxidant and nutritional values of rice nutritional bars as well as the sensory quality.

Purpose: This study was conducted to investigate the effect of cabbage powder on the quality characteristics of rice nutritional bars. Methods: In order to analyze quality characteristics, total phenolic content, DPPH free radical scavenging activity, baking loss rate, leavening rate, specific volume, moisture content, color, texture analysis, and sensory evaluations were assessed. Results: The total phenolic content and DPPH free radical scavenging activity of rice nutritional bars significantly increased with an increase in the content of cabbage powder (p<0.05). The baking loss rate, leavening rate, specific volume, and moisture content of the rice nutritional bars were significantly reduced as the amount of added cabbage powder increased (p<0.05). As the concentration of cabbage powder increased, the lightness and redness of the bars' crust and crumbs decreased, while yellowness increased (p<0.05). In texture analysis, the control bars showed the highest hardness values. Adhesiveness, springiness, and cohesiveness values slightly decreased with higher cabbage powder content in the groups with added cabbage powder (p<0.05). When consumer acceptability was measured, rice nutritional bars prepared with 15% cabbage powder showed the highest scores in color, whereas the rice nutritional bars prepared with 20% cabbage powder showed the lowest scores in flavor (p<0.05). In characteristic intensity rating, the taste and off-flavor of rice nutritional bars significantly increased with increasing amounts of cabbage powder (p<0.05). Conclusion: Judging from our results, it can be concluded that the addition of cabbage powder to rice nutritional bars during processing can enhance consumer preference for the bars, total phenolic content, and DPPH free radical scavenging activity.

The nutritional composition of transgenic rice (Agb0101) with bar and modified cry1Ac1 genes grown with herbicides was compared with that of its non-transgenic counterpart. The analyzed components (proximates, amino acids, fatty acids, minerals, vitamins, trypsin inhibitors, and phytic acid) in the herbicide-treated Agb0101 brown rice were substantially equivalent to those of its non-transgenic counterpart.

Genetic engineering is being used to enhance disease resistance and nutritional value of crops including rice plant. Considering the fast-growing agricultural biotechnology and rapidly increasing global area of transgenic crops, the risk evaluation on environment is necessary. In this study, we surveyed the difference of disease occurrence between transgenic rice variety, Iksan526 transformed with peanut stilbene synthase gene and non-transgenic rice varieties, Dongjin and Nampyeong in the field. Moreover, the possibility of gene transfer from transgenic rice to bacterial and fungal pathogens was investigated. The results of this study indicated that there was no significant difference in the occurrence and severity of the diseases between Iksan526 and Dongjin or Nampyeong. In addition, the results suggested that rice pathogen, such as Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae, Rhizoctonia solani and Magnaporthe grisea did not take up stilbene synthase and bar genes under natural conditions. Moreover the transformed DNA was not transferred to the pathogens even in repetitive contacts.
