In this study we examined the changes in weight and dimension, protein and amylose contents, and pasting properties of brown rice flour, as well as the gelatinization properties of starch, from two non-waxy japonica cultivars and one waxy japonica cultivar planted in an experimental field in 2002 under the same fertilizer conditions. The weight of both rough and brown rice increased consistently up to 42 days after flowering (DAF) for the non-waxy rice and to 35 DAF for the waxy rice. The changes in dimension of the brown rice kernel indicated that the length was maximized first, followed by breadth and then thickness. The protein content of the non-waxy rice remained fairly constant, but that of the waxy rice decreased by about 1% after 14 DAF. The amylose content of the non-waxy brown rice flour increased, but that of the waxy brown rice flour decreased during kernel development. As the kernel developed, the peak viscosity of the non-waxy rice flour increased up to 35 DAF, after which it decreased, whereas that of the waxy brown rice flour increased consistently. The gelatinization temperature of starch also increased in the waxy rice during kernel development up to 21 DAF. The gelatinization enthalpy of starch, however, increased in all rice cultivars throughout the kernel development.

This study was performed to investigate the effect of germinated Ilpum rough rice extract on blood glucose in C57BL/KsJ-db/db mice. The mice were divided into several groups: normal control (NC), diabetic control (DC), those fed with 0.25% germinated Ilpum rough rice extract (DM-0.25%GIRRE), those fed with 0.5% germinated Ilpum roughrice extract (DM-0.5%GIRRE) and those fed with 1% germinated Ilpum rough rice extract (DM-1%GIRRE). After 8 weeks of treatment, body weight, water intake, and diet intake of the DM-1%GIRRE group were significantly lower than the other DM groups. Blood glucose levels of the DM-1%GIRRE group were significantly lower compared to the DC group. Fasting blood glucose HbA1c level and total glucose tolerance test were significantly lower in the DM-1%GIRRE groups compared to the DC group. There was no significant difference in serum insulin level among each group. Therefore, the results of this study demonstrate that germinated Ilpum rough rice extract alleviates many of the symptoms of diabetes in genetically obese mice and may offer a possibility as a therapeutic supplement for the normalization of blood glucose levels in humans with hyperglycemia. It may also have beneficial effects in patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus.

A drying model to predict the drying process in continuous dryer was developed and proved by drying experiments. The experiment showed that the difference of moisture contents between the predicted and the observed was within 0.5%(wb). There was no cracked rice found even in high drying rate with the inlet moisture content over 23%(wb), and tempering treatment in the same temperature reduced the ratio of cracked rice. There was a little difference in the ratio of cracked rice between 40$^{\circ}C$ and 45$^{\circ}C$ drying temperatures with the final drying moisture content (14.5% wb), and the cracked rice increased at 55$^{\circ}C$. As a results, it was better to make fast drying on the rice over 23%(wb) inlet content it was recommended to keep drying at 45$^{\circ}C$.

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of 70% ethanol and water extract of Korean rough rice ('Ilpum', 'Goami2', 'Keunnun', 'Sulgaeng', 'Baegjinju', and 'Heugkwang') before and after germination on proliferation of human cancer cell lines (HepG2, PC-3, and MCF-7). Antiproliferation effect was higher in ethanol extract than water extract, and was higher in after germination. 'Ilpum' ethanol extract after germination showed higher anti-proliferation effect on HepG2 and PC-3 cell lines than before germination. The cell viability on HepG2 and PC-3 cell lines of 'Ilpum' ethanol extract after germination was 27.23% and 5.05% at 1.0 mg/mL, respectively. The anti-proliferation effect on MCF-7 was the highest in 'Ilpum' and 'Heugkwang' 70% ethanol extract after germination and those cell viabilities were 7.27% and 17.00% at 0.5 mg/mL, respectively. These results suggest that germinated rough rice might have a potentially preventive effect on human cancer cells.

A newly devised dryer with heated air for the farm products, especially suited for high water content materials such as red pepper, Beer ground, each Vegetables, and Low water content materials such as Rough rice was tested for its thermal efficiency and drying mechanism, and the optimum conditions for each sample were established. In order to improve the present rural situation of drying farm products which entirely dependent upon natural solar radiation, a study upon an economic multi-parpose dryer was conducted. A series of drying tests were run first with red pepper which is one of the important cash crop in Korean farm. And successive series of tests were also run with such proaucts as garlic, sweet potatoes, green onion, radish, Beer ground and Rough rice. The results from the above experiment in drying system with heat dryer can be summarized as follows. 1. Drying duration could be shortened by the tempering effect in high water content crop such as red pepper and beer ground. 2. The color changes occured in around 20% water content in red pepper. The degree of color change was heavily affected by high temperature and short drying duration. 3. The drying condition of red pepper was most favourable at the temperature of 85$^{\circ}C$ in early stage and 80$^{\circ}C$ in middle stage and 75$^{\circ}C$ at the final stage, and with the air rate of 0.81㎥/sec and with sample amount of 200kg. 4. The drying condition of Rough rice(I.R.667) was most favourable at the templature of 40$^{\circ}C$ in early stage and 35$^{\circ}C$ in middle stage and final stage and with the air rate of 0.2㎥/sec and with sample amount of 75kg. 5. In order to prevent the color change of red pepper and to assure high efficiency in drying mechanism, it was necessary to lower the temperature as the time passes in drying process. 6. For vege tables, the drying rate were short in early stage and there was also tempering effect. However, for garlics, Constant drying rates through the early and final stages were observed and there were no tempering effects. 7. The drying condition or capability were as follows; Sample drying temp($^{\circ}C$) amount of material(kg) drying time(hr) Red pepper 85 200 9 Garlic 85 150 7 Sweet potato 85 200 6 Green Onion 85 200 4 Carrot 85 200 4 Radish 90 250 4 Rough rice(I.R.667) 35 75 4 Beer ground 90 320 3 Considering the above result of experiments, if this kind of dryers were distributed Korean farm and the optimun process were practiced in rural area, it would certainly help them improving the qualites of their product preventing their undue losses, and thus assuring an increase of Korean farm income and promotion of their living standards.

Simulation model of natural air grain drying was discussed and modified to predict the changes of grain moisture content and dry matter loss of rough rice drying. The modified simulation model was then validated using actual test data. A series of simulated drying tests using official weather data for 15 years from Beaumont, Texas, was taken to make minimum airflow rate and maximum bed depth of rough rice drying by natural air, under different conditions of initial moisture content of rough rice, airflow rate and harvest date.

This study was performed to evaluate changes in the chemical composition of germinated rough rice with high hydrostatic pressure treatment (HPT). Rough rice was germinated at $37^{\circ}C$ over 6 days (control), and then subjected to HPT at 30 MPa for 24 h. The highest crude protein content was 9.54% in the control sample after 6 days of germination. Crude lipid content increased from 2.04-2.74% (control) to 2.27-3.10% (HPT). HPT samples showed higher values of total free sugar and glucose content than those of the control. The total amino acid value was not significant, but the essential amino acid content increased from 0.45-5.09 mg/g in the control to 1.57-5.30 mg/g in the HPT sample. The major fatty acids were found to be palmitic, oleic, and linoleic acid. The content of oleic acid decreases with HPT, whereas that of linoleic and linolenic acid increased slightly during the initial stages of germination. These results suggest that HPT after germination efficiently depolymerizes chemical components and enhances the content of essential nutrients.

This study was performed to investigate the quality characteristics of Yakpyun with added brown rice. The Yakpyun was prepared with polished rice, brown rice, Jujube paste, Makkolli, sugar and salt. The Yakpyun was made with various levels (0, 20, 40, 60 or 80%) of added brown rice. After making the Yakpyun, it was examined for the effect of adding brown rice on quality characteristics using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), a mechanical test, and a sensory evaluation. The moisture contents of Yakpyun tended to decrease with increasing amounts of added brown rice, but no significant differences were observed. As the content of brown rice increased, the lightness (L) decreased and redness (a) and yellowness (b) increased. In a texture profile analysis, hardness decreased with increasing brown rice content from the moment of production to 3 days of storage. When more brown rice was added, rough surfaces were found more often under SEM, and large holes were evident between granules. The results of the sensory evaluation showed that overall acceptability was the highest for Yakpyun containing 40% added brown rice.

Typhoon "MAEMI", happened in September 2003, hit the great damage to Gyeongnam province area. Especially, rice plant was lodged or severe leaf damage was caused. This study was conducted to find out the extents of leaf damage among different rice cultivars, and to evaluate rice yield and eating quality due to leaf damage after typhoon. Rice cultivars torn off over half of the flag leaf length (FLL) were one medium-late maturing cultivar (Donginl), medium maturing cultivar (Yeonganbyeo), eight early maturing cultivars (Samcheonbyeo, Jounghwnbyeo, Munjangbyeo, Taebongbyeo, Odaebyeo, Samhaegbyeo, Sobaegbyeo, Sinunbongbyeo), two long-il type cultivars (Samgangbyeo, Namcheonbyeo), and three special use cultivars (Heukseonchalbyeo, Jinbuchalbyeo, Yangjobyeo). Cultivars torn off below 1/10 FLL were eight medium-late maturing cultivars (Chucheongbyeo, Daecheongbyeo, Saechu cheongbyeo, Donganbyeo, Daeyabyeo, Hwamyeongbyeo, 방eongsanbyeo, Dongjinbyeo) and two medium maturing cultivays (Donghaebyeo, Gumobyeo2). The rest cultivars were tore off by 1/10∼1/2 ELL. In yield components, the longer was flag leaf damage, the lower was ripened grain ratio, grain weight and brown/rough rice ratio, which was severly impacted to late than to ordinary season cultivation. However, rice yield did not decrease up to tearing by 1/10 ELL. Head rice ratio decreased from flag leaf tearing over 1/10 ELL in late season cultivation. The longer was flag leaf damage, the lower was eating quality, which could not show significantly different.

The uses of the polypropylene bulk bags having the loading capacities more than 500 kg are increasing in Korea recently as a storage container for rough rice. This study was performed to obtain the basic information on the changes of temperature and relative humidity in the bulk-bag-stored high moisture rough rice during waiting for drying. At the moisture content more than 22% on wet weight basis of paddy, the bulk-bag inside temperature rose up to more than $40^{\circ}C$ and then slid down during storage. For example, in case of Hwaseongbyeo, 26.5% moisture content of rough rice (MCRR) harvested at 46 days after heading (DAH) showed $54.5^{\circ}C$ of peak temperature at 66.8 hours after bulk-bag loading, 22.5% MCRR harvested at 52 DAH exhibited $42.0^{\circ}C$ at 81.1 hours, and 19.7% MCRR harvested at 55 DAH displayed $38.9^{\circ}C$ at 119.0 hours. There were a good linear relationship between peak temperatures of bulk-bag inside and moisture contents of paddy ($r^2$=0.89 in 2005, and 0.87 in 2006), while the slope and intercept of the linear regression equation was affected by the environmental conditions such as ambient temperatures and microbial flora. The peak temperatures increased with the rate of about $2.74-3.33^{\circ}C$ per every 1% increase of moisture content at higher moisture contents of paddy than 19%. The relative humidity varied depending on bulk-bag inside temperature and rough rice moisture content, and showed the range of 94.2% to 99.9% in the central point of the bulk-bag. The results suggested that a rapid drying treatment as soon as possible was needed to produce a good quality of rice when the paddy of high moisture more than 22% on wet basis was harvested in a bulk-bag especially at high ambient temperature.
