This study was to investigate the effects of concentration of malt extract in Sikhye manufacture on saccharification time, shapes of saccharified rice(the cooked rice) and sensory evaluation score of Sikhye. The optimum concentration of malt extract to reduce saccharification time and to keep desirable shapes of saccharified rice was 4 times (rice 24g, malt 28g and D.W. 240ml) as suitable as base composition formula(rice 6g, malt 7g and D.W. 240ml). The shapes of saccharified rice were influenced by the concentration of malt extract, the saccharification time and the shapes of steamed rice before saccharification. A good taste(softness) of Sikhye rice and the desirable shapes of saccharified rice were more suitable in the case of a small amount of unsaccharified starch than in the case of finishing saccharification. The optimum saccharification time to keep the desirable shapes of saccharified rice was 240min and also was desirable between 210 and 270min. To keep a good taste(softness) and the desirable shapes of saccharified rice, and to reduce the manufacturing time, it is desirable to in mass production of Sikhye add 3 times more water after making Sikhye in the ratio of rice 24g, malt 28g and water 240ml. In this case the whole amount will become 4 times as much as the original one.

Kochujang was prepared by using retrograded rice cakes (Song Pyun, Sym rice cake, Ssuk rice cake, Pat rice cake) as a source starch and the physiochemical and sensory characteristics were compared with traditional kochujang during aging for 60 days. Moisture content of all kochujang groups increased slowly but crude fat content decreased according to aging process. Changes of pH values of all kochujang reduced gradually during aging and the pH of saccharified kochujang was lowered than that of traditional one. Total reducing sugar contents in saccharified kochujang reached the maximum value at 50th day, and decreased thereafter. In contrast, the reducing sugar content in traditional kochujang was the highest at 30-day-aging. After 60 days of aging, the total contents of organic acids were 28.57 mg for P$\_$1/, 27.9 mg for P$\_$4/, 27.05 mg for P$\_$3/ 24.60 mg for P$\_$2/, and 22.30 mg for P$\_$0/. By sensory evaluation, saccharified kochujang prepared with Siru rice cake showed the highest sensory score in its appearance, flavor, texture, color, and taste.

This study was intended to develop a new rice product by the fermentation of saccharified rice solution using Bifidobacterium and to select an appropriate reducing agent to provide the anaerobic condition for the growth of Bifidobacterium during fermentation. The enhancement of the growth of Bifidobacterium in saccharified rice solution was achieved by the treatment of reducing agents such as ascorbic acid and cysteine. The physical and chemical properties of the fermented product were evaluated, and the effect of the reducing agents were compared between ascorbic acid and cysteine. The fermented product with the addition of ascorbic acid shows the lower pH and the higher titratable acidity comparing the product with the addition of cysteine. This indicated that ascorbic acid was more appropriate reducing agent than cysteine for the fermentation of the saccharified rice solution. The number of viable Bifidobacterium in the fermented product with the addition of ascorbic acid(2.2$\times$108~3.4$\times$108CFU/ml) was greater than that with the addition of cysteine (8$\times$107~2.8$\times$108CFU/ml). Ascorbic acid supplement also contributed better sensory properties, such as flavor, taste and overall acceptibility than cysteine supplement did.

This study was carried out to establish the optimal conditions for curd yogurt using saccharified rice solution. A central composite design was applied to investigate the effects of pectin (2.8~8.4 g), skim milk (14~70 g) and oligosaccharide (28~84 g) ratio on the physicochemical and sensory characteristics of curd yogurt using saccharified rice solution. pH, total acidity, and color value, were analyzed and sensory evaluation was performed. The pH of curd yogurt decreased with decreasing pectin and oligosaccharide ratio. The addition of pectin had a significant effect on the viscosity while skim milk had a significant effect on the color value (a and b value). The results of sensory evaluation showed that, oligosaccharide and skim milk had significant effects on sweetness and sour taste. Oligosaccharide and skim milk masked the sour taste of curd yogurt. The optimum range of ingredients for curd yogurt using saccharified rice solution was predicted to be 4.27~4.90 g of pectin, 30.80~41.30 g of skim milk, and 28.00~36.10 g of oligosaccharide. Based on the overlapped results of physicochemical and sensory evaluation, the optimal amounts of pectin, skim milk and oligosaccharide were 4.59 g, 36.50 g and 32.05 g, respectively.

A saccharified-rice was fermented using Leuconostoc(Ln.) mesenteroides KC51 strain in various dry matter (DM) contents (4%, 8%, and 12%) at $30^{\circ}C$ for 18 h. The changes of viable cell number, acid production and phytate degradation in saccharified-rice during fermentation were investigated. The viable cell population of Ln. mesenteroides KC51 was increased rapidly in proportion to DM contents during the 9 h of cultivation. The changes of pH and titratable acidity in saccharified-rice were dependent on DM contents. At high DM content (12%), the viable cell number of Ln. mesenteroides KC51 increased to 9.56 log CFU/g after 6 h of fermentation. The pH and titratable acidity reached to pH 3.38 and 0.93% after 18 h of fermentation, respectively. The phytate, known as an antinutrient factor, in saccharified-rice was degraded by Ln. mesenteroides KC51 cultivation. The decrease of phytate during fermentation approximately coincided with the increase of Ln. mesenteroides KC51 population observed in fermented saccharified-rice. Regardless of DM contents, the levels of phytate were reduced to around 50% of initial concentration.

This study was conducted to investigate the physicochemical characteristics and sensory qualities of saccharified cherry tomato gruel with different ratios of cherry tomato by rice mash. Saccharified cherry tomato gruel containing 0, 15, 30 and 45% cherry tomato puree was prepared and proximate compositions, sweetness, pH, acidity, color, texture, free sugar and sensory analysis of the samples were measured. With increasing cherry tomato puree content, proximate compositions, sweetness and acidity of cherry tomato gruel increased, and pH decreased significantly p<0.05). Saccharified cherry tomato gruel prepared with 15-45% cherry tomato puree displayed significantly lower viscosity. As the level of cherry tomato puree increased, L-value decreased, whereas the a-value and b value increased. Free sugar contents of fructose and glucose contents increased while maltose content decreased. Free sugar content of cherry tomato rice gruel was ranged of 1.44-2.12, 0.53-1.66 and 0.49-0.86 respectively. Cherry tomato rice gruel with 30% added cherry tomato puree was the most preferred for color, flavor, taste, mouth feeling, texture, overall acceptability preference. From these results, we found that adding 30% cherry tomato puree was the best to make gruel with high sensory quality.

In this study, kombucha was prepared using saccharified rice solution to assess this possible means of increasing rice consumption. Chucheong rice yielded the highest starch content (80.40±1.33%) when used to produce saccharified rice solution. The resultant saccharified rice solution showed the highest 10.42 °Brix at 90 min of saccharification. Chamdream rice yielded the highest acidity at 0.38%, and Kawaji No.1 yielded the lowest at 0.24%. Organic acid analysis on the 15th day of fermenting kombucha made with different rice varieties indicated an acetic acid content of 111.70±1.09 ppm in Chamdream, and 46.86±1.00 ppm in Dongjinchal. Comparison of enzymes used in saccharified rice kombucha fermentation revealed that α-amylase resulted in the highest acidity (1.06%), and β-amylase yielded the lowest acidity (0.58%). Kombucha with green tea yielded the highest acidity (1.09%), and kombucha with rooibos tea yielded the lowest (0.37%). Polyphenol analysis indicated that the amount of polyphenol increased the most (1,623.75 ppm to 3,989.00 ppm) on day 0 of fermentation with green tea. Organic acid analysis revealed that the acetic acid content of kombucha supplemented with green tea increased from 172.89 ppm on day 0 of fermentation to 2,649.11 ppm on day 15. Kombucha with 2.0% added alcohol had the highest acidity (1.32%), and kombucha with 0.5% alcohol had the lowest (0.97%). Taken together, these results confirm that it is possible to make kombucha using saccharified rice solutions.
