Digestion properties of 3 types of cereals, white rice, brown rice, and barley, were measured after cooking or grinding. Regardless of the processing methods, white rice showed the highest rate and the greatest extent of digestion, whereas barley showed the lowest values. During the early digestion period, cooked white rice kernels had a larger k (kinetic constant) value than uncooked white rice flour, indicating that cooking induced faster digestion than grinding. In the case of brown rice and barley, the cell wall in cooked kernels remained intact and resulted in a lower k values than those of uncooked flour. However, after 3 hr of digestion, the total digestion extent was greater for the cooked brown rice and barley than that for uncooked flours. The high content of slowly digestible starch (SDS) in cooked brown rice and barley might be due to the starch fraction which was protected by the cell wall. The resistant starch (RS) content, however, was greater for the uncooked flours than that for cooked kernels. The cooked kernels of 3 cereal samples tested showed higher glycemic index (GI) values than the uncooked flours.

The Takju brewing of raw rice starch was carried out by the simultaneous saccharification- fermentation using Rhizopus sp. koji and yeast, and compared with the Takju mash brewed by the conventional method. Rhitopus koji was prepared with uncooked rice for Takju brewing without cooking of rice starch. Alcohol concentration of Takju mash brewed with uncooked rice was slightly higher of 1.8% than that with cooked one. Amino acid contents was almost double and fuse1 oil contents was lower in uncooked brewing. The Takju mash prepared after fermentation without cooking of rice had a characteristic odor of raw material and a good quality of taste.

We analyzed the ${\gamma}$-aminobutyric acid (GABA) content of a selection of uncooked foods. Foods with GABA concentrations in excess of 100 nmole per g dry weight included: brown rice germ, brown rice sprouts, barley sprouts, bean sprouts, beans, corn, barley, brown rice, spinach, potatoes, sweet potatoes, yams, kale and chestnuts. Cereals included: brown rice germ, brown rice sprouts, barley sprouts, bean sprouts, beans, corn, barley, and brown rice and had GABA concentrations of 718, 389, 326, 302, 250, 199, 190, and 123 nmole per g dry weight (DW), respectively. The vegetables: spinach, potatoes, sweet potatoes, yams and kale contained 414, 166, 137, 129, 122 nmole GABA per g DW, respectively. The GABA concentration of chestnut was 188 nmole per g DW. However, oatmeal, adlay, broccoli, squash, carrots, onion, apples, lentinus edodes, green laver, and lactobacillus had GABA concentrations of less than 100 nmole per g DW. These results show that brown rice germ, sprouted cereals and spinach are good sources of plant-derived GABA. These data will be useful in selecting foods for the manufacturing of uncooked foods containing a relatively high concentrations of GABA.

Uncooked rice Tackju was prepared from the groud rice with different particle size such as 12, 20, 35 and 50 mesh, and its characteristics were analysed during the brewing. Reducing sugar and ethanol contents as well as yeast cell counts were the highest in main mash and Tackju prepared from 20 mesh fraction. Especially, reducing sugar content was about. 1.5-2.5 times as much as that obtained from 35 or 50 mesh fraction. The final concentration of ethanol in main mash prepared from 20 mesh fraction was 14.8%(v/v). It was about 1.5%(v/v) higher than the lowest one [13.35%(v/v)] which was prepared from 12 mesh fraction. No significant difference In total acidity was observed. Sensory evaluation revealed 20 or 35 mesh Tackju to be the best in overall preference, especially in sweet and refreshing tastes.

Takju was manufactured using 150 g Rosa rugosa Thunb. (Haedanghwa) and two different preparations of 3,000 g each of cooked and uncooked rice. Nuruk (150 g) and yeast (60 g) were inoculated into both mixtures for fermentation, and physiochemical changes were investigated during 14 days of fermentation. The final brix value, pH, and ethanol concentration of Haedanghwa (uncooked rice Takju) were $13.0^{\circ}$Bx, 4.3, and 11.8%, respectively, whereas those of Haedanghwa (cooked rice Takju) were $14.0^{\circ}$Bx, 4.6, and 14.4%, respectively. Lactic and acetic acid levels in Haedanghwa (uncooked rice Takju) were significantly higher than those in Haedanghwa (cooked rice Takju) (p<0.05). The level of ${\gamma}$-amino-n-butyric acid in Haedanghwa Takju (uncooked rice) was twice than that of Haedanghwa Takju (cooked rice). Our results demonstrate that the use of uncooked rice in the preparation of Takju may help improve the taste and function of the final product.

This study was carried out to set up alcohol fermentation condition for uncooked brown rice. Response surface methodology(RSM) was applied to optimize and monitor of the alcohol fermentation condition with uncooked brown rice. The optimal yeast strain for fermentation of uncooked brown rice was S. cerevisiae GRJ. The polynomial equation for alcohol contents, brix pH and total acditiy showed 0.8828, 0.8409, 0.9431 and 0.9280 of R$^2$, respectively. Optimum range of uncooked alcohol fermentation for maximum alcohol contents were 0.34%(w/w) of enzyme concentration and 350%(w/w) of added water content, respectively. Predicted values at optimum alcohol fermentation condition agreed with experimental values.

In order to study the quality of uncooked-colored wine by using polished black rice(PBR) and glucoamylase, the mixture ration of PBR ws investigated. The growths of yeast and lactic acid bacteria, pH and alcohol concentration of the colored wine prepared by adding PBR in the range of 20 to 100% were higher than those of polished rice only, whereas the contents of residual sugars, total free amino acids and fusel oil of the colored wine were lower. The colored wine prepared by 20% PBR and that of over 80% PBR showed a light red color and a dark red, respectively. The optimal addition ratios of PBR evaluated by palatability of color and flavor, and sensory overall quality was 40 to 60%.

Ethanol production by the simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) of low-value rice wine cake (RWC) without cooking was investigated. RWC is the filtered solid waste of fermented rice wine mash and contains 53% raw starch. For the SSF, the RWC slurry was mixed with the raw-starch-digesting enzyme of Rhizopus sp. and yeast, where the yeast strain was selected from 300 strains and identified as Saccharomyces cerevisiae KV25. The highest efficiency (94%) of ethanol production was achieved when the uncooked RWC slurry contained 23.03% starch. The optimal SSF conditions were determined as 1.125 units of the raw-starch-digesting enzyme per gram of RWC, a fermentation temperature of $30^{\circ}C$, slurry pH of 4.5, 36-h-old seeding culture, initial yeast cell number of $2{\times}10^7$ per ml of slurry, 17 mM of urea as the nitrogen additive, 0.25 mM of $Cu^{2+}$ as the metal ion additive, and a fermentation time of 90 h. Under these optimal conditions, the ethanol production resulting from the SSF of the uncooked RWC slurry was improved to 16.8% (v/v) from 15.1% (v/v) of pre-optimization.

The quality of emulsion-type sausage manufactured using various amounts of red yeast rice powder (0, 1, 2, 3%) was investigated. Moisture and ash content increased, whereas the protein content decreased, upon increasing the red yeast rice powder content. The pH, lightness, and yellowness values of the uncooked and cooked samples decreased upon increasing the red yeast rice powder content. The redness of the cooked and uncooked samples containing 3% red yeast rice powder was higher than those of others. Cooking loss and emulsion stability of samples decreased upon increasing red yeast rice powder contents. Samples containing 2 and 3% red yeast rice powder showed lower viscosity than others. Sensory evaluation of samples increased with increas in red yeast rice powder content. Thus, red yeast rice powder improved the physicochemical and sensory properties of emulsion-type sausage.

We investigated changes in the physicochemical characteristics and functional components of the Saengsik cereal grains-milled rice, brown rice, glutinous rice, and barley- by washing with electrolyzed water. There were no changes in the composition of all cereal grains that was dried with hot-air and freeze-dried after being washed with electrolyzed water. The L and a values were not affected by drying in milled rice, brown rice, glutinous rice, or barley, but the b value increased in milled rice and glutinous rice-this increase was greater with hot-air drying than with freeze-drying. The dietary fiber content of the all cereals increased with hot-air drying. The niacin content decreased in all cereals; the extent of this change was greater with hot-air drying than with freeze-drying. The ${\beta}-glucan$ content of barley was higher in samples that underwent freeze-drying than in those treated by hot-air drying, but was not affected by washing with electrolyzed water. Thus, other than a change in color for milled and glutinous rice, no changes in the physicochemical characteristics and functional components these products were observed with freeze-drying. Data indicate that the electrolyzed water washing could be effectively used as pasteurization step in the uncooked cereal grains.
