Changes in Quality Characteristics of Brown Rice During Storage

저장중 현미의 품질 특성 변화

The quality changes of brown rice during storage were determined by the method of quantitative analysis of n-hexanal, amylogram, texture and volume expansion. The qualities of stored brown rice were also analyzed with sensory evaluation of cooked milled rice obtained from brown rice, n-Hexanal content, peak viscosity and total setback of brown rice flour pastes increased substantially with the increased of storage period at 35$^{\circ}C$. Up to 10 months of storage at 35$^{\circ}C$, stale flavor obtained by a sensory method markedly increased, but stickiness decreased. The scores of overall preference were in good agreement with those of stale flavor (r=-0.98) and sticky texture (r=0.98). The correlation coefficient between stale flavor obtained by a sensory method and instrumetal analysis for stored brown rice was r=0.97.
