Monoacylglycerol (MG) and diacylglycerol (DG), as the components of enzymatically synthesized functional oil, were produced by glycerolysis of rice bran oil and glycerol using IM60 (immobilized lipase) in a stirredbatch reactor at 6$0^{\circ}C$ for 72 hours. After glycerolysis, the contents of triacylglycerol (TG), DG and MG in the produced functional oil were 41.71%,46.19%, and 11.15%, respectively. The functional oil also contained Phytosterols (2.04$\pm$0.17 mg/g), ${\gamma}$ -oryzanol (1.06$\pm$0.04 mg/g) and $\alpha$ -tocopherol (0.13$\pm$0.04 mg/g). In animal experiment the dietary effects of functional oil on hepatic acyl-CoA:cholesterol acyltransferase (ACAT) activities of the high cholesterol and high fat (HCHF)-fed mice were investigated. In functional oil-fed group, the liver ACAT activity was significantly lowered than in HCHF and corn oil-fed groups (p < 0.05). This results suggested that the synthesized functional oil may have an atheroproteetive effect by inhibiting ACAT activity.

Rice is a staple food for more than 50% of the world's population. Embryo comprises only 2 to 3% of the weight distribution of the entire pericarp but has higher concentration of vitamins, proteins, and essential fatty acids than the other parts of grains. Moreover, ${\alpha}$-tocoperol, ${\gamma}$-oryzanol, phytic acid and ${\gamma}$-aminobutric acid that have nutraceutical value are abundant. Increasing the volume of embryo assures the fortification of nutritional value of rice grain. We developed new black waxy giant embryo rice, Milyang 263 by crossing Josaengheugchal, a black waxy rice variety, and $ge^t$, a giant embryo mutant generated by tissue culture. The nutrient contents and physical properties of Milyang 263 were compared with several giant embryo mutants and normal embryo rice varieties. Changes in the nutrient properties after germination were also observed. Results indicated that this new black waxy giant embryo rice, Milyang 263, offers a promising source for improving nutritional quality of rice especially anthocyanin, essential minerals, and GABA.

Purple rice is a strain of glutaneous rice rich in anthocyanins and ${\gamma}$-oryzanol. Both types of compounds are involved in antioxidant and lipid metabolism of mammals. Three experimental diet types were used which consisted approximately by half either of purple rice, white rice or corn. Diets were fed to $3{\times}10$ pigs growing from about 30 to 100 kg. Meat samples were investigated either as raw or cured loin chops or as smoked bacon produced from the belly. Various physicochemical traits were assessed and data were evaluated by analysis of variance. Traits describing water-holding capacity (drip, thaw, and cooking losses) and tenderness (sensory grading, shear force) of the meat were mostly not significantly affected by the diet type. However, purple rice feeding of pigs resulted in lower fat and cholesterol contents of loin and smoked bacon compared to white rice, but not compared to corn feeding except of the fat content of the loin. The shelf life of the raw loin chops was improved by purple rice as well. In detail, the occurrence of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances after 9 days of chilled storage was three to four times higher in the white rice and corn diets than with purple rice. The n-6:n-3 ratio in the raw loin chops was 9:1 with purple rice and clearly higher with 12:1 with the other diets, meat lipids. Level and kind of effect of purple rice found in raw meat was not always recovered in the cured loin chops and the smoked bacon. Still the impression of flavor and color, as well as overall acceptability were best in the smoked bacon from the purple-rice fed pigs, whereas this effect did not occur in the cured loin chops. These findings suggest that purple rice has a certain, useful, bioactivity in pigs concerning meat quality, but some of these effects are of low practical relevance. Further studies have to show ways how transiency and low recovery in meat products of some of the effects can be counteracted.

In order to develop a novel food utilization of germinated brown rice, physicochemical properties of germinated brown rice and its extrudates were investigated. The physical characteristics, the paste viscosity, and the anti-oxidation activity were analyzed. Brown rice was soaked for 10 hr and germinated for 24 and 48 hr at $30^{\circ}C$. Extrusion conditions of brown rice and germinated brown rice were barrel temperature at 100 and $120^{\circ}C$ and moisture content at 20%. The expansion ratio increased with the increase in germination time. It increased at barrel temperature of $100^{\circ}C$, and decreased at $120^{\circ}C$. The bulk density showed negative corporations with the expansion ratio. The paste viscosity of germinated brown rice was decreased with the increase in the germination time. However the paste viscosity of extrudates was lower as barrel temperature increased. Content of polyphenolic compound in extrudates was increased by increasing germination time and barrel temperature.
