In order to study the effect of gamma-ray on the storage stability and quality of polished wheat, the grain was irradiated at $50{\sim}1000$ krad levels and quality assessment was made for three-month storage period. The results are summarized as follows: 1) Growth of molds was apparent at equilibrium moisture content above 14.8% of the grain, but their growth was retarded at 250 krad level. 2) Irradiation at 250 krad level had no adverse effect on fat acidity, reducing sugar content and color of the grain. 3) Irradiation of the grain caused the increase of degree of gelatinization and the decrease of viscosity. 4) Irradiation at 250 krad level brought about higher digestibility of the grain but had no effect on the rate of retrogradation.

Jangsu, a Korean ancient non-alcoholic beverage made by lactic acid fermentation of cooked rice, was prepared and the microbial characteristics were investigated. The periodic removal of fermented product and the addition of newly made cooked rice and cold water as new substrate enhanced the growth of lactic acid forming bacteria but supressed the growth of proteolytic bacteria. The important microorganisms in jangsu were Lactobacillus, Lactococcus, Pediococccus and Leuconostoc species. Lactococcus thermophilus, Lactobacillus coryniformis and Leuconostoc mesenteroides were identified. The isolated strains were cultivated and used as starter culture of jangsu. Some useful strains were selected which were able to produce acceptable flavor and sufficient amount of acid lowering the pH to near 4.0.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between physicochemical properties and optimum amount of added water for cooking in the preparation of Korean cooked rice (bab). Seven different kinds of rice samples were tested for their chemical and physical properties in relation to the eating quality after cooking with various amounts of water added. The amylose content and water content of rice did not show significant correlation with the amount of added water for optimum cooking. The width of rice kernel, expansion ratio, amylogram maximum viscosity showed significant correlation with the optimum ratio of added water for cooking.

The changes of volatile components of cooked rice during storage at $70^{\circ}C$ for 5 hr were investigated. Among more than 100 volatile components of fresh cooked rice, the predominant one was hexanal followed by nonanal, acetone, pentanal, butanal, heptanal, octanal and toluene. These eight components comprised about 55% of the total volatile, which was decreased by half after one hour storage. The amount of major volatile components in Tongil type rice was higher than Japonica rice, but the decrease of volatiles during storage was faster in the former.

Hardness and adhessiveness of cooked rice were measured with rice grain and rice block methods by texturemeter. In grain method 3, 4 and 5 grains were arranged and subjected to the texture test with a plastic plunger at 95% strain and 0.5mm/sec speed. The hardness were 7.4kg, 7.5kg and 10.0kg respectively and the coefficient of variation ranged from 37.0% to 25.9%, which was mainly due to the irregular geometry of the grains in each specimen set Adhesiveness could not be measured with this method. A cylindrical rice block($H/D=20mm{\times}15mm$) was made for the texture analysis. The hardness was 2.1 kg with coefficient of variation ranging from 2.8 to 7.0%, and the block method was s more reproducible compared to the grain method. A grooved plastic plunger and platform were designed for the measurement of adhesiveness of cooked rice block. The adhesiveness was 0.68kg sec and the coefficient of the variation was 4.6%.

The relationship between rice and the fluid during cooking was investigated to examine the factors affecting the quality of cooked rice and a new rice cooking method was proposed to improve the unpalatability of aged Milyang 23-long grain rice variety. The changes of heights of rice-bed and the fluid during cooking were measured with a laboratory cooking apparatus made of flat bottomed graduated glass cylinder. Around the boiling, a sudden disappearance of the fluid was observed and then thin film was formed on the rice grains. This film coating was fortified by the addition of 1-2%(w/w) of glutinous rice powder as a film forming agent. The artificial coating on the cooked rice of low quality remarkably improved the gloss, moisture content and shape and the extent of leaching of rice solid into the fluid was reduced with the treatment.

To investigate the effect of cooking form of rice and barley on postprandial serum glucose and insulin response in normal subject, five test carbohydrates calculated to contain 50g of glucose were consumed. Oral ingestions were divided into 5 group, i. e. dextrose(control), ground white rice, ground barley, whole white rice, whole barley, Postprandial glucose and insulin responses were measured over 3hr and showed the following pattern. Dextrose and ground white rice elicited similar postprandial serum glucose and insulin responses whereas ground barley and whole white rice intemediate, whole barley gave the lowest responses in the test group. The ground form of rice and barley were significantly higher responses than the unground form of those as well as whole white rice were higher responses whole barley, The results suggested that the cooking form of rice and barley was an important determinant of the postprandial metabolic responses.

The purpose of this study was to assess the optimum coating ratio for rice, using various ratios of mulberry leaves extract, 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0%, and to determine the optimum ratio of added water, in proportion to the total weight of mulberry rice. The moisture content of the soaked rice, and the optimum water uptake rate, moisture content of the cooked rice, as well as its blue and color values, mechanical characteristics, internal structure and sensory evaluation, were analyzed. The statistical data analyses were completed using the SAS program. The results are summarized as follows: The moisture content of mulberry rice was less than that of raw rice. The average optimum water uptake of the soaked mulberry rice at the different water temperatures, 10, 20 and 30, was 20% of the total weight of the raw mulberry rice. As for the results of the sensory evaluation,; 140% water, in proportion to the total weight of raw mulberry rice, was judged to be the optimum. The average moisture content of the cooked mulberry rice was 45∼50%, but there was no significant difference in the various coating ratios. The blue value of the cooked mulberry rice awas highest on the first day of cooking. The L- and a-values decreased with increasing coating ratio, but the b-value increased under the same conditions. As for the mechanical characteristics,; the adhesiveness, hardness and springiness decreased during 2 days of storage. The internal structure of the mulberry rice, observed by SEM, showed a close structure on increasing the coating ratios of mulberry leaves extracts. It was concluded that the optimum coating ratio of mulberry rice and ratio of added water for cooking wereas 1.5 and 140%, respectively, in proportion to the total weight of raw mulberry rice.

This study aims to analyze the sensory characteristic of cooked rice made with 10 types of rice varieties produced in South Korea using descriptive analysis. Twelve subjects who cook rice regularly, at least once a week, were recruited for the study and participated as descriptive panelists. A total of 29 descriptive terms were developed to describe the sensory characteristics of cooked rice. The findings showed that there were significant differences in the sensory attributes, specifically the appearance and texture attributes among the rice varieties. Among the varieties, Haedeul, Ilpum, and Koshihikari were observed to have a large quantity of rice germ and a relatively yellowish appearance. In contrast, Samkwang, Chamdream, and Yeonghojinmi were relatively whiter than the other samples. Odae, Saecheongmoo, and Sindongjin were rated high in the attributes of roughness, hardness, and chewiness, and Jinsang was rated high in moisture, bitterness, stickiness, and wholeness of rice grains. The differences in the appearance and texture of these rice varieties are likely to significantly impact consumer preferences. Furthermore, the development of customized menus based on the sensory characteristics of the different varieties of rice could encourage consumers to purchase these varieties.
