The purpose of this study was to provide the descriptive sensory profiles for cooked rice by various rice cookers, losing descriptive analysis. The rice samples cooked in an electric pressure cooker, and in pressure cooker B, were separated by roasted flavor, sweetness, burnt flavor, cooked rice flavor, moistness, cohesiveness, and chewiness using PCA. The rice cooked in pressure cooker A was harder and rougher, and showed grain wholesomeness, but it still had a cooked and burnt flavor. The rice cooked in a stone cooker and an electric rice cooker was less hard, and showed less grain wholesomeness, but it had a burnt, cooked rice, and less raw rice type of flavor. Finally, the RTE (ready-to-eat) rice showed more grain wholesomeness, and had more raw rice and sour flavor.

This study was carried out to investigate the quality of cooked rice prepared by-an electric pressure cooker (EPC) and an electric cooker (EC) during storage at different temperatures. Four rice cultivars were used (Ilpoom, Saechucheong, Sindongjin, and Sura). The cooked rice samples were stored at room and warm temperatures for 48 hr, and at refrigerator temperatures for 10 days. Immediately after cooking, the moisture content of the EPC rice was lower than that of the EC rice; yet pH was higher for the EPC rice. The L-value of the EPC rice was reduced due to an increasing b-value. The overall acceptability of the EPC rice was high; in particular, it scored high for a roasted nutty flavor and texture. During storage, moisture content and pH decreased regardless of the cooking method. L-, a- and b-values were similar at room and refrigerator temperatures over the entire period, whereas the a-value (greenness) of the EC rice stored at warm temperature slightly decreased and the b-value (yellowness) increased after 24 hr, resulting in a decreasing L- value. Also, sensory characteristics were not significantly different for the samples stored at room temperature for 48 hr; however, at warm and refrigerator temperatures, the sensory characteristics were significantly different after 24 hr and 3 days, respectively. In conclusion, the quality of the cooked rice was effectively preserved during storage at room temperature, and qualify deterioration oaf dependent on using warming equipment as well as the rice cultivar.

The distribution of mesophilic and thermophilic bacteria in milled rice was not different according to growing land and variety of rice. However, The number of these bacteria were abundant in milled rice of lower milling degree or longer storage period. The growth of thermophilic bacteria in cooked rice of electric rice cooker was rapidly increased during storage of lower temperature below 75 $^{\circ}C$. Thermophilic bacteria were not appeared just after cooking. After cooked rice was stored far 18∼24 hon thermophilic bacterial growth was rapidly increased by changing spore to vegetative cell. The positive relation between cell number of thermophilic bacteria and occurrence of off-odor was slightly observed. The number of thermophilic bacteria in upper cooked rice of oven and was higher than those in inner and lower cooked rice. Major volatile compound of milled rice cooked and stored in electric rice cooker was hexanal oriented from rice. After long storage, it was confirmed that furan was major volatile compound as off-odor.

The Physicochemical, sensory and cooking properties of functionally fortified rice with dietary fiber and chitosan were compared with regular rice when the rices were cooked with pressure and electric cookers. Moisture content of functional rice before cooking was 11.11%, which was lower than 13.72% in regular rice. Accordingly, moisture contents of functional rice samples cooked both with pressure and electric cookers were lower than those of regular rice. L value showing the degree of lightness of cooked rice was significantly higher in rice samples cooked with pressure cookers. The ${\alpha}$ value, the degree of redness and the b value, the degree of yellowness, were the highest in the functional rice cooked with an electric rice cookers. Textural measurement of hardness using a rheometer showed the highest value in functional rice cooked with a pressure cooker. The degree of gelatinization measured using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) before cooking showed higher onset gelatinization temperature ($T_0$) and peak gelatinization temperature ($T_p$) in functional rice compared with those in regular rice. The gelatinization enthalpy (${\Delta}H$) of functional rice was lower than that of regular rice, showing that functional foe had lower gelatinization energy compared with regular rice. When the samples were stored in a refrigerator for one week, the DSC showed faster retrogradation degrees in samples cooked with electric rice cooker, having significantly higher enthalpies of regular and functional rice cooked with electric cooked compared to those cooked with pressure cookers. The functional rice samples cooked with pressure cooker had higher consumer acceptance test values compared to those cooked with electric cookers.

The changes of resistant starch (RS) contents of cooked rice with soybean and coconut oils under different storage conditions were investigated and RS contents were compared between the rice and cooker types. The japonica (Hopyeong) and the indica (Thailand) type rice were cooked (washed rice: water = 100: 130) using an electric cooker and a saucepan. The coconut oil and soybean oil (3%, based on rice, w/w) were added into cooking water before heating. The RS contents of freeze-dried cooked rice powders (newly-cooked rice, stored for 12 h in the refrigerator, microwave heating after storage for 12 h in the refrigerator) were measured by the AOAC method. The RS contents of cooked rice using a saucepan were higher than those using an electric cooker. The indica type cooked rice had a higher RS content than the japonica type cooked rice, regardless of storage conditions. However, addition of oil before cooking rice resulted in increased RS content on storage in the refrigerator. The highest RS content of the cooked indica type rice with soybean oil ($5.89{\pm}0.22%$) that was stored for 12 h in the refrigerator was analyzed. The results suggested that the cooked rice formed retrograded (RS3) and amylose-lipid complex (RS5) type RS; furthermore, the RS content is affected by storage conditions, rice, cooker and oil types.

Changes in retrogradation degree of nonwaxy milled rice cooked at different pressure and stored in electric rice cooker at $74^{\circ}C$ were investigated. The moisture contents of nonwaxy milled rice cooked at $1.0{\sim}1.9\;atm\;and\;1.2{\sim}1.5$ water/rice ratio were $59.9{\sim}64.3%$. When nonwaxy milled rice was cooked at high pressure, X-ray diffraction patterns of cooked rice exhibited the V-type having nearly no crystallinity. Retrogradation peak of cooked rice from DSC thermogram was observed in the temperature range of $41.9{\sim}62.4^{\circ}C$ and was not appeared in cooked rice above 1.5 atm. During storage at cooker for 24 hr, retrogradation enthalpy of cooked rice was increased and retrogradation peak was not appeared above 1.7 atm. In cooking and storage of cooked rice, retrogradation degree measured by ${\alpha}-amylase-iodine$ method in high pressure gelatinized samples was lower than that in low pressure gelatinized ones.
