The effects of addition of brown rice flour on the Backsulgies were examined. We chose the addition ratio of brown rice flour as 0%, 50%, 100% along with the pilot study. The addition of brown rice flour did not make significant changes in water-binding capacity, swelling power and the degree of gelatinization. But the addition of brown rice flour had a delaying effect of retrogradation of Backsulgies by textural analysis. In sensory evaluation, the Backsulgi added brown rice flour 50% had the highest value in the overall quality of sensory characteristics. But there was no significant difference in the other sensory characteristics between the 50% and 0% added with. Therefore we concluded that the addition of brown rice flour on Backsulgies improve the sensory characteristics as well as delay the retrogradation and would be a good source of dietary fiber.

Bread is an essential food consumed worldwide. Bread rapidly loses its desirable texture and flavor qualities associated with freshness through a process known as staling. The shelf life of bread is limited by this staling leading to economical losses in the range of one billion dollars per year. There are a number of mechanisms thought to be related to the staling process, such as water migration and redistribution, starch retrogradation, and gluten transformation. In this review, roles of water and water migration on bread staling are summarized and discussed.

This study was performed to analyze the retarded degree of Garaetteok retrogradation added with different ratios 0-15% (w/w) of apple pomace dietary fiber powder (DFP). SEM (${\times}$500) showed that air cell size on the Garaetteok surface increased as DFP content increased, whereas control had a compact structure without air cells. The degrees of Garaetteok retrogradation after 3 days at 4 and 25$^{\circ}C$ by ${\alpha}$-amylase iodine method were 57.44 and 41.55% for control, respectively. On the other hand, those of 15% DFP Garaetteok were 28.38 and 15.05%, respectively. Enthalpy changes (${\Delta}$E) by DSC of control, 10 and 20% DFP Garaetteok after 3 days of storage at 4$^{\circ}C$ were 4.41, 4.17, and 3.80 J/g, respectively, whereas those at 25$^{\circ}C$ were 2.14, 1.04, and 0.72 J/g. Hardness of 15% DFP Garaetteok was around 48% compared to that of control after 3 days of storage at 25$^{\circ}C$. Increasing DFP content from 0 to 15% decreased L color value from 86.2 to 55.1, whereas a and b values increased from -1.9 to 8.9 and from 5.3 to 20.8, respectively. In a sensory intensity test, hardnesses of 15% DEP Garaetteok were significantly different at 1 and 0.1% compared to those of control after production and followed by storage for 3 days at 4$^{\circ}C$, respectively.

This study was carried out to investigate the effects of modified starch, sugars and enzymatic hydrolysis with ${\beta}-amylase$ on extending the self-life of Injulmi, a Korean soft and glutinous rice cake, in terms of maintaining a soft texture. The Injulmi was prepared with or without kneading of waxy rice flour, NaCl and water mixture. The Injulmi was stored at -20, 4 and $20^{\circ}C$ and the hardness was measured to calculate the Avrami exponents during storage. The results showed that cold heading and enzymatic hydrolysis with ${\beta}-amylase$ before steaming of the waxy rice dough significantly extended the self-life on the basis of the Avrami equation. Among the various additives including different kinds of starches, sugars and polymannuronic acid, the addition of 1.5% tapioca starch, 8.0% of glucose or 3.0% of polymannuronic acid was also effective for delaying the retrogradation phenomena during storage. However, despite the effectiveness of these treatments, the Injulmi developed hardness within 2-3 days at $4^{\circ}C$ and within 4 days at $20^{\circ}C$ while storage at $-20^{\circ}C$ showed a storage stability that was maintained over x days. Sensory showed the Injulmi prepared with NOVA-0.005, GL-8.0 had a lower hardness than that of the other treatments.

Demand for a rice cake, a popular traditional food in Korea, is rising, but its industrial-scale production is extremely difficult due to its short shelf-life caused by starch retrogradation and microbial spoilage. By means of the sourdough fermentation technique, we attempt to develop rice cakes with a longer shelf-life. Heterofermentative lactic acid bacteria (Weissella koreensis HO20, Weissella kimchii HO22) isolated from kimchi were used to ferment wet-milled rice flour for their abilities to produce exopolysaccharides and to inhibit the microbial spoilage of rice cakes. After 24 hr of fermentation at $25^{\circ}C$, viable cell counts in rice dough increased from $10^6$ CFU/g to $10^8$ CFU/g and total titratable acidity increased from 0.05% to 0.20%, whereas pH decreased from 6.5 to 5.1. Fermented rice flour showed significantly lower peak, trough, and final viscosities as well as breakdown and setback viscosities measured by rapid viscoanalyzer. Both lactic acid bacteria showed in vitro antifungal activity against Penicillium crustosum isolated from rice cakes. The antifungal activity remained constant after the treatments with heat, proteinase K and trypsin, but fell significantly by increase of pH. Rice cakes made of fermented rice flour were found to retard mycelial growth of P. crustosum. The degree of retrogradation as measured by the hardness of the rice cake was significantly reduced by the use of fermented rice flour. The results suggest that use of fermented rice flour has a beneficial role in retarding starch retrogradation and in preventing fungal growth, hence extending the shelf-life of rice cakes.

Dietary fiber contents in brans of the two representative Korean rice varieties, Chucheong and Sucheon were measured by the AOAC method, and the composition of total dietary fiber (TDF) was analyzed with the acid detergent fiber (ADF) procedure. Rice bran contained more than 25% of TDF, most of which was insoluble dietary fiber. Hemicellulose was shown to be the major constituent and rice bran dietary fiber contained distinctive amounts of cellulose and uronic acid. Consecutive acidalkaline treatment of rice bran considerably increased soluble dietary fiber (SDF) content and water-holding capacity (WHC). WHC of wheat flour-rice bran dietary fiber mixture increased with the proportion of rice bran dietary fiber. Analysis of the differential scanning calorimetry thermograms revealed that rice bran dietary fiber effectively retarded retrogradation of wheat starch.

The thermal properties of typical five Indica and five Japonica rice varieties were investigated by Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). There was no significant difference in gelatinization temperature between Indica and Japonica varieties, but the average enthalpy of gelatinization was larger in Indica types than that in Japonica. However, the enthalpy of melting of amylose-lipid complex was larger in Japonica types than that in Indica types. The DSC thermogram of hydrolyzed rice residue included a smaller peak of gelatinization with narrow range of temperature. Retrogradation of gelatinized rice kernel was also determined with DSC theremograms. The endothermic peak areas clearly increased with increasing storage time at $4^{\circ}C$ so that the area could be used as a measure of the relative degree of retrogradation. The results indicated that Samgang variety(Indica) retrograded more rapidly than Chuncheong variety(Japonica).

This study was carried out to examine the effects of wheat flour ferment cultured by Lactobacillus acidophilus on the physical characteristics of cooked noodle. Different scanning calorimeter(DSC) analysis results for noodle gelatinization showed that the noodles containing flour ferment had higher enthalphy values than the control noodle. And based on the degree of retrogradation for the noodles containing the flour ferment, enthalpy decreased as the amount of the ferment increased, resulting in the delay effect on the retrogradation. According to textural property evaluations over a storage period, the noodles containing the flour ferment had increases in hardness and cohesiveness, and the springiness of the control group was higher than that of the noodles containing the flour ferment; however, this difference between groups gradually disappeared with increasing storage time. Finally, the noodles containing 10% flour ferment had a higher overall preference score than the control group, indicating that the addition of the flour ferment during noodle production can have a beneficial effect on the preference.

The gelatinization and retrogradation properties of rice starch added with dietary fibers from sikhe were investigated. The pasting temperature and setback of starch measured by using a rapid visco analyzer were increased by the addition of the fiber, whereas the peak viscosity, trough viscosity, end viscosity, breakdown and consistency were lowered. The onset temperature of starch measured by a DSC was increased, but the enthalpy of gelatinization of the starch was decreased as the addition of fiber increased. The melting peak temperature of the retrograded starch gels was 41∼46$\^{C}$ as measured by a DSC. The melting enthalpy of the control retrograded starch gel was increased while storing for 1, 3 and 7 days at 4$\^{C}$, but that of containing sikhe fiber showed no differences.

The effects of three surfactants (SSL, Dimodan, and SE1670) on the properties of cooked nonwaxy and waxy rice during storage were investigated by sensory evaluation, instrumental test, and measurement of retrogradation degree. The results of sensory evaluation revealed that the overall quality of cooked rice was affected by textural characteristics. The addition of surfactant decreased the roughness and hardness of cooked rice, however, increased the stickiness and moistness during the storage in the order of SE, SSL, and Dimodan. In instron test, the hardness of surfactant-added cooked rice was significant lower than that of control. The addition of surfactant decreased the degree of retrogradation both in cooked nonwaxy and waxy rices.
