Changes in quality of cooked rice after microwave reheating were evaluated. Ceramic coated microwave oven reduced a reheating time(1 min). Storage temperature, storage time and microwave reheating did not affect the color value of cooked rice after microwave reheating. Hardness of cooked rice after microwave reheating decreased in frozen storage treatment. Photomicrographs of cross-section of cooked rice after microwave reheating showed restoration of starch. Effect of storage temperature and time were not significant in appearance, aroma, taste and texture of cooked rice after microwave reheating for sensory evaluation test.

The effects of mixtures of each of rice hull charcoal and wood charcoal with pyroligneous acid on the cultivation and antioxidant activities of rice were investigated. Results of the total phenolic compounds, DPPH radical electron-donating ability and xanthine oxidase stress activity analyses revealed that the environment-friendly materials increased the total antioxidant capacity in rice. In the case of palatability of rice, total amylose blue value and starch-I2color reaction analyses, data showed that environment-friendly materials generally decreased the amylose content of rice. Also, the environment-friendly materials improved the rice endosperm quality.

Kochujang was prepared by using retrograded rice cakes (Song Pyun, Sym rice cake, Ssuk rice cake, Pat rice cake) as a source starch and the physiochemical and sensory characteristics were compared with traditional kochujang during aging for 60 days. Moisture content of all kochujang groups increased slowly but crude fat content decreased according to aging process. Changes of pH values of all kochujang reduced gradually during aging and the pH of saccharified kochujang was lowered than that of traditional one. Total reducing sugar contents in saccharified kochujang reached the maximum value at 50th day, and decreased thereafter. In contrast, the reducing sugar content in traditional kochujang was the highest at 30-day-aging. After 60 days of aging, the total contents of organic acids were 28.57 mg for P$\_$1/, 27.9 mg for P$\_$4/, 27.05 mg for P$\_$3/ 24.60 mg for P$\_$2/, and 22.30 mg for P$\_$0/. By sensory evaluation, saccharified kochujang prepared with Siru rice cake showed the highest sensory score in its appearance, flavor, texture, color, and taste.

Starch gel electrophoresis was used to estimate the degree of genic variation and genetic relatedness among twelve populations of the Cat-Sanke(Elaphe diene) in Korea. Out of the 17 loci examined 9 loci (Mdh-2, Ldh-1, Ldh-2, Idh-1, Idh-2, Adh, Aco-3, ep, Got-1) were monomorphic with identical mobility in all populations, 4 loci (Pgm, Mpi, Pept-1, Got-2) were nearly identical with minor allele frequency differences, and 4 loci (Mdh-1, Fgi, Est-2, 6psd) showed moderate variation. Levels of genic variation were similar to those found for other reptilian species. The mean genetic similarity value(S) among twelve populations is 0.966. Chechu population was slightly remote genetically from the mainland populations.

The relative retrogradation of Jeungpyun investigated with different millimg methods of rice flour. The relative retrogradation of Jeungpyun was reduced in order that of W-C, W-P, D-M, D-J in DSC(Differential Scanning Calorimetry) method while W-C, D-M, D-J, W-P in Diastase method. In wet milling method, the relative retrogradation of Jeungpyun by Pin mill(W-P) was lower than Jeungpyun by colloid mill(W-C). In dry milling method, the relative retrogration of Jeungpyun by jet mill(D-J) was lower than Jeungpyun by micro mill(D-M). The relative retrogradation of Jeungpyun by DSC method was similar to the Diastase method. The relative retrogradation of Jeungpyun was decreased with decreasing particle size and setback value for amylogram and increasing damaged starch.

The physicochemical properties of coarse semolina (CS), medium semolina (MS) and fine semolina (FS) were investigated to research method applied in noodles processing of Korean wheat semolina. Large particle (>250 ${\mu}m$) was over 75% in all semolinas, except for FS, and the particle distribution of MS and durum semolina (DS) was similar. Crude protein and crude ash were the highest in DS followed by CS>MS>FS. Crude lipid of DS was the lowest among samples and CS, MS and FS were not significantly different. L value was high in semolina with small particle distribution and starch damage was the lowest in DS followed by FS>MS. Amylose content was high in DS (29.80%) and FS (29.08%) with small particle distribution. Water binding capacity was the highest in DS, and FS showed the highest water binding capacity among Korean wheat samples. Solubility and swelling power were noticeably high in FS with low starch damage and small particle distribution. In scanning electron microscope (SEM), FS and MS showed distribution of separated fine particles of flours. From these results, the physicochemical properties of semolina showed many differences by grinding methods. FS should be applied in noodles processing through additional examination about characteristic of noodle making.

This study has been performed to deveope a yeast strain having high ${\alpha}$-amylase production ability using nuclear transfer method. Hybrids formed between the strains of Saccharomyces fiburigera KCTC 7393 and Saccharomyces cerevisiae KCTC 7049 (tyr-, ura-)were obtained by nuclear transfer technique. Nuclei isolated from the wild type S. fiburigera strain were transfered into auxotrophic mutants S. cerevisiae and selected the hybrids showing an increased starch degrading capability were selected (MN-16). This transformant grew best and produced maximal ${\alpha}$-amylase activity on the medium containing 2% (V/V) soluble starch. ${\alpha}$-Amylase from MN-16 was purified electrophoretically homogenety and its properties were investigated. The enzyme was purified about 10.6 fold with an overall yield 9.7% from the culture medium by ammonium sulfate fractionation. DEAE-Sephacel column chromatography, and Sephacryl S-200 column chromatography. The purified enzyme showed a single band on SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The molecular weight of the ${\alpha}$-amylase was estimated to be 53,000 daltons by SDS-PAGE and by gel permeation chromatography on Sephacryl S-200. The purified enzyme showed the maximum activity at pH 5.5 and 40${\circ}C$. The km value for soluble starch was 2.5㎎/㎖. The enzyme activity increased in the presence of $Ca^{2+}, Co^{2+}, EDTA, Mg^{2+}, Mn^{2+}, Zn^{2+}$, but inhibited by $Cu^{2+}, Fe^{2+}$, and $Ni^{2+}$

The effects of seven commercial gums (xanthan gum, guar gum, pectin, gum arabic, gellan, locust bean gum, and sodium alginate) at different concentrations (0, 0.3, and 0.6%) on flow properties of sweet potato starch (SPS) pastes were investigated. Flow behavior characteristics were adequately described by power law flow model, and yield stress was also measured by vane method. SPS-gum mixtures (5% w/w) at $25^{\circ}C$ were found to have high shear-thinning flow behavior with yield stress, and their consistency index (K) and apparent viscosity ($\eta_{a,100}$) increased with elevated gum concentration, except for pectin and sodium alginate. Vane yield stress ($\sigma_o$) value of SPS-pectin mixture was lower when compared to other mixtures while that of SPS-gellan mixture was much higher. Most of the gums, except for pectin, gum arabic, and sodium alginate, showed a synergistic effect on the elastic properties of SPS-gum mixtures. In general, the flow properties of SPS-gum mixtures appeared to be strongly influenced by the addition of gum, and dependent on the type and concentration of gum.

Germinated brown rice (GBR) has received great attention due to its enhanced nutritional value. Brown waxy rice was germinated at $30^{\circ}C$ for 10 h, 20 h, or 30 h with 95% humidity. The color, texture, digestibility, and sensory characteristics of waxy rice cake made by GBR were evaluated. Pasting viscosity of rice flour was substantially reduced, whereas ${\gamma}$-amino butyric acid content increased with an increase in germination time. Lightness of rice cake with GBR was lower than that with brown rice, whereas the redness and yellowness of rice cake were higher after germination. For textural properties, the hardness, gumminess, and chewiness of rice cake with GBR were lower than those with brown rice, and decreased hardness was more prominent with an increase in germination time. The in vitro starch digestibility of rice cake was elevated by germination, showing an increase in rapidly digestible starch content and decrease in resistant starch content. In the sensory evaluation, the overall acceptability of rice cake with brown rice and GBR was greater than that with white rice, whereas it was reduced with an increase in germination time.

This experiment was conducted to determine the effect of the feeding value for the wild legumes silage-making with additives. The chopped Kudzu (Puerarie thunbergii Bentham) of wild legumes was ensiled by the conventional method in the small experimental silo of 2 liters. The additives used in the present experiments were water (8%),water (8%) plus corn starch (3%) and water (8%) plus glucose (3%). These additives as well as that of control without additive were set up and these silage were compared with the conventional corn silage. The fermentative qualities and the characteristic of fiber (neutral detergent fiber, NDF; acid detergent fiber, ADF; acid detergent lignin, ADL) of silage produced was determined by chemical analysis, and dry matter digestibility (DMD) was evaluated by pepsin-cellulase technique. The results obtained are summarized as follows: 1 The weight of Kudzu silage was lost under the 10% for all the treatments. 2 In degree of pH for the Kudzu silages with glucose, starch, control and water treatments were high 3.80,4.04,4.57 and 5.34, respectively.
