This study examined the optimal mixture ratio of rice gruel supplemented with puffed rice by mixture design. The quality characteristics of rice gruel samples were examined according to mixture ratios at eleven experimental points. The high soluble solid content and viscosity of gruel samples were significantly dependent on rice (short grain) content instead of glutinous rice. The viscosity ranged from $2,891{\sim}9,153\;cP{\cdot}s$ and soluble solid content ranged from $8.23{\sim}10.13^{\circ}Brix$ at the eleven experimental points. The mixture with the highest solid content and viscosity, 12% rice gruel sample was $10.10{\sim}10.13^{\circ}Brix$ and $9,150{\sim}9,153\;cP{\cdot}s$. The L color of sample decreased with decreasing rice content, while "a" (redness) and "b" (yellowness) values slightly increased. In the sensory evaluation, samples with higher amount of puffed rice and glutinous rice scored higher for brown color, flavor and sweetness than high-content rice samples. The response surface and trace plot results showed that increasing of puffed rice increased the brown color, sweet taste and sticky aftertaste. From the results of the F-test, viscosity, "a" (redness) and "b" (yellowness) values fit a quadratic model with significant probabilities within 0.05%. The optimum predicted formulations of rice gruel containing puffed rice were 1.69% of puffed rice, 0.47% of glutinous rice and 9.84% of rice, respectively.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: The purpose of the current study was to investigate the effect of red pericarp glutinous rice rich in polyphenols (Jakwangchalbyeo, red rice) on serum and hepatic levels of cholesterol and hepatic protein expression linked to synthesis and degradation of cholesterol in a hypercholesterolemic mice diet as compared with brown rice. MATERIALS/METHODS: C57BL/6 male mice were randomly divided into four groups (n = 5 each), which were fed different diets for a period of 12 weeks: American Institute of Nutrition (AIN)-93G diet, AIN-93G diet with 2% cholesterol, brown rice with 2% cholesterol, or red rice with 2% cholesterol. RESULT: Consumption of red rice resulted in a significant decrease in serum level of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and hepatic levels of triglyceride and total-cholesterol. Expression of acyl-coenzyme A cholesterol acyltransferase-2 (ACAT-2), sterol regulatory element binding protein-2 (SREBP-2), and 3-hydroxyl-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase was decreased, while expression of phosphorylated adenosine monophosphate activated protein kinase (p-AMPK)/AMPK ratio, cholesterol 7-${\alpha}$-hydroxylase (CYP7a1), and sterol 12-${\alpha}$-hydroxylase (CYP8b1) was increased in mice fed red rice. Brown rice had similar effects on cholesterol metabolism, but the effect of red rice was significantly greater than that of brown rice. CONCLUSIONS: The current study suggested that red rice had a hypocholesterolemic effect by lowering hepatic cholesterol synthesis through ACAT-2, HMG-CoA reductase, and SREBP-2, and by enhancing hepatic cholesterol degradation through CYP7a1 and CYP8b1 in mice fed a hypercholesterolemic diet.

In this study, we applied a steam treatment to black sesame to determine the optimum treatment conditions, and also examined the antioxidant effects and quality characteristics. For black sesame gruels, roasting can be used in a variety of ways in cooking to enhance functionality and preference. We found that the solid content increased with the addition of 70% steamed black sesame in the glutinous rice-black sesame gruel samples, and for glutinous black rice-black sesame gruels, solid content was highest with the addition of 50% steamed black sesame. For the chromaticity, the L-value decreased as the addition of steamed black sesame increased in all the black sesame gruels made with the steamed black sesame. With regard to texture, the cohesiveness, springiness, gumminess, chewiness, and adhesiveness of the gruels made with steamed black sesame were highest when 60% steamed black sesame was added. The results of the sensory test showed that overall preference was highest for the glutinous rice-black sesame gruel made with 60% steamed black sesame, while the glutinous brown rice-black sesame gruels were preferred with 60% and 70% additions, and the glutinous black rice-black sesame gruel was deemed best with 60% steamed black sesame. The most appropriate ratios of steamed black sesame in the black sesame gruels, with regard to overall quality, are as follows: 60% steamed black sesame for the glutinous rice-black sesame gruel, 60% and 70% steamed black sesame for the glutinous brown rice-black sesame gruel, and 60% steamed black sesame for the glutinous black rice-black sesame gruel.

We sought to optimize parboiled rice preparations with respect to nutritional composition and to compare the physicochemical properties of polished, glutinous rices and Olbyossal (parboiled rice). Crude lipid contents (all w/w) were: brown glutinous rice (1.92%) > Olbyossal (1.13%) > glutinous rice (1.08%) > polished rice (0.32%). The crude ash content of Olbyossal was greater than that of polished rice. There was no significant difference in crude protein level between Olbyossal and polished rice. Total dietary fiber content (all figures are w/w) was higher in Olbyossal (3.79%) than in polished rice (1.67%). With respect to mineral content, P (249.16 mg%), K (144.67 mg%), Na (35.41 mg%), and Mg (30.24 mg%) levels were higher in Olbyossal than in polished rice. There was no significant difference in fatty acid or amino acid content between polished rice and Olbyossal. The L value (lightness) of Olbyossal was lower than that of polished rice but the hardness of Olbyossal was greater.

Effect of various temperatures on enterotoxin production of Bacillus cereus 4 different cereal grains (brown rice, glutinous rice, barley, and Job's tear) was studied. When B. cereus was inoculated to 4 grains, no toxin was detected within 24 hr at 20 and $25^{\circ}C$ although the population reached approximately 8-10 log CFU/g. However, enterotoxin was detected in all samples above $30^{\circ}C$. When the temperature was increased to $35^{\circ}C$, toxin production was observed in the range of 6.11 and 6.26 log CFU/g on brown rice and glutinous rice, respectively. At $40^{\circ}C$, toxin production was detected after 6 hr with the lowest bacterial population of 5.32 and 5.04 log CFU/g, whereas enterotoxin was produced in the range of 6.86 and 7.77 log CFU/g on barley and Job's tear at $40^{\circ}C$. Different types of food affected enterotoxin production of B. cereus. These results suggest that enterotoxin production was more significantly regulated in incubation temperatures than the number of B. cereus.

This experiment was conducted to study the effects of replacing corn with Chinese brown rice on performance and apparent fecal digestibility of nutrients in weanling pigs. Seventy-two cross-bred (Duroc${\times}$Landrace${\times}$Large White) weanling pigs, weighing an average of $7.38{\pm}0.06kg$, were randomly assigned to either a corn-soybean meal diet (treatment 1), a corn-brown ricesoybean meal diet (treatment 2) and a brown rice-soybean meal diet (treatment 3). The brown rice used in this experiment was husked from one kind of early, long grain, non-glutinous rice (ELGNR, indica rice). The growth performance of weanling pigs in the experiment was similar during weeks 1 and 2, but feed conversion ratio (FCR) was significantly better in treatment 2 during weeks 3 and 4. During week 2, only the digestibility of organic matter in treatments 2 and 3 was significantly higher than that in treatment 1. During week 4, the digestibility of gross energy, ether extract, organic matter and dry matter in brown rice treatment, especially in treatment 3, were significantly higher than in treatment 1. At the end of the experiment, the concentration of serum urea nitrogen of pigs in treatment 2 was lower than that in treatment 1 and 3 and no difference was found in serum glucose and phosphorus. It could be concluded from this experiment that replacing 50% of corn with brown rice in the corn-soybean meal diet caused no negative effects to weanling pig performance, and apparent fecal digestibility was unaffected. It is feasible to replace corn with brown rice in weanling pig diets in southern China.

The objective of this study was to determine amino acid and protein contents of brown and milled non-glutinous rice of 13 cultivars in Korea. Protein contents of MRs (milled rices) were in order of Haepum (7.27%) > Hanareum No. 4 (7.14%) > Odae (6.84%). Protein contents of BRs (brown rices) were in order of Haepum (7.68%) > Odae (7.63%) > Hanareum No. 4 (7.60%). The amino acid content was the highest in Haepum (MR 5.76%, BR 6.49%), followed by Haedeul (MR 5.71%, BR 6.30%), and Odae (MR 5.63%, BR 6.29%). The essential amino acid contents of non-glutinous rices were in order of Haepum (MR 2.34%, BR 2.57%) > Haedeul (MR 2.31%, BR 2.48%) > Odae (MR 2.20%, BR 2.56%). The contents of amino acid and protein in BRs were considerably higher than those in MRs. Protein and most of amino acid contents were higher in Haepum than the other cultivars. The certificated reference material (CRM) 1849a (infant/adults nutritional formular) from National Institute of Standard and Technology (NIST) was used as the test sample to determine the precision and accuracy of the analytical method. The regression analyses revealed good correlations (correlation coefficient), greater than 0.99. The recovery values of the amino acids ranged from 93.17 to 99.59%. The limit of detection (LODs) ranged from 0.01 - 0.07 mg·100 g^-1 and the limit of quantitation (LOQs) ranged from 0.03 - 0.21 mg·100 g^-1 for all analytes.

General problems on the quality in circulation process of Kochujang are fluidity, separated water at upper layer, and color change to dark-brown. Rice powders, glutinous rice powder and gelatinized rice powder, gelatinized glutinous rice powder were applied for solving such problems to Kochujang. Relationship between blending ratio of com syrup and fluidity had a linear correlation. Water separation in Kochujang was prevented by addition of gelatinized cereal powders, and gelatinized glufinous rice powder was most effective. Optimal amount of gelatinized glutinous rice powder was $0.5\~1.0\%$ (w/w).

We bred a new green-kerneled glutinous rice variety that can be cultivated in the whole area of Korea, because only one native green-kerneled glutinous rice cultivar, "Saengdongchalbyeo", has been cultivated in the southern coastal area due to its late heading. The seeds of "Saengdongchalbyeo" were irradiated with 200 Gy of gamma ray in 1995. A promising mutant variety, "Nogwonchalbyeo" ("Wonnong 17") was selected through line selection and regional yield trials. In particular, the new variety revealed at the earlier mid of August compared to that of "Saengdongchalbyeo", the early of September, and it was considerably tolerant to a field lodging due to its shortened culm length. Also, "Nogwonchalbyeo" had a higher ripened grain ratio and 1,000 grain weight compared to the original variety. The brown grain yield of the new variety was about 5.40 MT/ha, which was 11.3% higher than that of the original variety, in the regional yield trials at 3 different fields during 2000~2001. The brown and milled grains of the new rice variety contained 20 to 65% higher amount of total amino acids, respectively than that of the original and two checks. For chlorophyll -a, -b and total chlorophyll, the new variety showed nearly two-fold higher than the checks, and for the carotenoid, it had 5.3 - 7.6 times higher amount. These results showed that the new variety can be cultivated as a special green-kerneled glutinous rice with high functional compounds.

Effects of rice type (unhulledy, brown, and polished rice), varieties, moisture content, and shape (length and diameter), on rice of puffability by hot air were investigated. The puffability of unhulled rice was the highest among them. In addition, relative crystallinities of puffed paddy by hot air puffer ($55{\pm}5\;sec.$, at $210{\pm}5^{\circ}C$) were lower than those of brown and polished rice. The puffability of Wongbongolchalbyeo, glutinous rice, and Jinjubyeo, non-glutinous rice, was good, respectively. Optimum moisture content of unhulled rice for maximum puffed volume was in the range of $10{\sim}12%$ (w/w).
