This study attempted to determine the effects of sucrose, NaCl and acetic acid on the quality characteristics of cooked rice stored at 20$\^{C}$ for 72 hours. It conducted a moisture content, color value, texture and RVA(Rapid Visco Analyser) viscosity on stored cooked rice. Moisture contents of all groups ecreased during storage and that of cooked rice with NaCl were significantly lower than that of other groups. In color, lightness(L) of cooked rice with various additives seemed higher than that of control group and reduced b value of cooked rice with acetic acid showed that the color became less yellow. In texture, the hardness of cooked rice with NaCl and sucrose was higher than that of control group, whereas that of cooked rice with acetic acid was similar to that of control group. Adhesiveness of cooked rice with acetic acid was higher than that of other groups and it was shown that texture could be improved by the addition of acetic acid. The initial viscosity of cooked rice with acetic acid was markedly higher than that of other groups and finial viscosity was lower than that of other groups. It seemed that addition of acetic acid could retard the retrogradation of stored cooked rice.

To investigate the effect of adding sugars and lipids on characteristics of cooked rice, the solubility, swelling power, blue value, amylogram and sensory evaluation characteristics of cooked rices with 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0% level of sugars and lipids additives were measured. The solubility, swelling power and blue value of cooked rice with sugars were increased as the more sugars were added. Those parameters of the cooked rice with isomalto oligosaccharide were higher than sucrose. The solubility decreased as the more lipids were added. The swelling power decreased as the more lipids were added. As the result of amylograph analysis, addition of isomalto oligosaccharide accelerates the gelatinization and retards the retrogradation. In sensory evaluation, the cooked rice with 0.5% level of sucrose and isomalto oligosaccharide were showed better acceptability than the others. In conclusion, the additions of sugars and lipids affect characteristics of cooked rice. Especially, the cooked rice with 0.5% isomalto oligosaccharide was showed the best physiochemical and sensory properties.

This study was conducted to investigate performance of methods for cooking and thawing frozen cooked rice to retard retro-gradation of cooked rice. For this research, That was executed rice's physicochemical and sensory characteristics test through the way of boiling rice or thawing, and found out best way for retro-gradation and taste. This study showed the rice cooked by pressure rice pot has less dehydration during freezing and thawing, and thawed rice by micro wave has less dehydration. Repetition of freezing and thawing resulted increasing of hardness and chewiness, and decreasing of adhesiveness and cohesiveness. The rice cooked by convotherm oven or pressure rice pot has less increased hardness while freezing and thawing. Adhesiveness was superior when rice was cooked by pressure rice pot. The rice thawed by microwave had more hardness than thawed in room temperature.

The purpose of this study was to provide the sensory profiles for cooked rice varieties, with 3 types of functional rice and 4 types of ready -to -eat rice, using descriptive analysis. Eighteen descriptors as well as reference standards were developed. The cooked functional rice, ready-to-eat rice, and plain cooked rice were separated into 4 groups by PCA. PC1 & PC2 explained 65% of the total valiance. PC 1 was responsible for the highest percentage of separation based on the texture intensities. The cooked functional rice showed higher intensity for hardness and roughness. The ready-to-eat rice A, B, and C samples had higher intensities in terms of moistness, glossiness, and moisture content, as well as sour and raw rice flavor. The ready-to-eat rice D sample had low grain wholesomeness, and high intensity for raw rice flavor. Finally, the plain cooked rice had more roasted and burnt rice flavor.

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.

This study was conducted to investigate the nutrient intakes of subjects by quartile of percent energy intake from cooked rice, consumption of cooked rice mixed with multi-grains and to evaluate rice consumption in relation to the risk of metabolic syndrome. The subjects were 5,830 males and females aged between 20~64 years based on 2007-2008 KNHNES data. Levels of percent energy intake from cooked rice were classified into 4 groups (Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4 groups: 25% of each) using data of 24-hour recall method from KNHNES. Using medical examination and questionnaire, subjects were classified according to diagnostic criteria of metabolic syndrome. The subjects with higher age, being married, lower education, lower economic level were more likely to take higher percent energy intake from cooked rice. Quartile Q3 of percent energy intake from cooked rice tended to show higher Index of Nutritional Quality (INQ) for fiber, calcium, iron, potassium and vitamin A. INQ of protein, dietary fiber, calcium, thiamin, phosphorus, potassium, riboflavin, niacin and vitamin C by consumption of cooked rice mixed with multi-grains was higher than that by consumption of cooked white rice when adjusted for age. No association with a risk for metabolic syndrome was found for quartile of percent energy intake from cooked rice or cooked rice mixed with multi-grains compared to cooked white rice after adjusting for energy, gender, age, BMI, alcohol, smoking, income and physical activity. In conclusion, consumption of over 54% energy intake from cooked rice or only cooked white rice showed relatively low INQs, but was not associated with a higher risk for metabolic syndrome.

The amount of added water for rice cooking was determined by extrusion test and sensory evaluation of cooked rice. The extrusion force was positively correlated with hardness and negatively correlated with moisture content and wetness of cooked rice. The extrusion force and moisture content of cooked rice were 57.9 kg and 62.3% respectively at the 'medium' wetness (neither too hard and dry nor too soft and watery) of cooked rice. The optimum water to rice ratio for the cooked rice haying 'medium' wetness was 1.46.

Brown rice has various health benefits; however, it is more difficult to cook and has a harder texture as compared to milled rice. In this study, the effect of the sous-vide cooking method on starch retrogradation and textural properties of brown rice was investigated by comparative analysis with conventionally cooked brown rice based on moisture content assay, evaluation of the textural property analysis, and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The results of the study are as follows: First, the moisture content of sous-vide cooked brown rice was higher than in the conventionally cooked brown rice. Second, the sous-vide cooked brown rice has lower hardness, higher adhesiveness, and lower retrogradation enthalpy during storage than conventionally cooked brown rice. Finally, the retrogradation properties of cooked brown rice during storage were analyzed by DSC. The enthalpy increased more rapidly in the case of conventional cooked brown rice, reaching 1.58 J/g after 3 days of storage. This indicated that sous-vide cooking is effective in preventing retrogradation of rice during storage.
