The physicochemical properties of brown rice flours produced under different drying and milling conditions were investigated. Moisture contents of hot-air dried, microwave dried and zet-milled brown rice flours (BrWZH) were 10.7%,13.7% and 8.0%-8.6%, respectively. Water absorption indices (WAI) and water soluble indices (WSI) of roll-milled brown rice flours (BrWRH) were lower (0.40-0.59 g/g; 0.7-3.0%) than those of zet-milled brown rice flours (0.58-0.79 g/g; 4.0-7.3%). Zet-milled brown rice flours had higher Hunter L values and more damaged starch (94.1-96.8; 28.2%) compared to roll-milled brown rice flours (91.3-91.9: 15.5%). The percentage of damaged starch and L values of brown rice flours increased as particle size of brown rice flours decreased. Roll-milled polished rice flour (Control) had the highest L value and lowest amount of damaged starch (97.1; 8.2%). Control, BrWRH, BrWZH, and ultrafine brown rice flour (HBrZMU) had peak viscosity values of 321, 255, 221, and 162 RVU, respectively and trough viscosity values of 217, 185, 175, and 113 RVU, respectively. Peak and trough viscosity (Rapid Visco Analyzer; RVA) properties of rice floors decreased as the particle size of rice flours decreased. HBrZMU demonstrated a higher onset temperature $(61.1^{\circ}C)$ compared to control $(54.8^{\circ}C)$ by differential scanning calorimetric (DSC). Crystal melting enthalpy $({\Delta}H)$ of control and brown rice flours were 10.4 J/g and 6.1-8.7 J/g, respectively. Results of this study suggested that physicochemical properties of brown rice flours were closely related to their particle size.

Two brown rice samples differing in amylose content, 20.1 (normal) and 7.3% (low amylose) were milled by different milling methods, and their physicochemical properties were tested. Particle size of brown rice flour prepared by dry milling using a pin mill (DM) was lower than that prepared by wet milling using a roll mill (WM). Particle size was further reduced by successive dry milling of the flour after wet milling and drying (WM/DM). Damaged starch contents in the wet milled brown rice flour were 14.6 and 15.6% for the normal and low amylose samples, respectively, whereas they were only 4.2 and 4.8% for the dry milled samples. WM/DM method resulted in a lower damaged starch (%) than DM, despite a reduced flour particle size. Water absorption index (WAI) of the brown rice flour was the lowest after WM/DM, and the water solubility index (WAI) was higher in the order of DM, WM/DM, and WM. Brown rice flour with normal amylose content appeared to have significantly higher pasting viscosities, as determined using a Rapid Visco Analyzer (RVA). Compared to dry milled brown rice flour, wet milled brown rice flour showed lower peak viscosity and higher final viscosity, resulting in increased setback value.

Laver-wrapped rice and laver-wrapped rice containing a vinegar blend (vinegar:sugar:water:salt = 5:2:2:1) were prepared and their degrees of aging from 10 to $30^{\circ}C$, total cell numbers, and total coliforms were examined and compared. The total cell numbers of the laver-wrapped rice increased to 1 log cfu/g at 36 hours, and the total cell numbers of the laver-wrapped rice with vinegar had increased to within 48 hours. At $20^{\circ}C$ for 24 hrs, the total cell numbers for the laver-wrapped rice had increased to 5 log cfu/g: whereas trhe total cell numbers of the laver-wrapped rice with vinegar(5ml of vinegar marinade mixed into 100g of steamed rice), stored at the same conditions had not increased. In the vinegar-marinated rice (2ml/100g rice), microorganisms appeared at 18 hours. However, at the concentration of 5ml/l00g of rice, microorganisms were not observed at 24 hours. Coliforms did not appear in the laver-wrapped rice nor in the laver-wrapped rice with vinegar(prepared at 10ml/100g) until 48 hours. When stored at 10 and $20^{\circ}C$, no microorganisms were found in the laver-wrapped rice with vinegar until 48 hours, respectively. However, at $30^{\circ}C$, microorganisms were observed in the laver-wrapped rice from 24 hours, and from 48 hours in the laver-wrapped rice with vinegar. These results suggest that laver-wrapped rice should be consumed within one day. The number of microorganisms inside the laver-wrapped rice reached 6 log cfu/g by 24 hours, but the increase in the laver-wrapped rice with vinegar was slower. The aging(% damaged starch) of the laver-wrapped rice with vinegar(5ml/100g the rice) stored at $20^{\circ}C$ was reduced, with 3% damaged starch at 24 hours. Consumer evaluations revealed that the laver-wrapped rice prepared with 5ml of the vinegar blend received higher scores for flavor, taste, texture, and overall acceptance as compared to the control. In particular, significantly higher scores were given for taste, texture, and overall acceptability. In summary, the laver-wrapped rice with vinegar had an extended shelf-life(more than 1 day) at storage temperatures of $20-30^{\circ}C$, as well as reduced retrogradation. In addition, based on consumer evaluations, adding vinegar to laver-wrapped rice laver is effective for increasing overall acceptability.

The objective of this research was to investigate physicochemical properties of waxy sorghum flours by different milling methods (pin mill and ultra fine mill). Four different sorghum flours were used for the experiments ; PWS (pin milled whole sorghum flour), PS (pin milled sorghum flour without bran), UFWS (ultra fine milled whole sorghum flour), UFS (ultra fine milled sorghum flour without bran). The contents of crude ash and total dietary fiber were the highest in PWS. Amylose content of pin milled sorghum flour was higher than that of ultra fine milled flour. The mean particle size of pin milled flours was six times lager than ultra fine milled flours. The L values of UFS and UFWS were higher than those of PS and PWS, whereas a and b values were higher in PWS. The water binding capacity was highest in UFWS, and solubility was higher in PS and UFS. Swelling power of flours was highest in UFS. The damaged starch content was higher in PS and UFS, which means damaged starch of sorghum flours significantly affected by polishing than milling method. The pasting properties were higher in the pin milled flours. Initial pasting temperature of pin milled flour was ranging from 70.5 to $73.1^{\circ}C$, which are higher than ultra fine milled flour ($68.6^{\circ}C$). The contents of total polyphenol were higher in PWS and UFWS than those of PS and UFS, there was no difference between the two milling methods. The results of this study indicate that physicochemical properties of sorghum flour were affected by milling methods as well as bran.

This study was conducted to explore the quality characteristics of colored rice depending on the cultivars (Jeogjinu, Josaengheugchal, Joeunheukmi, Heukjinjubyeo, Hongjinju, Heukjinmi, Geongganghongmi) for porridge. The moisture, crude protein, lipid, ash, amylose and damaged starch contents of colored rice ranged from 10.05~11.23%, 7.72~8.69%, 2.68~3.26%, 1.62~1.88%, 6.29~20.31% and 5.06~8.26%, respectively. The highest moisture (11.23%), crude protein (8.69%), lipid (3.26%) and ash (1.88%) contents of colored rice were detected in Heukjinjubyeo, Joeunheukmi, Josaengheugchal and Heukjinmi, respectively. The lowest amylose and damaged starch contents of colored rice were detected in Josaengheugchal and Joeunheukmi, respectively. In general, the water binding capacity, water solubility and swelling power of Heukjinmi were greater than those of the other cultivars. The investigation of the pasting properties (peak, trough, break down, final and setback viscosity, peak time, pasting temperature) of colored rice indicated a low value in Josaengheugchal. The lowest hardness (13,673.25 g) of colored rice was observed in Heukjinjubyeo while the highest digestibility (5.44 glucose mg/g) of colored rice was observed in Josaengheugchal. These results indicated that Josaengheugchal are suitable cultivars for porridge.

Two antifungal bacteria were selected from forest soils during the screening of microorganisms antagonistic to Cylindrocarpon destructans, a cause of ginseng root rot. The antifungal bacteria were identified as Bacillus subtilis (I4) and B. amyloliquefaciens (yD16) based on physiological and cultural characteristics, the Biolog program, and 16S rRNA gene sequencing analyses. Antagonistic activity of both bacterial isolates to C. destructans increased with increasing temperature. More rapid starch hydrolytic activity of the bacteria was seen on starch agar at higher temperatures than at lower temperatures, and in the higher density inoculum treatment than in the lower density inoculum treatment. The bacterial isolates failed to colonize ginseng root the root tissues inoculated with the bacteria alone at an inoculum density of $1{\times}10^6$ cfu/ml, but succeeded in colonizing the root tissues co-inoculated with the bacteria and C. destructans. Scanning electron microscopy showed that the pathogen was damaged by the low-density inoculum treatment with the bacterial isolates as much as by the high-density inoculum treatment. Both bacterial isolates were more effective in reducing root rot when they were treated at a concentration of $1{\times}10^6$ cfu/ml than at $1{\times}10^8$ cfu/ml. Also, only the former treatment induced prominent wound periderm formation, related to structural defense against pathogen infection. The results suggest that the bacterial antagonists may have high potential as biocontrol agents against ginseng root rot at relatively low-inoculum concentrations.

Sweet potato powders made from eight Korean varieties, including purple-fleshed, orange-fleshed, and commercial dry type sweet potatoes, were investigated for physicochemical and pasting properties to develop processed food. Crude protein and lipid contents of Shinjami and Borami were higher than those of other varieties. The lightness value of raw sweet potato flesh was the highest value in Shinchunmi, and the lowest in Shinjami. Using the color difference (${\Delta}E$), color similarities compared to the white plate occurred in the following order; purple-fleshed > orange-fleshed > commercial dry type sweet potatoes. Total and damaged starch contents were significantly different (p<0.05). Total starch content of sweet potatoes was higher in commercial dry sweet potatoes (61.89-70.46%), particularly Shinchunmi (70.46%) but lower in orange-fleshed sweet potato (48.87 and 49.53%, respectively). Water binding capacity of Yeonwhangmi, swelling power and solubility of Shinyulmi were the highest values (174.70, 25.54 and 87.49%, respectively) among them (p<0.05). But oil absorptions of Shinyulmi and Shinchunmi showed lower values (97.08 and 97.54%, respectively). All sweet potato powders had an A type x-ray diffraction pattern. The initial pasting temperatures of sweet potato powders ranged from 69.50 to $75.95^{\circ}C$ and the amylolytic enzyme in sweet potato powder lowered pasting viscosity.

Rice flours from five rice (Oryza sativa L.) varieties with different amylose content were prepared by both wet and dry milling processes. The moisture content of wet-milled rice flours (WMR) was approximately three-times higher than that of dry-milled rice flours (DMR). Water absorption index (WAI), water solubility index (WSI), and swelling power (SP) increased in proportion to temperature. The WAI, WSI and SP values of DMR were higher than those of WMR. Baeokchal (BOC), which is a waxy rice cultivar, had a significantly high WSI value. Pasting properties of DMR, except for the BOC cultivar, resulted in an increase in peak, trough, final, and setback viscosities. The levels of resistant starch in four cultivars, except for Dodamssal (DDS), were under 1%, irrespective of the milling process, whereas the resistant starch contents of DMR and WMR in DDS were 9.18% and 6.27%, respectively. In vitro digestibility of WMR was higher than that of DMR, and the estimated glycemic index of the rice flour varieties ranged from 57.6 to 81.3. Damaged starch content of WMR was less than that of DMR; in addition, a negative correlation was observed between the amylose and damaged starch contents of WMR. These results suggest that the properties of rice flour vary depending on the milling method and flour variety, and could be a reference for selecting the appropriate processing method.

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.

To improve the textural properties of gluten free rice flour based products, the physicochemical and pasting properties of extruded non-waxy rice flours using extruder were investigated. The high yielding Tongil type rice variety, Hanarum was used. Hanarum rice flour was prepared by dry milling from soaked and dried rice grain. The operation conditions of twin screw extruder were 250 rpm of screw speed, $160^{\circ}C$ of barrel temperature, and 24, 27, and 30% of moisture content. Hanarum extruded rice flour (HERF) were lower in crude lipid and ash contents, but higher in crude protein than Hanarum rice flour (HRF). The color values of HERF showed significantly different (p<0.05) with different moisture contents. Water binding capacities, apparent amylose contents, and damaged starch of HERF were higher than those of HRF. Moisture contents affected water binding capacities of HERF. Solubility increased with increasing heating temperature and solubilities of HERF differed significantly (p<0.05). X-ray crystallinity was changed after extrusion cooking and that of HERF showed sharp peaks at $2{\theta}=18-20^{\circ}$. The pasting viscosities of HERF kept lower values (~ 10 RVU) constantly.
