Physicochemical properties of instant rice prepared by hot-air drying, alcohol dehydration and freeze-hot air drying were studied. Freeze-hot air drying rice showed the fastest rehydration rate as well as the most desirable textural characteristics. Sensory evaluation suggested that the freeze-hot air drying rice also had more desirable taste, flavor and texture. However, color was more desirable in alcohol dehydrated rice.

A novel real-time actuator failure detection algorithm is developed in this paper. Actuator fails when the input to the structure is different from the commanded one. Previous research has shown that one error function can be formulated for each actuator through interaction matrix method. For output without noise, non-zero values in the actuator functions indicate the instant failure of the actuator regardless the working status of other actuators. In this paper, it is further demonstrated that the actuator's error function coefficients will be directly calculated from the healthy input of the examined actuator and all outputs. Hence, the need for structural information is no longer needed. This approach is termed as direct method. Experimental results from a NASA eight bay truss show the successful application of the direct method for isolating and identifying the real-time actuator failure. Further, it is shown that the developed method can be used for real-time sensor failure detection.

The aim of this study was to investigate the texture change of cooked rice within a short time after cooking. Using four instant rice brands, the texture change within 30 min after cooking was measured by the texture profile analysis (TPA) method for hardness, adhesiveness, cohesiveness, chewiness, and springiness with different compression ratios (30, 70%) and cross-head speeds (0.5, 1.0 mm/s). In the case of cohesiveness, adhesiveness, and chewiness, there were significant differences in the rice textures at 20 to 30 min after cooking compared to that in the sample immediately after cooking. In particular, adhesiveness showed significant differences at 10 min after cooking. However, there were little significant differences within 30 min for springiness. In conclusion, when measuring cooked rice texture, it is desirable to measure it, if possible, within 10 to 20 min after cooking.

To develop a new instant pumpkin gruel food, this study investigated the dried powder and gruel quality characteristics depend on drying method. The pumpkin powder was dried by infrared and freeze drying, and then milled to 80 mesh, after which the manufactured gruel was mixed with glutinous rice by heating. The gruels prepared by dried pumpkin powder were compared with steamed and freeze dried powder as a control, the crude protein and total sugar contents were high in the infrared drying powder, but freeze drying kept more carotenoid content. Soluble solid of gruel was higher in the freeze dried powder, and steam treated powder showed increased L and b values. Sensory test was carried out to select proper drying methods with 5-point scale. The gruel with freeze dried powder gained the highest score in overall quality. These results suggest that freeze drying could be used for manufacturing high quality instant pumpkin gruel.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the foods which 424(male 171, female 253) university students surveyed consumed frequently and to evaluate and the factors affecting their food consumption patterns. The survey was conducted at the beginning of nutrition courses each semester, March and September, 1998, with the questionnaire composed of general information, food, drinking and smoking habits, nutrition knowledge/attitude and food frequency questionnaire. The rates of alcohol drinking in male and female students were 89.2% and 78.1% respectively, and the rates of smoking were 68.1% and 1.6% in males and female. The nutrition knowledge score was higher in females than in males, but the nutrition attitude score was not significantly different between the male and female groups. The foods frequently consumed among students were cooked rice(14.3/week), kimchi(11.1/week), coffee(5.7/week), vegetables in soup, jjigae and jorim(3.5/week), carbonated beverages(3.3/week), cooked mixed rice(3.2/week). Ramyun and chocolate·candies·biscuits were frequently consumed, too. There were several factors influencing food consumption patterns. These were gender, regularity of mealtimes, the status of alcohol drinking and smoking, residence type and the levels of nutrition knowledge and attitude. Males ate more frequently cooked rice, coffee, carbonated beverages, ramyun, functional beverages and ham·sausage, while females ate more frequently cooked mixed rice and fruits. Those who had the habits of irregular mealtimes seemed to eat more soft drinks, instant foods and snacks. These trends were also found in the alcohol drinking and smoking groups. High level groups for nutrition knowledge of attitude score chose raw yellow green and green vegetables, cooked mixed rice, soybeans and seaweeds more frequently than the other groups. On the other hand, low level groups for nutrition knowledge or attitude score were apt to eat carbonated beverages and ramyun more frequently. Therefore, more attention should be taken to males, having habits of irregular mealtimes, alcohol drinking and smoking, and low level groups for nutrition knowledge or attitude score so as to improve their health.

In order to provide fundamental data on development of rice noodles, the quality characteristics of 10 kinds of commercial rice noodles were evaluated. Rice noodles were categorized into 3 groups for examination: 100% rice noodles with different shapes; round shape noodles with different rice contents; and noodles with different rice contents but smilar cooking method. Cooking properties, texture measurement, and sensory characteristics were evaluated. Frozen rice noodles and instant type of noodles made from composite flour of rice and wheat flour exhibited higher scores in overall acceptance. As for the form of noodle, round-shaped noodles seemed to be preferred in comparison to flat-shaped noodles. Generally, noodles with high texture scores of cohesiveness, adhesiveness, chewiness, resilience but not high score of hardness having smooth surface were preferred affecting overall acceptance scores. It appears that cooking methods and cooking time recommended by manufactures, noodle thickness and shape, packaging types such as frozen, refrigerated, and dried noodles were more influential than rice contents in aspects to the quality characteristics of the commercial rice noodle products in this study.

Sasa borealis leaf has been known to have anti-diabetic properties. In this study, we tried to evaluate the effects of Sasa borealis leaf extract (SBE) on the inhibition of $\alpha$-glucosidase activity and postprandial glycemic response following ingestion of four carbohydrate-rich foods; cooked rice, ramen (instant noodle), noodle, and bread. Fourteen healthy female adults consumed 50 g of glucose (control) or one of the four foods containing 50 g of available carbohydrate with or without 2,000 mg of SBE. The activity of $\alpha$-glucosidase was inhibited dose-dependently by SBE. With SBE, blood glucose concentration at 15 min and the positive area under the curve (AUC) of postprandial glycemic response at 15 min and 30 min after consuming each of the four foods were reduced significantly. As the result, total positive AUC during 120 min was decreased in case of taking cooked rice or bread. Glycemic index and glycemic load of the four foods were declined from 13% to 23% with SBE. The results of this study suggest that SBE may be effective for postprandial glucose control by inhibiting $\alpha$-glucosidase activity.
