The quality characteristics of brown rice polished with grains of four rice varieties (Hwaseonchal, Baegjinju, Ilpum and Goami) were examined. For the physical properties of native and fried brown rice starches, the gelatinization temperatures and enthalpies (determined with differential scanning calorimetry) of brown rice starches decreased with increasing amylose content. The pasting viscosities of native brown rice starches in distilled water were higher than those in $HgCl_2$ solution (as an ${\alpha}$-amylase inhibitor). The highest viscosity of gelatinized starch was observed for the starch of Ilpum rice variety relative to other varieties. Cystal packing arrangement of brown rice starches subjected to deep-fat frying converted A-type (typically observed for cereal starches) into V-type (formed by retrogradation and recrystllization of amylose molecules).

The study examined and compared the physicochemical and characteristics of various rice brand varieties and private brand products on the market. The moisture content in the proximate composition of rice was 15.67~17.03%, crude protein content was 5.73~6.30%, crude lipid content was 0.38~0.95%, and crude ash content was 0.23~0.56 %. Ilmi and Ilpum had high moisture content, whereas Gosihikkari and Hopyeong had high crude protein content. In the Hunter's color value of rice flour, L value was 96.76~97.27, a value was -1.63~-0.63, and b value was 2.00~2.60. The WAI was 1.21~1.39, WSI was 0.63~0.93%, and amylose content was 14.63~20.86%, respectively; Gosihikkari and Ilmi showed the lowest values. The X-ray diffraction patterns of rice flours of all varieties showed an A shape. For the amylogram properties of rice flour, initial pasting temperature was $59.57{\sim}63.23^{\circ}C$, maximum viscosity was 569.00~718.67 B.U. (Brabender Units), breakdown was 303.00~423.67 B.U., and setback was 212.67~265.33 B.U.. For differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) of rice flour, onset temperature was $54.66{\sim}58.63^{\circ}C$, peak temperature was $65.87{\sim}68.14^{\circ}C$, end temperature was $73.37{\sim}75.54^{\circ}C$, and enthalpy was 1.98~2.95 cal/g. The rice varieties with high internal density and initial pasting temperature as well as low crude protein content, WAI, amylose content, and setback can be classified as good. Gosihikkari in Gyeonggi Province, Ilmi and Hopyeong in Jeollanam-do, and Samgwang in Chungcheongnam-do are among them.

This study investigated the physicochemical properties of three different types of rice flour prepared via dry and wet milling. The powder, soft, and hard-types of rice flour were Suwon No. 542, Suwon No. 541, and Unbong No. 30, respectively. The analysis of the proximate compositions of the different types of rice flour showed that their moisture content was 7.03~7.99%, their crude protein was 7.94~8.35%, their crude lipid was 0.71~1.49% and their crude ash was 0.25~0.82%. For the Hunter's color values, the L value was highest in the wet-milled rice flour, the a value was highest in the dry-milled rice flour, and the b value was highest in the dry-milled rice flour. All the samples showed distinctive rice starch particles in the particle analysis using scanning electron microscope. The dry-milled rice flour showed the greatest amount of irregular particles and the coarsest texture. The water absorption and water solubility indices were higher in the wet-milled soft- and hard-type rice flour. The crystallinities of the samples by X-ray diffractography were all A-type, but the crystallinity of the dry-milled hard-type rice flour was higher in diffraction degree. For the amylogram properties, the wet-milled soft-type rice flour showed the highest maximum viscosity, breakdown and setback. In the meanwhile, the dry-milled soft-type rice flour showed the highest initial pasting temperature, onset, peak, and end temperatures despite of the reverse enthalpy.

The in vitro digestibility and molecular and crystalline structures of rice starches (Seilmi, Dasan1, and Segoami) with differing amylose content were investigated. Segoami had the highest amylose content (30.9%), whereas Dasan1 had the lowest amylose content (21.2%). The molecular weight ($\bar{M}_w$) of amylose and amylopectin in Segoami was much lower than that of the other two rice starches. Segoami had the highest proportion (8.7%) of amylopectin short branch chains (DP 6-12) and the lowest proportion of B1 chains (DP 13-24). The relative crystallinity, intensity ratio of $1047-1022cm^{-1}$ (1047/1022) and gelatinization enthalpy followed the order: Segoami>Seilmi~Dasan1. Segoami showed substantially low pasting viscosity. Rapidly digestible starch (RDS), slowly digestible starch (SDS), and resistant starch (RS) contents showed the highest value in Seilmi, Dasan1, and Segoami, respectively. The expected glycemic index (eGI) of Segoami was lower than that of the other two rice starches. Overall results suggested that the digestibility of rice starch could be highly influenced by their molecular and crystalline structure.

Molecular structure, physicochemical properties, and in vitro digestibility of starch from Korean rice cultivars for special uses (Baegjinju 1, Hanareum, Deuraechan, and Goami 4) were investigated. The starch from Baegjinju 1 had the lowest amylose content (9.7%) and Hanareum, Deuraechan, and Goami 4 had intermediate amylose (20-25%) contents. Baegjinju 1 had a lower proportion of short amylopectin branch chains than the other rice starches. Hanareum had the lowest relative crystallinity and the highest intensity ratio of $1047cm^{-1}/1022cm^{-1}$ among the rice starches. The starch from Goami 4 had a higher pasting temperature and lower gelatinization enthalpy than the other rice starches. Peak viscosity of rice starch from Baegjinju 1 was substantially higher than peak viscosity of other rice starches. Rice starch from Baegjinju 1 had significantly higher rapidly digestible starch content and lower resistant starch content than other rice starches, whereas there was no significant difference in resistant starch content among the rice starches.

Physicochemical properties and suitability of domestic wheat varieties for production of sugar-snap cookie were examined. Four kinds of commercially available wheat flour and six kinds of other domestic wheat varieties were tested. Domestic wheat varieties had protein contents ranging 7.7 to 11.5%, alkaline water retention capacity (AWRC) of 54.6 to 65.2%, Pelshenke values of 17 to 31 min, and sedimentation values of 19.6 to 30.8 mL. Peak viscosity range of Korean wheat flours measured by Rapid Visco Analyser was from 134.4 to 346.3 unit. Diameter of cookies fer US soft wheat flour was 7.8 cm and domestic wheat flours ranged from 7.2 to 7.9 cm. Cookie spread factors for Alchanmil, Tapdongmil, and Woorimil flours were higher than those of other flours. Protein content had significantly high correlation coefficient of $r=0.892^{**}$ with sedimentation value, and showed negative correlation with cookie diameter, spread factor, and top grain score. AWRC values had significantly high correlation coefficient of $r=-0.736^{**}$ with cookie diameter. Spread factor of cookie showed positive correlation with top grain score.

Physico-chemical characteristics of glutinuous rice during soaking treatment at different temperature for Yu-Kwa (Korean traditional glutinous rice cake) processing were determined. Crude fat and protein contents of soaked glutinous rice decreased up to 30% to 50%, respectively, compared to raw rice, but there was a little difference in soaking periods. As the soaking period increased pH of soaking solution was decreased from 6.4 to 3.3, while Brix was increased from 0.5 to 13.6. Titration acidity of soaking solution and soaked rice were increased to 22.9 and 3.4, respectively, as the soaking period increased to 9 days at $20^{\circ}C$ soaking, but it was increased rapidly to 29.8 and 4.0, respectively, at $30^{\circ}C$. The three kinds of free sugar such as glucose, sucrose and maltose were detected. Glucose was the major produced free sugar during soaking, sucrose was not detected after 1 day soaking period. Characteristics of amylographic viscosity on soaked rice showed that there are no difference in pasting temperature by the soaking time and temperature, but the maximum viscosity was drastically increased on $1{\sim}2\;day$ soaking period and decreased rapidly after $2{\sim}3\;day$.

Rice was steeped at elevated temperatures of $40,\;50,\;or\;60^{\circ}C$ for 2 hr, and physicochemical properties of starches isolated from wet-milled rice flour were investigated. Steeping at elevated temperatures slightly decreased lightness of rice starch, while increased yellowness and redness. Average granule size of rice starch was decreased by steeping treatment. Swelling power and solubility increased as temperature increased. Starch from rice steeped at $40^{\circ}C$ displayed highest swelling power and solubility. Differential scanning calorimetry data of starch obtained from steeped rice at $60^{\circ}C$ showed increased onset and peak temperatures, with narrower gelatinization temperature range, suggesting partial annealing effect. Pasting properties of starch measured by Rapid Visco-Analyzer indicated increased peak viscosity due to rice steeping at $40^{\circ}C$. Peak and breakdown viscosities decreased at $50\;and\;60^{\circ}C$, whereas setback and final viscosities increased.

Germination is a well-known economical technique that has been utilized to enhance the nutritional value of brown rice. Owing to its higher nutritive quality, germinated brown rice has received significant attention in the past decade. In this study, the physicochemical and cooking properties of specialty brown rice (SBR) were analyzed before and after germination. Germination enhanced cooking properties such as water absorption, expanded volume, and increased solid solubility of cooked SBR. The SBR texture measured using tensipresser, was significantly improved by germination. The hardness of cooked SBR was decreased by germination, but stickiness was increased. Pasting analysis of the SBR flours revealed a decrease in all viscosity values (peak viscosity, breakdown, setback, and final viscosity) after germination. However, the gelatinization temperature remains unchanged upon germination. Additionally, amylose content and amylopectin chain length distribution of SBR starch were slightly changed by germination. These results indicate that germination leads to a substantial improvement in the cooking properties and texture of SBR.
