Physical properties of Yukwa base extruded with glutinous rice flour, rice flour, defatted soy flour, and salt using an twin-screw extruder were investigated. The ingredients were extruded at various moisture contents (16-18%), screw speeds (300 & 400 rpm) at 43.4 kg/hr feed rate. Length and specific volume of Yukwa base increased with decreasing moisture contents. Hunter's color L* values of Yukwa base was higher whereas $a^*\;and\;b^*$ values were lower with increasing moisture content. Water absorption index of Yukwa base increased with increasing moisture contents. X-ray diffraction of Yukwa base showed B type moisture content of 16% and 17% while it showed A type moisture content of 18%. Degree of crystallinity and breaking strength of Yukwa base were the lowest in the moisture content of 16% while the lowest value for hardness was found in the moisture content of 16% and of 17% with screw speed 400 rpm for all samples. In the microstructure of cross section of Yukwa base, air cell size was larger and cell wall was thicker as moisture content increased. The sensory evaluation of the Yukwa base showed that color and flavor were not significantly different among samples, while taste, appearance, mouth feel, and overall preference were higher as moisture contents decreased.

The purpose of this study was to develop Zingiber officinale Roscoe powder(ginger powder) sweet rice muffins. The process included substituting sweet rice flour for cake flour and adding ginger powder. The mixing conditions for the ginger powder sweet rice muffins were a control and three levels of ginger powder (A), whole egg (B), and soybean oil (C) using central composite design, and were optimized by response surface methodology. The optimization was analyzed with regard to physical, textural, and sensory properties. Among the sensory properties, variables that appeared to show significant values, such as appearance, flavor, softness and overall quality were used to identify optimums. The numerical and graphical methods used in this study determined that the optimum formulation for ginger powder sweet rice muffins was 8.39 g of ginger powder, 215.37 g of whole egg, and 54.40 g of soybean oil. Ginger increases appetite, enhances metabolism and reduces the speed of aging. These health advantages of ginger provide evidences that ginger powder sweet rice muffins are a good healthy snack, particularly for the elderly.

To develop the high quality gluten-free rice products with health functionality and desirable texture with moistness, the physicochemical properties of extruded rice flours prepared from the mixture of germinated brown and white rices were investigated. The domestic organic Samgwangbyeo was used to make white and germinated brown rices. White rice (WR) was dried after soaked for 6 h at $15{\pm}3^{\circ}C$ and mixed with germinated brown rice (GBR) with different mixing ratios (100:0, 75:25, 50:50, 25:75, 0:100). The operating conditions of twin screw extruder were 250 rpm of screw speed, $120^{\circ}C$ of barrel temperature, and 25% moisture content of rice flour. The ash, crude protein and crude lipid contents were significantly different (p<0.05) and those of extruded GBR were the highest values, but those of extruded WR were the lowest. The color difference of extruded WR based on white plate showed the lowest among them. The water binding capacity (334.16%), swelling power (8.83 g/g), solubility (33.13%), and total starch (79.50%) were the lowest in extruded GBR. The viscosities of all extruded rice flours by RVA were maintained during heating. The peak and total setback viscosities of extruded rice flours ranged 127-352 and 58.0-85.5 cP, respectively. The novel food biomaterial from germinated brown rice as well as white rice was developed by twin screw extruder. The extruded rice flours control the moistness to improve the texture and also have functional materials, dietary fiber, GABA, and ferulic acid, etc to increase quality of gluten free rice products.

The texture and descriptive sensory characteristics of a Korean rice cake(Karedduk) with added emulsifier were investigated after 2 and 24 hrs of storage at $5^{\circ}C$. The emulsifier, SP, was added at 0, 0.1, 0.5 and 1% levels to the dry rice flour. In the amylogram, the peak viscosity(P), hot paste viscosity(H) and cold paste viscosity(C) of the rice flour with added emulsifier were higher than those of the control. The texture property analysis by a Texture Analyzer revealed that the springiness, cohesiveness and adhesiveness of the Korean rice cake(Karedduk) with added emulsifier were similar to those of the control, while chewiness, gumminess and hardness were lower compared to the control. Also, the hardness by sensory characteristics was significantly different as compared to the control. Lastly, adding emulsifier to the Korean rice cake(Karedduk) was effective at retarding retrogradation.

The effects of pregelatinized rice flour (PRF) as an additive on the textural properties of rice cookies were investigated in this study. PRF was used at 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, and 60% per 100 g of rice flour. The hardness of dough and cookies, as measured by a texture analyzer, increased upon the addition of PRF. In contrast, the moisture content of the dough and cookies decreased upon the addition of PRF. The L value of the dough and cookies decreased upon the addition of PRF, whereas the a value increased upon the addition of PRF. The bulk density of the cookies increased upon the addition of PRF. In addition, the spreadability of the cookies was lower than the control. In the sensory evaluation, rice cookies with 50% PRF showed the highest scores for hardness, brittleness, softness, and moisture. Rice cookies with 60% PRF showed the highest scores for sandiness. Our results suggest that the texture of the rice cookies can be improved by adding PRF.

Changes were evaluated in chemical and textural properties of Jeung-pyun (fermented rice cake) altered by the particle size of rice flour, amount of added Tak-ju (Korean traditional unrefined liquor) and sucrose, fermentation time and temperature, and steaming time. Particle size of polished rice flour did not affect the volume expansion during fermentation of rice dough by Tak-ju. The maximum expanded volume was noted in the dough, containing 20% sucrose (rice flour vs sucrose = 5 : 1, w/w), fermented at $35^{\circ}C$ for 3 hours. Any volume expansion was not occurred in rice dough without sucrose. The highest value of reducing power and gelatinization degree were observed in the rice dough with Tak-ju (rice flour vs Tak-ju = 2 : 1, w/v), while the lowest blue value was revealed in that case. Steaming followed after fermentation made the smaller volume of bulk by $45{\sim}50%$ of the initial volume be showed just after fermentation. Jeung-pyun prepared under the conditions could give maximum expanded volume by fermentation showed the best overall quality by sensory and textual properties.

To investigate physicochemical and cooking properties of parboiled rice, choochung paddy processed to parboiled rice by three methods (PL, PT, PA) milled and examined hydration, cooking qualities and firming rate of cooked parboiled rice. The results were obtained as follows. The longer the steaming time during parboiling the larger EMC of soaked parboiled rice. Water uptake rate constants (k) of all the parboiled rice during soaking except for PT rice were generally increased than those of raw rice. The longer the steaming time during parboiling the greater volume increase rate constants ( $k_{v}$) of parboiled rice samples. The glelatinization temperature of parboiled rice flour by DSC was more increased than that of raw rice flour. Gelatinized entalpy was decreased and gelatinization content (%SG: degree of starch gelatinization) was increased by parboiling process. In cooking tests, parboiled rices were harder than raw rice and softness (reciprocal of hardness) was greater PT30, PA, PL30 in turns the cooking time of the parboiled rice took longer 3-10 min than that of raw rice, PL30 took longer time than anyother rices. Cooking water of parboiled rices could be observed lighter turbidities than that of raw rice. Firming rate constants of cooked rice during storage 24 hours were generally decreased by parboiling-processing. The time constants, reciprocal of firming constants of cooked PL30 rice were 2 times slower than those of cooked raw rice.e.

In order to sterilize Bacillus cereus and Enterobacter sakazakii in rice flour, hot-air drying ($65^{\circ}C$/15 min, HT) and microwave drying (700 watt/30 sec, MT) treatments were evaluated and a storage study performed. Color changes (${\Delta}E$) appeared to be less in the MT rice flour than in HT treated rice flour. The effectiveness of the MT treatment showed reduced growth rates for B. cereus (0.54 log CFU/g) and E. sakazakii (1.45 log CFU/g). The populations of B. cereus in the control (NT) rice flour greatly increased during storage at 4, 10 and $20^{\circ}C$ as storage times increased. However, the growth of B. cereus was minimized in the MT rice flour. In conclusion, MT treatment is considered to be a good drying method when substituted for HT treatment to assure microbial safety in rice flour.

In this study, we investigated the quality and antioxidant activity of wet noodles fortified by adding brown rice and sorghum powders. Wet noodles were divided into four groups: WN-p (wheat flour 100%, purified salt 2%), WBN-b (wheat flour 80%, brown rice powder 20%, bamboo salt (${\times}1$) 2%), WBSN-b (wheat flour 80%, brown rice powder 10%, sorghum powder 10%, bamboo salt (${\times}1$) 2%), and WSN-b (wheat flour 80%, sorghum powder 20%, bamboo salt (${\times}1$) 2%). The wet noodles were evaluated for their quality characteristics and capacities to scavenge free radicals. The weight, volume, capacity to absorb water, and turbidity of cooked WBSN-b were close to those of cooked WN-p. Springiness, cohesiveness, and chewiness of cooked WBSN-b were the highest among all cooked noodles added with brown rice or sorghum powders and textural properties of cooked WBSN-b were not significantly different from WN-P. In the sensory evaluation, the overall acceptance of WBSN-b received the highest score of 6.4 points, which was higher than the score for WN-p. DPPH and hydroxyl radical scavenging activities increased significantly with addition of brown rice and sorghum powder, and radical scavenging activities of WBSN-b and WSN-b were the highest. In conclusion, wet noodles added with 10% brown rice powder, 10% sorghum powder, and 2% bamboo salt (${\times}1$) exhibited the same quality properties of WN-p. Addition of 10% brown rice powder, 10% sorghum powder, and 2% bamboo salt (${\times}1$) increased the sensory and antioxidant activities of wheat flour noodles.

This study was performed to evaluate the physicochemical, sensory evaluation of Backsulgi changed with germinated brown rice flour(GBRF) at different ratio. Moisture content decreased gently during storage and the decrease was less in GBRF-added groups than the control group. The color L value decreased significantly by with increasing the GBRF, wherease the redness(a) and yellowness(b) were both increased. As the result of measurement with texture analyzer, hardness, gumminess, chewiness, adhesiveness and fracturability of Backsulgi tended to decrease in proportion to the amount of GBRF in the formula. The thermal properties of Backsulgi were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry(DSC). Onset temperature and peak temperature of gelatinizatino in thermal characteristics showed low in case of addition of GBRF into Backsulgi. All samples changed with GBRF had low values in change of melting enthalphy. In the sensory evaluation, Backsulgi with GBRF were superior in flavor, cohesiveness, hardness, chewiness and moistureness than that of control. And Backsulgi with 20% GBRF showed the highest score in overall acceptability. Therefore we concluded that the addition of GBRF on Backsulgi improve the sensory characteristics as well as delay the retrogradation.
