This study was carried out to investigate the changes in the quality properties of red pepper Yukwa (red pepper liquid fermented with lactic acid bacteria was added to the Yukwa) during the storage period. To determine the shelf life of red pepper Yukwa, the rice Yukwa (control) and red pepper Yukwa were stored at 15, 25, and $35^{\circ}C$ for 70 days. Also, the quality properties of red pepper Yukwa, such as acid value, peroxide value, texture, color, and sensory evaluation were measured. Although the acid value of rice Yukwa and red pepper Yukwa increased during storage, the red pepper Yukwa showed a lower acid value score (1.09mg KOH/g) than that (1.19mg KOH/g) of the rice Yukwa. Nevertheless, these values did not exceed the guideline maximum values of 2.0 g KOH/g specified in the Korean Food Code. The peroxide values of samples had significantly increased after 42 days. Especially, the peroxide value scores for the rice Yukwa and red pepper Yukwa were the highest at 146.49 and 126.79 meq/kg at $35^{\circ}C$, respectively. Hardness and brittleness in textural properties increased up to 70 days. The sensory values for the red pepper Yukwa for overall acceptance, taste;texture and appearance were the highest. The results indicated that by using the 'Visual Shelf life Simulator for foods' of the Korea Food and Drug Administration (KFDA) the shelf life of red pepper Yukwa is estimated to be 274.78 days.

Gelatinization characteristics of pigmented rice varieties were determined in terms of amylose contents, amylograph, gel consistency, water absorption index (WAI) and water soluble index (WSI). Amylose contents of black and red rice were lower than those of brown rice, especially Sanghaehyanghyulla exhibited the lowest amylose contents among the pigmented rice varieties tested. There was no significant difference in WAI among the pigmented rice varieties, but WSI was lower in red rice than the others. Peak viscosity of black rice measured in a Brabender amylograph was lower than those of red and brown rice.

Red rice (Oryza sativa L.) is one of the most important weeds in most of rice cultivating area. Seed germination related experiments were done to evaluate germination percentage, emerging speed, and initial growth by seeding depth and soil moisture level. The four experiments, 1) temperature, 2) seeding depth, 3) soil moisture level, and 4) seeding position, were done with combination each other on phytotron for germination and seedling growth related experiments of redrice. The treatments levels were: 1) Temperatures were 20/15(Low), 25/20 (Mid.), $30/25{\circ}C$ (High), (day/night), 2) seeding depths were 0, 3, 6 cm, 3) soil moisture levels were 25, 35, 45, 55, 65% (VWC, %), and seeding position were furrow, ridge, ridge-top. The germination percentage and germination speed of red rice were higher and faster than Daeanbyeo in low temperature. Yoeongcheon redrice of seed germination percentage and seedling length was more vigor than Hapcheon red rice. Red rice was not germinated on 6 cm seeding depth until 11 days after seeding except high temperature treatment. Germination percentage increased with increasing soil water percentage in low temperature, however it was greatest in 45% in high soil moisture level between 25% to 65% in low temperature. Seed germination percentage and seedling length were not significantly different among the soil water level in mid- and high temperature levels. In conclusion, red rice could germinate in top soil (<6 cm) in mid- and high temperature range, so we might be control red rice by spraying herbicide after germination of red rice combined with delayed rotary cultivation.

This study investigates the quality characteristics and antioxidant activities of muffins prepared using various kinds of rice powder. Muffins were prepared by adding 50% white rice, black rice or red yeast rice powders, thereby replacing wheat flour in the basic formulation. Wheat flour muffins had the maximum height and volume. The lightness value of black rice and red yeast rice muffins was lower than that of the wheat flour muffins. Redness was the highest for red yeast rice muffins. The 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazy (DPPH) radical scavenging and superoxide dismutase (SOD)-like activities activity of black rice and red yeast rice muffins were higher than those of the wheat flour muffins. The 2,2'-azino-bis-(3-ethyl-benzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) radical scavenging activity of red yeast rice muffin was also higher than that of the wheat flour muffins. Thus, the black and red yeast rice powders can be effectively used as functional ingredients in bakeries due to their antioxidant activities.

Seven rice germplasms with red pigmentation within the pericarp were isolated from a large mutant collection. These red pericarp phenotypes resulted from the functions of the Rc, Rd and RdRc genes. Among them, two brown pericarp of the Rc type, four red pericarp of the RdRc type, and one white pericarp of the Rd type were identified. Morphological and agronomic characteristics of those rice germplasms were studied. The Rc type germplasms have the faint red or brown color pericarp and the Rd types produce the white pericarp, whereas the RdRc type germplasms have the dark red pericarp. Most of the important agronomic characteristics including plant stature, tillering ability, spikelet fertility, and total grain yield were lower in the colored rice than those of the wild-type control. All of the studied colored rice germplasms had a tendency of easy seed-shattering in comparison to the control. These characteristics of newly identified germplasms will be useful for identifying the genes responsible for pericarp color phenotype determination.

The composition of fatty acids, minerals, total dietary fiber and vitamin $B_1,\;B_2$, in pigmented rice varieties were determined. Proximate composition and color were also compared among pigmented rice varieties. Crude protein contents of black rice were higher than those of red and white rice, especially, C3GHi line had the highest protein content. There were no significant differences in lipid and crude ash contents between pigmented and white rice. Black rice showed lower Hunter value L and b value compared with red, green and white rice. But, Green rice showed lower Hunter value a compared with black rice. Green rice showed the higher contents in total dietary fiber, vitamin $B_1\;and\;B_2$ compared with white and black rice. The major fatty acids of pigmented rice were palmitic acid, oleic acid and linoleic acid. The contents of oleic acid was similar to that of linoleic acid in white rice. Oleic acid contents was lower than linoleic acid in black rice, but higher in red rice. Most mineral contents of pigmented rice except Fe, Zn and Mn were higher than those of white rice. Especially, Green rice had the highest mineral content.

This study was carried out to investigate the characteristics of shattering habit and germination of offtype rice plants collected in Korea which were classified into seven groups based on grain characteristics. In the long-grain red rice group, the short-grain red rice group, the long-grain normal rice group, and the long-grain waxy rice group, the tensile strength of grain and primary rachis branch was relatively low and the fiber cell of the primary rachis branch was short. Characteristics of shattering-related traits and germination in relation to grain and esterase isozyme zymogram type of off-type rice plants. In most lines of the extremely late and sterile rice group, the tensile strength of grain was low, while that of primary rachis branch was high, and the fiber cell was long. However, in the type 1 esterase isozyme zymogram(EIZ) lines among the long-grain normal rice group and the type 6 and 5+6 EIZ plants among the extremely late and sterile rice group, the tensile strength of grain was relatively higher. The long-grain waxy rice group and the type 3 EIZ lines among the long-grain red rice group, showed higher germinability than did cultivars which are known to germinate well even in low-temperature. The other off-type rice group, except for the short-grain waxy rice group and type 1 and 7 EIZ lines among the long-grain normal rice group, had higher germination speed than that of the cultivars.

Objective: An experiment was conducted to assess the antioxidant contents and activities of colored rice grains and to evaluate their nutritive characteristics in terms of chemical composition and in situ ruminal degradation. Methods: Ten cultivars of colored rice grains (Oryza sativa L.) collected from several areas of Japan were studied, and control rice without pigment, maize, barley, and wheat grains were used as control grains. Their chemical compositions, pigment, polyphenol contents, total antioxidant capacity (TAC), and degradation characteristics were determined. Results: The starch contents of the colored rice grains were in the range of 73.5% to 79.6%, similar to that of the control rice grain. The black and red rice grains contained anthocyanin (maximum: $5,045.6{\mu}g/g$) and proanthocyanidin (maximum: $3,060.6{\mu}g/g$) at high concentrations as their principal pigments, respectively. There were significantly (p<0.05) positive relationships among the pigment contents, polyphenol content, and TAC values in the colored and control rice grains, indicating that the increase in pigment contents also contributed to the increased polyphenol content and TAC values in the colored rice grains. The dry matter and starch degradation characteristics, as represented by c (fractional degradation rate of slowly degradable fraction) and by the effective degradability, of the colored rice grains and the control rice grain were ranked as follows among commonly used grains: wheat>barley${\geq}rice$>maize. The colored rice grains also included the most-digestible starch, since their potential degradable fraction and actual degradability at 48 h incubation were almost 100%. Conclusion: Colored rice grains have high potential to be used as antioxidant sources in addition to starch sources in ruminants.

This study was carried out to investigate the genetic segregations and characteristics of off-type rice plants collected in Korea which were classified into seven groups based on grain characteristics. In the analysis of esterase electrophoresis, the long-grain red group was classified as 1 and 3 esterase isozyme zymogram(EIZ), the long-grain normal group was classified as 1, 3 and 7 EIZ. The extremely late sterility group was segregated variously as 1, 2, 1+2, 5, 6, 5+6, 7,8 ,7+8 and 12 EIZ. The long-grain red rice lines with 1 EIZ had a longer culm length and a lower length/width ratio to brown rice than the long-grain red rice lines with 3 EIZ. The long-grain normal rice lines with 3 EIZ had a longer culm length, shorter panicle length, greater number of tillers, lower length/width ratio of brown rice, and fewer number of grains per panicle than did the long-grain red rice lines with 1 or 7 EIZ.
