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.

The purpose of this study was to understand dietary culture of the Buddhist priesthood in Seoul and Kyongnam. This survey was carried out through questionnaries for menu, pretreatment, seasoning and recipe and the subjects were 26 temples and hermitages. Foods of the Buddhist priesthood were divided into staple food and side dish. The results of this study can be summarized as follow: 1. Staple foods of the Buddhist priesthood divided into cooked rice, gruel, noodle and Sujebi. Main materials of cooked rice and gruel were rice, noodle and Sujebi were wheat flour. Menues of staple foods were used white cooked rice, white gruel, wheat noodle and wheat Sujebi, respectively. Soups of noodle and Sujebi were used mushroom and seaweed. 2. Side dishes of the Buddhist priesthood divided into soup(국), stew(찌게), hard-boiled food(조림), steaming food(찜), raw vegetables(생채), cooked vegetables(나물), roast vegetables(볶음), pan fried food(전), baked(구이), wrapped rice(쌈), raw fish(회), Mook(묵). Vegetables divided into green-steam vegetables, edible roots, fruit vegetables, edible mountain herbs and seaweeds. A great difference of used for vegetables had been observed kinds of side dishes. Main materials of wrapped rice, raw fish and Mook was lettuce, raw mushroom and acorn, respectively. Seasonings were red pepper, garlic, green onion and sesame oil.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Emerging evidence shows that eating breakfast and breakfast types may be associated with health outcomes and dietary intakes in various populations. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between breakfast types in Korean adults with their daily nutrient intakes and health outcomes. SUBJECTS/METHODS: A total of 11,801 20- to 64-year-old adults (age $42.9{\pm}11.8$ yrs [$mean{\pm}standard$ error of the mean]; male 41.1%, female 58.9%) in 2007-2009 Korean National Health and Nutrition Survey data were divided into 5 groups based on breakfast types in a 24-hr dietary recall: rice with 3 or more side dishes (Rice3+, 35.3%), rice with 0-2 side dishes (Rice0-2, 34.73%), noodles (1.56%), bread and cereal (6.56%), and breakfast skipping (21.63%). Daily nutrient intakes and the risk of metabolic syndrome were compared among five groups. RESULTS: Compared with Korean Recommended Nutrient Intake levels, the breakfast-skipping group showed the lowest intake level in most nutrients, whereas the Rice3+ group showed the highest. Fat intake was higher in the bread and noodle groups than in the other groups. When compared with the Rice3+ group, the odds ratios for the risk of obesity and metabolic syndrome were increased in the breakfast skipping, Rice0-2, and noodle groups after controlling for confounding variables. CONCLUSIONS: The rice-based breakfast group showed better nutritional status and health outcomes when eating with 3 or more side dishes. Nutrition education is needed to emphasize both the potential advantage of the rice-based, traditional Korean diet in terms of nutritional content and the importance of food diversity.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the optimal amount of alkaline reagent (0.2 or 0.4%) and rice flour (10-40%) for noodle and supplementation, and compare quality characteristics with those of wheat noodles. Texture properties, pH, tension profiles, and cooking quality of noodles supplemented with rice flour and alkaline reagent were measured. Wheat noodles with 0.4% alkaline reagent added displayed increased b values (Hunter's color), pH, hardness, chewiness, tension profiles, and turbidity, and decreased L, and a values, gumminess, weight, and water absorption compared to wheat noodles with 0.2% alkaline reagent added. Hardness and springiness of wheat noodles with 0.4% alkaline reagent added were 35.2 and 0.0118 N, respectively. These values for rice doodles with 0.4% alkaline reagent and 20% rice flour were similar (36.3, 0.0117 N, respectively). This suggests that addition of 0.4% alkaline reagent and 20% rice flour may be the optimal parameters for producing rice noodle.

This study uses turbidity and rheological measurements to examine the effects of the molecular weight (MW), substitution type and substitution degree of cellulose ether and water content on the cooking characteristics of rice noodles, the turbidity of the cooking solution, and the compression strength of the cooked noodles. When increasing the MW of cellulose ether and water content, the turbidity decreased, thereby improving the morphological stability of the rice noodles during cooking. Thus, when controlling the above factors effectively, the rice noodle cooking solution had a lower turbidity than with wheat noodles. Measuring the compression strength of the rice noodles using a rheometer was also effective for examining the pasting characteristics of the rice noodles and texture changes during cooking. As a result, the water content and MW of cellulose ether were found to affect the pasting characteristics and texture of the rice noodles more than the other factors examined.

This study was undertaken to investigate the removal efficiency of heavy metals (Cd, Pb) in rice and wheat flour by cooking and processing. After four times washing of rice grains with water, the removal ratios of cadmium and lead from artificially-contaminated samples were 39.271 and 34.9%, respectively. In cookingof rice grains washed three-times with water, the residue levels of cadmium and lead decreased to 85.7%, 83.0% in electric rice cooker and 74.51%, 72.6% in pressure rice cooker, respectively. No significant difference was observed in the removal of the metals between naturally-contaminated and artificially contaminated rice samples, and between the electric and pressure rice cookers. In baking of artificially-contaminated wheat flour into cookie and loaf bread, the removal ratios of cadmium and lead were negligible as expected. When knife-cut noodle was made from artificially-contaminated wheat flour and boiled in water, 75% of the metals were found in the noodle solids and only 25% of them were removed into the broth.

'Saemimyeon' a Tongil-type rice variety (Indica ${\times}$ Japonica), which contains high amylose contents is suitable for rice noodle production. Nowadays, the major parts of rice processing industry that includes products like rice flour and noodles are expected to partially replace wheat flour market. The volume of rice noodle market is getting bigger and can contribute to the rice surplus and farmer's income. This study was carried out to promote productivity and flour-making quality of 'Saemimyeon' by finding the most suitable transplanting and harvesting times. The transplanting days used were May $10^{th}$, May $17^{th}$, May $24^{th}$, May $31^{th}$, June $7^{th}$ and June $14^{th}$ and the planting distance used was 30 x 12cm. In addition, harvesting time was determined by days after heading time (40, 45, 50, 55 and 60 days). The field experiment was conducted at the experimental field in Miryang (Southern plain area of Korea) from 2015 to 2016. Our results suggest that the optimum transplanting days were from May $24^{th}$ to May $31^{th}$ which resulted to an average yield of 748~751kg/10a. Interestingly, yield was sharply decreased below 700kg/10a before May $10^{th}$ and after June $7^{th}$. The average grain filling rate before May $31^{th}$ was more than 83% but it declined to 75% after June $7^{th}$. The average temperature ranges from heading time to harvesting time was $ 21\sim25^{\circ}C$ and the estimated optimal temperature was $23.4^{\circ}C$ which is similar to May $24^{th}$ by regression equation. We found that the optimal harvest time was 45~50 days after heading time. It is hypothesized that low temperature at seed maturation time caused the lower grain filling rate therefore 'Saemimyeon' need to be transplanted before May $31^{th}$ for higher productivity. We found no statistical variation in amylose contents among experimental plots (28.2~30.4%). We conclude that the productivity of 'Saemimyeon' highly depends on temperature that is critical for grain filling stage controlled by transplanting time.

This study was carried on the preferences for food intake pattern of Korean industrial workers. The survey was conducted from Feb 17, to March 31, 1992 by questionnaires which was composed of 21 items. The subjects of this study were composed of 426 clerical workers, and 439 physical workers. The results were obtained as follows. 1. In the educational background, clerical workers was almost of highschool or collage graduates, and physical workers was almost of highschool graduates. Marginal food cost of per person for lunch a day was from 500 Won to 1,000 Won. They replied that amount of staple food and side dishes were appropriate, and the type of preferable foods was Korean style cooked rice. Also it was known that physical workers thought their nutritive condition more badly than that of clerical workers. So the physical workers considered their health very much when they had meal. It was represented that unbalanced diet, without diet and drinking alcohol effected badly to food intake and taste of food was the most important point in food intake. 2. Preferences for staple foods; Cooked rice was preferred the most by the subjects. Cooked rice with redbean was preferred by clerical workers and cooked rice with soybean was preferred by physical workers and cooked rice with soybean was preferred by physical workers. Also clerical and physical workers liked Kalkooksoo (hot noodle), Nangmyun (cold noodle), bread, vegetable bread and disliked Sphagetti, Ramyun (Instant noodle) in same rate. In the next, cooked rice covered with raw fish pieces (Sushi) was preferred by clerical workers and Mandu-kook was preferred by physical workers. Also they disliked Curriedrice and Hashrice in same pattern. 3. Preference for side-dishes; The Acceptances for side-dishes were high soybean paste soup (clerical workers:43.7%, physical workers:34.4%), Kim chi stew, fried potatoes, crab steaming (37.8%, 36.9%), broiled fish (34.6%, 33.9%), fried green pepper, Ham, Chinese cabbage Kim chi, and pickled garlic by clerical and physical workers all together. But in clerical workers, Wooghugi beef-rib tang, Deodeok muchim, spinach namul, beef jangjeorim, fried shrimp were shown to have high preference in physical workers, beef-rib tang, wild onion and shepherd's purses muchim, soybean sprout, fish jeorim, fried sweet potatoes were high preference. 4. Preference of Snacks; The preferences for snacks were high in strawberry (clerical:36.3%, physical:34.3%), milk (49.9%, 44.4%), waxy rice Doek (30.7%, 30.2%), coffee (40.1%, 38.9%) by two groups in same order.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the quality characteristics of instant rice noodles made from rice flour with different harvest times rice processed products. The physicochemical characteristics of three different types of rice flour were investigated, including common rice flour (CRF, harvested in 2012), stored rice flour (SRF, harvested in 2008) and CSRF (CRF mixed with SRF). Instant rice noodles were manufactured with the three types of rice flour, and their quality and sensory characteristics were investigated. The water-binding capacity of rice flour was highest in CSRF. Regarding setback on RVA pasting viscosity, SRF and CSRF showed higher values than CRF. Water absorption after cooking of instant rice noodles was highest in common rice noodles (CON). The volume after cooking of instant rice noodles increased in rice noodles with stored rice flour (SRN). Turbidity of rice noodles using CSRF (CSRN) was higher value than that of CON. In texture properties, CON displayed the highest hardness, adhesiveness, springiness, and chewiness. In the sensory evaluation, overall acceptability values of CON were significantly higher than those of other rice noodles (SRN and CSRN). It was concluded that rice noodles with stored rice flour have increased turbidity with reduced texture and overall preference. This study suggests that addition of CRF may result in significantly increased overall quality of instant rice noodles prepared by SRF.
