The purpose of this study was to develop measures for establishing and enforcing legal nutrition labeling for Takju based on results from consumer awareness surveys, statistical model development, and evaluation of nutrients. The statistical model developed with consumer survey results showed that consumers would like to know the nutrients they intake from drinking Takju, as their awareness about Takju was low. Specifically, consumers would like to see information regarding alcohol content, calories, carbohydrates, and saccharides on the label. Structural equations from the research model showed that consumers who had some knowledge of Takju also had positive thoughts of the nutrition fact labels for Takju. Evaluation of nutrients in Takju showed that the starch sources and other ingredients used in Takju fermentation did not influence nutrient facts, and nutrient concentrations also varied among the different Takju. In addition, this research suggests methods for consumers to make reasonable selections and to inform them of the nutrition fact labeling for Takju. Benners and pop-up were manufactured to promote voluntary participation of companies and to provide nutrition facts from Takju. Eventually, a measure was suggested to establish and enforce nutrition labeling, using results from consumer and nutrient surveys of Takju.

Changes in food preferences and dietary habits of Korean prone to decrease consumption of the traditional energy source, rice. The exceeding condition of rice production in Korea is now not only impacting on the profit structure of farmers but also threatening food security. Although there have been several efforts to increase rice consumption rate, by developing various processed foods using rice flour, grain hardness of rice has been the most significant limiting factor. In this study, we addressed the suitability of the Namil(SA)-flo1, a mutant rice line has floury endosperm, in terms of producing rice flour by using dry-milling method, which is lower cost and more eco-friendly than other available methods such as wet-milling. Rice flour of the Namil(SA)-flo1 exhibited superior physico-chemical characteristics to any other check varieties including the wild type, Namil, in terms of distribution of granule sizes and content of damaged starch.

The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of the level of $CO_2$ (370 and $650{\mu}mol\;mol^{-1}$) and temperature (ambient and ambient+$5^{\circ}C$) on tomato growth and fruit characteristics as affected by the application rate of N-fertilizer (68 and $204\;N\;kg\;ha^{-1}$), for the purpose of evaluating the influence of elevated $CO_2$ and temperature on tomato crop. The elevated atmospheric $CO_2$ and temperature increased the plant height and stem diameter for tomato crop, while the differences among the nitrogen(N) application rates were not significantly different. Under the elevated $CO_2$, temperature, and a higher N application rate, the biomass of aerial part increased. The fruit yield showed the same result as the biomass except for the elevated temperature. The elevated temperature made the size of fruit move toward the small, but the elevated $CO_2$ and the application of N-fertilizer were vice versa. The sugar content and pH of fruit juice were affected by nitrogen application rate, but not by the elevated $CO_2$ and temperature. These results showed that both the elevated $CO_2$ and temperature stimulated the vegetative growth of aerial parts for tomato, but each effects on the yield of fruit showed an opposite result between the elevated temperature and $CO_2$. In conclusion, the elevated $CO_2$ increased tomato yield and the ratio of large size of fruit, but the elevated temperature did not. Therefore, to secure the productivity of tomato as nowadays in future environment, it will need to develop new breeder as high temperature-tolerable tomato species or new type of cropping systems.

Garaedduk made with various levels of buckwheat flour (0, 15, 30, and 45%) for rice flour was prepared using retrogradation-retardation technology and their physical and sensory properties were investigated. The moisture content of garaedduk decreased and the color differences increased as the ratio of buckwheat flour to rice flour increased. During storage at $4^{\circ}C$, the hardness values of garaedduk made with 15 and 30% buckwheat flour were maintained for up to three days. Immediately after manufacture, garaedduk made with higher levels of buckwheat flour had reduced overall acceptability. However, there was no significant difference in the overall acceptability of garaedduk made with 0 and 15% of buckwheat flour after storage. Therefore, buckwheat flour can replace rice flour with retrogradation-retardation technology to inhibit the starch retrogradation of garaedduk, which maintained its overall quality at a buckwheat flour level of 15%.

This study was performed to increase the yield and to reduce the processing times for the preparation to improve the productivity and quality of rice jochung, a traditional food in Korea. In order to evaluate the quality characteristics and yield of jochung, the viscosity, color value, mineral contents and the sensory evaluation were measured. Jochung is prepared from steamed rice (STR), wet-milled rice flour (WRF) and dry-milled rice flour (DRF) by processing methods of rice and reacting times (6 hours or 13 hours) of liquefaction and saccharification. There is commonly added liquefying enzyme for rice liquefaction (0.4%/10 kg rice, at $85{\sim}90^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour or 4 hours) and saccharogenic enzyme with malt (2.5% or 4.5%/10 kg rice, at $56{\sim}60^{\circ}C$ for 5 hours or 9 hours). The inner structural properties of WRF showed the more distinct shape regular structure of uncombined starch particles but the DRF closely maintained particles of rice flour observed by SEM. If processing times for liquefation and saccharification were reduced from 13 hours to 6 hours, the yield of jochungs prepared with WRF increased 8%, the DRF 7%, and the STR 3% respectively and the sensory evaluation as well as color values and overall desirability received high scores. The viscosity, color a and b values of jochung processed with WRF for 6 hours were lower than that processed for 13 hours. The viscosity and color a, b value and Ca content were decreased in the jochung processed with WRF or DRF for 6 hours, but Mg, P and K were increased than that of STR. Jochung processed by 0.4% liquefying enzyme and 2.5% malt with WRF for 6 hours will increase the yield, save manufacturing times and costs and will thereby enable cost-effective techniques.

The physicochemical properties of acorn and chestnut starches were investigated. The shape of two starches granules was the rounded trianglar and some elliptical, but that of chestnut was less rounded. Water binding capacity of acorn was 191% and that of chestnut was 200%. Gel volume of chestnut started to increase from $55^{\circ}C$, and was higher value in all temperature range. Amylose of chestnut starch was leached more than that of acorn to $90^{\circ}C$. and reversely from $90^{\circ}C$ to $100^{\circ}C$. The blue value and amylose content of acorn and chestnut starches were 0.464, 0.440 and 24.8%, 22.5 respectively. According to Brabender Amylogram, gelatinization temperature and peak. hot and cold viscosity were $68.5^{\circ}C$, 1010, 910, 1470 BU for acorn and $63.7^{\circ}C$, 1480, 1000, 1080 BU for chestnut. Peak temperature and gelatinization enthalpy were $67.0^{\circ}C$ 3.64 cal/g for acorn, and $66.0^{\circ}C$, 2.82 ca1/g for chestnut. X-ray diffraction patterns of two starches were A-types but chestnut had some B-type character.

Premature-green wheat is typically obtained by early harvest when culms of wheat still appear green in color, and the wheat and its food products have been considered as wellbeing foods. The pasting properties of prematured whole green wheat powder (WGWP), were analyzed with a rapid viscosity analyzer (RVA), and compared with commercial flours. The RVA values of lower peak viscosity and time, holding strength, final viscosity, as well as breakdown and setback viscosity showed that the WGWP could retard a gelatination of starch and also delay retrogradation in bakery products. WGWP with different levels of 10, 20, 30 or 50% was added into flours for preparing bakery product (bread, muffin and cookie), and their quality properties were evaluated. The addition of WGWP lead to a reduction in loaf volume of bread and muffin, and bakery products containing different levels of WGWP showed the changed internal surface structure (e.g. pore size) observed with a scanning electron microscope when compared with the control (0% WGWP). The hardness, gumminess, chewiness of bread and muffins were increased, and cohesiveness was decreased as the WGWP content increased, but the hardness of cookies was decreased. The bakery products added WGWP showed darker and more greenish and yellowish color than control (p<0.05). The sensory evaluation showed that bakeries with WGWP were scored to have more greenish taste and green color (p<0.05), and muffins and cookies with WGWP were evaluated to have more nutty and less oily taste (p<0.05).

In order to establish the optimum drying temperature of the heated air blast-grain circulation dryer, a 2 ton scale of paddy was used in this experiment. The temperatures of heated air used were 45, 50, 55, 60, 65 and $70^{\circ}C$. Moisture content of the paddy was reduced to 15% from 24% by drying. The higher air temperature, the shorter drying time and the less fuel consumed. The portion of cracked kernels was found to be low as $3{\sim}10%\;at\;40{\sim}55^{\circ}C$, but was very high to $28{\sim}30%\;at\;60{\sim}70^{\circ}C$. The germination percent was very high as 98 and 93% at 40 and $45^{\circ}C$, but it was decreased to 86 and 30% at 50 and $70^{\circ}C$, respectively. The recovery yield of milled rice from paddy was decreased by 1.76, 2.63 and 7.52% at 60, 65 and $70^{\circ}C$, respectively, compared with 75.86% as drying at $40^{\circ}C$. The higher heated air temperature, the less head rice of milled rice was recovered, and the decreased ratio was increased $60^{\circ}C$. The higher heated air temperature, the less alkali disintergation value and gel consistency of milled rice and the more water up take, expanded vlume, total solid in residual liquid and intensity of starch iodine blue value of residual liquid, and those tendency was found clear from $60^{\circ}C$ temperature of heated air.
