벼 품종간 쌀 취반특성의 변이를 구명하여 비슷한 취반특성을 가진 품종군을 분류하고 쌀의 취반특성과 이화학적 특성간의 관계를 검토한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1, 메벼 품종과 찰벼 품종은 밥물의 요드정색도에서 차이가 크게 났으며, 메벼, 찰벼 모두 요드정색도와 용출고형물량에서 품종간 변이가 크게 났다. 2. 메벼 품종을 국내육성종, 한국재래종 및 외래도로 구분하여 취반특성을 비교한 결과 팽창률, 요드정색도 및 용출고형물량의 평균치에서 차이가 났다. 3. 취반특성을 이용한 주성분분식에서 제1및 제2주성분치상 분포에서 취반특성이 비슷한 메벼 품종들은 <장안벼·서안벼>, <진미벼·일품벼·대성벼>, <서해벼·남원벼 ·영덕벼>, <추청벼·봉광벼>, <오대벼·금오벼>, <화청벼·동해벼·팔공벼>등이었다. 4. 취반특성이 비슷한 찰벼 품종들은 <농림나001·수원357호·조도·인부지나도>, <삼남밭벼 ·적도>, <무주도·Daigol mochi>, <대골도(찰)·진도(찰)>, <진부찰벼·대골도(유색)>, <신선찰벼·Hung-Tsan>, <아구도·이락도>등이었다. 5. 메벼 품종의 팽창률은 상온 수분흡수율과 정의 상관이 성립되었으며, 요드정색도는 용출고형물량과 부의 상관, 아밀로스함량과는 정의 상관을 각각 나타내었다 찰벼 품종의 팽창률은 요드정색도, 용출고형물량 및 호응집성과는 각각 정의 상관을 나타내었으며, 요드정색도와 알칼리붕괴도 간에는 정의 상관이 인정되었다.
Cooking characteristics of ninety five non-glutinous and twenty six glutinous varieties were checked for understanding the varietal variation and interrelationship between the cooking and physicochemical properties of rice grain. The greatest variation in non-glutinous and glutinous rice varieties was observed in iodine blue value and the next large variation was recognized in amount of soluble solid in cooking water. Average values of volume expansion rate, iodine blue value and amounts of soluble solid in cooking water were different among domestic-bred japonica, Korean local and foreign rice varieties. Korean-bred japonica rice cultivars can be classified into several groups having same cooking quality such as <Jangan.·Seoan>, <Jinmi·Ilpum· Daeseong>, <Seohae·Namwon·Yeongduk>, <Chucheong·Bongkwang>, <Odae·Keumo> and <Hwacheong·Donghae·Palgong> by the distribution on the plane of 1st and 2nd principal components contracted from four cooking characteristics. Glutinous rice cultivars can be grouped into several different cooking quality types such as <Nonglimna 1·Suwon 357·Jodo·Inbujinado>, <Sangnambatbyeo·Jeokdo>, <Mujudo·Daigol-mochi>, <Daegoldo·Jindo>, <Jinbuchal·Colored Daegoldo>, <Shinseonchal·Hung-Tsan> and <Agudo·Irakdo> by the same analysis. Positive correlation was found between volume expansion rate and water absorption rate at 21℃. Iodine blue value was correlated negatively with amounts of soluble solid, and positively with amylose content in non-glutinous rices. In glutinous rices volume expansion rate showed positive relationship with iodine blue value, amounts of soluble solid and gel consistency. Iodine blue value was also positively correlated with alkali digestion value in glutinous rice.
