본 연구는 벼의 함수율 및 온도별 안전저장기간을 구명하기 위하여 수행되었다. 벼의 함수율은 16.1∼22.2%범위에서 4수준, 온도는 10∼3에서 3수준으로 저장하면서 외관, 발아율, 지방산가를 측정하였고, 안전저장기간의 온도 및 함수율 의존성을 분석하였다. 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 벼의 발아율은 저장온도가 증가할수록, 함수율이 높을수록 급격하게 저하한 반면, 지방산가는 저장기간에 따라 증가하였으나 온도보다는 함수율에 의한 영향이 크게

This study was conducted to analyze the quality characteristics depending on moisture contents and storage temperatures of paddy, and to predict safe storage period for paddy. Germination rate, fat acidity and appearance of paddy samples with different moisture contents of 16.1%, 17.7%, 20.6%, and 22.2% stored at different temperature rooms of 10, 20, and 30 were measured as factors of safe storage period. Germination rate of paddy was decreased with increasing of storage temperature and moisture content. And both fatty acidity of paddy and the ratios of colored and contaminated kernels were increased with increasing of storage temperature and moisture content. Safe storage period was determined based on germination rate, fat acidity and appearance depending on storage time, temperature and moisture content of paddy. Paddy with 16% moisture content could be safely stored for 1.5 years at least at 10.
