Since maize (Zea mays L.) originated in central and south America, it requires warm climate conditions throughout its growing season. Growth halts when night-time temperatures drop below 10℃, and the plant may die if temperature reach -1.7℃. Thus, temperature should be maintained between 10 and 30℃ from seeding to maturity. The germination temperature for maize should be at least 8-11℃, whit an optimal range 32-34℃. Since temperature significantly affects the germination rate and period, it plays a crucial role in maize growth. In this study, we evaluated the quantity and feed value of 11 major varieties to determine those best suited for maize cultivation as feed in higher latitude, specifically in Democratic People’s of Republic of Korea, below 38 degrees north. A cultivation test was also conducted in Suwon in Republic of Korea, to assess adaptability in areas south of Mt. Suyang. Among the varieties tested, Shinhwangok2 reached silking the fastest, in 65 days, while Gwangpyeongok took the longest at 75 days. The stem length of all varieties exceeded 230 cm. Gwangpyeongok had the tallest stems, while Daanok and Shinhwangok2ho displayed the highest ear ratios. Dacheongok presented the highest values in both dry matter and TDN quantity, with 31,420 kg/ha and 21,66 kg/ha respectively. Pyeonggangok had the highest crude protein content at 8.0%. TDN (%) ranged from 57-68%, with Hwangdaok reaching up to 68%. Based on these findings, Dacheongok and Pyeonggangok appear to be the most suitable varieties for cultivation in terms of both quantity and feed value.

본 연구는 최근 소비가 크게 증가하고 있는 가정간편식의 원료에 대한 모니터링을 수행하였다. 다양한 유형의 가정간편식 제품을 구입하여 112개 원료의 DNA 바코드를 분석하였다. 원재료의 종을 동정하기 위하여 DNA 바코드 증폭에 주로 이용되는 미토콘드리아의 16S ribosomal RNA 유전자 부위를 증폭하는 프라이머 세트를 이용하였다. PCR 산물은 정제하여 염기서열을 분석한 후, 이를 이용하여 미국국립보건원에서 제공하는 BLAST search를 수행하였다. GenBank에 등록되어 있는 종의 염기서열과 유사도(Identity) 와 매치 점수(Match score)를 비교하여 원료의 종을 판별 하였다. 112개의 원료에서 24개의 종(Species)과 3개의 속(Genus)를 동정하였다. 3개의 속은 Identity의 기준이 되는 98% 이내에 해당하는 종이 다수 존재하여 속 수준에서 판별하였다. 판별 결과를「식품의 기준 및 규격(제2019-57 호)」중 ‘(별표 1) 사용할 수 있는 원료 목록’에서 제시하는 사용 가능한 원료와 비교하여 국명 및 섭취 가능 여부를 판단하였으며, 등재되어 있지 않은 6개 종은 국제적으로 공인된 기구에서 어획량에 대한 정보를 확인하고, 식용 근거, 학명·이명 등을 확인하여 식용 가능 여부를 판단 하였다.

The objective of this study was to evaluate quality properties of high quality rice. Seven rice varieties, Dabo, Daebo, Samkwang, Sindongjin, Sukwang, Jinsumi, and Haiami, were investigated for proximate contents and physicochemical characteristics. Moisture content was highest in the Jinsumi (13.13%). Protein and lipid content was highest in the Haiami. The amylose content of the rice cultivars was 20.15~22.51%. The degree of amylopectin polymerization (DP) was analyzed, and in all cultivars, DP 13-24 content was found to be highest, at more than 53%, whereas DP ≥37 content was lowest, at less than 5.81%. With regard to free sugar, maltose content in rice was the highest (≥46%). Toyo value of rice was highest in Samkwang, Daebo, and Jimsumi. Palatability characteristics were highest in Daebo and Jimsumi. Thus, the results of this study suggested that Samkwang, Daebo, and Jinsumi can be effectively used as processed cooked rice, though further studies should be required regarding changes in the quality of rice after cooking.

During the harvest season, drying and storage facilities at Rice Processing Complexes (RPCs) are not enough to manage all the harvested rice, which causes quality deterioration and decomposition. Also, rice export is being limited due to the high cost of long-term storage for shipping. This study was conducted to investigate the germination rate, fat acidity and lipoxygenase activity of brown rice after storage of 3, 6, 9 and 12 months at 25oC and 35oC with 22 Korean and 2 Japanese varieties. Germination rate of rough rice was decreased to 72% after storage of 9 months at 25°C and decreased to 35 and 33% after 3 and 6 months at 25°C, respectively. Fat acidity was increased according to storage periods and increasing level was higher at 35°C than at 25°C. Lipoxygenase activity was decreased according to storage periods and decreasing level was higher at 35°C than at 25°C. Although the protein content was not significantly different according to the storage period at both 25 and 35°C, significant difference existed among cultivars. Amylose content was increased until 6 months at both 25 and 35°C, but decreased after 9 months. Fat acidity and protein content were negatively correlated with amylose content, while amylose content was positively correlated with lipoxygenase activity after 12 months at 25°C. Germination rate was negatively correlated with fat acidity and protein content, while fat acidity was positively correlated with protein content and negatively correlated with amylose content and lipoxygenase activity after 6 months at 35°C. 24 varieties were classified into 3 groups on the basis of germination rate, fat acidity and lipoxygenase activity after 12 months at 25°C and 6 months at 35°C. Group I including 8 varieties of Koshihikari showed higher germination rate, lower fat acidity than Group II including 11 varieties of Nampyeongbyeo.. Honong and Jinbaek. Hopyeongbyeo and Hopum showed higher germination rate, lower fat acidity at 35°C than 25°C, while Hwanggeumnuri showed higher germination rate, lower fat acidity at 25°C than 35°C.

We synthesized potassium hexatitanate, (K2Ti6O13, PT6), with a non-fibrous shape, by acid leaching and subsequent thermal treatment of potassium tetratitanate (K2Ti4O9, PT4), with layered crystal structure. By controlling nucleation and growth of PT4 crystals, we obtained splinter-type crystals of PT6 with increased width and reduced thickness. The optimal holding temperature for the layered PT4 was found to be ~920 oC. The length and width of the PT4 crystals were increased when the nucleation and growth time were increased. After a proton exchange reaction using aqueous 0.3 M HCl solution, and subsequent heat treatment at 850 oC, the PT4 crystal transformed into splinter-type PT6 crystals. The frictional characteristics of the friction materials show that as the particle size of PT6 increases, the coefficient of friction (COF) and wear amounts of both the friction materials and counter disc increase.

This study was carried out to investigate the present status of Korean rice export, and the feasibility of increasing exports as a countermeasure for rice surpluses. The medium to long term outlook for rice supply and demand in Korea is for an ongoing rice surplus, as a result of a decline in annual rice consumption per capita and continuing rice imports to satisfy MMA requirements. To investigate the present status of rice exports, information was collected from Korea Agro-Fisheries & Food Trade Corporation, trading companies and a number of Korean domestic Rice Processing Complexes(RPC). Further data were obtained from consumers, buyers, and sellers in various countries including Australia, New Zealand, Germany, Netherlands, and Hong-Kong. Through the investigation, key problems of rice exports turn out to be the lack of price competitiveness, quality deterioration during the relatively long periods of handling, transportation and selling, lack of public perception of Korean rice, and the relatively small scale of export enterprises, distribution networks and sellers. On the positive side, Korean rice exports have significant advantages in safety and quality, and future price competitiveness will increase as the international rice price rises, in particular with a degree of government support for distribution costs. The development of new markets will further improve the prospects for Korean rice exports. We suggest the development of a technical center for the promotion and expansion of Korean rice exports, helping to formulate mid-long term government policy support, providing research into minimizing rice quality changes during transit, together with education programs increasing the focus on expanding Korean rice exports. The results of this study will provide valuable information and strategies for increasing rice exports and strengthening the competitiveness of the Korean rice industry.

우리나라 자연환경에 적응하는 내염성 자포니카 벼 품종 육성을 위하여 내염성 인디카 계통 IR73571-3B-11-3-K2에 자포니카 품종 서간벼를 모본으로 한 단교배과 여교배 집단을 육성하여 주요 농업형질 및 내염성 정도를 검정한 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 자포니카 서간벼를 여교배한 집단은 단교배 집단에 비해 간장은 크고, 수장은 감소하였고, 수수는 증가하였으며 수당립수는 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 유묘 내염성 정도는 여교배 집단의 평균이 6.7로 단교배 보다 0.6 감소하였다. 2. 두 집단에 출수 전 20일간 0.3% 염농도를 처리한 결과 여교배 집단에서 유묘내염성은 감소하였으나 초형 및 현미 장폭비 등 생태형 개선 계통이 더 많이 분포하였다. 3. 두 집단의 성체검정에서 등숙기 10주 수량은 단교배 집단에서 100 ~ 150 g을 중심으로 정규분포를 보였고, 여교배 집단은 100 g 이하에 편의 분포하였는데 이는 여교배에 의한 집단 내 자포니카 유전적 배경이 증가함으로써 인디카로 유전적 요인이 낮아진 결과로 생각된다. 4. 유묘내염성 정도는 단교배 집단에서 내염성 정도가 5 ~ 7에 전체 86%의 계통이 분포하였고, 14계통(8%)은 유묘내염성이 강했다. 여교배 집단에서 74% 계통이 유묘내염성이 약했고, 8계통(4%)은 강한 내염성을 나타냈다. 이들 결과는 자포니카 내염성 관련 유전적 요인을 도입하기 위해 특성별 단계적 접근이 필요하며 여교배육종법을 이용함으로써 육종효율을 높일 수 있을 것으로 판단되었다.
