This study was aimed to develop a gruel using rice extrudates and to evaluate physicochemical properties of Tarakjuk (milk porridge; MP) prepared with milk (M) and rice powder (RP, control), rice extrudate (RE), or enzyme treated rice extrudates (ETR). Pasting property of ETR was significantly different from those of RP or RE with significantly low peak viscosity, breakdown and setback values in the ETR sample. Viscosity of MP prepared with ETR was also significantly low, as compared to that of control (> 900 cP). The total solids and spreadability of MP with ETR was higher than those with RP or RE. Hunter color values varied significantly depending on enzyme treatment levels in ETR samples with enzyme dose-dependent increase in b-value. Average starch digestibility of ETR sample was higher by 10.2% than that of control sample. DPPH radical scavenging activities of ETR samples were greater than those of RE or RP. These results indicated that ETR could be beneficial for preparing easy-drink and diet food with higher starch digestibility and fluidity, especially for gastric tube-fed patients.

This study aimed to investigate the germination characteristics of Saeilmi unhulled rice affected by different steeping (at 35℃) and germination (at 30℃) time. At first, the 24 h-germinated unhulled rice (GUR) were prepared by germination for 24 h after steeping for 8, 16, and 24 h. Next, the 24 h-steeped GURs were obtained by germination for 20, 24, 28, and 32 h after steeping for 24 h. Sprout lengths of GUR were more evenly distributed as steeping and germination time increased. Among 24 h-GURs, the thiamin, niacin, and GABA contents were the highest in 8 h-steeped GUR while the folate content was the highest in 24 h-steeped one. For 24 h-steeped GURs, their levels varied with germination time: the highest contents were observed in 24 h-GUR for the thiamin and the niacin contents (534.6 and 1,281.5 μg/100 g), in 32 h-GUR for folate (58.93 μg/100 g), and in 20 h-GUR for GABA (16.3 mg/100 g). The glucose content of GUR increased upto 7 times depending on the steeping and germination time: the highest level was observed in 20 h-GUR after 24 h-steeping. °Brix of saccharified solution prepared from GURs increased with germination time: the highest was observed in 28 h-GUR after 24-steeping. These results suggest that nutritional, functional, and saccharification properties of rice could be effectively improved by germination, especially with steeping for 24 h at 35℃ coupled with germination for 24 h at 30℃.

본 연구는 국민 영양평가 및 정책 수립에 근간이 되는 국가표준식품성분표 개정을 위해 농촌진흥청과 국립축산 과학원이 공동으로 국산 돈육의 대표 시료를 선정하고 부위별로 신뢰성이 확보된 vitamin B12 함량 데이터 구축을 위해 분석법 검증과 분석품질관리를 수행한 연구이다. Immunoaffinity-HPLC 분석법을 특이성, 직선성, 검출한계 및 정량한계, 정확성, 정밀성 등의 분석수행특성 지표를 이용하여 평가한 결과 모든 항목에서 AOAC 가이드라인 수용기준에 충족되는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 모든 시료 분석 시 in-house QC sample을 분석한 결과 QC chart의 관리한 계선 안에 포함이 되어 본 연구 기간 동안 수행된 모든 시료 분석이 관리하에 정확성과 정밀성을 나타내는 분석값 임을 확인할 수 있었다. 총 7개 primal cut과 이들로부터 세분화된 22개 retail cut의 vitamin B12 함량 분석 결과 주요 부위(평균 0.42-0.69 μg/100 g) 뿐만 아니라 같은 부위 안에 서도 세부 부위에 따라 vitamin B12 함량에서 차이가 나타났다. 특히, 삼겹살과 목심 부위에서 vitamin B12 함량이 높게 나타났으며 세부 부위에서는 삼겹살 부위의 토시살이 0.98 μg/100 g로 최고값을 보였고, 등심 부위의 알등심살과 뒷다리 부위의 홍두깨살이 0.33 μg/100 g으로 가장 낮은 수준을 나타냈다. Vitamin B12 함량은 돈육의 부위별 단백질 함량과는 유의적인 차이를 보였으나 지방 및 수분 함량과는 유의 적인 차이를 보이지 않았다. 본 연구에서 생산된 국내산 돈육의 부위별 vitamin B12 함량 데이터는 분석법 검증과 분석품질관리를 통하여 신뢰성이 확보된 데이터로 국가표 준식품성분표 개정에 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

함초를 기능성 식품소재로서 이용하기 위하여 함초 80% 에탄올 추출물로부터 Diaion HP-20 chromatography를 이용하여 조다당체 및 조사포닌을 분리 한 후 이들에 대한 항산화 효과, 암세포 성장억제효과, 비장세포 증식능 및 대식세포의 면역활성과 같은 생리활성을 조사하였다. 함초 조다당체 및 조사포닌 첨가군은 농도 이상에서 20% 이상의 수소공여능을 나타내었으며, 환원력도 농도 의존적으로 증가하였다. 조다당체 및 조사포닌은 농도

This study aims to determine the optimal picking time and the favorate variety for Ume processing. The changes of physicochemical components and flavors of 6 varieties of the Ume were investigated during maturing. Average weight of the fruit increased to the range of 151-292% from 70 days to 90 days after blooming. The hardness of fruit decreased during maturing and Koume variety was not suitable for processing among the last harvesting samples. Moisture and ash were reached to 89-91%, 0.57-0.69%, respectively, and the ash content increased during maturing. Among the Ume varieties, relatively high content of total acid was observed in Oshuku and Koume. The major organic acid were malic, citric, succinic, and tartaric acid. The content of malic acid decreased significantly, whereas citric acid increased during maturing. Thirty five kinds of flavor components were identified from the Ume fruit and main components were ethyl acetate, butyl acetate, and organic acid derivatives. Koume contained a large amount of flavor components among the Ume and the content increased during maturing.
