국산자원의 활용방안의 하나로 율무가루와 밀가루의 복합분으로 제면을 시도하여 조리시험, 색도 및 관능검사를 통하여 알아본 결과는 다음과 같다. 조리시험에서는 율무가루의 배합비가 증가할수록 조리면의 중량, 부피 및 흡광도가 약간씩 증가되었으나 40% 율무가루가 첨가될 때까지는 밀가루 면과의 큰 차이를 보이지 않았다. 조리면의 색차(ΔE)가 밀가루 면과의 비교에서는 appreciable 이상으로 나타났다. 관능검사의 경우 색도는 30% 율무가루 첨가구까지 밀가루 면과 유의차가 없었으나 조직감에서는 율무가루 10% 첨가구만이 유의차가 없었다.

The condition and management of land resources has become an increasing matter of concern in recent years, because of the pressure placed upon land for agricultural use by expanding populations and economic development. Pressures upon land quality can lead to various forms of land degradation, such as in soil erosion, soil fertility decline, adverse changes in water resources, salinization of irrigated areas, or decline in the biological condition of forests or rangelands. In 1992, World Bank estimates that the cost of degraded areas has been estimated as 10-50 times higher than that of measures to prevent degradation. Based upon a survey interviewed with people living in rural areas, the present study argue that it is important to establish policies for preventing changes in agricultural land use, to provide early warning of adverse trends and identification of problem areas. The present study also stresses that stewardship of agricultural land resources plays a leading role in achieving sustainable rural development not to mention agricultural and forestry production.
