This study investigated the bread-making properties of rice bread supplemented with HPMC (hydroxypropyl methylcellulose) 1~3% and gluzyme (glucose oxidase), fungamyl (fungal α-amylase) and pentopan (xylanase+ hemicellulases) (0.0015~0.0090%). The viscoelastic properties of the dough with HPMC 1~3% were analyzed. When the rice flour was supplemented with HPMC 1~3%, the viscoelastic properties of the dough tended to increase as the amount of added HPMC was increased. The physicochemical characteristics of the rice bread with HPMC, gluzyme, fungamyl, and pentopan were analyzed. Supplementing the rice flour with HPMC, gluzyme, fungamyl, and pentopan had a significant effect on the volume (p<0.01) and specific volume (p<0.001) of the rice bread. Supplementing the rice flour with 3% HPMC and 0.0045% or 0.0090% pentopan had a significant effect on increasing the volume (p<0.01) and specific volume (p<0.001) of the rice bread. Supplementing the rice flour with 3% HPMC, 0.0023% gluzyme and 0.0015% fungamyl had a significant effect on increasing the volume (p<0.01) and specific volume (p<0.001) of the rice bread. These results suggest that supplementing the rice flour with HPMC, gluzyme, fungamyl and pentopan is effective for the production of rice bread.

This paper investigated the effects of the percentages of yeast and fermentation time as well as the top and bottom temperature of oven on the baking properties of rice bread. The specific volume of the dough decreased as the amount of added yeast and fermentation time increased. When 1.5% yeast was added at 60 min of fermentation time, the shape of the rice bread showed the largest volume, high appearance and a round shape. The top and bottom temperature of the oven on the baking characteristics of rice bread were affected by the baking time. When the top and bottom temperature of the oven at 200 and 140℃, and 200 and 170℃, the baking time was 20 min. When the top and bottom temperature of oven at 140 and 170℃, the baking time was 40 min. When the top and bottom temperature of the oven were 170 and 170℃, the shape of the rice bread indicated the largest volume, high appearance and a round shape. The results of this study revealed that the replacement of rice flour with 1.5% yeast, 60 min of fermentation time, and the top and bottom temperature of oven at 170-170℃ are effective for rice bread.

The baking properties of rice bread with polydextrose (3, 6, and 9%), enzymes (0.006, 0.009, and 0.018%) and egg (1.32 and 2.64%) were investigated. The specific gravity and color (L, a, b) of the dough, as well as the appearance, color (L, a, b) and texture of the rice bread were analyzed. The springiness, chewiness, gumminess (p<0.01) and hardness (p<0.001) of the rice bread tended to increase as the amount of added polydextrose increased. Replacement of rice flour with hemicellulase, glucose oxidase and fungal amylase are effective for producing rice bread. Replacement of rice flour with 0.009% glucose oxidase and 0.006% fungal amylase had a significant effect on increasing the volume and decreasing the hardness of the rice bread (p<0.001). Replacement of rice flour with 1.32% egg white also had a significant effect on increasing the volume and decreasing the hardness of the rice bread (p<0.001). These results suggest that replacement of rice flour with 0.009% glucose oxidase and 0.006% fungal amylase, and 1.32% egg white are effective for producing rice bread with good volume and hardness.

Baking characteristics of gluten-free rice bread were investigated, when 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60℃ water was added during mixing. The temperature of the dough before fermentation was affected by the temperature of the water and the mixing time. When 60℃ water was added, the specific gravity of the dough was the highest before fermentation (p<0.01). The specific gravity of the dough after fermentation was 32~39% of the specific gravity of the dough before fermentation. When 50℃ water was added, the volume and the specific volume of rice bread were higher than those in addition of water at other temperatures (p<0.001). In case of adding water of 50℃, the shape of the rice bread showed the largest volume, high appearance and a round shape. After storage for 2 and 24 hours, the addition of water of 50℃ resulted in the lowest hardness and chewiness values of rice bread. The sensory descriptive analysis revealed that when 50℃ water was added, the air cell size, springiness and hardness values of gluten-free rice bread were lower than those in addition of water at other temperatures. There was a difference in the appearance and texture of gluten-free rice bread, when 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60℃ water was added during mixing.

The qualities of rice cooked on heat plate, induction heat and heat plate with pressure, were investigated. The weight, volume, water soluble index (WSI), hydration by SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope), and gelatinization by DSC (Differential Scanning Calorimetry), as well as the consumer acceptability of cooked rice were analyzed. The weight, volume and WSI of rice cooked on heat plate with pressure were higher than those of rice cooked on heat plate and induction heat. The rice cooked on heat plate with pressure also showed higher degree of hydration and gelatinization, and lower degree of enthalpy of gelatinization than the rice cooked on heat plate and induction heat for 5~15 min. The consumer acceptability revealed that the odor, appearance, taste, texture and overall acceptance of rice cooked on induction heat were better than those of rice cooked on heat plate and heat plate with pressure. During storage in a cooker for 0~12 h, there was a decrease in the consumer acceptability of cooked rice. Overall results indicate that the qualities of rice cooked on induction heat and heat plate with pressure were higher than those of rice cooked on heat plate.

The physical characteristics of gluten-free rice bread, commercial rice as well as wheat bread marketed in Korea were delineated, a sensory descriptive analysis performed, and a consumer acceptability study conducted. Both the specific gravity and color of gluten-free rice bread were higher than those of commercial rice and wheat bread. The sensory descriptive analysis revealed that the adhesiveness, fracturability, fermentation odor, and the powdery mouthfeel of gluten-free rice bread were higher than those of commercial rice and wheat bread. In contrast, the sweet odor, sweetness, egg taste, butter taste, and milk taste of gluten-free rice bread were lower than those of commercial rice and wheat bread. The consumer acceptability results revealed differences regarding odor, appearance, taste, texture, and overall acceptance between a blind test and an informed test of gluten-free rice bread, commercial rice, and wheat bread. The consumer acceptability findings were associated with those of the sensory descriptive analysis. In overall, the results indicated that the quality of gluten-free rice bread can be improved by controlling the decrease of adhesiveness, fracturability, and powdery mouthfeel.

The baking properties of gluten-free rice bread with different percentages of corn starch and waxy corn starch were investigated. The specific gravity and color (L, a, b) of the dough as well as the appearance, color (L, a, b) and texture of the rice bread were analyzed. Replacement of rice flour with 1, 2.5, 5, 7.5 and 10% corn starch did not have a significant effect on the specific gravity and color of the dough. The volume and specific volume of the rice bread showed an increasing trend as the amount of added corn starch increased. The chewiness, gumminess and hardness of the rice bread showed a decreasing trend as the amount of added corn starch increased. Replacement of rice flour with 1, 5 and 10% waxy corn starch did not have a significant effect on the specific gravity and color of the dough. The color of the rice bread showed an increasing trend as the amount of added waxy corn starch increased. These results suggest that replacement of rice flour with 7.5% corn starch or 1% waxy corn starch is effective for gluten-free rice bread.

The purpose of this study was to compare the eating experience and preferences for seafood among elementary school students in Gyeonggi-do. A survey was carried out on 383 elementary school students. As for the eating experience of seafood, the students were aware of and had eaten ‘Scomber japonics (Go-deung-eo) (96.3%)’, ‘Anadara broughtonii (Jo-gea) (95.8%)’, ‘Ommastrephes sloani pacificus (O-jing-eo) (98.7%)’, ‘Panulirus japonicus (Sea-ou) (98.4%)’, ‘Porphyra tenera (Gim) (99.5%)’, ‘Shrimp, soused (81.2%)’, ‘Eo-muk (98.7%)’, and ‘Anchovy, dried (98.7%)’. As for the preferences for seafood, ‘like (67.6%)’, ‘fair (21.5%)’, and ‘dislike (7.3%)’ were observed. Concerning the frequency of seafood consumption, 4th grade students showed higher frequency of ‘1~2/week’ compared to others (p<0.05). 6th grade students showed higher frequency of ‘3~4/week’ compared to others (p<0.05). In terms of preferable cooking methods for seafood, ‘grilling (35.0%)’, ‘soup (23.0%)’, and ‘raw fish (19.8%)’ were observed. Boys showed a higher preference for ‘grilling’, ‘frying’ and ‘raw fish’ compared to the girls (p<0.05). Girls showed a higher preference for ‘soup’, ‘braising’ and ‘steaming’ compared to the boys (p<0.05). As for the seafood intake by eating place, ‘home (60.1%)’, ‘eating-out (18.3%)’, and ‘school lunch menus (12.8%)’ were observed in that order. Therefore, in order to increase the consumption and intake of seafood, students should attempt to achieve proper intake though information of nutrition and consistent nutritional education.

The quality characteristics of Korean rice cakes (Karedduk) with a mixture of maltooligosaccharide and OSA (octenyl succinic acid starch) added, after 2 and 24 hr of storage at 5℃, was analyzed. A central composite design was used for arrangement of treatment. The two independent variables selected for retarding retrogradation analysis were amounts of maltooligosaccharide (x) and OSA (y). Maltooligosaccharide was added at 0, 3, 6, 9, and 12% levels, and OSA added at 0, 0.3, 0.6, 0.9, and 1.2% levels, to dry rice flour. The texture properties analysis using a Texture Analyzer revealed that the springiness and cohesiveness (p<0.01), chewiness, gumminess and hardness (p<0.001) were significantly different after 24 hr of storage at 5℃. The effect of retarding retrogradation of Korean rice cakes with added mixtures of maltooligosaccharide and OSA showed an increasing trend as the amount of maltooligosaccharide increased. Overall, the instrumental texture properties were highly correlated with the sensory characteristics. These results suggest that adding a mixture of 6% maltooligosaccharide and 0.6% OSA to Korean rice cakes (Karedduk) is effective for retarding retrogradation.

The purpose of this study was to compare the preferences for seafood in school lunch menus among elementary school students in Gyeonggi-do. A survey was carried out on 303 male/female elementary school students. As for the preferences for seafood in school lunch menus, ‘like (47.2%)’, ‘fair (30.7%)’, and ‘dislike (22.1%)’ were observed in that order (p<0.01). Concerning the appropriateness of seafood serving frequency, ‘1~2/week (44.9%)’, ‘3~4/week (33.7%)’, and ‘everyday (10.2%)’ were observed in that order. When the preference of favorite seafood was evaluated using a Likert scale (strongly like 5-points, strongly dislike 1-point), ‘crustacea (4.34)’, ‘mollusk (4.21)’, and ‘processed food (4.11)’ were observed in that order. In terms of cooking methods for seafood, 5th grade students showed higher frequency of ‘grilling’ and ‘frying’ seafood compared to others (p<0.05). As for the occurrence of seafood leftovers, 4th and 6th grade students showed higher frequency of ‘sometimes’ than 5th grade students (p<0.001). As for certain desires for seafood in school lunch menus, ‘improvement of taste (39.3%)’, ‘various kinds of seafood (20.1%)’, and ‘variable cooking methods (18.5%)’ were observed in that order. Therefore, in order to increase the intake of seafood, students should attempt to achieve proper intake though nutrition education.

This study was performed to investigate the in vitro effect of a corn water extract on immune function. Splenocyte proliferation was determined by the MTT(3-[4, 5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2, 5-diphenyl terazolium bromide) assay after preparing asingle cell suspension. Production of macrophage-secreted interleukin(IL)-1β, IL-6, and interferon(IFN)-γ, was detected by ELISA using a cytokine assay kit. After a 48-hr incubation with mitogens(ConA or lipopolysaccharide), mice splenocyte proliferation increased with the addition of a corn water extract supplement at 10, 50, 100, 250, 500, or 1, 000㎍/㎖. Production of IL-1β, IL-6, and IFN-γ increased in treatments supplemented with the corn water extract. In an in vitro study, splenocyte proliferation increased when 50~1, 000㎕/㎖ corn water extract was added. In an ex vivo experiment, the highest production of cytokines by activated peritoneal macrophages was observed in mice orally administered 500㎎/㎏ body weight/day.
