본 연구는 한국의 전통발효식초가 지닌 새로운 생물학적 기능을 규명하기 위해 국내 및 국외에서 제조된 전통발효식초로부터 다당류를 분리하여 면역자극활성을 검토하였다. 국내산 현미식초 조다당(KBV-0), 일본산 현미식초 조다당(JBV-0) 및 국내산 감식초 조다당(KPV-0)을 분리하여 구성당 분석한 결과, KBV-0와 JBV-0는 주로 mannan으로 구성되어 있으며, KPV-0는 펙틴 유래 물질로 인한 조성으로 사료되었다. 3종의 다당 시료는 RAW 264.7 세포에 독성을 나타내지 않은 반면, RAW 264.7 세포를 자극하여 IL-6, IL-12 및 TNF-α와 같은 사이토카인의 생성을 농도 의존적인 경향으로 증진시켰으나, 특히 KPV-0의 활성이 KBV-0와 JBV-0보다 더 우수하였다. 또한 KPV-0는 대식세포의 포식작용과 관련있는 FcR II의 발현량을 유일하게 증가시켰다. 이상의 결과로부터 국내산 전통발효 감식초인 KPV-0는 다른 발효식초에 비해 더 우수한 면역활성을 지니는 것으로 나타났으며, 이는 기능성 소재로의 산업적 응용이 가능할 것으로 사료되었다.

The short-grain rice cultivar Choochung with a rough rice moisture content of 21% was air-dried to equilibrate themoisture content to 15, 16, and 17%. After dehulling, brown rice was packaged for storage in laminated paper orLDPE/OPP plastic-film bags (10-kg size). After storage of the packaged rice kernels in plastic and paper bags at10, 15, and 20oC, the quality characteristics of the rice were evaluated weekly for 16 weeks. Serious losses in theinternal moisture content of the kernels were observed during storage in paper bags, regardless of the moisture con-tent of the kernels or the storage temperature. The plastic-film packaging was effective in maintaining the weightof the kernels for all treatments, but severe fat oxidation problems were encountered, especially when the initialmoisture content of the kernel was 17% and/or the storage temperature of the kernels was 20oC. Before two weeks,the fat acidity value of the kernels reached 20mL KOH/100g, a marginal limit for an acceptable taste of cookedrice. Based on this study, the recommended environment for the storage of brown rice for efficient economic storageof the kernels is an initial kernel moisture content of 16%, laminated plastic-film packaging, and a sub-refrigerationtemperature of 15oC.

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is one of the most important staple foods in Korea and the consumption of brown rice is increasing annually. The objective of this study is to investigate the physicochemical, hydration and textural properties related to eating quality of cooked brown rice by using glutinous, semi-glutinous, four non-glutinous and four colored varieties. The moisture, protein and total dietary fiber contents of brown rice are shown in the range of 11.1~12.6%, 6.6~8.7% and 6.28~12.40%, respectively. The amount of water uptakes for brown rice during the hydration has shown significant differences. The glutinous variety of Boseogchal indicate the highest water absorption levels by reaching 0.38 gH2O/g. The hardness of hydration for Seolgaeng is distinctively lower than those of the other brown rice varieties. According to the textural characteristics of cooked brown rice when using the Tensipresser, the hardness of Boseogchal, Baegjinju and Seolgaeng all exhibit the lowest values out of ten varieties and the highest levels of adhesiveness.

Rice stripe virus (RSV) is one of the serious plant pathogenic viruses for rice and mediated by small brown planthopper, Laodalphax striatellus. So far, the studies have been mainly focused on the interaction between the host plant and the virus. In this study, for better comprehension of the interactions among Rice stripe virus, rice and small brown planthopper, transcriptomes of the RSV-viruliferous (RVLS) and non-viruliferous L. striatellus (NVLS) were comparatively analysed. For this, non-viruliferous L. striatellus were collected from non-infected rice field and fed RSV-infected rice for 5 days. With the RNAs prepared from the RSV-viruliferous and the non-viruliferous small brown planthoppers, we conducted Illumina RNA sequencing (Hiseq 2000) and then two transcriptome databases were generated from RVLS and NVLS, respectively. The transcriptome of RVLS and NVLS were campared to figure out how the gene expression of the insects affected by Rice Stripe Virus. RSV-dependently regulated genes analysed from this study may have important functions in the transmission and replication of RSV.

Physicochemical and sensory properties of puffed rice snack containing various levels (0%, 50%, 100%) of alkali-cooked brown rice were examined. To prepare alkali-cooked rice, brown rice was cooked in boiling 2% Ca(OH)2solution for 5 min, steeped for 3 h, and dried at 50oC for 18 h. Alkali-cooked rice showed a higher degree ofexpansion than that of untreated rice after puffing. Although moisture content, enzyme susceptible starch (ESS), anddensity of puffed rice snack decreased with increasing amounts of the alkali-cooked rice replacement, calcium con-tent increased because of the absorption of calcium during alkaline processing. The puffed rice snack had a darkercolor as the level of replacement with alkali-cooked rice increased. A sensory test revealed that puffed rice snackreplaced with 50% of alkali-cooked rice had no significant differences in color and sensory attributes from those ofthe control. These results indicate that fortification of calcium could be achieved by partial replacement of alkali-cooked rice without any detrimental effects on the quality of puffed rice snack.

Rice stripe virus disease (RSVD), one of the most serious disease of rice is mediated through the sucking by small brown planthopper, Laodalphax striatellus. So far, the studies have been mainly focused on the interaction between the host plant and the virus. In this study, for better comprehension of the interactions among the host plant, vector insect and plant-pathogenic virus, we investigated transcriptome of the vector insect and the differences between viruliferous and naïve L.striatellus. For this, naïve L. striatellus were collected from non-infected rice field and 50 L.striatellus of them were fed RSV-infected rice for 5 days. With the RSV-viruliferous and the naïve insects, we conducted Illumina RNA sequencing (Hiseq 2000) and obtained 175,243,488 and 146,031,348 reads from viruliferous and naïve L.striatellus, respectively. These reads were assembled into contigs and two transcriptome databases were generated. The transcriptome of naïve and RSV-viruliferous L. striatellus were campared to figure out up-regulated or down-regulated genes. These RSV-dependently regulated genes may have important function in the behavior of planthoppers or the transmission of RSV.

This study investigated the changes in the nutraceutical lipid components of brown rice oil after germination. Four different high-yielding cultivars (Dasan1, Segyejinmi, Hanareum1 and Hanareum2) of Korean brown rice were selected and brown rice oil was extracted from each cultivar before and after germination. Free fatty acid, squalene, policosanols, and isomers of phytosterol were analyzed using GC, and isomers of tocols (tocopherol and tocotrienol) and γ-oryzanol were quantified using HPLC from both brown rice oil (BRO) and germinated brown rice oil (GBRO). The contents of phytosterol isomers, campesterol, stigmasterol, and β-sitosterol were increased by 8.3%, 31.6%, 3.3% in GBRO, respectively. Furthermore, the squalene content showed the highest increase of up to 2.4 fold in GBRO compared to BRO. In addition, linoleic and linolenic acid composition increased whereas oleic and palmitic acid decreased in the GRBO. However, the contents of tocols (tocopherol and tocotrienol) in GBRO were lower than those in BRO, and there was no significant difference in policosanol and γ-oryzanol between GBRO and BRO. These results suggest that GBRO has the potential as a healthy and functional source due to its lipid profile on improved lipid metabolism.

This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of various types of functional brown rice milk porridge, which has been popular as a fast yet nutritional food, to promote rice consumption and to examine the best ratio and recipe. Each sample contained 10, 20, 30, and 40% brown rice compared to non-glutinous rice and sweet rice and were applied to mechanical and sensory tests. The moisture content of both non-glutinous rice and sweet rice porridges increased with increasing brown rice content. The viscosity of non-glutinous rice milk porridge decreased as with increasing brown rice content, whereas the viscosity of sweet rice milk porridge increased with increasing brown rice content. The pH was highest for BRT0 at 6.74 and lowest for BGT0, which is sweet rice porridge with brown rice, at 6.27. The sweetness decreased significantly for both sweet rice and non-glutinous rice porridges with the increase in brown rice content. The brightness of weet rice and non-glutinous rice porridges with brown rice increased significantly (p<0.001) with the increase in brown rice content, while the redness and yellowness of the color increased significantly (p<0.001) with increasing in brown rice content. As a result of analyzing the preference in the milk porridge containing brown rice, BRT30, which is non-glutinous rice milk porridge with brown rice, was most preferred at 5.8 in terms of color, while BRT30 was most preferred at 6.2 in terms of fragrance. All samples containing brown rice powder were highly preferred in terms of taste and the overall preference of sweet rice milk porridge was highest for BRT30 (5.8). The overall preference was highest for BGT30 at 6.1 and the preference was generally higher for the experiment groups prepared with sweet rice as opposed to those prepared with non-glutinous rice. Also, the scores for the sensory test were higher when brown rice was added. Therefore, it was concluded that the milk porridge could quickly and easily be prepared with brown rice instead of non-glutinous rice or sweet rice.

This study investigated the functional nutrition of red yeast rice to added beurre mani? in the production of brown sauce. We added X to Y at levels of 0%, 5%, 10%, 15% and 20% and investigated the effects on the viscosity, water content, turbidity, pH, sugar level, reducing sugar, color, and sensory quality characteristics of the resultant brown sauce. The viscosity of Brown sauce was increased with increasing red yeast rice beurre mani? while water content and turbidity were decreased. pH was between 4.57～4.91. Sugar level and reducing sugar were increased with increasing red yeast rice powder content. L and a were increased with increasing red yeast rice powder content, and b was decreased. In sensory testing, visual appearance and flavor were highest for brown sauce preparations containing 15% and 20% X. Aftertaste and taste scored the highest for additions of 10% and 15%. For general preference, a 15% addition of X resulted in the highest score. Based on the results, it seems that red yeast rice powder, 15% red yeast rice powder added brown sauce has the highest the general preference.

본 연구에서는 현미의 취반적성 및 관능성 개선을 위하여 적외선 가열처리 및 수침의 영향을 검토하였다. 현미는 적외선 가열처리 조건에 따라 부분적인 갈변화와 함께 외피 및 배유에 균열이 발생하여, 취반 후 곡립 형태가 파손되고 식미가 저하되었다. 현미의 균열 손상은 120oC 이상의 온도에서 초기수분함량이 3% 이상 감소할 때까지 가열하는 조건에서 발생하였으나, 수침과 병행하여 가열하는 경우에는 현미의 균열 및 형태 손상이 발생하지 않았다. 현미는 적외선 가열에 의해 부분 호화가 발생하며, 호화도는 수침 처리한 현미에서 더 높은 것으로 확인되었다. 현미는 적외선 가열 처리에 의해 취반 질감이 연화되었으며, 수침과 병행하는 경우 가장 높은 연화효과를 나타내었다. 취반 현미의 관능성은 적외선 가열 처리에 의해 크게 개선되었으며, 수침을 병행하였을 때 전체적인 기호도가 가장 높은 확인되었다. 상기 결과를 통하여 수침 처리하지 않은 현미의 경우 120oC에서 수분함량이 1% 감소까지, 수침시료의 경우 20분간 상온수침 후 110oC에서 수분 함량 14%까지의 가열조건을 현미의 취반성과 관능성 개선을 위한 최적조건으로 설정하였다.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of brown rice and brown rice phytosterol on blood pressure and lipid levels in spontaneously hypertension rats (SHR). SHR were grouped according to blood pressure and fed either a control diet or experimental diets containing 50% brown rice powder or 5% brown rice phytosterol for 3 weeks. Body weight gain and epididymal fat weight were significantly reduced in the brown rice powder and brown rice phytosterol groups compared to control. Brown rice and brown rice phytosterol diets suppressed age-dependent increases in systolic blood pressure compared to control. In addition, brown rice and brown rice phytosterol diets decreased total lipid, triglyceride, and cholesterol levels in the liver, whereas serum HDL cholesterol increased. Lastly, brown rice phytosterol reduced TBARS contents in the kidney. These results suggest that brown rice and brown rice phytosterol exert antihypertensive effects that improve lipid metabolism in SHR.

Among hemipteran insects which is the most important insect vector of plant viruses, small brown planthopper, Laodelphax striatellus, transmits the rice stripe virus (RSV) causing rice stripe disease. For effective control of RSV, it is important to understand interaction between RSV and L. striatellus. Therefore, in this study, expressed sequence tag (EST) databases were generated based on 454 GS-FLX pyrosequencing for comparative transcriptome analysis between nonviruliferous and RSV-viruliferous L. striatellus. By comparing the two EST libraries, we showed that 108 host genes were significantly up-regulated and 28 host genes were significantly down-regulated in viruliferous insects. Interestingly, genes encoding ribosomal proteins were mainly up-regulated in viruliferous L. striatellus, whereas genes related to translation were concentrated in the downregulated cohort. These RSV-dependently regulated genes may have important function in the behavior of planthopper or the transmission of RSV.

We analyzed the contents of γ-oryzanol, which is contained in brown rice of the nation rice varieties Chucheong, Heukjinju and Sindongjin, by HPLC. Furthermore we also performed experiments on its biological activity, to prove the effectiveness of rice bran. The contents of γ-oryzanol contained in hulled rice showed 1, 587 ppm for Heukjinju, followed by Chucheong(1, 038 ppm), and by Sindongjin(472 ppm). In anti-oxidative activity, we performed an experiment, by measuring the radical scavenging activity of DPPH. Heukjinju showed the best effect, and Chucheong showed the worst effect. In cholesterol lowering activity, Heukjinju showed the best activity and Sindongjin showed the worst effect. In anti-bacterial activity as well, Heukjinju showed the best activity, and Sindongjin showed the worst effect. Through these experiments, we compared the contents of γ-oryzanol, which is contained in hulled rice(Chucheong, Heukjinju, Sindongjin). Also, we found the anti-oxidation effect, cholesterol lowering effect, and anti-bacterial activity of the γ-oryzanol extracts. Based on our research, we expect that γ-oryzanol can work as a new drug, or nutritional supplement.

Movement and accumulation of cadmium in male Sprague-Dawley rats, fed with brown rice from nearby Janghang smeltery area were investigated. The rat fed with five different cadmium level diets made with Cdpolluted during 12 weeks. The brown rice-polluted with 0.87 ppm Cd (PBR) was sampled from products in the Janghang smeltery area. Diets of brown rice group were brown rice (BR, 0.002 ppm Cd), each 50% of BR and PBR (BR+PBR 50%, 0.44 ppm Cd) and PBR (PBR 100%, 0.87 ppm Cd). To compare with BR+PBR 50%, the another group diet composed the feed (FE, 0.002 Cd ppm) and each 50% of FE and PBR (FE+PBR 50%, 0.44 ppm Cd). Accumulation of Cd, Zn and Cu in blood, liver and kidney rats was measured by GF-AAS. The weight gain in BR groups and FE groups were different 0.22-0.26 and 1.08-1.26 g/day, respectively. Daily intake cadmium was 10.77 and 22.36 μg/rat in BR+PBR 50% and PBR 100%, and 8.83 μg/rat in FE+PBR 50%. Cadmium contents in diets were higher, and total intake of the heavy metals was more increased on the whole. Weights of liver and kidney in FE+PBR 50% group was 2.64 and 2.27 folds higher than those in BR+PBR 50% group. Cadmium contents in blood were increased with intake of BR diet, but Zn and Cu were decreased with them. In the diet groups with the same Cd concentration, Cd content of FE+PBR 50% was higher 1.27 times than that of BR+PBR 50%. In the diet group of BR, BR+PBR 50%, and PBR 100%, the increase of Cd concentration was significantly different to the increase of Cd content in the livers. In the same condition of Cd concentration, Cd contents were higher in the BR+PBR 50% group. In the diet groups of BR, BR+PBR 50%, and PBR 100%, the increase of Cd content in the kidneys led to the increase of Zn and Cu contents. In the same condition of Cd concentration, the diet group with the addition of BR was shown to be 3.11 times higher than with the addition of FE. In view of the results so far achieved, It was closely related with Cd, Zn, and Cu content.

Rice stripe virus (RSV), the type member of the genus Tenuivirus, causes rice stripe disease and the viral transmission is mediated through the sucking by small brown planthopper, Laodelphax striatellus. Considerations have been mainly focused on the protection of rice from RSV and/or the planthopper, rather than the interaction between RSV and the insect. To clarify the interaction, in this work, mRNA was extracted from RSV-viruliferous planthopper with non-viruliferous control, and expressed sequence tag (EST) databases were generated based on 454 GS-FLX pyrosequencing technology for comparative analysis. RSV-viruliferous planthopper had ca. 2500 isotigs, which included genes on biological process (19%), cellular component (13%), molecular function (22%) and no hits (46%) from gene ontology (GO) analysis; this structure was similar to the control. However, in the viruliferous planthopper, 109 isotigs were up-regulated and 660 isotigs were down-regulated, compared to the non-viruliferous control. These RSV-dependently regulated genes may have important function in the behavior of planthopper or the transmission of RSV.

The optimal replaced percentage of brown rice Jeung-pyun was investigated in this study. A specific volume of brown rice Jeung-pyun resulted in no difference. The pH of Jeung-pyun (5.10-5.39) was higher than that of Jeung-pyun dough (4.96-5.17). The lightness darkened to 55.39-63.56, as the replaced amount of brown rice flour was increased. Furthermore, redness and yellowness increased to 3.24-4.15 and 4.45-10.12, respectively. The microstructure examined by scanning electron microscopy became enlarged and irregular as the amount of replaced rice increased. The gelatinization of 30-40% brown rice powder was approximately 1.93-2.20. The mechanical textures of hardness, gumminess, chewiness, and fracturability were high as additional ingredients and the storage period increased, whereas adhesiveness, springiness, and cohesiveness were low. The results of a sensory evaluation revealed that the 30% added brown rice Jeung-pyun was highly assessed as the most appropriate percentage of added brown rice Jeung-pyun.

The principal objective of this study was to determine the optimal mixing conditions for three amounts of onion powder, sugar, and butter to prepare onion powder cookies. The experimental design was based on the central composite design methodology of response surface, which included 16 experimental points including two replicates for onion powder, sugar, and butter. The mechanical and sensory properties of the cookies were measured, and these values were applied to the mathematical models. A canonical form and perturbation plot showed the influence of each ingredient on the mixed final product. The results of the spread ratio did not show significant results, but hardness increased with increasing quantities of onion powder and sugar but decreased with butter (p<0.01). The color lightness "L" value increased with increasing quantities of sugar and butter but decreased with added onion powder. In contrast, the redness color "a" value increased with increasing quantities of onion powder and sugar. Sugar did not affect the yellowness color "b" value, but the color b value increased with increasing onion powder and sugar. The results of a sensory evaluation using the predicted model showed significant values for flavor (p<0.01), texture (p<0.05), taste (p<0.05), and overall quality (p<0.01). As a result, the optimum formulation by numerical and graphical methods was calculated as 12.58 g onion powder, 35 g sugar, and 52.38 g butter.
