This study compared quality characteristics of traditional wine made with white rice of Samkwang and pigmented rice of heugjinmi, joeunheugmi, and heugjinju cultivars. After 10 days fermentation period, the pH was in the range of 4.52~4.71. It was higher in pigmented rice than in white rice. Total acidity was 0.50~0.74%. It was also higher in pigmented rice than in white rice. Regarding sugar content, white rice samgkwang had the highest sugar content at 17.40 °Brix and pigmented rice had sugar contents in the range of 13.17~14.93 °Brix. Regarding reducing sugar, white rice samgkwang had the highest content while heugjinmi pigmented rice had the lowest content. Alcohol concentrations of traditional wine were in the range of 15.0~15.6%. White rice samgkwang and pigmented rice heugjinju cultivars had the highest alcohol concentrations. Traditional wine made from white rice and samgkwang had the highest lightness value at 53.40. For wine made from pigmented rice cultivars, lightness values ranged from 31.91 to 38.33. Pigment wine made from Heugjinmi had the highest redness value at 8.08 and the highest yellowness value at 6.39. Major aroma components produced in large amounts of fermented liquor were ethyl acetate, isobutyl alcohol, 2,6-dimethyl-4-heptanone, and isoamyl alcohol.

The aim of this study was to prepare rice straw silage using cabbage by-product and persimmon peel which are agricultural by-products produced during the same season in Korea. The treatments comprised a commercial corn silage as the control and four rice straw silages (P15-1, P15-2, P30-1, and P30-2) with different levels of persimmon peel supplementation (15%, 30%) and ensiled periods (1 or 2 months). The cabbage by-products were used to adjust silage moisture (approximately 65%). The quality of the experimental silages was evaluated based on organic acid content, palatability to three Holstein dairy cows, and manufacturing cost. In the corn silage, all chemical compositions, except total digestible nutrients and levels of lactic and butyric acids, were significantly (p<0.05) higher than those of the rice straw silages. However, considering the quality analysis using Flieg's score, the rice straw silage supplemented with 30% persimmon peel ensiled for 2 months (P30-2) was estimated as second grade to corn silage, and was relatively better in palatability to dairy cows than the other rice straw silages, which were considered third grade. The manufacturing cost of rice straw silages using cabbage by-product and persimmon peel compared to that of corn silage was reduced by 28%. Consequently, to prepare rice straw silage adjusted to 65% moisture using only cabbage by-products without inoculant, 30% of persimmon peel, 10% of ground corn, and 2% of molasses as a sugar source should be ensiled for at least 2 months.

This study investigated the quality characteristics and optimal conditions of noodles produced by adding Baromi 2 Garu floury rice to wheat flour. The lightness of samples with floury rice increased, while the lightness (L*), redness (a*), and yellowness (b*) decreased after cooking compared to before cooking. The weight, volume, and moisture absorption rate of cooked noodles decreased compared to wheat, but turbidity increased as the amount of rice flour increased. In addition, compared to the control with 20% rice flour, GR-20 (flour replacement by 20% Garu floury rice) with floury rice had lower turbidity, showing less cooking loss. The hardness, gumminess, and chewiness of noodles with floury rice decreased as the floury rice content increased, while springiness, cohesiveness, and adhesiveness increased. The elongation force and distance decreased as the amount of floury rice increased. Therefore, the optimal amount of floury rice to replace wheat flour would be 20%. Adding excessive amounts of floury rice to processed foods requires additional processes, such as adding food additives or changing the processing method to control physical properties.

In this study, we aimed to develop a fermented green rice beverage with a unique flavor and physiological function activity. With glutinous green rice and rice nuruk as independent variables, we modeled the antioxidant characteristics and α-glucosidase, α-amylase inhibitory activity of glutinous green rice fermented beverage to verify its significance. The total flavonoid content and α-glucosidase inhibitory activity were selected as Quadratic models, and DPPH radical scavenging ability and α-amylase inhibitory activity were selected as linear models. For the sensory characteristics of glutinous green rice fermented beverage, sweetness, sourness, savory taste, bitterness, throat feel, nuruk scent, and overall preference increased in preference as the amount of glutinous green rice and rice nuruk increased, but significantly decreased after the center point (p<0.01). A blending ratio of 180.00 g of glutinous green rice and 400.00 g of rice nuruk had the highest preference among all the sensory items. Based on these results, we developed a green rice fermented beverage with unique flavor and physiological function activity of rice using glutinous green rice and rice nuruk, and the optimal blending ratio was determined to be 164.04 g of white rice, 195.96 g of glutinous green rice, and 414.61 g of rice nuruk.

탁주의 제조과정 중 사입량의 비율을 조절하여 담금 조건을 달리하는 증량 담금법과 3단 담금법으로 탁주를 제조하여 탁주의 품질특성을 조사하였 다. 3단 담금법에서 초기 당도가 높았으나, 발효가 진행됨에 따라 발효 6일차 까지는 10.5oBrix로 서서히 감소하다가, 그 이후 다시 상승하였다. 증량 담금법의 알코올 증가량은 3단 담금법에 비해 초기 발효속도는 완만했으나 발효완료 시 16.0%에 도달한 반면, 3단 담금법은 초기 발효속도가 빨랐으나, 14.9%로 발효가 완료되었다. 초기 아미노산도는 3단 담금법에서는 2.3%로 높았으나, 증량 담금법은 아미노산도가 서서히 증가하여 발효완료시 3.2%였고, 3단 담금법에서는 3.3%에 도달하였다. 증량 담금법에서 Sake meter value (SMV)는 발효 3일차에 -13.1까지 감소하였으나, 그 이후 지속적으로 증가하여 발효 종료시 11.3으로 나타났다. 관능검사 결과 전반적 기호도는 단맛과 쓴맛의 기호도가 우수했던 증량 담금법에서 더 높게 나타났다.

This study aimed to establish the optimal conditions for producing gluten-free noodles by varying the amount of pregelatinized rice flour added to the regular rice flour and investigating their quality characteristics. With an increase in the amount of added pregelatinized rice flour, the brightness of the noodles decreased, and the color became more yellow both before and after cooking. Adding pregelatinized rice flour to the noodles also increased hardness, elasticity, chewiness, stickiness, and adhesiveness. The textures of the two groups of samples (PR-10 and PR-15) were similar to that of the control, indicating comparable structural characteristics. Furthermore, the absence of gluten made it inherently challenging to form gluten-free noodles. Still, adding pregelatinized rice flour improved the processability of the dough, leading to better noodle formation. An optimal addition of 15% pregelatinized rice flour was deemed suitable for optimal noodle formation in gluten-free noodles. This study established blending conditions using pregelatinized rice flour to improve the poor processability of gluten-free noodles. The findings are expected to be valuable for the industry’s future development of gluten-free processed food.

The purpose of this study was to confirm the quality characteristics of distilled soju with different rice pretreatment processes. The non-steamed fermentation method is a technology that uses starch to produce saccharification and alcohol without going through the steaming of raw materials. It has advantages such as reduction of manpower and cost, prevention of nutrient loss, and minimization of waste water. In this study, rice used were non-steamed and pulverized 'Baromi2', nonsteamed and steamed ‘Samgwang’, and puffed rice. As the fermenting agent, koji, modified nuruk, N9 yeast, and purified enzyme were used, and lactic acid was added to prevent contamination during fermentation. The amount of water was 300% in total, and after the first watering, 5 days after fermentation, the second watering was carried out. As a result of the study, it was confirmed that the non-steamed fermentation method using ‘Baromi’ was superior to the existing fermentation method in terms of temperature during fermentation, final alcohol content, soluble solids, and pH. By expanding the stability of the production technology of non-steamed fermentation technology, product quality improvement can be expected.

This study compares the quality characteristics of Jeung-pyun prepared by supplementing with rice mash of various cultivars. Results showed high contents of crude protein and crude ash in Saeilmi. The highest and lowest amylose contents were obtained in Goami4 and Baekjinju, respectively. Saeilmi had the highest water absorption index (WAI) of rice flour, whereas the highest water-soluble index (WSI) was obtained in Baekokchal. Maximum viscosity, minimum viscosity, and breakdown were high in Baekjinju, and high cooling viscosity and setback levels were determined in Goami4. The sugar content, total free sugar, and pH of the rice mash were highest in Baekjinju. The highest volume of Jeung-pyun was obtained with Saeilmi supplementation, whereas the specific volume was highest in Baekokchal. Evaluation of L, a, and b color values of Jeung-pyun revealed the maximum L value in Saeilmi, a value in Goami4, and b value in Baekjinju. The physical properties of Jeung-pyun were lower in all supplemented groups compared to the control group for hardness, adhesiveness, and chewiness. The lowest chewiness was obtained in Baekokchal-supplemented Jeung-pyun. We conclude that supplementation with different varieties of rice affects the quality characteristics of Jeung-pyun, which are important factors for manufacturing processed foods.

This study investigated the quality characteristics and antioxidant effects of rice cookies containing different percentage of freeze-dried plum powder (3%, 5%, 6%, and 12%). The density of the dough and the thickness of the rice cookies from the control group and the additive group were not significantly different. The pH value of the dough, its moisture content and spread factor, as well as the Hunter’s L and b values of the rice cookies significantly decreased as the amount of dried plum powder added increased. However, the sweetness, hardness, thickness, Hunter’s a value, total polyphenol, total flavonoid and anthocyanin contents, DPPH and ABTS free radials scavenging activity, and ferric reducing antioxidant power of the rice cookies significantly increased as the amount of dried plum powder added increased. Overall, the results of this study showed that adding dried plum power enhanced the antioxidant activities and quality characteristics of rice cookies.

In this study, the authors investigated the quality characteristics of convenient rice porridge made from powder (PR) and half-rice (HR) sized freeze-dried cooked rice using Samgwang and Jinsumi rice. The hydration properties of the freeze-dried cooked rice and the color, viscosity, spreadability, and sensory evaluation of porridge were measured. PR showed significantly higher water-binding capacity, solubility, and swelling power than HR for both varieties (p<0.05). As a result of the quality characteristic of the porridge, PR showed significantly higher lightness, redness, yellowness, viscosity, and spreadability than HR (p<0.05). Acceptance testing showed that HR had significantly better results for all acceptance attributes than PR (p<0.05). Jinsumi HR showed better consumer acceptance for taste, texture, and overall acceptability than Samgwang HR (p<0.05). Intensity evaluations of sensory properties revealed that the Samgwang PR was more spreadable but was less chewy than Samgwang HR. Furthermore, Jinsumi HR had higher transparency, greater spreadability, and a better cooked-rice odor and savory taste than Samgwang HR (p<0.05). These results confirm that convenient porridges can be produced using freezedried cooked rice.

In this study, when manufacturing Yakgwa, 0, 25, or 50% of embryonic rice flour (ERF) was substituted for wheat flour (WF) to make the dough. After making Yakgwa by hot air frying (HF) or deep-fat frying (DF) methods, physicochemical characterization and acceptance tests were conducted. ERF had a higher water-binding capacity and a lower fat-binding capacity than WF (p<0.05). Yakgwa prepared by HF had lower crude fat contents, peroxide values, and expansion rates, but higher hardnesses, lightnesses, and rednesses (p<0.05) than that prepared by DF. Higher ERF substitution ratios reduced acid values and expansion rates and increased hardness (p<0.05). Acceptance testing showed 0% ERF Yakgwa prepared by HF had a significantly higher acceptance than Yakgwa prepared by DF. HF was found to have a positive effect on product acceptability. Yakgwa prepared with the DF method by substituting WF with ERF resulted in better flavor and overall acceptability than Yakgwa prepared with WF alone (p<0.05).

최고품질 벼 품종의 외래품종 대체를 위하여 국내 재배 외래품종의 선호 요인 분석을 위한 기초자료를 제공하고자 ‘추청’ ‘고시히카리’ 등 국내 선호도가 높은 외래품종의 취반시 미립의 모양과 체적변화를 조사한 바, 1. 취반 시간에 따른 입장은 최고품질 벼의 경우 ‘삼광’이 199%로 가장 높았고 ‘일품’이 172%로 가장 낮았으며 삼광’의 경우 배양 후 5~10분 사이에 입장이 가장 빠르게 늘어났고 ‘일품’은 취반시간에 따라 일정한 비율로 증가하였다. 2. 국내에서 선호되는 외래 품종의 경우 취반시 미립의 신장변이의 폭이 적었으며 ‘삼광’이나 ‘하이아미’에 비하여 일정한 비율로 증가하였으며 ‘고시히카리’와 ‘히토메보레’는 취반 15분 이후부터 신장율의 변화가 상대적으로 적었다 3. 미립 신장지수는 ‘삼광’과 ‘하이아미’가 ‘일품’보다 높았으며 ‘삼광’은 취반 10분 후 신장지수의 변화가 거의 일어나지 않았고 일품’과 ‘고시히카리’는 취반후 미립의 모양이 상대적으로 작게 변하였다. 5. 최고품질 벼 및 외래품종의 취반한 후 미립 모양은 조사한 모든 품종의 미립 표면이 다소 불규칙적으로 팽화하였지만 ‘고시히카리’의 경우 백미 원형을 가장 잘 유지하고 있는 것으로 나타났다.

본 시험은 사료용 벼의 생산 및 이용 확대를 위해 한우에 대한 급여 효과를 규명하는 것을 목적으로 수행되었다. 경기도 평택에서 생산된 사료용 벼를 활용하여 TMR 사료를 조제하였고 한우 육성우 16두를 대상으로 29개월령까지의 생장능력과 육질특성 변화를 조사하였다. 생산된 사료용 벼 사일리지는 수분함량이 64.02%, 조단백질 함량이 7.54%로 나타났으며 육성기에는 약 45% 정도를 배합하였고 비육기(전기, 중기 및 후기)에는 각각 35, 15 및 9% 로 낮추어 배합하였다. 체중은 WCR-TMR 급여구가 비육중기와 후기에 대조구에 비해 유의적으로 무거웠고, 종료시(29개월령)는 대조구가 631 kg/head 였으나 WCR-TMR급여구는 647 kg/head 로 무거웠다. 일당증체는 육성기와 비육전기에 WCR-TMR급여구가 유의적으로 높았으며 비육중기 및 후기는 차이가 없었다. 전 기간에 있어서는 0.71 vs 0.75 kg/head/day 로 WCR-TMR급여구가 높게 나타났다. 육량에 있어서는 대조구의 등지방 두께(11.7 mm)가 WCR-TMR급여구(9.3 mm)보다 유의적으로 두껍게 나타났다(P<0.05). 등심단면적, 도체중 및 육량지수에서는 차이가 없었다. 육질에 있어서는 Marbling score가 WCR-TMR급여구에서 높게 나타났으며(P<0.05), 육색, 지방색, 조직감 및 성숙도에 있어서는 유의적인 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 이상의 결과를 종합하여 볼 때 사료용 벼 위주 TMR 급여는 가축의 생산성을 개선시켰으나 육질에 있어서는 큰 차이를 보이지 않았다. 따라서 조사료 사정이 열악한 나라에서는 사료용 벼의 생산 및 이용이 필요한 것으로 판단된다.

The effect of 16 cultivars on the quality of the rice porridge was investigated. The ‘Geunnun’ had the highest water absorption rate, but the ‘Segyejinmi’ yield (w/w) was the highest. The total sugar content of the rice porridge was 0.29~8.10%, showing significant variation among the cultivars. High amylose ‘Dodamssal’ and ‘Hwaseonchalbyeo’ glutinous rice displayed rotational viscosities of <20,000 cP. Rotational viscosities for boiled rice cultivars were 30,000~40,000 cP, representing an intermediate level, and the rotational viscosities of ‘Geonyang2’ and ‘Hanareum4’ were over 50,000 cP. These results suggest that the viscosity of rice porridge varies significantly among raw material cultivars. Among other variables affecting the texture profile of rice porridge, there were significant differences in hardness and gumminess among the cultivars. As a raw material, ‘Baekokchal’, a kind of glutinous rice, is known to be whiter than the non-glutinous rice, but after processing to porridge, it showed the lowest L value (71.1). Starch degrading enzyme activity was not significant in most types of rice porridges within 30 or 60 minutes. Therefore, enzymatic starch degradation is thought to be completed within 30 minutes. Among the tested raw materials, ‘Miho’ was 73.5 μg/mg, indicating the best digestibility in vitro.
