This study was carried out to investigate milling's effect on the pasting properties and storage stability of dry-milled rice flour. Rice flour's moisture content was increased from 9.48% to 9.80% after going through a rice polisher, and the crude fat content of rice flour was decreased from 0.91% to 0.62% after going through a rice polisher. In the color index of rice flour, the rice polisher was only affected by yellowness. The pasting properties were verified through RVA, and it was confirmed that the use of a rice polisher had no significant effect on the pasting properties. As a result of observing the changes in fatty acid value, it was ascertained that the storage period could be increased using the rice polisher. These results suggest that the rice polisher can increase the storage period without changing the pasting properties.

Rice flours from five rice (Oryza sativa L.) varieties with different amylose content were prepared by both wet and dry milling processes. The moisture content of wet-milled rice flours (WMR) was approximately three-times higher than that of dry-milled rice flours (DMR). Water absorption index (WAI), water solubility index (WSI), and swelling power (SP) increased in proportion to temperature. The WAI, WSI and SP values of DMR were higher than those of WMR. Baeokchal (BOC), which is a waxy rice cultivar, had a significantly high WSI value. Pasting properties of DMR, except for the BOC cultivar, resulted in an increase in peak, trough, final, and setback viscosities. The levels of resistant starch in four cultivars, except for Dodamssal (DDS), were under 1%, irrespective of the milling process, whereas the resistant starch contents of DMR and WMR in DDS were 9.18% and 6.27%, respectively. In vitro digestibility of WMR was higher than that of DMR, and the estimated glycemic index of the rice flour varieties ranged from 57.6 to 81.3. Damaged starch content of WMR was less than that of DMR; in addition, a negative correlation was observed between the amylose and damaged starch contents of WMR. These results suggest that the properties of rice flour vary depending on the milling method and flour variety, and could be a reference for selecting the appropriate processing method.

본 연구를 통하여 조생 다수성 벼 품종인 남일벼의 돌연변이 후대계통으로 'Namil(SA)2652-RGA-l-l-l-l'의 계보를 지니며 Namil(SA)-flo1로 명명된 분질계통의 건식제분 적성과 쌀가루의 이화학적 특성과 호화특성 등을 평가하였다. 배유절단면의 전자현미경 관찰결과 원품종인 남일벼는 배유절단면이 부드러우며 다변각의 전분립들이 치밀하게 배열된 반면 Namil(SA)-flo1은 원형모양의 전분립들이 매우 성기게 배열되어있었다. Namil(SA)-flo1의 작물학적 특성은 남일벼와 유사하였으나 등숙비율과 천립중이 낮았으며 이러한 특성은 백미수량 감소로 이어짐을 알 수 있었다. 조직분석기들 이용한 곡립경도측정 결과 Namil(SA)-flo1는 3,417 g으로 남일벼 (7,526 g)의 45% 수준으로 매우 낮았다. 건식제분기인 Buhler 제분기를 이용해 동일조건에서 생산된 쌀가루들에 대한 입도분석결과 Namil(SA)-flo1는 평균 86.1um 로서 원품종인 남일벼 (109.1um )는 물론 화성벼(112.2um )나 설갱벼 (97.6um )보다 매우 고운입자로 이루어져 있음을 확인하였다. 건식제분에 의한 쌀가루의 손상전분량 역시 Namil(SA)-flo1가 5.1% 수준으로 남일벼 (9.2%), 화성벼(10.3%) 및 설갱벼(7.1%) 보다 매우 낮아 Namil(SA)-flo1의 높은 건식제분 적합성을 확인할 수 있었다. 반면 Namil(SA)-flol에서 생산된 쌀가루의 이화학적 특성과 호화특성은 원품종인 남일벼의 고유한 특성을 견지하고 있는 것으로 사료되었다.
