RESUMEN
In this study, malt was produced in pilot-scale facilities and conditioned using three barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) cultivars in South Korea (Heugho, Hopum, and Kwangmaeg). Quality and starch characteristics were compared. The starch content was considerably reduced in all malts. Coleoptile elongation was higher in Heugho (HHM; 85.7% ± 12.6%) and Hopum (HPM; 83.9% ± 10.7%) than in Kwangmaeg (KMM; 78.1% ± 9.9%) malt. Malt yield ranged from 81.8 to 84.9%, with no significant difference. All samples presented type A crystallinity, and granules showed discoid shapes. After malting, the mono- and di-saccharide contents (not including sucrose) were increased. The fermentable sugar level was the highest in HHM, whereas non-fermentable sugar was the highest in KMM. These results suggest that HPM enables efficient scarification based on the rapid degradation of starch, while Heugho barley and HHM have a high potential for beer and malt production, respectively.

RESUMEN
This study aimed to explore suitable processing materials for rice beer (RB) production by analyzing the starch structure of the raw materials utilized for brewing beer and the quality characteristics of RB. We used malt, employing the Heugho cultivar as the main ingredient, and produced beer containing 30% rice. The regular amylose-containing cultivars Samgwang (SA) and Hangaru (HA) and the high-amylose-containing cultivar Dodamssal (DO) were used as adjuncts. Distribution of the short molecular chains of the starch amylopectin was the highest for SA and malt at 29.3% and 27.1%, respectively. Glucose content was the highest in the wort prepared with 100% malt and 30% SA + 70% malt. The alcohol content in SA RB and HA RB was higher than that in beer prepared with 100% malt. DO RB had the least bitterness and volatile components, such as acetaldehyde and ethyl acetate. The three rice cultivars tested in this study are suitable as starch adjuncts for RB production. The characteristics of RBs varied depending on the molecular structure of the ingredients, irrespective of their amylose contents. SA could be considered a craft beer with quality characteristics and rich flavor components, similar to 100% malt beer, compared to other RBs.
RESUMEN
Rice is a major source of carbohydrates. Resistant starch (RS) is digested in the human small intestine but fermented in the large intestine. This study investigated the effect of consuming heat-treated and powdered brown rice cultivars 'Dodamssal' (HBD) and 'Ilmi' (HBI), with relatively high and less than 1% RS content, respectively, on the regulation of glucose metabolism in humans. Clinical trial meals were prepared by adding ~80% HBI or HBD powder to HBI and HBD meals, respectively. There was no statistical difference for protein, dietary fiber, and carbohydrate content, but the median particle diameter was significantly lower in HBI meals than in HBD meals. The RS content of HBD meals was 11.4 ± 0.1%, and the HBD meals also exhibited a low expected glycemic index. In a human clinical trial enrolling 36 obese participants, the homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance decreased by 0.05 ± 0.14% and 1.5 ± 1.40% after 2 weeks (p = 0.021) in participants in the HBI and HBD groups, respectively. The advanced glycation end-product increased by 0.14 ± 0.18% in the HBI group and decreased by 0.06 ± 0.14% in the HBD group (p = 0.003). In conclusion, RS supplementation for 2 weeks appears to have a beneficial effect on glycemic control in obese participants.

The microbial and physicochemical properties of brown and white cooked rice treated by atmospheric pressure plasma (APP). APP was produced (250 W, 15 kHz, ambient air) and applied to brown and white cooked rice for 5, 10, and 20 min. The 20-min plasma treatment reduced in bacterial counts by 2.01 log CFU/g when cooked rice were inoculated with Bacillus cereus or Escherichia coli O157:H7. The pH of the brown cooked rice was decreased by the 5-min plasma. The hardness values of APP-treated brown and white cooked rice were lower than untreated samples. The reducing sugar contents of brown and white cooked rice were significantly higher than those in untreated samples. Lipid oxidation of APP-treated brown and white cooked rice were higher compared to untreated samples. These results indicate that APP improves microbial quality, although further studies should be conducted to change the physicochemical qualities of brown and white cooked rice induced by APP.
RESUMEN
Rice bran, a by-product derived from processing rice, is a rich source of bioactive compounds. Recent studies have suggested that the fermentation can improve their biological activities. This study aimed to determined the level of γ-oryzanol, ß-glucan and total phenol contents of fermented rice bran from 21 Korean varieties, as well as to evaluate their antioxidant activities. We also assessed the validation of the analytical method for determining γ-oryzanol content in fermented rice brans. Among the fermented rice brans, the Haedam rice bran contained the highest level of total phenol content (156.08 mg gallic acid equivalents/g), DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) radical scavenging activity (71.30%) and ORAC (Oxygen radical absorbance capacity) value (1101.31 µM trolox equivalents/g). Furthermore, the fermented Migwang rice bran showed the highest level of γ-oryzanol content (294.77 ± 6.74 mg/100 g).

Normal rice starches were isolated from six different rice varieties grown in Korea and their molecular structure, crystalline structure, and in vitro digestibility were investigated. Apparent amylose content was the highest in starch from Junam cultivar (25.5%) and lowest in Hopum (22.4%). Starch from Hiami cultivar had the lowest molecular weights of amylose and amylopectin, average amylopectin chain length, proportion of short chains (DP 6-12), and proportion of long chains (DP≥37) among the tested rice starches. The relative crystallinity and ratio of 1047/1022 ranged from 30.2 to 36.7% and from 0.638 to 0.652, respectively. Hiami had the lowest gelatinization temperatures and the highest gelatinization enthalpy. Hiami had the highest pasting temperature (92.1°C), the lowest setback (515cP) and final viscosity (876cP), whereas Hanareum had the lowest pasting temperature (82.7°C), the highest setback (1002cP), and final viscosity (1580cP). The rapidly digestible starch (RDS), slowly digestible starch (SDS), and resistant starch (RS) content ranged from 43.9-53.5%, 35.5-52.6%, and 0.5-15.6%, respectively. The Junam cultivar had the lowest RDS content, whereas Hiami had the highest RDS content. The RS content of Hanareum (16.2%) and Boramchan (14.5%) was significantly higher than that of other normal rice cultivars (3.0-6.5%).

This study examined the feasibility of using black rice bran (BRB) as an ingredient of noodles and evaluated the effect of BRB incorporation in noodles in terms of chemical and functional attributes. Noodles were prepared with BRB as an ingredient at different levels (2%, 5%, 10%, and 15%). Addition of BRB (5%, 10%, and 15%) significantly decreased the cohesiveness of noodles in texture evaluation. Noodles with different levels of BRB were functionally evaluated and content of polyphenolics, flavonoids, and anthocyanins were improved compared to the control. Additionally, antioxidant activity of BRB noodles was increased compared to the control. BRB can be an excellent ingredient to increase the nutritional value and antioxidant properties of noodles.
