    <p>In this study, we investigated the effects of temperature during the ripening period (August temperatures in the production area) on the appearance quality, enzyme activity, taste, and viscoelasticity of rice produced using the “Koshihikari” rice cultivar. (1) The percentage of cracked and broken grains increased with increase in temperature during the ripening period. (2) A positive correlation was found between α-amylase activity and the ratio of immature white grains (r=0.92). (3) The taste and hardness decreased with an increase in temperature during the ripening period.</p>

    <p>The purpose of this study was to clarify the rice endosperm glycolytic enzyme activity and the viscoelasticity affect the taste evaluation of polished rice of different varieties, production areas, and production years, as an applied study that reflects the actual conditions of rice in circulation. That is, the level of each enzyme activity of various polished rice was quantified, and the differences were examined. In addition, viscoelasticity measurements of cooked rice and a taste evaluation test were carried out. We investigated the relationship between enzyme activity and viscoelasticity with taste, and obtained the following findings. 1. The level of enzyme activity had a high correlation with the hardness of cooked rice and the freshness of polished rice. 2. Among the enzymes, the level of β-galactosidase activity had the highest correlation with taste. 3. The viscoelasticity affected the taste of cooked rice and was particularly highly correlated with the hardness and stickiness of cooked rice. 4. The higher the activity levels of the starch-degrading and cell wall polysaccharide-degrading enzymes, the softer the cooked rice. 5. The results of the taste sensory evaluation test and the index of the “Shokumi Kanteidan” obtained from the appearance, hardness, stickiness, and freshness of cooked rice showed a correlation with the level of enzyme activity and the viscoelasticity.</p>

    <p>The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of the application of eggshells to rice fields for calcium fortification on the quality of the cooked rice. The protein content and the amylose rate of each polished rice sample were not different from those of the control sample, and the taste analyzer values were almost the same. No clear difference in the calcium content of rice endosperm could be confirmed. However, the surface and overall hardness of the cooked rice grown with 100 or 200 kg of eggshell/10 a were increased in comparison to those of the control, and the stickiness of the surface also tended to be increased. Moreover, the characteristic value of the expansion volume of the cooked rice was increased, and it was inferred that the thermal behavior of the cell wall had changed, which affected the hardness and graininess of the cooked rice. In addition, the enzyme activity of the rice endosperm was lower than that of the control, and the absorbance at the maximum absorption wavelength of the iodine absorption spectrum of the eluted starch during cooking was increased. From these results, it was demonstrated that the application of eggshells to rice fields improved the graininess of the cooked rice and tended to increase the stickiness. It was also suggested that the effect of eggshell application on the cooked rice was not due to an accumulation of calcium in rice endosperm, but a complex and indirect effect on metabolic changes.</p>

    <p>In this study, we analyzed the molecular properties and thermal behavior of dried egg white (DEW) proteins to understand the mechanisms underlying DEW gel hardening via dry-heat treatment. Dry-heat-treated DEW proteins displayed a higher surface negative charge and more isopeptide bonds, such as those in lanthionine and lysinoalanine. In addition, secondary structure and surface hydrophobicity measurements suggested that structural changes that occur during heating in solution were suppressed in dry-heat-treated DEW. The size of the protein aggregates did not change during heating in the diluted solution, and was almost the same as that of the gel structure unit.</p><p>These results indicated that the structural changes of the protein in solution were restricted due to isopeptide bonds, and that the surface negative charge of the protein caused intermolecular repulsion. Consequently, protein interactions were limited, and the proteins formed a finer and more homogeneous network, which is believed to harden the gel.</p>
