Abstract

Variation of chalkiness expression in milled waxy rice with the moisture contents of grains was investigated using instrument and naked eye evaluation methods. To find out any effects of varieties and harvesting times on the chalkiness development, rice grains of seven waxy varieties harvested at early, optimal and late times were tested after being sun-dried to have three different moisture contents of about $13.0{\sim}14.5%$, $14.5{\sim}16.0%$ and above 16.0%. The moisture contents of rice grains were distributed in the ranges of about 13.0% to 17.5% with the drying intensity right after harvesting. Although there were some genetical variations in whiteness and degree of transparency of milled rice grains among varieties at the same condition, chalkiness was most significantly affected by the changes of moisture content in all waxy varieties and harvesting times. At the moisture content less than 13.5%, all varieties exhibited waxy unique chalkiness, and at the moisture ranges between 13.5% and 14.0% the chalkiness was more or less affected by harvesting time and varieties. At the moisture content ranges between 14.0% and 16.0%, chalkiness gradually disappeared as with the increase of moisture content. However the degrees of chalkiness loses were strongly depended on individual kernels by showing as if the number of non-waxy rice kernels would be increasing in waxy rice grains with the moisture content increase. At the moisture content above about 16.0%, all waxy kernels lost their unique chalkiness, and showed non-waxy rice appearance.

1. 수확시기에 따른 도정수율은 메벼의 적기수확시기보다 5일정도 늦게 수확하는 것이 높았으며 품종에 따라서는 보석찰벼와 해평찰벼가 도정수율이 높았다. 2. 찹쌀의 특징인 불투명한 유백색은 수분함량 14.0%이상부터 점차 소실되기 시작하여 15.0%대에 마치 멥쌀이 섞인 것처럼 보이다가 16.0%이상에 도달될 경우는 거의 대부분이 멥쌀과 같은 외관을 나타냈다. 3. 수분 증가에 따른 찹쌀의 유백색 소실은 조기에 수확된 벼에서 더 민감하게 나타나기 때문에 가능한 수확시기를 적기 이후로 정하는 것이 건조효율이나 찹쌀 수율 측면에서 더 유리하다고 판단된다. 4. 찹쌀 고유의 유백색 발현을 최대로 하기 위해서는 찰벼 건조수분의 critical point은 13.5%이하였다.
