Abstract:The physicochemical and structural characteristics of highyield, tongil type mirchal glutinous rice, Milyang 328 (hereafter referred to as mirchal ), were compared to those of a set of well-characterized glutinous rice varieties i.e., baegokchal, dongjinchal, and sinseonchal. The results revealed that mirchal exhibited the highest crude protein content (8.47%), water binding capacity (209.00%), and swelling power (55.82 g/g) under long term soaking. Analysis under identical conditions revealed that mirchal ric… Show more
