  • Evaluation of Japonica Rice (Oryza Sativa L.) Varieties and Their Improvement in Terms of Stability, Yield and Cooking Quality by Pure-Line Selection in Thailand

Recently, the agronomic traits of DOA1 and DOA2 were altered, affecting yield and cooking quality. Thus, the objectives of this study were to evaluate the agronomic traits and cooking quality of DOA1 and DOA2 and those of exotic japonica varieties in different locations, including the Kamphaeng Saen and Phan districts (WS16). DOA2 was improved by pure-line selection. The results showed that the Phan district was better suited to grow japonica varieties than the Kamphaeng Saen district and that DOA2 produced high grain yields in both locations. Furthermore, DOA2 was selected by the pure-line method in four generations, after which five candidate lines, Tana1 to Tana5, were selected for yield trials. The results of yield trials in three seasons (WS17, DS17/18, WS18) confirmed that Tana1 showed high performance in terms of its agronomic traits and grain yield.

  • Production and Analysis of Volatile Flavor Compounds in Sweet Fermented Rice (Khao Mak)
    MATEC Web of Conferences 192, 03044 (2018) https://doi.org/10.1051/matecconf/201819203044 ICEAST 2018 Production and analysis of volatile flavor compounds in sweet fermented rice (Khao Mak) Jittimon Wongsa1,*, Vilai Rungsardthong2, and Tamaki Yasutomo3 1Department of Agricultural Engineering for Industry, Faculty of Industrial Technology and Management, King Mongkut's University of Technology North Bangkok Prachinburi Campus, Prachinburi, Thailand 2Department of Agro-Industrial, Food and Environmental Technology, Faculty of Applied Science, Food and Agro-Industry Research Center, King Mongkut’s University of Technology North Bangkok, Bangkok, Thailand 3Department of Bioresource Technology, National Institute of Technology, Okinawa National College of Technology, Okinawa, Japan Abstract. Khao Mak is a sweet fermented rice-based dessert with a unique flavor profile commonly found throughout Thailand. The traditional starter culture (Look Pang) contains yeast, mold and herbs, which is used to ferment cooked glutinous rice. This research studied production of Khao Mak which resulted in volatile flavor compounds that were affected by rice varieties, including white glutinous rice (Kor Khor 6), Japanese rice (Hitomebore) and black glutinous rice (Kam Doi and Leum Phua). Total soluble solids (TSS) as degree Brix, pH, and alcohol concentrations were measured daily during the fermentation period. Volatile flavor compounds were separated and identified by gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS). At the end of the fermentation, samples had pH ranging from 3.91±0.16 to 4.30±0.09, total soluble solids of 32.65±1.65 to 44.02±1.72qBrix, and alcohol concentrations between 0.33±0.03 and 0.38±0.03% (v/v). The potent odors associated with Khao Mak were alcohol, wine-like, whiskey-like, solvent-like, sweet and fruity.

  • Alkaline Acid Food Chart This Chart Shows the Contribution of Various Food Substances to the Acidifying of Body Fluids
    << Are You Eating Enough Alkaline Foods? >> Alkaline Acid Food Chart This chart shows the contribution of various food substances to the acidifying of body fluids. In general, it is important to eat a diet that contains foods from both sides of the chart. Allergic reactions and other forms of stress tend to produce acids in the body. The presence of high acidity indicates that more of your foods should be selected from the alkalizing group. Check your pH using our Personal pH Test Kit to find out if your selections are providing the desired balance. We hope you will find this chart helpful on your journey to better health.

  • Umami Café by AJINOMOTO CO
    Umami Café BY AJINOMOTO CO. The Tea Experience For centuries, green tea has been treasured throughout Asia for its healthful, restorative qualities. In Japan, Zen priests drank green tea to keep them awake through long hours of meditation. In the 16th century, a man named Sen no Rikyù, influenced by the study of Zen, envisioned a path to enlightenment through the simple act of sharing a bowl of tea among friends in the spirit of peace and harmony—a practice he called wabi-cha. For Rikyu, making tea while mindfully engaging all the senses was to have a complete Zen experience. We are pleased to have you share a moment of quiet joy with us and experience the spirit of Japanese culture through a simple bowl of tea. Tea Sets We’ve paired traditional teas with Japanese sweets. A great place to start. Matcha with Hanabira Mochi GF V $14 Sencha with Fried Rice A bowl of hand-whisked, jade green matcha is paired with a traditional Japanese tea ceremony sweet.
