This study was performed to compare the properties affecting the palatability of 33 commercial brands of rice. Five rice varieties were identified including Chucheongbyeo, Hitomebore, Ilpumbyeo, Nampyeongbyeo, Seachucheongbyeo, were compared in terms of physicochemical characteristics, texture, head riceratio, and palatability through Toyo values. We also analyzed the relationship between grain characteristics and palatability. Amylose content of 5 rice varieties ranged from 17.04-17.98%. Nampyeongbyeo had the lowest and Seachucheongbyeo had the highest content of amylose among rice varieties. The protein content of 5 varieties ranged from 6.72-7.55%. Nampyeongbyeo showed the highest content. The moisture content varied from 13.08-14.83%. Chucheongbyeo has the highest moisture content. The head rice ratio of Ilpumbyeo, Chucheongbyeo, and Seachucheongbyeo were over the 90%, which was lower than that of Japan. Chucheongbyeo had the lowest hardness value and the highest adhesiveness value as measured by texture analyzer. The palatability value was highest in Chucheongbyeo, and the lowest in both Nampyeongbyeo and Ilpumbyeo. The palatability value was negatively correlated with protein content, but positively correlated with texture, moisture content, and head rice ratio. Based on this results, the rice varieties with high palatability had lower contents of amylose and protein, but higher moisture content and head rice ratio. Chucheongbyeo seemed to be the valuable variety with the highest palatability among them.
