The objective of this study was to investigate the adequate storage method that was able to maintain the high quality of rough rice according to storage methods and period. The quality change of the rough rice during the storage period was evaluated by storage method such as cooling bin using winter cold air, ordinary temperature bin, freezing, refrigeration and indoor storage. Moisture content, brown rice whiteness, hardness, crack ratio and germination ratio were measured in this study. Moisture content of rough rice stored in cooling bin using winter cold air and ordinary temperature bin were decreased by 0.07% and 0.42%, respectively, which were lower than the other storage method. The hardness of brown rice increased in order of storage method such as winter cooling bin, normal bin, freezing storage, refrigeration storage and indoor storage. Crack ratio by indoor and ordinary temperature bin storage were increased by 2.68% and 3.63%, respectively, whereas cooling bin using winter cold air, refrigeration and freezing storage showed below 1.0%. The highest germination rate was found in cooling bin using winter cold air. As a result, cooling bin using winter cold air can be evaluated for the adequate storage method of rough rice.
