1)Values with different small letters in the same column are significantly different by Duncan's multiple range test (p<0.05). (a>b>c).
2)Saccharified solution was obtained by incubation of germinated rice in water at 45℃ for 20 min, at 60℃ for 25 min, at 65℃ for 80 min, at 72℃ for 15 min, and at 78℃ for 5 min.
