Registered Manufacturing Technology Patent for Peach Sikhye Using 'Icheon Rice' by Icheon City

On the 26th, the Icheon Agricultural Technology Center announced that it has developed a manufacturing technology for peach sikhye using rice and peaches, the region's representative agricultural products, and completed patent registration.

This technology produces sikhye using 'Alchanmi,' a representative rice of the Icheon region, and 'Haetsare Peach.' The technology center explained that the saccharification process was optimized to increase the sugar content from rice and reduce the amount of artificial sugar (sugar).

The city transferred this technology to 'Kkumkkuneun Unipam (CEO Jeon Yunhee),' a processing business of Changwon Farm, a local peach-growing farm, and secured food safety through HACCP certification. Currently, this product is being sold through local food markets and Naver Store Farm.

In addition to peach sikhye, the city plans to commercialize other products currently under patent application, such as 'Three-Color Sweet Potato Paste,' 'Kkujippong Fruit Tea,' and 'Icheon Rice Bread,' through technology transfer.

Oh Yongik, head of the Research and Development Division at the Icheon Agricultural Technology Center, said, “We will strive to secure a solid foundation for a converged industry through field-oriented differentiated research and contribute to increasing farmers' income.”
