Abstract

Rheological characteristics of starch isolated from germinated corn were investigated and compared with those of nongerminated corn starch. Flow behavior of both starches were Bingham psudoplastic. Consistency index and yield stress of germinated starch solution were lower than those of nongerminated starch solution, while flow behavior index was nearly similar. Concentration dependency of both starch solutions were similar to each other but lower temperature dependency of germinated starch solution was observed. Time dependent characteristics of both starches showed thixotropic behavior, but due to germination, germinated starch showed higher structural decay under shear than nongerminated starch and its elastic properties was weaker.

발아 옥수수로 부터 분리한 전분의 리올로지 특성을 생옥수수 전분과 비교검토하면서 조사하였다. 발아전분의 유동형태는 생전분과 마찬가지로 빙햄 의가소성 거동을 보였으나 발아전분 호화액의 점조도지수 및 항복응력은 생전분보다 낮은 값을 보였고, 유동거동지수는 비슷한 값을 보였다. 정조도지수의 온도 의존성은 발아전분이 생전분보다 낮았으나 농도 의존성은 변화가 없었다. 발아전분의 시간 의존특성은 생전분과 마찬가지로 틱소트로픽 거동을 보였으나 발아로 인하여 생전분에 비하여 전단하의 구조붕괴가 컸으며 탄성적 성질은 약한 특성을 나타내었다.
