Abstract
The effects of concentrations of sulfur dioxide (0.16-0.20%) and steeping times (25-50hr) at $52^{\circ}C$ on the changes in pH of steep water and weight and volume of corn and starch properties were investigated. The pH of steep water increased and remained constant after steeping time of 20 hours. The degree of weight or volume gain decreased as the concentration of sulfur dioxide increased. The protein content of starch increased as the concentration of sulfur dioxide increased. Water·binding capacity of starch showed the highest value at the steeping time of 35 hours. Swell ins power and solubility decreased as cocentration of sulfur dioxide and steeping time increased. The initial pasting temperature and peak viscosity were increased and decreased, respectively, as the concentration of sulfur dioxide increased. At the same concentration of sulfur dioxide, the peak viscosity was increased and then decreased. Viscosity of starch in sodium hydroxide solution tended to decrease as the concentration of sulfur dioxide and sleeping time increased. The gel volume of starch in 3M KSCN solution was not affected by concentration of sulfur dioxide and steeping time.
옥수수를 아황산의 농도(0.16-0.20%)와 침지시간 (25-50시간)을 달리하여 $52^{\circ}C$에서 침지하면서 침지액의 pH, 옥수수의 흡수성질 전분의 성질을 분석하였다. 침지액의 pH는 침지 5시간까지 급격히 증가하였고 20시간 이후에는 일정한 값을 유지하였다. 침지 중 옥수수의 수분 및 부피증가는 아황산 농도가 증가할수록 감소하였다. 전분의 단백질 함량은 아황산 농도가 증가할수록 증가하였으나, 조회분이나 인은 큰 차이를 보이지 않았다. 전분의 물 결합 능력 및 아밀로그래프의 점도지표는 모두 아황산 농도에 관계없이 침지 35시간에서 가장 높은 값을 보였다. 전분의 팽윤력과 용해도 그리고 NaOH 용액에 의한 호화점도는 아황산 농도가 증가할수록 감소하였다.
