Abstract
This study was attempted to investigate physicochemical properties, molecular structural properties of native and acid-treated chestnut starch and chestnut starch gel. The amylose content was 18.9% and X-ray diffraction pattern showed Cb type. Swelling power was increased abruptly in the range of $65^{\circ}C{\sim}75^{\circ}C$ but increased slowly after that and solubility was increased abruptly until $70^{\circ}C$ but increased slowly after that. In amylograms which have different heating temperatures, cooling viscosity at $50^{\circ}C$ was reduced as heating temperature was increased. In molecular structural properties of amylose, ${\lambda}_{max}$ was 640 nm, ${\beta}-amylolysis$ limit was 84.2% and the degree of polymerization was 951 and in those of amylopectin, ${\lambda}_{max}$ was 570 nm, ${\beta}-amylolysis$ limit was 58.2%, the degree of polymerization was 1371 and average chain length was 22.6. In gel chromatography elution profiles of starch and amylose, 4.0% and 11.5% of low molecular weight-molecules($<5{\times}10^5$) were leached out. In gel chromatography elution profiles of soluble starch, the higher heating temperature was, the more high molecular weight-starches were leached out. The elution profiles after debranching amylopectin with pullulanase showed 2.2 of the ratio of peakIII(DP 10-15) to peakII(DP 35-45). Acid hydrolysis extent of 2.2 N HCI-treated starch at $35^{\circ}C$ for 10 days was 96% and hydrolysis rate showed two step pattern which had border line at 4 days. In elution profiles of acid treated chestnut starch, amylopectin peak was disappeared compeletly after 6 hrs and converted short chains of DP 10-15. Amylose content was increased until 6 hrs but decreased after that. Hardness of starch gel made at $75^{\circ}C$ of heating temperature and cohesiveness of starch gel made at $85^{\circ}C$ of heating temperature were the highest. Retrogradation rate of starch gels were relatively high, especially for the starch gel made at $75^{\circ}C$ of heating temperature.
밤 전분의 이화학적 성질, 분자구조적 성질, 산처리 전분의 성질, 전분겔의 특성에 대하여 시험하였다. 아밀로오스 함량은 18.9%였고 X-선 회절도는 $C_b$형을 나타내었다. 팽윤력은 $65^{\circ}C{\sim}75^{\circ}C$까지 급격히 증가하고 그보다 높은 온도에서는 완만히 증가하였고, 용해도는 $70^{\circ}C$까지는 직선적으로 증가하나 그보다 높은 온도에서 는 완만히 증가하였다. 가열온도를 $75^{\circ}C,\;85^{\circ}C,\;95^{\circ}C$로 달리한 아밀로그래프에서 $50^{\circ}C$에서의 냉각점도는 가열온도가 증가함에 따라 낮아졌다. 밤 전분 아밀로오스의 최대흡수파장은 640nm, ${\beta}$-아밀라아제 분해한도는 84.2%, 중합도는 951이었고 아밀로펙틴의 최대흡수파장은 570nm, ${\beta}$-아밀라아제 분해한도는 58.2%, 중합도는 1371, 평균사슬길이는 22.6이었다. 전분 및 아밀로오스의 겔 크로마토그래피 용출결과 저분자량($<5{\times}10^5$)의 분자들이 각각 4.0%, 11.5%로 용출되었다. $75^{\circ}C,\;85^{\circ}C,\;95^{\circ}C$ 등 세 온도에서 용출한 가용성 전분의 겔 크로마토그래피 용출양상에서 높은 온도에서 용출한 것일수록 큰 분자량의 전분이 많이 용출되었다. 아밀로펙틴을 pullulanase로 분해시켰을 때 얻어진 가지부분들의 분자량분포에서 피크II(DP 35-45)에 대한 피크III(DP 10-15)의 비율은 2.2였다. 2.2 N HCI로 $35^{\circ}C$에서 10일간 산처리한 밤 전분의 가수분해율은 96%에 이르렀고 가수분해는 4일째를 경계로 두 단계의 다른 가수분해 속도를 나타내었다. 산처리 전분의 겔 크로마토그래피 용출양상에서 초기 6시산 후에 아밀로펙틴 피크가 완전히 사라졌고 산처리 기일이 증가함에 따라 DP 10-15의 짧은 사슬로 분해되었다. 아밀로오스 함량은 산처리 6시간 후까지는 증가하다 그 이후는 감소하였다. 밤 전분겔의 견고성은 $75^{\circ}C$로 가열하여 만든 전분겔에서 가장 높았고 응집성은 $85^{\circ}C$로 가열하여 만든 전분겔에서 가장 높았다. 전분겔의 노화속도는 비교적 빨랐으며 특히 $75^{\circ}C$로 가열하여 만든 전분겔에서 가장 빨랐다.
