Studies were carried out to investigate physicochemical properties of taro during the pretreatment process of making Toranbyung. Seventeen kinds of amino acids were found in taro. Aspartic acid and glutamic acid were most plentiful among those amino acids. Essential amino acids were about 42.7% of the total amino acids. Sulfur containing amino acids, mehtionine and cystine were about 2.7% The amylograph indicated that the initial temperature triggering gelatinization of both rice flour mixed with taro and glutinous rice flour mixed with taro increased as the amount of taro increased. But the maximum viscosity of rice flour mixed with taro did not increase as the amount of taroincreased while the maximum viscosity of glutinous rice flour mixed with taro increased as the amount of taro increased. And the peak temperature of both rice flour mixed with taro and glutinous rice flour miced with taro increased as the amount of taro increased. The alkali degree of insoluble ash was higher than that of soluble ash. Glutinous rice dough had more total sugar than rice dough. Yellowness of rice dough was higher than that of glutinous rice dough.
