This study has been carried out in order to investigate the physicochemical properties of two small red bean starches. Some of rheological properties of the starch gels were also studied by experiments of various starch concentrations. Water binding capacity of black bean starch was 172.3% and that of red bean starch was 199.0%. Black bean starch had lower swelling power than red bean starch, but the solubility of the black bean starch was higher. When the temperature increased from 60$^{\circ}C$ to 70$^{\circ}C$, the transmittance of two starches rapidly increased. The gelatinized temperature in DSC for black bean was 66.2$^{\circ}C$ and that for red bean was 66.0$^{\circ}C$. Black bean and red bean starches had the blue vlaues of 0.55 and 0.56 and the alkali numbers of 4.40 and 4.13. The molecular weight of amylose was 40,000 and 33,611. The amylose contents of two starches were same at 52%. Brabender Amylographs of two small red bean starch pastes showed C pattern, which is stable. The results of compression test pointed out that TPA parameters varied with the change of storage time, and black bean starch gels had the higher TPA value. The retrogradation study by glucoamylase digestion method revealed that red bean starch gels were more easily retrogradated than black bean. X-ray diffraction patterns of two small red bean starches were A pattern, and diffraction peaks disappeared with gelatinization of starches.

The quality characteristics of breads made by adding levels of 30%, 60%, and 100% aloe gel were investigated. The 60% aloe gel sample had a larger dough volume than the control dough. Also, the loaf volume and specific volume of the bread made with 60% aloe gel were larger than those of the control bread. The pasting temperature increased gradually with the increasing amounts of substituted aloe gel as compared to wheat flour with water added$(66.5{\pm}12^{\circ}C)$; the wheat flour with 100% aloe gel had a pasting temperature of $90.7{\pm}1.1^{\circ}C$. Peak viscosity decreased gradually with increasing amounts of aloe gel when compared to the wheat flour with water added. Setback also was decreased gradually with the increasing amounts of aloe gel as compared to the wheat flour with added water. From the setback decrease it is suggested that the aloe controlled retrogradation of the bread during short-term storage. The crumb color of the bread made with the aloe gel was not significantly different to that of the control bread, and the color of the crumb was yellow-white. Bread hardness decreased gradually with increasing amounts of the substituted aloe gel. However, bread gumminess and chewiness increased gradually with increasing amounts of aloe gel. The springiness of the bread made with 100% aloe gel was lower than that of the control bread. With regard to flavor and taste, the bread made with 100% aloe gel produced a green-like odor and had a bitter taste. The mouth feel of the breads made with aloe gel was considered soft and moist. The overall acceptabilities of the breads made with 30% and 60% aloe gel were not significantly different from the control bread, but the bread made with 100% aloe gel had a green smell and bitter taste. Yet accordingly, the results indicate that functional and health products with improved quality could be developed by adding aloe gel to breads and cakes.

The aim of this present study was to evaluate the effects of gamma-irradiation on the microbial and physicochemical characteristics of the rice flour porridge. The viscosity of the gamma-irradiated rice flour porridge was decreased as compared to that of the control. The soluble solid and reducing sugar content of the rice flour porridge was increased according to the gamma irradiation dose, while the blue value was decreased. From the results of a DSC curve, it was suggested that gamma irradiation delayed the retrogradation of the cooked rice flour porridge. The sensory score for overall acceptance and the chewing times for swallowing of the porridge, decreased with gamma irradiation doses above 3 kGy. Based on these results gamma irradiation may significantly enhance the swallowability of rice porridge, especially for elderly or infant subjects who have decreased mastication. However, more research is needed to improve the sensory qualities for the industrial application.

The effects of mugwort on some physicochemical properties of rice flour, on the viscosity of rice flour pastes (2 and 4%), on the hardness and the freeze-thaw stability of rice flour gels (20 and 40%), and on the degree of gelatinization (DG) of pastes and gels were investigated. By addition of mugwort, water holding capacity, swelling power, and solubility of rice flour were increased. The rice flour pastes became thicker by addition of mugwort, but viscosities of both the rice flour pastes and the rice flour-mugwort pastes, without noticeable difference between them, were decreased during storage at $25^{\circ}C\;and\;4^{\circ}C$ for 7 days. The rice flour gels became firmer by addition of mugwort and hardnesses of both the rice flour gels and the rice flour-mugwort gels were increased during storage, especially at $4^{\circ}C$. DGs, measured by glucoamylase digestion, of pastes and gels were decreased slightly during storage. Freeze-thaw stability of gels was not affected by addition of mugwort.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of emulsifiers on the quality of steamed bread. initial pasting temperature of the flour was decreased from $63.8^{\circ}C$ to $59.40{\sim}62.95^{\circ}C$ by adding 1% of emulsifiers such as monoglyceride, lecithin, sugar ester and diacetyl tartaric acid esters of mono- and diglycerides (DATEM). But other rheological properties of the doughs were varied with different emulsifiers. Flour with 1% sugar ester showed the lowest value of final viscosity and set back, therefore sugar ester might be effective for retard the retrogradation of bread. By alveogram test, flour with 1% DATEM showed the highest value of P (tenacity) but the lowest value of L (extensibility), that means DATEM might be effective for strengthening tenacity of dough but it lowered extensibility. After 72 hours of storage test, the steamed bread based on the flour with 1% monoglyceride showed the best crumb softness and the highest score of sensory test.

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is one of the most important food crops in the world. The eating quality of cooked rice is the most important trait japonica rice breeding in Korea. Rice varieties that produce kernels that are firm and fluffy after cooking are generally favored in countries such as India, Pakistan, and Indonesia. Whereas varieties with kernels that maintain its shape, glossiness, savory odor, stickiness, and tenderness when cooked are preferred in Korea. This study analyzed the major physicochemical components of rice grain associated with the eating quality of 20 japonica rice varieties. Physicochemical components such as the amylose content, protein content, amylographic characteristics of polished rice, and texture of cooked rice were tested using a Tensipresser as alternative indirect methods in determining rice eating quality. Evaluation of eating quality of cooked rice using sensory test was conducted with 20 well trained members. The 20 rice varieties in different eating quality showed amylose contents of 17~20%. The amylose content of rice varieties had negative correlation with peak viscosity, however positive correlation with setback viscosity was observed. The stickiness and adhesiveness of cooked rice showed correlation with the amylose content and amylopectin chain length distribution. Rice varieties with good eating quality showed less retrogradation of cooked rice and higher hot viscosity of rice flour in amylogram.

This study was performed to evaluate the quality characteristics of sourdough bread with addition of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) in the antibacterial activity. The starter cultures were used for sourdough bread to increase bread shelf-life: Lactobacillus fermentum, Lactobacillus paracasei KB28, and Pediococcus pentosaceus MJK7. The results showed that the viable counts of lactic acid bacteria were increased in 8.1~9.2 log $cfu/m{\ell}$, respectively. The pH of the three sourdoughs was lower than that of control. In the texture characteristics, hardness, gumminess, and chewiness were tended to increase on the sourdough bread. Among the three sourdough breads, bread volume and retrogradation of bread were not significantly different. According to the results from preservation period, the sourdough breads with addition of Lb. paracasei KB28, Ped. pentosaceus MJK7 were showed the appearance of mold and bacteria growth in 5~6 days, whereas the control were showed in 3 days. As a result, a sensory evaluation indicated the highest overall acceptance in order of Lb. fermentum, Lb. paracasei KB28, Ped. pentosaceus MJK7. Based on these results, Lb. paracasei KB28 can be applicable to improve the quality of sourdough bread.

The principal objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of the addition of sourdough to bread dough, specifically with regard to the physicochemical characteristics of bread dough, organoleptic evaluation, and bread storage. Marked increases in lactic acid bacterial counts $10^{9-10}CFU/g$ in dough samples with 30, 50, and 100% of added sourdough to the respective bread dough were observed after the first fermentation period of the dough, but decreases were observed in yeast cells. The highest overall acceptance scores were recorded for the 100% sourdough-added bread, and almost no differences in taste and texture were detected between the regular bread (control bread) and sourdough-added bread on the sensory evaluations, with slightly lower evaluation scores (for sour taste) in the sourdough-added bread. The sourdoughadded bread also showed retarded mold growth in the bread on our storage tests. Six days had elapsed prior to the appearance of mold growth in the sourdough-added bread, whereas three days elapsed in the regular bread. The more sourdough was added to the dough, the less was the total count in bread. Increases of 13.1, 20.9, and 36.2% in the retardation of starch retrogradation of the bread were observed as the result of additional increases in sourdough quantity to bread at 30, 50, and 100%, respectively.

This study was attempted to enhance nutritional value of cooked rice by adding milk in cooking water. Cooked and soaked rice with five different levels of milk in cooking water (0%, A: 30%, B: 50%, C: 70%, D: 100%, E) was tested for rheological parameters, fine structural changes, sensory evaluation. 1. Water absorbance of raw rice in cooking water with varying amountes of milk, was tested at $5^{\circ}C$ and $15^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours. Water absorption ratio was decreased as milk content was increased and soaking temperature was low. Time for maximum water absorption of sample A was 40 min at 1$15^{\circ}C$ but for sample B to D, it was not reached until 120 min. 2. Electronmicroscopic observation revealed that starch granules of rice lost their regular forms by soaking for 90 minutes, but recovered most of initial regularity after 24 hours. Increase in milk content of soaking water decreased marginal sharpness of the starch granule, presumably due to reduced swelling of the granule. 3. Degree of gelatinization of cooked rice was highest in sample A and progressively decreased as milk content was increased. It was, however, increased in all samples when the cooking water to rice ratio was raised from 160% to 180%. During 4 hour storage, rates of retrogradation were not different between A and B samples, but those of C, D and E were about 2.5 times higher than A and B under the optimal condition of 170% cooking water to rice ratio. This was in the order reverse to hardness order of AC>A, D＞E at cooking water to rice ratios of 160% and 170%, above which A sample surpassed the rest of samples. 4. Sensory evaluation conducted by fifteen university students as panelists showed that there were more significant differences among five samples in flavour, texture than appearance and a notable preference for b and C over A, D and E.

Corn starch was modified by the oxidation with sodium hypochlorite(NaOCl) and the changes in the distribution of molecular weight were examined. Corn starch was oxidized with 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1.0, and 1.5% active Cl/g of starch at pH 7.0 and 25$^{\circ}C$ for 10 min. Oxidation of corn starch caused a change in the molecular weight distribution of amylopectin. The fraction of highest molecular weight in native starch decreased gradually and the fraction of lower molecular weight increased with increasing oxidation. Also, λ$\sub$max/ and iodine binding capacities of oxidized starches decreased and the soluble carbohydrate content increased by oxidation. The differential scanning calorimetric results of oxidized starches showed that the temperature and enthalpies of gelatinization were not changed by oxidation; however, the more the starch was oxidized, the greater the extent of retrogradation.
