The mechanism of enzymatic hydrolysis of raw corn starch by the purified glucoamylase and a - amylase in an agitated bead reaction system was studied by investigating the changes of sugar profiles produced by each enzyme, the granular structure of raw corn starch, the amount of enzyme adsorption on residual starch, and the amylose content in residual raw starch. The sugar profiles produced by the action of exo-type glucoamylase or endo-type $\alpha$ -amylase in an agitated bead system were not recognizably differed with those produced in reaction system without bead. Without enzyme the intergenic microcrystalline structure of starch granule was not changed by the simple mechanical impact of solid media, but it was cleaved. However, starch granule was fragment into large number of small particles by the synergistic action of enzyme and attrition-milling media, identified to be the major saccharification enhancing mechanism along with the increased amount of enzyme adsorption. The amylose content decreased more readily in an agitated bead reaction system, especially by $\alpha$ -amylase.

This study was investigated to examine gelatinization properties of waxy black rice starches. X-ray diffraction patterns in raw starches showed traditional A type of cereals. The crystalline regions of both black rice and Shinsunchalbyeo starches disappeared when temperature increased to $65^{\circ}C$ where the crystalline regions of two starches changed to amorphous ones. Scanning Electron Microscope showed that granule type of Shinsunchalbyeo starch was more collapsed compared to that of black rice starch heated at 6$0^{\circ}C$. Gelatinization in both samples completed when samples were heated at 63$^{\circ}C$. The results by Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) revealed that gelatinization patterns were similar in both samples. In Rapid Visco Analyzer examination, there was no difference in peak viscosity, breakdown, final viscosity and setback between Shinsunchalbyeo and waxy black rice starches.

Corn starch was saccharified without cooking in an agitated bead reaction system. Uncooked corn starch was effectively hydrolyzed even at the concentration as high as 39%(w/v). After 24 hours. the extent of saccharification reached at 92%, which corresponds glucose concentration of 425g/L. Fed-batch feeding of starch was more effective than batch feeding for saccharification of uncooked corn starch. The composition of hydrolysated of uncooked starch was analyzed. which was composed of 95% glucose, 0.7% of maltose, and 4.5% of high saccharide, similar with that of cooked starch. The hydrolysate can be successfully utilized for HFCS manufacture. The starch liquefying and saccharifying enzyme was relatively stable even be the physical impact of the attrition-milling media. The enzyme stabilizer, $Ca^{++}$, played an essential role in preventing the enzyme deactivation caused by the physical impact.

Molecular structural properties of Japonica and Tongil type waxy rice starches were compared. The general properties including water-binding capacity, swelling power at $80^{\circ}C$, intrinsic viscosity, leach loss at $98^{\circ}C$ and ${\beta}-amylolysis$ limit were similar but the chain length was slightly different between the two starches. Similar elution profiles on Sephadex G-50 were obtained when the starches were treated with ${\beta}-amylase$. The pullulanase treated starches however showed different elution patterns each other. The ${\beta}-amylolysis$ of acid-treated (2 days) starches linearly increased as hydrolysis time prolonged. When the acid-treated starches were hydrolyzed with ${\beta}-amylase$ or pullulanase, the elution profiles on Sepharose CL-2B were considerably different from those of native starches.

Rheological properties of Shinsunchalbyeo(Japonica) and $Hangangchalbyeo(J{\times}Indica)$ waxy-rice starches gelatinized with thermal or alkali solutions were investigated with rotational viscometer(Brabender Viscotron). The two starches showed Bingham pseudoplastics behavior in $4{\sim}8%$ thermal or alkali gelatinized starch solutions. The shear stress of Hangangchalbyeo starch solution gelatinized with thermal or alkali showed higher values than that of Shinsunchalbyeo starch and the difference of the two varieties gelatinized with alkali showed higher values than that gelatinized with thermal. Consistency index and yield stress values of Hangangchalbyeo starch showed higher than that of Shinsunchalbyeo starch in the two gelatinized methods and the difference of the two varieties gelatinized with alkali showed higher values. And it was higher that the deffendence of consistency index on starch concentration and initial starch concentration of yield stress in the alkali gelatinized samples than those of in the thermal gelatinized ones.

Flow behaviors of rice starch-water systems containing 3-9% (w/v) of native and gelatinized starch solutions were studied with the capillary tube rheometer in the temperature range of $30-80^{\circ}C$. Flow behaviors of rice starch-water systems showed non-Newtonion behavior which could be expressed as ${\gamma}{\;}=\;{\psi}(^{\tau}g_c-{\tau}_yg_c)^N$. Flow parameters ${\psi}$, N and $^{\tau}_y$ were determined for native and gelatinized solutions. These parameters indicated that native rice starch solution shows a dilatancy and the gelatinized solution ranges from pseudoplastic to mixed type flow behavior with increasing concentrations. The value of flow behavior index for gelatinized solutions was about 1.2 in all samples but for native solutions, the values were 0.87-0.90. The values of yield stress, which were negligible below 5%, were increased with the increase in concentration from 5 to 9%. The value of consistency index was exponentially dependent on concentration and temperature. The values of activation energy for native and gelatinized solutions were 0.13-2.71 and 5.39-9.57 kcal/g mole, respectively.

Uncooked starch can be effectively saccharified in an enzyme reaction system containing attrition-milling media. To develope the high efficiency bioattritor, an agitated bead type bioreactor was constructed, and its effectiveness was evaluated. The optimal operation condition of bioattritor was found to be 300 g glass bead/L, 200 rpm, standard type impeller for 220 g/L of uncooked corn starch. The torque under the various operational conditions were also measured. The interrelation-ship between energy consumption for agitation of attrition-milling media and enhanced extent of saccharification of uncooked starch was evaluated, Power consumption was measured to be around 1.53 watt/L under the optimal operation condition. The attrition coupled enzyme reaction system is identified to tie a very excellent energy saying process for saccharification of uncooked starch, and seems to have a bright prospect of industrial application.

To measure theological properties of the starch dough, an Extrusion Capillary Viscometer(ECV) cell was self-made and attached to Instron machine(Model 1140). Apparent viscosities of corn and waxy corn starch doughs were measured and their gelatinization degrees were determined by enzymatic analysis. The effects of heating temperature on the viscosity of starch dough with $36{\sim}52%$ moisture contents were examined in terms of Arrhenius equation. The activation emergy(Ea) of the dough viscosity from the effect of heating temperatures changed from negative(-) to positive(+), as the moisture content increased from 44% to 48% in the corn starch dough and from 44% to 44% in the waxy corn starch dough.

The mechanical and thermal properties of solutions of acorn starch were investigated, to determine the effect of sucrose on the retrogradation. The contents of moisture and amylose of purified acorn starch was 9.35, 27% respectively. From the moecular weight distribution, Mw and Mn of acorn starch were 1,220,432 and 137,201 relatively and the polydispersity of acorn starch was 8.8952. The creep compliance of acorn starch with and without sucrose were decreased with increasing sucrose concentration in the short term. The temperatures of DSC curve of 15% acorn starch solution containg sucrose shifted slightly to higher temperatures with increasing sucrose content. The enthalpy change associated with the gelatinization was increased with increasing sucrose content. After 7 days storage, the creep compliance of acorn starch gel with sucrose were shown higher than acorn starch gel. Regelatinization enthalpy of acorn starch/sucrose/water system was decreased with increasing sucrose content and increased with storage time. In addition, the characteristic temperatures such as onset temperature, peak temperature and conclusion temperature was increased by sucrose addition. Retrogradation ratio decreased with increasing sucrose content, thus sucrose inhibit retrogradation in the long term. Sucrose acts as an antistaling reagents and retatards the retrogradation.
