High amylose corn starch and dextrin (acid-treated at 30, 40 and 50℃ denominated as Dextrin30, Dextrin40 and Dextrin50) were added to non-fried instant noodles. X-ray diffraction pattern, water absorption, cooking loss, microstructure, and textural properties of non-fried instant noodles were investigated. The addition of high amylose corn starch/dextrin induced a slight peak intensity at 20o in the X-ray pattern indicating the insignificant formation of amylose-lipid complex. Non-fried instant noodles including high amylose corn starch/dextrin showed lower water absorption than the control. Dense microstructure in transverse section of noodles was observed in non-fried instant noodles including high amylose corn starch/dextrin except Dextrin50. Also, the addition of high amylose corn starch/dextrin induced low tensile strength, high firmness, and high stickiness. However, non-fried instant noodles containing Dextrin50 showed a loose microstructure and high cooking loss (3.98%), which might be associated with the textural properties such as the lowest tensile strength (0.17 N), lowest increase in firmness (46.77 N) and highest stickiness (18.43 N).

This study focused on assessing the solubility and structural characteristics of two types of coenzyme $Q_{10}$ ($CoQ_{10}$) complexes: the $CoQ_{10}$-starch and the $CoQ_{10}$-cyclodextrin complexes. The solubility of $CoQ_{10}$-starch complex increased significantly as the temperature was increased. However, the solubility of $CoQ_{10}$-cyclodextrin complex reached a peak at $37^{\circ}C$, and strong aggregation occurred at $50^{\circ}C$. When the temperature was raised to $80^{\circ}C$, the $CoQ_{10}$-cyclodextrin complex dissociated owing to the weakening of bonds, resulting in $CoQ_{10}$ emerging at the surface of water. Therefore, $CoQ_{10}$-cyclodextrin complexes have lower solubility, due to their reduced heat-stability, than do the $CoQ_{10}$-starch complexes. Structural differences between the two $CoQ_{10}$ complexes were confirmed by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffractometer (XRD), and differential scanning calorimeter (DSC). The $CoQ_{10}$-cyclodextrin complex included an isoprenoid chain of $CoQ_{10}$, while the $CoQ_{10}$-starch complex included both the benzoquinone ring and the isoprenoid chain of $CoQ_{10}$. These results suggest that $CoQ_{10}$-starch complexes possess higher heat-stability and solubility than do the $CoQ_{10}$-cyclodextrin complexes.

The objective of this study was to investigate the physicochemical properties of rice starch extracted from stale rice using alkaline steeping (AKL) and improved enzymatic digestion (iENZ) methods. The crude protein content (0.5-0.7%) of stale rice starch (SRS) was less than 1% by iENZ, but not so when measured by the existing ENZ methods. SRS is an intermediate amylose rice starch. AKL-SRS and iENZ-SRS exhibited typical A-type crystal packing arrangements with similar relative crystallinities. iENZ-SRS showed higher gelatinization onset and peak temperatures with a narrower gelatinization temperature range, compared to those of AKL-SRS, indicating that iENZ annealed SRS. Thus, iENZ-SRS exhibited lower swelling power and solubility, and higher pasting viscosities with delayed viscosity development. Overall, the use of stale rice as a rice starch source could make economical production of rice starch possible, and iENZ may diversify rice starch characteristics, which expands the utilization of rice starch in food and non-food industries.

In order to understand the difference in rice eating quality, two rice varieties having different eating qualities were examined from the correlation between palatability score (Toyo value) and components of lipid in rice endosperm. We also analyzed the relationship between lipid properties and physicochemical characteristics of milled rice. Major fatty acids of milled rice starch-lipids, known to exist as inclusion complexes with amylose in starch granules, were palmitic (38.25% in Gopum and 39.75% in Palgong) and linoleic aicds (33.13% in Gopum and 31.93% in Palgong). In addition, the unsaturated fatty acid contents of rice endosperm showed a significant relationship with palatability. Plant sterols in two rice samples were identified, Gopumbyeo of good eating quality had high contents of squlaene and cycloartenol and similar contents of campesterol, stigmasterol and sitosterol. There were significant differences in pasting properties of rice flours and starches between the two cultivars. These results suggested that rice lipids impact on pasting properties after cooking, subsequently relating to palatability.

Cooking condition of Tarakjuk (milk-rice porridge) was established based on gelatinization temperature using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) of roasted Ilpum rice flour, which has highest enzyme-resistant starch (RS) content. Effect of cooking temperature and time on DSC characteristics, crystallity with X ray diffractogram, RS content, in vitro starch digestibility (IVSD), amino acid composition, and in vitro protein digestibility (IVPD) of Tarakjuk were determined. Tarakjuk was cooked at 50, 56.5, 64, and $69^{\circ}C$ for various durations. Rice flour ingredient used was Ilpum, previously roasted at $185^{\circ}C$ for 25 min. Tarakjuk cooked at 50 and $56.5^{\circ}C$ showed two thermal transitions between $63.7-125.2^{\circ}C$ as determined by DSC, corresponding to endotherms of starch gelatinization $(63.7-73.8^{\circ}C)$ and melting of amylose-lipid complex (AM-lipid complex, $97.7-125.2^{\circ}C$), whereas that cooked at 64 and $69^{\circ}C$ showed only AM-lipid complex melting transition between $96.9-127.6^{\circ}C$. As cooking temperature increased, RS content of Tarakjuk decreased, whereas IVSD increased. Total amino acid content was between 11,558-15,601mg/100g, depending on cooking condition used. Compared with conventionally made control, contents of essential amino acids, such as lysine and tryptophane, were higher at 50 and $56.5^{\circ}C$, and IVPD showed higher increase. Results reveal degree of gelatinization in Tarakjuk with high RS content as well as low IVSD and high IVPD, which are important from physiological and nutritional point of view, can be produced by controlling cooking condition.

Yakju, a Korean traditional alcoholic beverage, is made from rice and Nuruk. In this study, the fermentation characteristics of Yakju was investigated using rice and rice starch. Ingredients was classified into raw material (rice, rice starch) and starter (enzyme supplements, modified Nuruk, traditional Nuruk, and yellow rice koji) for fermentation. The crude protein content of rice, rice starch, and starter were determined as follows (%): rice 6.69, rice starch 0.44, enzyme supplements 7.84, modified Nuruk 15.29, traditional Nuruk 14.28, and yellow rice koji 7.28. The alcohol content of rice with traditional Nuruk ($20.13{\pm}0.12%$) was higher than other Yakju. The concentration of organic acids of rice starch-based Yakju (389.83~538.34 mg%) was higher than that of rice Yakju (259.27~357.70 mg%). The concentration of nitrogen compound of rice Yakju (498.38~5976.93 ppm) was higher than that of rice starch-based Yakju (600.43~4463.79 ppm). In line with these findings, further studies will be necessary for the quality analysis of the rice, rice starch and fermented starter (enzyme supplements, modified Nuruk, traditional Nuruk and yellow rice koji).

In order to investigate structural properties of Chindo black rice(grown in Chindo, Chonnam) starch and its amylopectin, Chindo black rice was investigated in comparison to Shinsun waxy rice. The maximum absorbance wave and intrinsic viscosity of Chindo black rice starch and Shinsun waxy rice starch were 523 nm, 521 nm and 183 ml/g, 178 ml/g, respectively. ${\beta}-amylolysis$ limit(%) of Chindo black rice and Shinsun waxy rice starch were 62.8% and 60.3%, respectively. Chindo black rice was determined to be a waxy rice due to the results of iodine reaction and elution profile on Sephroce CL-2B. The chain of amylopectins in Chindo black rice distributed fraction 1$(F_1)$ of above degree of polymerization$({\overline{DP}})$ 55, fraction 2$(F_2)$ of ${\overline{DP}} $40{\sim}50$ and fraction 3$(F_3)$ of ${\overline{DP}} $15{\sim}20$, and the ratio of $F_3$ to $F_2$ for Chindo black rice was higher than that for Shinsun waxy rice. The super long chain of amylopectin in Chindo black rice was consisted much more than that of Shinsun waxy rice. ${\beta}-limit$ dextrins in Chindo black rice amylopectin distributed $F_1$ of above ${\overline{DP}} 55, $F_2$ of ${\overline{DP}} $30{\sim}45$ and $F_3$ of ${\overline{DP}} $10{\sim}20$. Little difference was shown between elution patterns of the pullulanase treated ${\beta}-limit$ dextrins of Chindo black rice amylopectin and Shinsun waxy rice amylopectin. These results suggest that Chindo black rice starch was similar to Shinsun waxy rice starch.

The physicochemical properties of rice flour roasted at various temperatures and times were analyzed, and the quality characteristics of tarakjuk made from these roasted rice flours were investigated. As roasting temperature and time increased, rice flour showed decreasing moisture, protein content, and glucose the major reducing sugar of rice flour. Total amino acid content did not show any significant changes, but the amount of free amino acids and individual amino acids, such as lysine, tryptophane, and tyrosine, decreased. A decrease in L value and increases in a and b values from both roasted rice flour and tarakjuk was observed. Reduced crystallinity and gelatinization temperatures of roasted rice flour were investigated with X-ray diffractogram and DSC, respectively. The thermal transitions between $100.6{\sim}127.6^{\circ}C$ of tarakjuk by DSC are considered to be due to the melting of amylose-lipid complex. As the roasting temperature and time of rice flours increased, tarakjuk showed lower viscosity and higher spreadability. Sensory characteristics, such as nutty flavor, color intensity, and gritty texture increased significantly. Tarakjuk made from rice flour roasted at $185^{\circ}C$ for 25min showed the highest score on overall preference. From the above results, roasted rice flour produced more preferable tarakjuk than nonroasted flour in terms of sensory quality.

The relationship betwwen the molecular structure of amylopectin and the texture of cooked rice was investigated using Korean rice [3 varieties of Japonica type and 3 varieties of Tongil type(Japonica-Indica breeding type)]. The molecular structure of rice amylopectin was polymodal and distributed A chain of $\overline{DP}$ 12.4, short B chain of $\overline{DP}$ 20.6, B chain of $\overline{DP}$ 26.3, long B chain of $\overline{DP}$ 45 and super long chain of above $\overline{DP}$ 55. The super long chain of amylopectin was composed of long linear chain with poorly branched chain. Also, the super long chain of amylopectin showed positive correlated with average chain length, inherent viscosity and ${\beta}-amyloysis$ limit$({\%})$, but negative correlated with ${\lambda}max$ of iodine reaction of amylopectin. The structural properties of amylopectin in Japonica type were different from those of amylopectin in Tongil type. In relationship between molecular structure of amylopectin and texture of cooked rice, the average chain length, inherent viscosity, ${\beta}-amyloysis$ limit and super long chain of amylopectin was showed a positive correlation with hardness, but a negative correlation with adhesiveness of cooked rice. The long chain of rice amylopectin is the less, the eating quality of cooled rice was the better. These results suggest that the molecular structure of rice amylopectin could be responsible for the texture of cooked rice.
