Barley flakes were developed by extrusion cooking using broken kernels, by-products of the barley pearling process. Broken kernels from both non-waxy and waxy barley broken kernels were sufficiently gelatinized at the barrel temperature of over $100^{\circ}C$ and the moisture content of broken kernels of over 35%. Cutting and flaking roll separating properties of pellets prepared from non-waxy barley broken kernels were better than those of waxy barley broken kernels. Characteristics of pellets prepared by extrusion cooking in different mixing ratios of non-waxy and waxy barley broken kernels were investigated. As the mixing ratio of waxy barley broken kernels increased, RVA peak viscosity, apparent viscosity, and yield stress of prepared pellets decreased, while flow behavior index increased. As the mixing ratio of waxy barley broken kernels increased, compressive strength and bulk density of deep-fat fried flakes drastically decreased, and the size of air cells on cross-section increased, and thickness of cell-constituting bodies decreased. Sensory evaluation results showed that acceptability for texture and taste of flakes inclosed as the mixing ratio of waxy barley broken kernels increased, and optimum mixing level of waxy barley broken kernels appeared to be 30-40%.

The physicochemical characteristics of ${\beta}-glucan$ isolated from waxy and non-waxy barley were investigated. The hull-less waxy and non-waxy barley containing 6.5% and 5.3% of total ${\beta}-glucan$ respectively, were used as a starting material. The yield and ${\beta}-glucan$ content of crude ${\beta}-glucan$ from waxy barley was 5.54% and 62.9%, respectively, and those were higher than 3.34% and 59.2% from non-waxy barley. The crude ${\beta}-glucan$ purified with selective precipitation and enzymatic treatment to obtain the ${\beta}-glucan$ isolate of high purity (>99%). The total yield of purified ${\beta}-glucan$ from waxy and non-waxy barley was 4.46% and 2.59%, respectively. The surface appearance of the purified ${\beta}-glucan$ by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) showed randomly entangled multi-net structure of ${\beta}-glucan$ microfibrils. The melting temperature of ${\beta}-glucan$ from waxy and non-waxy barley measured by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was $184.6^{\circ}C$, and $180.3^{\circ}C$, respectively. DSC endotherm of ${\beta}-glucan$ solution showed 2 peaks near $68^{\circ}C$ and $84^{\circ}C$. Enthalpy of phase transition was higher in non-waxy ${\beta}-glucan$ than waxy ${\beta}-glucan$, and the intrinsic viscosity of ${\beta}-glucan$ solution from waxy barley was higher than that of non-waxy ${\beta}-glucan$. The pasting viscosity of barley starch with the purified ${\beta}-glucan$ determined by Rapid Visco-Analyzer was higher than that of barley starch without ${\beta}-glucan$, and the effect of ${\beta}-glucan$ on increasing the paste viscosity was greater in non-waxy barley starch.

A total of 107 pearled barley products produced in Korea, 58 non-waxy and 49 waxy, were analyzed for protein and $\beta$-glucan content, whiteness, cooking characteristics (water absorption and expansibility), and pasting properties, with respect to the region of production. We compared non-waxy and waxy pearled barley products and sought correlations between levels of chemical components and cooking characteristics. Waxy pearled barley products had higher concentrations of protein (7.17-12.57%, w/w) and $\beta$-glucan (2.81-7.38%, w/w), a higher whiteness grade (27.1-49.6), and a greater water absorption (218-593%) and expansibility (366-593%) than did non-waxy barley products. The pasting temperature of non-waxy pearled barley ($73.9^{\circ}C$) was higher than that of waxy pearled barley ($66.9^{\circ}C$). Peak viscosity, hot paste viscosity, and final viscosity of non-waxy pearled barley products were higher than those of waxy products. The results showed that waxy pearled barley products had better cooking characteristics than did non-waxy products. A significant positive correlation was observed between protein and $\beta$-glucan content in both non-waxy and waxy pearled barley products ($r=0.632^{***}$ and $r=0.453^{**}$, respectively). Whiteness showed a negative correlation with protein content of both non-waxy and waxy pearled barley products ($r=-0.433^{***}$, $r=-0.343^{**}$). However, neither water absorption nor expansibility showed any significant correlation with protein or $\beta$-glucan content. The waxy ratio of 49 waxy pearled barley products ranged from 84-100%.

A normal and a waxy hull-less barley with similar ${\beta}-glucan$ contents were selected, and the effects of ${\beta}-glucans$ on rheological and pasting properties were investigated by using their flour extracts and isolated ${\beta}-glucan$ gum materials. ${\beta}-Glucans$ in the barley cultivars were extracted in a crude form with alkaline extraction, and the waxy hull-less barley produced more ${\beta}-glucan$ gum yield. The waxy barley also showed higher viscosities of water and alkaline flour extracts, compared to the normal barley. Both normal and waxy barley ${\beta}-glucan$ gums exhibited pseudoplastic flow behavior, and increasing ${\beta}-glucan$ concentration increased viscosity in a similar manner. The normal barley flour had a higher amylograph peak viscosity than did waxy barley flour. On the other hand, waxy barley flour with treatment of $HgCl_2$ demonstrated considerably higher increase in peak viscosity. Pasting characteristics of normal and waxy barley starches in the presence of ${\beta}-glucan$ gum solutions were tested using a rapid visco-analyzer (RVA). ${\beta}-Glucan$ gums increased the pasting viscosities of the barley starches, and the synergistic increase in viscosity appeared to be higher in the normal barley starch.

The rheological properties of ${\beta}-glucans$ isolated from non-waxy and waxy barley were investigated. ${\beta}-Glucan$ solutions showed pseudoplastic properties and their behaviors were explained by applying Power law model in the range of concentrations$(1{\sim}4%)$ and temperatures$(20{\sim}65^{\circ}C)$. The effects of temperature and concentration on the apparent viscosity at $700\;s^{-1}$ shear rate were examined by applying Arrhenius equation and power law equation, and their effect was more pronounced in waxy ${\beta}-glucan$ solutions. The activation energy for flow of ${\beta}-glucan$ solutions decreased with the increase of concentration, and the concentration-dependent constant A increased with the increase of temperature. The intrinsic viscosity of waxy ${\beta}-glucan$ was higher than that of non-waxy ${\beta}-glucan$. The transition from dilute to concentrate region occurred at a critical coil overlap parameter $C^*[{\eta}]=0.02.$ The slopes of non-waxy and waxy ${\beta}-glucan$ at $C[{\eta}] were similar, but the slope of waxy ${\beta}-glucan$ at $C[{\eta}]>C^*[{\eta}]$ was higher than that of non-waxy ${\beta}-glucan$. Dynamic viscoelasticity measurement showed that cross-over happened, and storage modulus was higher than loss modulus at frequency range above cross-over. ${\beta}-Glucan$ solutions formed weak gels after stored for 24 hr.

This study was performed to investigate the changes of total and soluble ${\beta}$-glucan contents, purity and physicochemical characteristics of alkali hydrolyzed barley varieties: Saessalbori (SSB), Saechalssalbori (SCSB) and Hinchalssalbori (HCSB). The barleys were hydrolyzed at different concentrations of sodium hydroxide (0.2~1.0 N) for 12 hours. Total ${\beta}$-glucan contents of raw SSB, SCSB and HCSB were 8.40, 7.77 and 8.28%, and soluble ${\beta}$-glucan contents were 4.80, 4.16 and 4.61%, respectively. The total ${\beta}$-glucan contents after alkali hydrolyzed at 1.0 N NaOH were 7.54, 6.89 and 7.54%, also soluble ${\beta}$-glucan contents were 4.82, 4.30 and 4.55%, respectively. The degree of purity of soluble ${\beta}$-glucan in SSB, SCSB, and HCSB were 35.79, 30.91 and 33.90%, respectively. They were increased to 74.02, 75.28 and 81.41% after hydrolyzed at 1.0 N NaOH, respectively. The molecular weight and viscosity of soluble ${\beta}$-glucan solutions were decreased as sodium hydroxide concentration was increased. The re-solubility of raw barley ${\beta}$-glucan was about 50%; however, it was increased to approximately 87% as sodium hydroxide concentration was increased.

The starches were isolated from normal (Mudeung) and waxy (Chalssal) hull-less barleys which contained similar contents of ${\beta}-glucan$ and amylose. Their water binding capacity, swelling power and solubility were analyzed. Scanning electron microscopy showed most starch granules had predominant lense shape granules. The particle size of starch granules was in the range of $0.1{\sim}30\;{\mu}m$. The higher pasting temperature was found for $Mudeung(84^{\circ}C)$ than for $Chalssal(61.5^{\circ}C)$. However, Mudeung barley had a lower peak viscosity(535 BU) than that of Chalssal(1,510 BU). Differential scanning calorymetry analysis showed that To and Tp for two starches were 57.0, $60.6^{\circ}C$ for Mudeung, and were 57.0 and $62.2^{\circ}C$ for Chalssal, respectively. Enthalpy changes were 7.9 and 13.2 J/g for Mudeung and Chalssal, respectively.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of substituting whole barley flours on quality characteristics of noodles. Noodles were made with composite flour containing 20% whole barley flour of various hullless barley cultivars and the quality characteristics, ${\beta}$-glucan content and antioxidant characteristics were investigated. In amylogram characteristics, the initial pasting temperature and peak viscosity were increased, and setback was decreased in complex flour. Noodles containing barley flour had low lightness, yellowness and high redness compare to wheat noodle. Water absorption of cooked noodles was lower than wheat noodle. The value of swelling index was high in noodles containing non-waxy barley flour and low in noodles containing waxy barley flour. Hardness and gumminess of noodles were lower than wheat noodle. Noodles containing non-waxy barley had higher hardness, cohesiveness and gumminess than noodles containing waxy barley flour. Dahan, non-waxy barley cultivar showed similar characteristics with the wheat noodle. ${\beta}$-Glucan content and antioxidant activity were increased with adding barley flour. Cooked noodle had slightly high ${\beta}$-glucan content, low starch content and low antioxidant activity compared to value of uncooked noodle.
