The effects of cooking methods on the total dietary fiber(TDF) and enzyme-resistant starch(RS) contents of nonwaxy and waxy milled and brown rices were investigated. The TDF contents of raw rices were 3.77% for nonwaxy brown, 3.41% for waxy brown, 1.37% for nonwaxy milled and 1.14% for waxy milled rices. The TDF contents were higher in brown rices than milled ones and slightly higher in nonwaxy than waxy ones. However, there were no significant differences among raw and cooked rices with. automatic electric cooker and automatic pressure cooker. The TDF contents of cooked rices did not show any increase, but that of waxy milled ones rather slightly decreased by cooking. The RS contents analysed were not significantly different between automatic electric cooking and automatic pressure cooking. The RS contents of cooked rices were 0.05∼0.06% for nonwaxy milled, 0.09∼0.12% for nonwaxy brown, 0.07∼0.08% for waxy milled, 0.11∼0.13% for waxy brown, which showed higher RS content in brown than milled ones, and in waxy than nonwaxy ones. The ratios of RS/TDF were 4.1∼4.2% for nonwaxy milled, 2.8% for nonwaxy brown, 7.5∼8.9% for waxy milled, 3.6∼3.7% for waxy brown, which showed that the higher the TDF contents, the less the contribution of RS to the TDF.

The effect of raw wheat flour on starch retrogradation retardation was investigated in a rice starch paste model. Specifically, in terms of amylase activity present in the wheat flour, the retardation effect was investigated depending on reaction temperature (40, 60, and $80^{\circ}C$), incubation time (0, 20, 40, and 60 min), and wheat flour addition levels (0-10%). An increase in wheat flour concentration resulted in a rapid decrease in the elastic modulus (G') as the incubation time increased. The G' changes of the rice starch pastes were furthermore fitted by the first order reaction for the reaction rate estimation on the temperature basis. The experimental reaction rate of the paste sample incubated with 10% wheat flour at $40^{\circ}C$ exhibited good agreement with the predicted value. This result implied that the first order reaction kinetics could be suitable to predict the changes in the G' as a function of incubation temperature and wheat flour concentration.

The possibility of substituting potato or sweet potato for the wheat, one of the raw materials for soy sauce, was studied by measuring the amylase and proteolytic activities of Koji. Also optimum conditions of Koji making were determined. It was found that substitution of up to 30% (starch content) of wheat content (15% of the total bean and wheat content) with potato yielded good qulity of soy sauce. Use of more than 30% potato yielded a Koji of low enzymatic activity. This was attributed to the high moisture content of potato. It ws also found that substitution of up to 50% (starch content) of wheat content(25% of the total bean and wheat content) with sweet potato yieldede a good quality of soy sauce. But the taste was inferior to the control (the soy sauce which was made with 50% of bean and 50% of wheat).

The optimum conditions for ethanol fermentation and ethanol productivity of the fusant ESC-14-15 were examined in a mini-jar formentor scale (working volume : 2.5 liters) to assess the possibility of practical application. Addition of yeast extract to fermentation broth greatly enhanced the ethanol productivity and shortened the period of fermentation. The pH 4.2 was more favorable than pH 5.5 with respect to ethanol productivity and fermentation speed. The optimum concentration of liquefied potato starch for ethanol fermentation of FSC-14-15 was 15%(w/v) and the corresponding productivity was 8.7%(v/v) of ethanol with an efficiency of 80.6% to the theoretical maximum. When the fresh fermentation broth containing 20% of liquefied potato starch was inoculated with love(v/v) of inoculum, the fusant FSC-14-75 produced 11.0%(v/v) of ethanol in 4 days, which is considered comparable to that from an industrial process. From the liquefied cassava starch or the equal mixture of liquefied barley and sweet potato starch prepared according to the same method as in the industrial process except saccharification step, the fusnnt FSC-14-75 produced 8.5%(v/v) or 7.6%(v/v) of ethanol in 4 days, respectively.

Starch phosphates were prepared by dry heating, gelatinizing method and extrusion process using sodium tripolyphosphote (STPP) as a substitution reagent and their physicochemical properities were compared. In the preparation of starch phosphate by dry heating method(DSP), the effect of reaction temperature was the most significant to the DS(Degree of substitution). In the phosphorylation reaction with gelatinized starch(GSP), the substitution ratio was increased with increasing the reaction temperature, but the increase was insignificant above $85^{\circ}C$. By extrusion with the corn starch containing 2.0% STPP at various moisture contents of 20, 25 and 30%, the DS values of extrudate(WESP) were within the range of between 0.0066 and 0.0083. The starch phosphate(DSP) products showed lowering the gelatinization temperature, increasing the clarity of the starch paste. However, WESP showed higher gelatinization temperature than that of raw starch. The starch phosphate prepared by extrusion process showed lower apparent viscosity of paste than that of the DSP at same condition. All of starch phosphates showed reducing the tendency of the paste retrogradation.

As a result of resistant starch yield depending on heating temperature, moisture content, storage temperature and heating-cooling cycle with RSM (response surface methodology), high amylose corn starch (46%) was appeared higher than normal corn starch in the yield (22%). At the high amylose corn starch, optimum conditions for resistant starch formation were 6 times of heating-cooling cycle, 108$^{\circ}C$ heating temperature and 67% moisture content at the 2$0^{\circ}C$ storage temperature, which resulted in 25% yield with these experiment conditions. Affecting factor for the resistant starch formation was arranged according to heating -cooling cycle, moisture content, heating temperature and storage temperature. Raw corn starch granule was destructive and appeared a porous reticular structure by the resistant starch formation. Color became dark and increased yellowness by caramelization during heating processing. Heating-cooling processing was the result of decreased hardness, cohesiveness, springiness and gumminess.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the gelatinization properties of potato starch heated with microwave. Two types of potato starches were prepared; In group A raw potato starch was heated with microwave and in group B potato starch was isolated from potato heated with microwave. Both groups were exposed to the microwave energy in a 560W, 2,450 MHz oven for 60, 120, 180 and 300 seconds. Gelatinization behaviour by DSC made a few differences according to the ratio of starch to water. As the microwave heating time took longer, gelatinization temperature and gelatinization $enthalpy({\bigtriangleup}H_1)$ were decreased in and melting $enthalpy({\bigtriangleup}H_2)$ was increased in group A. Whereas they were increased in group B. In both groups, maximum viscosity in gelatinization by Brabender amylogram was decreased by microwave heating. Then the peak of the maximum viscosity was shifted to higher temperature and cold viscosity was slightly increased. In group A, viscosity in gelatinization and light transmittance by NaOH was increased in initial stage and gel volume in gelatinization by KSCN was decreased. On the other hand, in group B, viscosity by alkali was slightly decreased, but light transmittance by NaOH was almost never changed. Gel volume is decreased like group A.

Raw-starch-digesting enzyme (RSDA) was immobilized on Amberlite beads by conjugation of glutaraldehyde/polyglutaraldehyde (PG)-activated beads or by crosslinking. The effect of immobilization on enzyme stability and catalytic efficiency was evaluated. Immobilization conditions greatly influenced the immobilization efficiency. Optimum pH values shifted from pH 5 to 6 for spontaneous crosslinking and sequential crosslinking, to pH 6-8 for RSDA covalently attached on polyglutaraldehyde-activated Amberlite beads, and to pH 7 for RSDA on glutaraldehyde-activated Amberlite. RSDA on glutaraldehyde-activated Amberlite beads had no loss of activity after 2 h storage at pH 9; enzyme on PG-activated beads lost 9%, whereas soluble enzyme lost 65% of its initial activity. Soluble enzyme lost 50% initial activity after 3 h incubation at $60^{\circ}C$, whereas glutaraldehyde-activated derivative lost only 7.7% initial activity. RSDA derivatives retained over 90% activity after 10 batch reuse at $40^{\circ}C$. The apparent $K_m$ of the enzyme reduced from 0.35 mg/ml to 0.32 mg/ml for RSDA on glutaraldehyde-activated RSDA but increased to 0.42 mg/ml for the PG-activated RSDA derivative. Covalent immobilization on glutaraldehyde Amberlite beads was most stable and promises to address the instability and contamination issues that impede the industrial use of RSDAs. Moreover, the cheap, porous, and non-toxic nature of Amberlite, ease of immobilization, and high yield make it more interesting for the immobilization of this enzyme.

Extrusion with enzyme treatment improved processing characteristics and physiological activity of whole grains, strongly suggesting industrial potential of whole grains for production of cereal-based functional foods containing activated nutraceuticals. Physicochemical properties of whole grains prepared by extrusion were characterized in terms of vitamin, mineral, and resistant starch contents, gelatinization, and digestibility in comparison with those of raw and roasted grains. Extrusion increased grain gelatinization, with degree of gelatinization in extruded barley being seven times higher than that of raw barley. Extrusion improved digestibility of whole grains in comparison with those of raw and roasted grains. Dispersibility of starch was improved through extrusion, while content of resistant starch decreased. Release of ${\beta}-sitosterol$ present in whole grains increased 13-fold when both extrusion and enzyme treatment were used.

In this study, wild sesame leaf aromas (WSLA) were extracted and the extracted aromas were entrapped in porous potato starch micelles. The entrapped aromas did not evaporate, even by heated water treatments, and remained until a physical treatment such as chewing. Thus, the entrapped WSLA starch was used to make precooked instant noodles in order to mask or/and reduce an unpleasant raw flour flavor. The efficiencies of the flavor entrapment were analyzed using gas-chromatography equipped with solid phase micro-extraction (SPME), as well as by sensory evaluation. The highest yield of the porous potato starch was shown as 82.4% at an inlet temperature (IT) of $170^{\circ}C$, an exhaust temperature (ET) of $90^{\circ}C$, and a feeding rate (FR) of 40 mL/min. In the porous starch made by IT at $200^{\circ}C$, ET at $100^{\circ}C$, and FR at 50 mL/min, the entrapment efficiency was 68% by GC analysis; this starch also had the highest WSLA and consumer acceptability, but the lowest raw flour flavor, according to the sensory evaluation results.
