The rheological properties of the aqueous solution of scleroglucan industrially produced by Sclerotium rolfsii at concentrations ranging from 0.1 % to 2 % (w/w) were determined by using brookfield viscometer and rheometer. Gel matrices of scleroglucans were stable over a wide range of pH and ionic strength in the aqueous medium. In the oil dispersion with phytosqualane in oil phase and three kinds of thickening agent in aqueous phase, scleroglucan showed the highest dispersion properties. The synergistic effect between scleroglucan and locust bean gum was also examined. The highest viscosity was obtained for the solution mixture at scleroglucan/locust bean gum weight ratio of 5 : 5. The results of this study suggest the potential of scleroglucan as thickner for a wide variety of cosmetic formulations.

The utilization of metakaoline as a mineral admixture for cement has received considerable attention in recent years. This paper investigates the rheological properties of cement pastes containing metakaoline in view of fluidity. The rheology of the paste is assessed by using a BROOKFIELD RVDV II + viscometer (SC4-21, 29) having cylindrical spindle. The results show the fluidity of cement pastes with metakaoline is increased by increasing W/S ratio and the dosage of superplastcizer. And also cement pastes with metakaoline as a partial replacement of cement show a dilatant behavior. Dilatancy is heavily influenced by W/S ratio and by the amount of metakaoline. However the thixotropy of the pastes is increased by silica fume.

This study was carried out to establish a method for the detection of irradiated glutinous rice by measuring pulsed photostimulated luminescence (PPSL) and viscometric properties. Viscosity was determined using a Brookfield DV-III rotation viscometer at 3$0^{\circ}C$ and measured at 30, 60, 90, 120, 150, 180, and 210 rpm. All irradiated samples indicated a decrease in viscosity with increasing stirring speeds (rpm) and irradiation doses. Treatments with 2∼5 kGy significantly decreased the viscosity. The photon counts of the irradiated glutinous rice were measured by PPSL and the photon counts of the non-irradiated and irradiated glutinous rice measured immediately after irradiation exhibited an increase with increasing irradiation dose. The photon counts of irradiated glutinous rice almost disappeared with the lapse of time when stored under normal room conditions, but was still possible to detect after 12 months of darkroom storage. Consequently, these results indicate that the detection of irradiated glutinous rice is possible by both viscometric and PPSL methods.

Rheological properties of rehydrated suspensions of two kinds of freeze dried Kochujang powders, processed at different freezing rates, were compared with raw Kochujang using Brookfield wide-gap rotational viscometer at $25^{\circ}C-60^{\circ}C$. Shear rates ranged from $0.1965\;sec^{-1}$ to $1.9650\;sec^{-1}$ and solid content ranged from 47% to 56%. Rehydrated suspensions of quickly frozen Kochujang powder and slowly frozen Kochujang powder, and raw Kochujang exhibited pseudoplastic behaviors with yield stress and presented thixotropic properties which followed the second-order kinetic behavior proposed by Tiu. Suspensions of Kochujang powders exhibited considerably higher decaying rates than raw Kochujang. The dependency of the equilibrium structure parameter on the shear rate was weak, and there were no significant differences among the values of structure parameters of three samples. The temperature dependency of the apparent viscosity of Kochujang suspension was fully expressed by Arrhenius equation and activation energies of suspensions of quickly frozen Kochujang powder and slowly frozen Kochujang powder, and raw Kochujang were 2.21, 2.18, and 2.32 Kcal/g.mole respectively. Consistency indices of three samples increased with solid content and decreased with temperature. Flow behavior indices of three samples showed no considerable dependency on the temperature and solid content. There were no significant differences in the rheological properties between two Kochujang powders.

The model foods were prepared by simulating mositure, protein and starch, and they were heated for 30 mins, at $80^{\circ}C$ and then cooled at $25^{\circ}C$ in water bath. Their rheological properties were investigated by the use of Brookfield wide-gap rotational viscometer at $30{\sim}60^{\circ}C$, and the rotation speed ranged from 0.6 to 6 rpm and solid content ranged from 8% to 11%, the results obtained were as follows. 1. All the model foods ($P_1S_3$, $P_2S_2$, $P_1S_1$, $P_2S_1$, $P_3S_1$, $P_4S_0$) exhibited pseudoplastic behaviors with yeild stress and were thixotropic foods which showed time - dependent structural decays, but the starch food of 8 ~ 11 % solid content did not show the flow behavior. 2. The correlation between the rheological parameters and the protein content of model foods in various moisture content did not appeared a constant relationship. 3. The change of shear stress against shear rate in high starch foods was larger than that in high protein foods and the structure at initial shear time was decayed with a quatic equation according to the Tiu's Model and structural decay was in parallel with the increase of shear rate. 4. The temperature dependency of the apparent viscosity of $P_1S_2$, and $P_2S_1$ was fully expressed by Arrhenius equation and activation energies of their food were 2.35 and $1.34Kcal/g{\cdot}mol$, respectively.

Rheological properties of gelatinized rice starch solutions were investigated with Brookfield rotational viscometer. The 8% starch solution showed thixotropic behavior with yield stress. The alkali gelatinized starch was more thixotropic than the thermal gelatinized one. The time dependent characteristics of starch solutions followed Tiu's model. The value of rate constant $(a_1)$ in Tiu's model increased linearly with shear rate, and was exponentially dependent on concentration and temperature. Temperature dependency of rate constant and apparent viscosity followed Arrhenius type equation and the activation energy were about 14.3 and 6.8 Kcal/g mole, respectively. The $a_1-value$ was found to be useful to evaluate changes in structaral decay on the shearing time of gelatinized rice starch solutions.

Aluminum magnesium silicate was synthesized by reacting the mixed solutions of sodium aluminate and magnesium chloride with sodium silicate solution in this study. The optimal synthesis conditions based on the yield of the product has been attained according to Box-Wilson experimental design. It was found that the optimal synthetic conditions of aluminum magnesium silicate were as follows: Reaction temperature=$69~81^{\circ}C$; concentration of two reactants, sodium aluminate and magnesium chloride= 13.95~14.44 w/w%; molar concentration ratio of the two reactants, [NaAlO$_{2}$]/MgCl$_{2}$]=3.63~4.00; reaction time= 12~15 min; drying temp. of the product=$70~76^{\circ}C$. Aluminum magnesium silicate synthesized under the optimal synthesis condition was dispersed in 0.75, 1.0 and 1.5w/w% aqueous solution or suspension of six dispersing agents, and the Theological properties of the dispersed systems prepared have been investigated at $15^{\circ}C$ and $25^{\circ}C$ using Brookfield LVT Type Viscometer. The acid-consuming capacity of the most excellent product was 272~278 ml of 0.1N-HCl per gram of the antacid. The flow types of 5.0 w/w% aluminum magnesium silicate suspension were dependent upon the kind and concentration of dispersing agents added. The apparent viscosity of the suspension was generally increased with concentration of dispersing agents and was not significantly changed or decreased as the temperature was raised. A dispersing agent, hydroxypropyl cellulose suspension, exhibited an unique flow behavior of antithixotropy. The flow behavior of the suspension dispersed in a given dispersing agent not always coincided with that of the dispersing agent solution or suspension itself.

Rheological properties of gelatinized rice starch solutions (5%) were examined with a Brookifield viscometer. Gelatinized rice starch solutions showed pseudoplastic flow having yield stress, i.e., Binghamplastic flow behavior. The yield stress of gelatinized rice starch solutions was reduced by the phosphate. Phosphate increased the pseudoplasticity of gelatinized nonwaxy rice starch solutions. but decreased that of gelatinized waxy rice starch solution. The yield stress of gelatinized nonwaxy rice starch solutions held for one hour at $90^{\circ}C$ was slightly decreased, but that of waxy starch solution was reduced by 10-fold. Phosphate reduced the yield stress for both gelatinized nonwaxy and waxy rice starch solutions. Phosphate decreased the consistency index, but did not affect the flow behavior index of the gelatinized rice starch solutions.

Purpose: To develop fat-free dressing containing a resistant starch (RS) as a dietary fiber, the viscosity and stability of various type RSes prepared from wheat, maize, potato, rice, waxy rice, and amaranth starches were investigated by using Brookfield viscometer. The shape of RS granule in the dressing during storage was also observed. Methods: The viscosity of fat free dressing with different retrograded RS3 (RS3V) prepared from waxy rice starch with 0.1% lemon vinegar and ascorbate mixed solution had higher RS3 that was maintained constant during storage. Annealing and heating prior to cross-linking, and heating after cross-linking increased RS level of RS4 type starches. Results: The viscosities and stabilities of dressings with RS were different depending on starch sources and RS preparation conditions. The heated RS4 (HRS4) increased in viscosity and stability with RS4 addition. Especially the fat-free dressings with HRS4 prepared from rice and waxy rice starches maintained stability regardless of separation after one month storage with only 7% separation after 6 month storages. The shape of RS4 granule in acidic medium of dressing did not change until 6 months. Conclusion: In this study, RS4 made by the rice and waxy rice starches showed high viscosity and maintained stability of the fat-free dressings during storage.

This study was examined closely physiological activation and intended to present the possibility of developing food low-fat food. Developing carbohydrate fat replacer as materials for low-fat food made of Korean potato starch, it is expected that the new demand of fat replacer will be created. Potato starch was modified by chemical modification. The calorie of starch of GPS was measured to be 3.0 kcal/g, those of chemically modified starch, HPR showed 2.5 kcal/g respectively, suggesting that calorie is decreased by modified treatment. The appropriateness of processing food was experimented by substituting the existing oil and fat containing food with gel of starch and modified starch in constant rate through utilization of modified starch. When producing mayonnaise by substituting edible oil with gel of modified starch in 10-50%, calorie was reduced by 44${\sim}$45% when substituted by 50%, suggesting the potential of low-fat food. Measuring viscosity of mayonnaise by Brookfield viscometer, the mayonnaise with HPR showed high viscosity and the chemical modified starch group of EZ also showed high viscosity. Generally, the material property of mayonnaise tended to reduce in all measured items when oil and fat are substituted by starch substituting materials and the substituting materials increase. When it comes to the emulsification stability of mayonnaise with starch substituting materials, emulsification stability of all mayonnaise with starch substituting materials is lower than that of compared group. While the group with NL as commercial fat replacer showed emulsification stability which was slightly higher than group with modified starch and the substitution group of HPR showed higher emulsification stability. Sensory evaluation for low-fat mayonnaise by substituting oil the products substituted by modified starch was more preferred than general starch substituting products such as GPS. While NL as commercially fat replacer showed the hight preference, products with H40, EZ were also highly preferred.
