Octenylscuccinated corn starches prepared by reaction of corn starch with 1-octenylsuccinic anhydride(OSAn) and their degree of substitution (DS), reaction efficiency(RE), residual octenylsuccinic acid (OSA), and physicochemical properties were compared with those of the native corn starch. DS increased with increase of OSAn and RE was much nearly the same regardless of increased of OSAn. The content of residual of residual OSA was significantly lower than that of regulation of food additives. And as washing frequency of dispersion of the reactant was increased, the content of residual OSA of octenylsuccinated starch was decreased. Raid Visco-Analyzer initial pasting temperature and setback of octenylsuccinated starches decreased whereas peak viscosity and breakdown increased. When DS of octenylsuccinated starches increased, temperature of initial gelatinization of octenylscuccinated starches drastically decreased. The octenylsuccinated starches also formed clearer pastes. The solubility was much nearly the same regardless of increase of DS at 7$0^{\circ}C$ but the swelling power increased 1.2~1.7 times higher than that of native corn starch at 7$0^{\circ}C$. The water binding capacity of octenylsuccinated starches also decreased.

Crosslinked corn starches were prepared to increase their molecular weights and their performance as a component of Compozil system was evaluated and compared with that of potato starches. It was shown that greater improvements in retention and strength properties could be achieved when crosslinded cationic corn starches rather than conventional cationic potato starches were used especially at high conductivity because of their molecular rigidity.

Physicohemical properties of corn starches isolated from non-glutinous and corn grains fol-lowing γ-irradiation up to 10kGy were investigated. Blue value, water binding capacity and swelling power decreased, while alkali number ad solubility increased by γ-irradiation , which was more pronounced in glu-tinous corn starch than in non-glutinous corn starch. The optical transmittance increased with an increment of heating temperature and applied irradiation doses. No significant difference was observed in Hunter's color value between both starches isolated from non- irradiated and irradiated and irradiated corn grains. Amylograph viscosities decreased remarkably as dose levels increased. The overall effects of γ-irradiation was more distinguished in glutinous starch than in non-glutinous starch.

A study was carried out to establish the detection method of irradiated corn, potato, and sweet potato starches. The samples were packed in polyethylene bags and irradiated with 1, 3, 5, 7, 10, and 15 kGy using a Co-60 irradiator. The maximum viscosity of irradiated and unirradiated corn, potato, and sweet potato starches reduced by increase of irradiation dose levels and showed significant differences which clearly showed the effect of irradia-tion dose levels (p<0.05). Regression expressions and coefficients (p<0.000) or corn, potato, and sweet potato starches were y=-38.538x+718.23(r2=0.9761), y=669.97e-0.1372x (r2=0.9820) and y=-42.544x+730.26(r2=0.9939), respectively. Nor-malized parameter A,B and C values showed a dose dependent relationship and were a better parameter for detecting the irradiated starches than that of the maximum viscosity itself.

Physicochemical properties of defatted and lipid-reintroduced kidney bean, mung bean, and corn starches were investigated. Granule shapes of kidney bean and mung bean starches were oval/round, but corn starch was polygonal and each shape was not changed after defatting and lipid reintroducing. The granule sizes of starches ranged $12{\sim}45{\mu}m,\;10{\sim}32{\mu}m\;and\;5{\sim}20{\mu}m$ respectively, but those of lipid reintroduced starches increased slightly. All starches showed Ca type in x-ray diffraction but relative crystallinity was decreased by defatting. The amylose contents of starches increased after defatting but decreased after lipid-reintroduction. The swelling power and solubility of untreated starches at each temperature increased by defatting but decreased by lipid-reintroduction except corn starches. The initial pasting temperatures of kidney bean, mung bean and corn starches by amylograph were $87,\;67\;and\;80^{\circ}C$ respectively, and those of them were lowered by defatting. The peak viscosity, height at $50^{\circ}C$, consistency and setback on amylogram of starches decreased by defatting but increased by lipid-reintroduction.

Influence of amylose content on formation and characteristics of enzyme-resistant starch (RS) was investigated by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffractometry and differential scanning calorimetry. RS yield increased up to 36.1 % as the amylose content of corn starch increased. Starch granules of Amyulomaize V and Ⅶ were more rounded and smaller than those of regular corn ; some were elongated and had appendages. After autoclaving -cooling cycles, the granular structure disappeared and a continous spongy-like porous network was visible in regular corn starch ; the granular structure was stillevident in parts in Amylomaize V and Ⅶ starches. In all isolated RS residues , the porous structures were no longer visible and more compact formations predominated. While regular corn starch showed an A-type X-ray profile, Amylomaize V and Ⅶ starches exhibited a combination of B- and V-types. Regular corn starch lost most of its crystallinity during autoclaving , but the crystallinity was still left in Amylomaize starches as diffuse or poor B-types. All RS residues showed the presence of poor B-type regardless of amylose contents. Transition temperatures and enthalypy of native starches were a little higher in Amylomaize V and Ⅶ starches than those of regular corn starch . Regardless of amylose contents, all RS residues exhibited an endothermic transition over a similar temperature range (135 $^{\circ}C$~169$^{\circ}C$), with a mean peak temperature of ~154$^{\circ}C$, which is generally foud for retrograded amylose crystallities. Higher transition temperature, enthalypy, and RS yield of AMylomaize V and Ⅶ starches were related granular stability shown by the microscopic and crystallographic studies.

The hydrolyzability of chemically modified starches and ramen staches was determined by hog pancreatic ${\alpha}-amylase$ in vitro test. The extents of hydrolysis were 64.5% and 59.3% in native and acetylated potato starch, 70.5% and 60.4% in native and hydroxypropylated corn starch, and 65.2% and 57.3% in native and hydroxypropylated high amylose corn starch, respectively. The hydrolysis extents of waxy corn starch derivatives were shown in the descending order of pregelatinized (74.3%)>native (72.1%)>acetylated (66.5%)>acetyl distarch adiphate (56.4%)>hydroxypropyl distarch phosphate (50.7%). In the test on starches of container and regular ramen cooked by practical way, no significant difference was observed between ramen products of five different makers. Although the hydrolysis rate and extent of chemically modified starches were lower than those of native starches, the digestibility of ramen seemed to be not affected in the common diet as the use level of modified starch was relatively low.

Effect of cationic starches and anionic colloidal silica on retention and drainage characteristics of Compozil system was investigated. Depending upon the degree of substitution and molecular weight of cationic starches and morphological characteristics of anionic colloidal silica, retention and drainage properties of Compozil system were significantly influenced. When cationic starch addition level increased above a certain limit retention and stock freeness were decreased. To elucidate this an electrostatic coagulation mechanism occurring between unadsorbed starch molecules and anionic colloidal silica was proposed. Unstructured colloidal silica showed greater improvement in retention than structured colloidal silica. Cationic corn starches with different degree of substitution and molecular weights were prepared and their effect as a constituent of Compozil system was also evaluated. By controlling the molecular weight and degree of substitution of cationic corn starch it was possible to achieve significant improvement in fines retention. Cationic corn starch with higher degree of substitution maintained its retention efficiency even when the stock conductivity was increased. Turbidity measurement technique was found to be a simple and useful method to measure the retention characteristics.

Corn starch was modified by oxidation with sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) as an attempt to expand the application of starches in food industry. Corn starch was oxidized with 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1.0 and 1.5% active Cl/g starch at pH 7.0 and $25^{\circ}C$ for 10 minutes. The size, shape and amylose content of oxidized starches were similar to those of native corn starch. As the extent of oxidation increased, solubility, swelling power and the amount of soluble amylose increased, X-ray diffraction patterns changed, and relative crystallinity decreased. In Brabender amylogram, oxidation did not chance the gelatinization temperature, but oxidized starches had a lower peak in viscosity and their cooled pastes gave less setback, compared with native corn starch.

In an attempt to evaluate the effect of six starch sources-potato starch acetate, corn starch acetate, waxy corn starch, corn starch, potato starch, and wheat starch on properties of frozen noodle, amylograph characteristics of starch-wheat flour composites, cooking quality, maximum cutting force and sensory properties of cooked frozen noodles were examined. Compared with 100% wheat flour as control, potato starch acetate and potato starch-wheat flour composites had slightly lower initial pasting temperature and wheat flour composites with acetylated starches, waxy corn starch and potato starch had slightly higher maximum peak viscosity. At cooking quality examination of noodles made from wheat flour-starch composites, volume and weight of cooked noodles were increased and cook loss was decreased with the addition of acetylated starches and waxy corn starch. Maximum cutting forces of cooked frozen noodles containing more than 15% of potato starch acetate and only 15% of corn starch acetate were higher than that of control. Other starches except potato starch improved sensory properties of cooked frozen noodles and the greatest positive effect was acetated potato starch.
