Intrinsic viscosity of starch irradiated with Co-60 (0.25-9.1 kGy) significantly decreased, and swelling power and solubility measured at $80^{\circ}C$ linearly increased with increasing irradiated dose. Radiation treatment up to 1 kGy increased amylose content of starch. Water-binding capacity increased rapidly up to 3 kGy. Peak viscosity of irradiated starches by Rapid visco Analyser and Visco/amylo/Graph indicated that the decrease in peak viscosity was dose-dependent. Gamma irradiation showed no effect on endothermic temperatures of irradiated starches, but decreased endothermic enthalpy with increasing dose level. Viscosity of starch autoclaved at $120^{\circ}C$ and air-dried significantly decreased with increasing irradiation dose. Resistant starch content slightly decreased upon irradiation.

For the use of starch gel like Mook(a Korean traditional gel food), the physicochemical properties and gelatinization patterns of defatted high amylose corn starch were investigated. The crude and total lipid contents of starch decreased by defatting from 0.07%, 0.92% to 0.03%, 0.19%, respectively. But iodine affinity increased from 51.6% to 71.3%. Water binding capacity of starches increased from 104.6% to 117.3% after defatting. Soluble carbohydrate and leached amylose of untreated and defatted starches were increased rapidly above $110^{\circ}C$. The apparent viscosity of starch dispersion using alkali solution increased above 0.3N NaOH solution but the transmittance increased above 0.4 N NaOH. The DSC thermograms of both starches showed broad and double endotherm with relatively low enthalpy, but the second peak of endotherm was larger in defatted starch than in untreated starch.

This study was carried out to determine the effects of various starches (mungbean starch, cowpea starch and corn starch) on the quality characteristics of Omija jelly made of Omija extract. The viscosity of starch suspended in Omija extract and distilled water was measured by using a RVA(Rapid Visco Analyzer), and, color value, syneresis, texture(rupture test and TPA test) and sensory properties of Omija jelly and pure starch jelly were measured. Gelatinization temperature of each starch suspended in Omija extract was higher than that suspended in distilled water, whereas final viscosity of Omija jelly was decreased. Omija extract appeared to retard the gelatinization of starch and recrystallization of gelatinized starch. The viscosity of com starch was lowest among the three types of starch, suggesting thai higher concentration is needed in the use of com starch. The lightness(L) of corn starch gel was the highest among the gels. The syneresis of Omija jelly was lower than that of starch jelly, therefore, Omija extract seemed to be helpful on the stability of starch gel. Rupture properties of Omija jelly was lower than that of starch jelly, whereas the adhesiveness of omija jelly was greater. Omija jelly made of corn starch was less cohesive and more sticky than other gels, and its acceptability was very low. Sensory characteristics of the gel were relatively well correlated with the mechanical characteristics. Overall acceptability of Omija jelly was high in the concentration of 7, 8% of mungbean starch and 8, 9% of cowpea starch. Thus, the optimum concentration of starch for making Omija jelly using mungbean starch was 7, 8% and that using corn starch was 8, 9%.

Attempt was made to establish identification methods for irradiated starch. Commercial starches (corn starch/CS, sweet potato starch/SS, and potato starch/PS) were irradiated at 0-6.0 kGy and used to measure viscosity with Brookfield DV-III programmable rheometer. Starch suspensions were prepared at 8.0 (7.2%, d.b.), 8.5 (7.3%, d.b.), and 9.0% (7.3%, d.b.) for CS, SS, and PS, respectively at 100 rpm in spindle speed. Results showed viscosities of samples significantly decreased (p<0.05) as irradiation dose increased, with $R^2$ 0.9754, 0.9618, and 0.9888 for CS, SS, and PS, respectively. Irradiation dose at 1.5 kGy induced decrease in viscosity as compared to non-irradiated control by 34, 57, and 51% in CS, SS, and PS, respectively, suggesting viscometry could lie applied to identify irradiated starches. Solubility and alkali number of irradiated starches significantly increased with irradiation doses, while swelling power decreased (p<0.05). Results suggested solubility, alkali number, and swelling power for irradiated starches complement identification results of viscometry.

The study was performed to investigate the degrees of gelatinization at various processing steps during the preparation of Dangmyuns using sweet potato, potato, corn and tapioca starches, and also determined the rehydration of the freeze dried sweet potato Dangmyun. The degrees of gelatinization after extrusion cooking showed higher value than other processing steps. The degrees of gelatinization after extrusion cooking were 63.5% in sweet potato, 80.0% in potato, 82.3% in corn, and 86.5% in tapioca Dangmyuns. The degree of gelatinization in Dangmyuns after extrusion cooking step decreased as the processing steps, such as cold storage, freezing, thawing, and sun drying, progressed. L values of color in Dangmyuns decreased in the order of corn>tapioca>potato>sweet potato Dangmyuns. The cooking loss decreased in the order of tapioca>corn>potato>sweet potato Dangmyuns. The percentage of weight gain was the highest in sweet potato Dangmyun followed by corn, potato, and tapioca Dangmyuns. The water absorption rate constant was the highest in sweet potato Dangmyun followed by corn, potato, and tapioca Dangmyuns. In the rehydration of freeze dried Dangmyuns, freeze dried sweet potato Dangmyun showed better than the others. An increase from 60% to 70% of the added amount of water in the mixing step resulted in an increase of the degrees of gelatinization after extrusion cooking from $63.4{\sim}70.7%$ to $73.8{\sim}75.0%$. An increase of the added water in the mixing step and a decrease of diameter in the extrusion cooking step slightly improved the rehydration in the boiled water of freeze dried sweet potato Dangmyun.

Structural modification of corn starch by gamma irradiation was evaluated for under dry conditions at varied intensities from 0 to 40 kGy. Under scanning electron microscopy, the granule shape of corn starch was not significantly affected by the irradiation up to 40 kGy. In addition, X-ray diffraction and melting patterns of the irradiated starches were similar to those of the native starch, indicating that crystalline regions in the starch granules were not changed by irradiation. However, the pattern of gel permeation column chromatography showed a significant increase in partial hydrolysis of gamma irradiated starch samples. The degree of polymerization and the paste viscosity of irradiated starch samples dose-dependently decreased significantly with irradiation, and increased solubility and clarity were observed in the irradiated starch solution. In addition, the degree of retrogradation decreased as irradiation dose increased. Irradiation of corn starch has advantages over the ordinary acid or the enzyme hydrolysis modification methods. It does not affect the granular shape and crystalline phase of starch during hydrolysis, and the process can be carried out in dry state.

These experiments were conducted to investigate the substrate specificity, the hydrolysis products on the various carbohydrates and the hydrolysis rate on the various raw starches of the two purified glucoamylase produced by Rhizopus oryzae. Both of the glucoamylases hydrolyzed amylose, amylopectin, glycogen, soluble starch, pullulan, maltose, maltotriose, maltotetraose, maltopentaose, maltohexaose, maltoheptaose and maltooctaose, but did not act on ${\alpha}-cyclodextrin$, ${\beta}-cyclodextrin$, raffinose, sucrose and lactose. When the reaction mixture of glucoamylase and polysaccharides were incubated $37^{\circ}C$for 32 hours, glucoamylase I hydrolyzed amylopectin, soluble starch and amyloses completely, but hydrolyzing glycogen up to only about 88%. Glucoamylase II hydrolyzed the previous four polysaccharides up to about 100%. Both of the glucoamylases produced only glucose for various substrates and did not have any ${\alpha}-glucosyl$ transferase activity. Both of the glucoamylases hydrolyzed raw glutinous rice starch almost complety, wheras they acted on raw potato starch, raw green banana starch, raw arrow root starch, raw corn starch, raw yam starch and raw high amylose corn starch weakly. Glucoamylase II hydrolyzed raw starches at the higher rate than glucoamylase I.

Ohmic heating is a heating method based on the principle when an electrical current passes through food. Since this method is internal, electrical current damage occurred during heating treatment. The results of ohmic heated starch's external structure, X-ray diffraction, DSC analysis and RVA were differed from those of conventional heating at the same temperature. Several starches changed more rigid by structure re-aggregation. This change in starch was caused by change of physical, chemical, rheological property. The rheology of ohmic heated potato and corn starch of different heated methods were compared with chemically modified starch. After gelatinization, sample starch suspension (2%, 3%) measured flow curves by rheometer. Cross-linked chemically modified starch's shear stress was decreased with degree of substitution reversibly. Ohmic heated more dramatic, at $60^{\circ}C$. Potato starch's shear stress was less than commercial high cross-linked modified starch. Flow curves of potato starches measured at $4^{\circ}C$, $10^{\circ}C$, $20^{\circ}C$. Showed that Ohmic heated potato starch's shear stress ranging between $4^{\circ}C$ and $20^{\circ}C$ was narrower than modified starch. According to this study, ohmic heated potato starch can be used by decreasing viscosity agent like cross-linked modified starch.

The Physical properties of corn starch were investigated by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffractometry and differential scanning calorimetry during the formation of enzyme-resistant starch(RS). Samples were studied in their native states and after annealing at 50, 55, 60 and 65℃ in excess water(starch : water=1:3) for 48hr. Starch granules became smaller and more rounded after annealing than in their native state. Annealing did not change the X-ray profile of native corn starch. After autoclaving-cooling cycles, native starch lost most of its crystallinity but annealed ones showed some of their crystallinity left as diffuse or poor B-type, which didn't relate to increasing Rs yields. During formation of RS, however, both native and annealed starches changed their X-ray profile from A-type to poor B-type of retrograded amylose. Annealing caused an increase in gelatinization temperature and enthalpy, but a narrowing of gelatinization temperature range. Only starch annealed at 65℃, however, showed a decrease in enthalpy even though its gelatinization temperature increased, which appeared to be due to the partial gelatinization in the amorphous region during annealing. Peak height index(PHI), the ratio of ΔH to Ti-To, increased by annealing. PHI values, therefore, showed the possibility as an indicator to predict RS yield which cannot be differentiated by differential scanning calorimetry and X-ray diffraction data.

This study investigated the effects of starches(potato, sweet potato, and corn starch) on the quality characteristics of raw and cooked noodles. The moisture content, color, mixogram, texture profile and sensory evaluation were performed. The mixogram showed the addition of starches shortened the kneading time. Mixing tolerance was higher in the noodles with starch than the control group, which indicates that the addition of starch increases dough durability. Moisture content of raw noodles was the highest in the samples with potato starch. L-value of raw noodles was the highest in the samples added with corn starch, whereas that of cooked noodles was the highest in the samples added with potato starch. The hardness of raw noodles was the highest in the control sample, and the chewiness of raw noodles was the highest in the samples added with sweet potato starch. The hardness of cooked noodles was the highest in the samples added with corn starch and the lowest in the control group. The tension distance of raw noodles was the longest in the control group and the tension force of raw noodles was the highest in the noodle with sweet potato starch. The acceptance test indicated that the noodles prepared with the addition of sweet potato starch scored the highest in flavor, taste, texture and overall acceptability.
