The relationship of in vitro starch digestibility and gel strength was investigated at various concentrations (10-30%) of rice cultivars with different amylose contents (27.9, 17.9, and 5.2%). As the rice flour concentration increased, predicted glycemic index decreased, but gel strength increased regardless of amylose contents. Gel strength correlated strongly with amylose content, whereas in vitro starch digestibility was more highly affected by rice flour concentration than by amylose contents. Moreover, the impact of degree of gelatinization on in vitro starch digestibility of high amylose rice was also examined in terms of structural features and rheological properties. The digestion rate of fully gelatinized flour was 1.7 times higher than that of native flour, while the disrupted structure with a different gelatinization degree during starch digestion was visually demonstrated through the X-ray diffraction and molecular distribution analysis. The rice flour changed from an A-type to a V-type pattern and showed difference in crystalline melting. The low molecular weight distribution increased with increasing degree of gelatinization during starch digestion. The apparent viscosity also increased with degree of gelatinization. These results demonstrated that the starch digestibility of rice was more affected by concentration than by amylose content, as well as by the degree of gelatinization due to structural difference.

Gelatinization properties of potato starches from Irish Cobbler (the dry type), Shepody and Superior (the intermediate type) and Dejima (the moist type) were investigated. The minimum moisture contents for gelatinization of starches was 45%. When the moisture contents percentage was $45{\sim}60%$, the degree of gelatinization of potato starches was higher in Dejima than in Irish Cobbler, on the other when it was 70%, all of kind were almost similar. The gelatinization temperature of starches was $65^{\circ}C$, When the temperature was $65^{\circ}C$, degree of gelatinization was highest in Dejima and lowest in Irish Cobbler, on the other hand when it was $75^{\circ}C$. highest in Irish Cobbler and lowest in Shepody.

This study was induced to compare retrogradation and gelatinization in sulgie with added powder and flower of gamkug, which had been stored in 4$^{\circ}C$, 1$0^{\circ}C$ and 3$0^{\circ}C$, respectively. The addition of 5% powdered gamkug showed the highest degree of gelatinization while the control did the lowest. The degree of hardness of gamkugsulgie was lower than control and the following order 4$^{\circ}C$>1$0^{\circ}C$>3$0^{\circ}C$. Gamkugsulgie showed a little lower degree of retrogradation than control group. The degree of retrogradation at 4$^{\circ}C$ was far greater comparing with the other group. The degree of retrogradation were delayed as the storing temperature rose tran 4$^{\circ}C$ to 3$0^{\circ}C$, temperature namely, gamkugsulgie retrogradation time constant of the test group was slower 1.18 times at 4$^{\circ}C$. 1.24 times at 1$0^{\circ}C$ and 2.58 times at 3$0^{\circ}C$ than that of the control group.

In this study, we examined the characteristics of alkali gelatinization of corn starch. Here, the degree of corn starch gelatinization increased exponentially with the NaOH concentration of the starch slurry. The alkali gelatinization initiation point (AGIP) was obtained from the intersection point of gelatinization slope line, which resulted from the regression of the logarithmic degree of gelatinization, and was markedly changed. The effects of temperature and corn starch concentration on alkali gelatinization were studied with a 10%(w/w) corn starch suspension. We found that this corn starch suspension gelatinized in 24.1 meq/g starch of NaOH at $40^{\circ}C$, and in 9.8 meq NaOH/g starch at $60^{\circ}C$. Moreover, a 40%(w/w) corn starch suspension gelatinized with 9.5 meq NaOH/g starch, even at $40^{\circ}C$. These results indicate that the amount of alkali added for the gelatinization of corn starch has an inverse relationship with the temperature and concentration of corn starch.

Mechanism of the cyclodextrin (CD) production reaction by cyclodextrin glucanotransferase (CGTase) using swollen extrusion starch as substrate was investigated emphasizing the structural features of starch granule. The degree of gelatinization was identified to be the most representative structural characteristic of swollen starch. The most suitable degree of gelatinization of swollen starch for CD production was around 63.52%. The structural transformation of starch granule during enzyme reaction was also followed by measuring the changes of the degree of gelatinization, microcrystallinity, and accessible and inaccessible portion to CGTase action of residual swollen starch. The adsorption phenomenon of CGTase to swollen starch was also examined under various conditions. The inhibition mechanism of CGTase by various CDs was identified to be competitive, most severely by a-CD. The mechanism elucidated will be used for development of a kinetic model describes CD production reaction in heterogeneous enzyme reaction system utilizing swollen extrusion starch.

Gelatinization degrees of torn and waxy corn starches in the low-moisture environment were determined by DSC thermogram and enzymatic analysis, the results were compared each other As the moisture content increased from 20% to 70%, the enthalpy of endothermic peak of starch increased linearly in DSC thermograms. When the moisture content exceeded above 70%, the DSC enthalpy of starch remained constant in DSC thermogram. The enthalpies for gelatinization of corn and waxy corn starches were 3.23 cal/g and 4.2 cal/g, respectively. When gelatinization degrees of starches were measured by enzymatic analysis, the gelatinization degree increased linearly as the moisture content increased from 20% to 80%. A linear correlation between DSC and enzymatic analysis was obtained only when the moisture content was under 70%.

The Physicochemical, sensory and cooking properties of functionally fortified rice with dietary fiber and chitosan were compared with regular rice when the rices were cooked with pressure and electric cookers. Moisture content of functional rice before cooking was 11.11%, which was lower than 13.72% in regular rice. Accordingly, moisture contents of functional rice samples cooked both with pressure and electric cookers were lower than those of regular rice. L value showing the degree of lightness of cooked rice was significantly higher in rice samples cooked with pressure cookers. The ${\alpha}$ value, the degree of redness and the b value, the degree of yellowness, were the highest in the functional rice cooked with an electric rice cookers. Textural measurement of hardness using a rheometer showed the highest value in functional rice cooked with a pressure cooker. The degree of gelatinization measured using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) before cooking showed higher onset gelatinization temperature ($T_0$) and peak gelatinization temperature ($T_p$) in functional rice compared with those in regular rice. The gelatinization enthalpy (${\Delta}H$) of functional rice was lower than that of regular rice, showing that functional foe had lower gelatinization energy compared with regular rice. When the samples were stored in a refrigerator for one week, the DSC showed faster retrogradation degrees in samples cooked with electric rice cooker, having significantly higher enthalpies of regular and functional rice cooked with electric cooked compared to those cooked with pressure cookers. The functional rice samples cooked with pressure cooker had higher consumer acceptance test values compared to those cooked with electric cookers.

Factors affecting gelatinization temperature of rice starches from different varieties were investigated. Birefringence end-point temperature(BEPT), amylose content, granule size distribution and degree of crystallinity of rice starches showed the significant varietal differences at ${\alpha}\;=0.01$. Susceptibility of the granule to gelatininzation was dependent mainly on the degree of crystallinity, as indicated by the significant positive correlation between BEPT and the relative crystallinity(r=0.67, p<0.01). However, granule size distribution did not affect the GT(gelatinization temperature) range, nor did amylose electron microscopy (SEM). SEM also confirmed that there is no relationship between the size and the shape and the amylose content of the rice starch.
