In this report, we discussed the physiochemical characteristics of corn starch during the alkali gelatinization process. Here, solubility and the amounts of eluted polysaccharides and amyloses increased in proportion to the amount of alkali added. The X-ray diffraction patterns and DSC thermogram showed that in the early stage of alkali gelatinization, crystallinity of the starch granules was disrupted as compared with heat gelatinization. This resulted in the eluted amylose content, while granule sizes were hardly changed in the alkali treated corn starch. The endotherm peak in the DSC thermogram shifted toward a higher temperature region as the degree of gelatinization increased, suggesting that the retained starch granules were more compactly crystallized during alkali gelatinization than during the heat process. Thus, we concluded that during the alkali gelatinization of corn starch, the disruption of weak particles would occur first, before swelling of the granules.

Glutinous rice cake(Chalduk) was made by varying the hours of soaking time of glutinous rice in the water(0, 4, 8, 12, 24 hours). After storage for various periods, the sensory and physical characteristics and the degree of gelatinization were examined in order to determine the effect of glutinous rice soaking period on the quality of Chalduk. The results of the study are summarized as follows. In the sensory test, 8-hour water soaking produced the significantly highest score for salty taste, while 0-hour water soaking had the lowest score. Four-hour water soaking had the significantly highest score for the degree of chewiness. Eight-hour water soaking had the significantly highest score for overall desirability. For the moisture content of Chalduk covered with bean flour, 8-hour water soaking produced the highest moisture content but the difference was not significant. For the degree of gelatinization, 8-hour water soaking had the highest maltose content, which confirmed the suitability of 8-hour water soaking glutinous rice. Eight-hour water soaking had the lowest hardness. With increasing storage period, the hardness sharply increased. Elasticity was higher for the long-period immersed samples than for the non-immersed samples. In conclusion, an 8-hour soaking time for glutinous rice in water was proposed to maximize the Chalduk quality.

High-ratio cakes made from the formulas with more sugar (140% based on flour weight) than flour have come to be preferred recently. To produced good light cake structure, cake batter must retain the many finely divided gas bubbles formed during mixing . Thermal setting of cake structure is mainly caused by starch gelatinization . The formula controls the temperature at which the cake batter changes from a fluid to a solid. Especially, the relatively large amount of sugar used in the formula delays gelatinization, so that air bubbles can be properly expanded by carbon dioxide gas and water vapor before the cake sets. To get a non collapsing high ratio cake structure after baking , the proper degree of gelatinization of the starch granule, the control of gelatinization temperature, and sufficient gel strength ar all important. The role of ingredients (flour , sugar, proteins, chemical leavening agents, water shortening , and emulsifiers) is reviewed with relation to the formation of satisfactory cake structure.

The effect of mugwort powder on some physicochemical properties of rice flour, the viscosity of rice flour pastes and the degree of gelatinization of pastes and gels were investigated. By addition of mugwort, water binding capacity, swelling power, and solubility of rice flour were increased, also the viscosity and, the degree of gelatinization of rice flour pastes and gels were increased. Generally wet rice flour-mugwort pastes and gels were better than those of dry rice flour-mugwort. And viscosity and gelatinization of the rice-mugwort pastes and gels were decreased slightly during storage at $20^{\circ}C$ for 7 days.

Alpha-barley were prepared by means of soaking, heating, and drying treatment. The degree of gelatinization ${\alpha}-barley$ were determined. The yield of ${\alpha}-barley$ prepared by microwave heating, steaming, and autoclaving were in the range of 95-98%, whereas by boiling, only 74-89% of ${\alpha}-barley$ were obtained. The degree of gelatinization of ${\alpha}-barley$ prepared by 5 min microwave heating and 10 min and 20 min steaming were around 90%. Alpha-barley prepared by boiling, autoclaving and 30 min steaming showed above 95% of degree of gelatinization.

The influence of sodium salts and chlorides at various concentrations (0.05, 0.10, 0.50, and 1.00%) on the reheating behavior of retrograded rice starch and cooked rice was investigated. The degree of gelatinization of the all retrograded rice starch gels and the cooked rice containing sodium salts and chlorides increased after reheating compared to the starches without salt. Gelatinization also showed an increasing trend as the concentration of sodium salts and chlorides increased. The increase of gelatinization after reheating the samples containing sodium salts and chlorides was greater than 38.0%. The reheated retrograded rice starch and cooked rice containing $Na_3PO_4$ showed the lowest set back value and retrogradation rate constant. Among all the samples, the cooked sample containing $Na_3PO_4$ showed the highest increment of gelatinization after reheating. Also, this same sample showed the lowest retrogradation degree.

In this study, we aimed to assess the effect of flaking on the nutrient digestibility of corn grain in ruminants. In this regard, in vitro rumen fermentation, in situ rumen degradability, and in vivo metabolic experiments were performed. The automated gas production technique was used for the in vitro fermentation experiments. Six types of corn flakes with various degrees of gelatinization (32%, 41%, 48%, 66%, 86%, and 89%) were ground and incubated in rumen fluid to measure rumen fermentation characteristics and digestion rate. The in situ degradability of ground corn, whole corn, and corn flakes with 62% and 66% gelatinization was measured by incubation in the rumen of two cannulated Holstein cows. In vivo metabolic experiments were performed using 12 crossbred goats (29.8 ± 4.37 kg) using a 3 × 3 Latin square design. The dietary treatments consisted of ground corn and flaked corn with 48% or 62% gelatinization. In vitro experiments showed that as the degree of gelatinization increased, the digestion rate increased linearly, while the discrete lag time decreased linearly (p < 0.05). The effective rumen dry matter degradability, determined by in situ fermentation, was 37%p lower in corn flakes than ground corn, assuming a passage rate of 6%/h (p < 0.01), and there was no difference between the two flakes. In the in vivo experiment, there was no difference in dry matter intake, average daily gain, feed efficiency, and nitrogen utilization among the treatment groups (p > 0.05); however, the crude fat digestibility was lower for corn flakes than for ground corn (p < 0.05). To summarize, the rate of fermentation of corn flakes increased as the degree of gelatinization increased. However, non-ground corn flakes had lower rumen digestibility and did not improve in vivo apparent nutrient digestibility, compared with ground corn. In contrast to the assumption that flaked corn provides more energy to ruminant animals than ground corn, we conclude that the digestibility and energy value of corn flakes are lower than those of ground corn if mastication does not sufficiently reduce the particle size of corn flakes.

This study was undertaken to investigate the effect of cereals on the physicochemical and sensory characteristics of Noti. Noti is one of Korean traditional pan-fried glutinous cereal cakes. In this case, Noti was made from the steamed glutinous millet flour Aspergillus and Penicillium developed in glutinous millet Noti dough from 40th day. The reducing sugar content of glutinous millet Noti was higher than that of the Noti dough during the same period and almost similar as the first day even 90 day storage. The moisture content of glutinous millet Noti was less than 20％. Moisture content of glutinous millet Noti to compare with the common rice cake was from 1/2 to 1/3. While gelatinization degree significantly decreased in the rice cake that did not add malt, glutinous millet Noti did not show decreasing gelatinization degree in comparison with the common rice cake. Overall acceptability was to add 15％ malt and keep 6 hr saccharification time at 60$^{\circ}C$. The hard ness of glutinous millet Noti by Instron measurement was slowly increased after the l0th day. Cohesiveness and elasticity were increased during the period of storage.
