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.

We studied the feasibility of monitoring and controlling the manufacturing process of an infant formula with rice starch by testing in-process samples using rheology. We used DSC to first determine the gelatinization temperature of the rice starch, a key ingredient of this product. With this characteristic temperature and the process design known, rheological measurements were conducted on the in-process samples for detecting the presence and extent of gelatinization and retrogradation of rice starch; in-process samples were collected from the carbohydrate tank, after the homogenizer, and the finished product tank. The correlation between the rheological measurements on these samples and manufacturing performance proved that rheology is a very sensitive tool for monitoring the structural development of this infant formula during main process, and their influence on sterilization efficiency. We observed that the lower degree of gelatinization during main process, a shorter residence time in the finished product tank, and using caustic flush rather than clean-in-place additively lead to higher sterilization efficiency. These findings can be utilized for a rational design and analysis of the manufacturing process for infant formulas containing rice starch.

The effects of steeping on the physicochemical and gelatinization characteristics of glutinous rice flour and its starch were studied. Steeping conditions were 1 day at 25"C,7 days at 2iC and 7 days at 35"C. Crude protein, lipid and ash content were decreased br steeping. It was observed with scanning electron microscopy that endosperm cell wall of glutinous rice flour was diminished by steeping. Although morphology of the glutinous rice starch granules was not affected, the size was decreased by steeping. Density and water binding capacity(WBC) of glutinous rice flour and its starch were changed by steeping. X-ray diffraction pattern of glutinous rice starch was A type and was not affected by steeping. Swelling power of glutinous rice flour and its starch was increased but solubility was decreased by steeping. In Brabender amylographic examination, peak viscosity of untreated glutinous rice flour was very low and increased enormously by steeping resulting in the similar Brabender viscosity pattern to its starch. The gelatinization temperature examined by X-ray diffractometry was lowered by steeping. And the degree of gelatinization under the conclusion temperature increased with increasing of steeping Period and temperature.mperature.

Some properties of starches from three naked barley cultivars(Songhak, Youngsan and Jinan 56) were compared. No significant differences in water-binding capacity, amylose content, relative crystallinity, swelling power and gelatinization degree at various pasting temperatures among cultivars were observed. However, starches showed characteristic viscograph indices and viscosity development patterns in aqueous sodium hydroxide solution. Songhak starch exhibited the lowest pasting temperature and was the most resist to alkali gelatinization.

Ohmic heating uses electric resistance heat which occurs equally and rapidly inside of food when electrical current is flown into. In other study, we researched about soybean protein's characteristic changes by ohmic heating. Nevertheless treated same temperature, denaturation of soybean protein were accelerated by ohmic heating than conventional heating. In this time, we studied thermal property change of potato starch by ohmic heating besides conventional heating. For this purpose, potato starch was heated at same subgelatinization temperature by ohmic and conventional heating. And thermal properties were tested using DSC. Annealing of starch is heat treatment method that heated at 3~4% below the gelatinization point. DSC analysis results of this study, the $T_o$, $T_p$, $T_c$ of potato starch levels were increased, whereas $T_c{\sim}T_o$ was narrowed. This thermal property changes appear similar to annealing's result. It is thought the results shown in this study, because the heating from below the gelatinization point. 6, 12, 24, 72, and 120 hours heating at $55^{\circ}C$ for potato starch, $T_o$, $T_p$, $T_c$ values continue to increased with heating time increase. The gelatinization temperature of raw potato starch was $65.9^{\circ}C$ and the treated starch by conventional heating at $55^{\circ}C$ for 120 hr was $72^{\circ}C$, ohmic was $76^{\circ}C$. The gelatinization range of conventional (72 hr) was $10^{\circ}C$, ohmic was $8^{\circ}C$. In case of 24 hours heating at 45, 50, 55, 60, $65^{\circ}C$ for potato starch, the result was similar to before. $T_o$, $T_p$, $T_c$ values continue to increased and gelatinization range narrowed with heating temperature increase. In case of conventional heating at $60^{\circ}C$, the results of gelatinization temperature and range were $70.1^{\circ}C$ and $9.1^{\circ}C$. And ohmic were $74.4^{\circ}C$ and $7.5^{\circ}C$. When viewed through the results of the above, the internal structure of starch heated by ohmic heating was found that the shift to a more stable form and to increase the homology of the starch internal structure.

Sulgidduk samples made with additions of 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10% Houttuynia cordata Thunb. powder, and a control were examined for quality characteristics such as moisture content, water activity, color, gelatinization properties, textural characteristics, and sensory qualities in order to determine the optimal ratio of Houttuynia cordata Thunb. powder in the formulation. The moisture contents among the samples ranged from 41.98% to 44.97%, and increased as the content of Houttuynia cordata Thunb. powder increased. The water activities of the samples were not significantly different. As the Houttuynia cordata Thunb. powder content increased, the redness and yellowness of the samples also increased, but lightness decreased. For the gelatinization properties, the additions of Houttuynia cordata Thunb. powder caused decreases in peak viscosity (P) and holding strength viscosity (H). Furthermore, final viscosity (F), setback, and time to peak viscosity decreased with increasing Houttuynia cordata Thunb. powder content; however, breakdown and temperature to peak viscosity were not significantly different among the samples. Hardness and gumminess decreased with increasing Houttuynia cordata Thunb. powder content, and adhesiveness, cohesiveness, chewiness, and resilience also tended to decrease; however, springiness was not significantly different among the samples. In the consumer acceptance test, as the content of Houttuynia cordata Thunb. powder increased, the scores of all evaluated characteristics decreased; while the characteristic intensity ratings showed the reverse effect, and the 2 and 4% Houttuynia cordata Thunb. powder samples obtained fairly good scores. In conclusion, the results indicate that adding $2{\sim}4%$ Houttuynia cordata Thunb. powder to Sulgidduk is optimal, providing good physiological properties and reasonably high overall consumer acceptability.

Starch is widely used as an adhesive material in the paper and corrugated board industry. The adhesion problem of corrugated board is categorized by two main parts called zipper board and white glue line. The object of this research is to investigate the factors affecting the adhesion problem by the gelatinization of various starch solutions and dynamic penetration properties measurements of various commercial base paper and handsheets. Flow property of starch solution is affected by sodium hydroxide addition and reaction level. Absorption property of commercial base papers and handsheets is affected by sizing and stock composition. Optimum bonding between top/bottom liners and corrugated medium is accomplished by acceptable flow viscosity of mixed starch solution and proper adsorption characteristic of base paper.

The effects of sodium stearoyl lactylate(SSL) on the thermal properties of wheat starch and amylopectin, and the crystallinity properties of amylopectin were investigated using differential scanning calorimetry(DSC) and X-ray diffractometer. On the rescan(second heating), amylopectin produced the featureless thermogram shown at the second heating, and SSL alone melted at $40{\sim}55^{\circ}C$, while the mixture of amylopectin containing 8% water and SSL(10:1), presenting the evidence of AP-SSL complex, showed differentiate melting temperature(other crystallinity) from SSL alone. Also, the melting enthalpy of AP and SSL mixture by subsequent heating and cooling were continuously increased. Further, the mixtures of wheat starch: SSL (5:1, w/w) and amylopectin: SSL(5:1, w/w), indicated AP-SSL complex, showed the reversible melting peak at temperature range of $60{\sim}70^{\circ}C$ together with melting peak of SSL observed at temperature range of $40{\sim}55^{\circ}C$. AP-SSL complex in the X-ray diffraction, compared V-form of amylose-lipid complex, exhibited characteristic peaks($2{\theta}$, 5.57, 20.903, 23.227). The gelatinization enthalpy value of wheat starch in the presence of SSL, observed at temperature range of $50{\sim}70^{\circ}C$, was decreased at total water content 60%, whearas had no significant effect at total water content 40, 50%, and also, SSL increased melting enthalpy of amylose-lipid complex. The extent of AP and wheat starch retrogradation wasreduced significantly by SSL.

Physicochemical properties of domestic millet starches were determined. Amylose contents of nonwaxy and waxy millet starches were 28.0 and 8.0%, respectively. The water binding capacity of nonwaxy millet starch was slightly higher than that of waxy millet starch. There was no recognizable difference on granule size between nonwaxy and waxy millet starch. Abrupt increases in swelling power over $80^{\circ}C$ of gelatinization temperature were characteristic features of millet starches. The initiation of increase in light penetration was started slightly earlier in case of waxy millet starch. Maximum viscosities of $6{\sim}7%$ nonwaxy and waxy millet starch were 300-460 and 800-1080 B.U., respectively. The conspicuous break-down was noticed in waxy millet starch.

The mechanical and thermal properties of solutions of acorn starch were investigated, to determine the effect of sucrose on the retrogradation. The contents of moisture and amylose of purified acorn starch was 9.35, 27% respectively. From the moecular weight distribution, Mw and Mn of acorn starch were 1,220,432 and 137,201 relatively and the polydispersity of acorn starch was 8.8952. The creep compliance of acorn starch with and without sucrose were decreased with increasing sucrose concentration in the short term. The temperatures of DSC curve of 15% acorn starch solution containg sucrose shifted slightly to higher temperatures with increasing sucrose content. The enthalpy change associated with the gelatinization was increased with increasing sucrose content. After 7 days storage, the creep compliance of acorn starch gel with sucrose were shown higher than acorn starch gel. Regelatinization enthalpy of acorn starch/sucrose/water system was decreased with increasing sucrose content and increased with storage time. In addition, the characteristic temperatures such as onset temperature, peak temperature and conclusion temperature was increased by sucrose addition. Retrogradation ratio decreased with increasing sucrose content, thus sucrose inhibit retrogradation in the long term. Sucrose acts as an antistaling reagents and retatards the retrogradation.
