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.

Resistant starch (RS) is metabolized by gut microbiota and involved in the production of short-chain fatty acids, which are related to a variety of physiological and health effects. Therefore, the availability of RS as a prebiotic is a topic of interest, and research on gut bacteria that can decompose RS is also important. The objectives in this study were 1) to isolate a human gut bacterium having strong degradation activity on non-gelatinized RS, 2) to characterize its RS-degrading characteristics, and 3) to investigate its probiotic effects, including a growth stimulation effect on other gut bacteria and an immunomodulatory effect. Bifidobacterium adolescentis P2P3 showing very strong RS granule utilization activity was isolated. It can attach to RS granules and form them into clusters. It also utilizes high-amylose corn starch granules up to 63.3%, and efficiently decomposes other various types of commercial RS without gelatinization. In a coculture experiment, Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron ATCC 29148, isolated from human feces, was able to grow using carbon sources generated from RS granules by B. adolescentis P2P3. In addition, B. adolescentis P2P3 demonstrated the ability to stimulate secretion of Th1 type cytokines from mouse macrophages in vitro that was not shown in other B. adolescentis. These results suggested that B. adolescentis P2P3 is a useful probiotic candidate, having immunomodulatory activity as well as the ability to feed other gut bacteria using RS as a prebiotic.

The extrusion-cooking method was used to make gelatinized rice extrudate from rice grits of the Chuchung and the Samgang varieties. The water contents of raw rice grits varied from 15% to 25%, and the physicochemical properties of extrudates were evaluated. Low moisture content showed high expansion ratio in rice extrudate and resulted in some decrease in gelatinization, bulk density and break strength. Increasing the water content to 25% resulted in increase in water absoption index but decrease in water solubility index. With regards to Brabender Amylograph values and rheological patterns, higher moisture content in raw materials revealed stronger pseudoplastic flow behavior with lower viscogram property. Hunter's color values of rice flours extruded at low water content were low in b values. Scanning electron microscopy demonstrated the break-down of starch granules during extrusion.

The objectives of this research were to analyze physicochemical properties of physically modified rice starch which was prepared by hydro-shear homogenizer and ultrasonic homogenizer. The 5:1 of water to starch ratio, 20,500 rpm of hydro-shear homogenizer, and 5 sec of pulse and 40 kHz of frequency of ultrasonic homogenizer, which were operated for 10 min. The 1/3 of size reduction of raw rice starch and gelatinized rice starch, and reduced of particle size were achieved by above processing conditions. The homogenization of raw rice starch and gelatinized rice starch were higher values of specific area, transmittance, solubility and swelling power than control. While, these had lower value of apparent viscosity than control. In raw rice starch, the gelatinization characteristics of ultrasonic homogenizer treated rice starch had some higher values of gelatinization temperature, peak temperature and enthalpy than those of control. While, those of hydro-shear homogenizer treated rice starch had similar values to those of control.

Rheological properties of gelatinized chestnut starch solution were investigated with a narrow gap rotational viscometer. The starch solutions at 1.2-1.8% concentration showed pseudoplastic behaviour with yield stress. At higher concentrations (1.65 and 1.8%), the starch solution showed more pseudoplastic tendency and time-dependent characteristics. Values of yield stress were small and independent of concentrations 1.2, 1.35 and 1.5%. Significant increase of yield stress was observed at 1.65% concentration. Consistency index was exponentially dependent on concentration and temperature. The activation energy for 1.65% starch solution was about 5 Kcal/g.mol.

Laver Pyropia sp. is the most exported seafood in Korea and is one of the most consumed edible seaweeds. The export of laver has been centered on seasoned laver products; of note, laver snack products coupled with rice papers or glutinous rice paste are becoming more popular in Western countries. These laver snacks are manufactured using a deep frying process. Therefore, the frying conditions affect the physicochemical and sensory characteristics of fried laver snacks. In this study, we optimized the deep-frying conditions for laver snacks with gelatinized rice dough using a response surface methodology. The frying temperature (X1, 190-220℃) and frying time (X2, 10-30 sec) were selected as independent variables; the dependent variables were the overall acceptance (Y1, points), hardness (Y2, N), and oil content (Y3, %). The optimal values of the frying temperature (X1) and time (X2) as per the overall acceptance (Y1) were 208℃ and 23.1 sec, respectively. The predicted overall acceptance (Y1=8.0 points), hardness (Y2=98.74N), and oil content (Y3=27.69%), were similar to the experimental values under the optimal conditions. Overall, the acceptance was inversely proportional to hardness; the decrease in hardness caused an increase in the crispiness of the laver snacks.

This study was conducted to examine the sensory quality characteristics of Hobakjook (pumpkin porridge) samples prepared with 0%, 4%, 8%, 12%, 16% of waxy rice powder and non-waxy rice powder. The moisture content and spreadability decreased with the addition of waxy and non-waxy rice powder, while total soluble solid and viscosity increased with the addition of rice powder (p<0.001). The lightness (L-values) of Hobakjook significantly increased with the addition of both rice powder, but the yellowness (b-values) decreased. In the attribute difference test of sensory evaluation, yellowness, gloss, pumpkin flavor, sourness, smoothness and intensity of after-taste were amount-dependently decreased with the addition of both rice powders. However, sweetness, savory flavor, astringency, gelatinized rice flavor, and viscosity significantly increased as the amount of rice powder increased. The rankings of overall acceptance by consumers were 12% > 16% > 8% > CON (0%) & 4% for Hobakjook samples with waxy rice powder, while 8% & 12% > 16% > CON(0%) & 4% for Hobakjook samples with non-waxy rice powder. However, there was no significant preference between waxy rice powder and non-waxy rice powder.

This study was performed to compare the differences in physicochemical characteristics between head and incomplete kernels separated from Ilpumbyeo, Korean rice cultivar. The contents of mineral and protein were higher in incomplete than head kernels. There was significant difference in composition of fatty acid and amino acids, which affect the taste, between two kernels. The gelatinized head kernel had the higher viscosity than incomplete kernel. The content and chain length of amylose were higher in head than incomplete kernels. Differential scanning calorimeter results revealed that head kernel had lower starting temperature, higher maximum temperature, and higher enthalpy for gelatinization than incomplete kernel. Also we could found that the hydrolysis rate by glucoamylase was higher in the head kernel than incomplete kernel.

To investigate physicochemical and cooking properties of parboiled rice, choochung paddy processed to parboiled rice by three methods (PL, PT, PA) milled and examined hydration, cooking qualities and firming rate of cooked parboiled rice. The results were obtained as follows. The longer the steaming time during parboiling the larger EMC of soaked parboiled rice. Water uptake rate constants (k) of all the parboiled rice during soaking except for PT rice were generally increased than those of raw rice. The longer the steaming time during parboiling the greater volume increase rate constants ( $k_{v}$) of parboiled rice samples. The glelatinization temperature of parboiled rice flour by DSC was more increased than that of raw rice flour. Gelatinized entalpy was decreased and gelatinization content (%SG: degree of starch gelatinization) was increased by parboiling process. In cooking tests, parboiled rices were harder than raw rice and softness (reciprocal of hardness) was greater PT30, PA, PL30 in turns the cooking time of the parboiled rice took longer 3-10 min than that of raw rice, PL30 took longer time than anyother rices. Cooking water of parboiled rices could be observed lighter turbidities than that of raw rice. Firming rate constants of cooked rice during storage 24 hours were generally decreased by parboiling-processing. The time constants, reciprocal of firming constants of cooked PL30 rice were 2 times slower than those of cooked raw rice.e.
