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 retrogradation properties of waxy starches isolated from waxy rice(Shin sun, Tong il), waxy barley(Suwon # 227), waxy indian millet. waxy millet and Jobs tears(Yullmoo) were investigated. The extent of retrogradation determined by the glucoamyase method during freeze-thaw treatment and storage in low temperature$(0{\sim}5^{\circ}C)$ showed that six kinds of waxy starches were very slowly retrograded. The order of the retrogradation tendencies of these starches were waxy indian millet > Suwon # 227 Waxy millet > Yullmoo > Tong il > Shin sun. Waxy indian millet and Suwon # 227 starches were distinctively retrograded compared with other starches. Retrogradation properties observed during freeze-thaw 30 cycles were similar to those of storage for 30 days at $0{\sim}5^{\circ}C$. Suwon # 227, which has been the only recommened variety in our nation, was composed of 15% of non-waxy starch and 85% of waxy starch granule.

The physicochemical properties such as blue value, iodine affinity, degree of polymerization (DP), $\alpha$-amylase digestibility, particle size, RVA pasting, and gel hardness of 4 different millet starches (foxtail, waxy foxtail, proso, and waxy proso) were investigated. The iodine affinity value of the four samples were 4.22, 0.49, 1.07, and 0.21%, and the DP values were 1830, 3880, 4660, and 4130, respectively. The levels of $\alpha$-amylase digestibility of the raw starches were 20.1, 30.7, 18.2 and 35.6%, respectively. The mean size of the proso millet starch was the smallest, $8.25\;{\mu}m$, and the size distribution of the particles was the narrowest among all the samples. Foxtail starch showed the largest peak viscosity and setback viscosity in RVA pasting.

Some properties of six kinds of waxy starches isolated from Olchal and Hankang(both of waxy rice), Chalborie (waxy barley), Yullmoo (waxy Job' tears), Chajoe (waxy foxtail millet), Chalsusu (waxy great millet) and Chalocsusu(waxy corn) were investigated. The average diameters of their starch granules were $4.2{\sim}19.0$ microns. X-ray diffraction study showed that these starches had A pattern. Blue values of iodine complexes of these waxy starches were $0.02{\sim}0.08$. The number of glucose units per segment of amylopectin molecule were $21{\sim}23$. Their raising powers were $180{\sim}280$.

The viscometric properties of six kinds of waxy starches of Olchal and Hankang(waxy rice), Chalborie (waxy barley), Yullmoo (waxy Job's tears), Chajoe (waxy foxtail millet), Chalsusu (waxy great millet) and Chalocsusu (waxy corn) were investigated. The increase in optical transmittance of 0.1% starch suspensions occurred at $55^{\circ}C$ for Hankang, $60^{\circ}C$ for Olchal, Chalborie, Chajoe and Yullmoo and $65^{\circ}C$ for Chalsusu and Chalocsusu, and further inrreased $70^{\circ}C$ for Hankang and Olchal, $75^{\circ}C$ for Chajoe, Chalsusu, Chalocsusu and Yullmoo and above $85^{\circ}C$ for chalborie. Amylogram on 5%, starch suspensions showed that gelatinization temperature and maximum peak height were 850 B.U. at $62^{\circ}C$ for Hankang, $65^{\circ}C$ and 980 B.U. for Olchae, $64^{\circ}C$ and 1,080 B.U. for Chalborie, and 1,410 B.U. at $69^{\circ}C$ for Yullmoo, and 1,280 B.U. at $71^{\circ}C$ for Chajoe, and 1,260 B.U. at $71^{\circ}C$for Chalsusu and 1,420 B.U. at $70^{\circ}C$ for Chalocsusu. Swelling power of starches was $38{\sim}55$, and Hankang, Olchal, Chajoe, Chalocsusu and Yullmoo starches had higher swelling power than Chalsusu and Chalborie starches. Intrinsic viscosity of them was $1.43{\sim}1.75$ and hardness of them highly relevant to the gelatinization properties.

Rheological properties of gelatinized millet starch dispersions were evaluated. Gelatinized nonwaxy and waxy millet starch dispersion were typical pseudoplastic fluids. At constant shear rate, gelatinized waxy millet starch dispersion showed higher shear stress than nonwaxy millet starch dispersion. Flow behaviours of gelatinized nonwaxy and waxy millet starch dispersion were well fitted to Herschel-Bulkley equation and flow behaviour index (n) and consistency index (K) were strongly concentration dependent. There was a linear relationship between concentration of gelatinized starch dispersion and square root of yield stress. The concentrations of gelatinized nonwaxy and waxy millet starch dispersion where yield stresses become zero were estimated as 2.19 and 1.69%, respectively. Pseudoplastic constant (m) approaches to a constant value in each type of millet starch when the concentration of gelatinized starch dispersion was increased. As the measuring temperatures increase, n value was increased, whereas, K value was decreased. The activation energies of gelatinized nonwaxy and waxy millet starch dispersion were 2.89 and 3.18kcal/mol, respectively.

In order to investigate a suitable carbohydrate-resources and the activities of starch decomposing enzymes in artifical diet of silkworm, the experiment was undertaken by adding eight kinds of starch in the diet of silkworm. Major characters and zymograms of amylase in body organs were studied by electrophoresis. The results obtained are as follows: 1. Starches of rice, barey and millet were comparatively good for maintaining practical characters of silkworm. 2. It is assumed that no treatments are need to increas purity of starch resources for artificial diet of silkworm. It was found that starch amounts adding to artificial diet are moeerate ranging 12 to 18 percent as dry weight. 3. Regardless of kinds of starch and varieties of silkwormr sametype of electrophoresis zymogram for amylase was resulted as three bands in hemolymph, four bands in intestine and two bands in intestine and two bands in silkgland. There was no band in the digestive juice. In case of 18 percent addition of starch and check plots, no amylose change was investigated in the hemolymph.
