For the first 42 days, we made rats obese by feeding them potato starch instead of corn starch and after that we fed them transformed potato starch by 4 groups for 70 days. The 4 groups are GPS group, SPS group, EZ group and H40 groups and each were fed normal potato, small potato, enzyme treated potato, and acid treated potato starches, respectively. We determined body weight and feeding efficiency, lipid profiles in serum, lipid peroxidation in tissues and redox antioxidant system as GSH and GP-x in vivo. As a result, there was no difference in the increment of body weight in the groups of GPS, EZ and H40. Therefore EZ group showed lower body weight increment than other groups. While GPS group and SPS group did not show significant difference in blood glucose, cholesterol level, LDL-cholesterol and TC, and their measured values were lower than those of EZ and H40 groups. No significant difference was found in HDL-cholesterol level except for GPS group. Furthermore, when calculating atherogenic index (AI) by HDL-cholesterol and TC contents, H40 group showed higher measured value than other groups. When measuring the lipid peroxidation in serum, kidney and liver tissues, the serum lipid peroxidation in H40 group was higher than others. In the tissue of liver and kidney, EZ and H40 groups showed significantly lower contents than others. The content of GSH showed different tendency in each tissue, but the measured value of GP-x activity was lower in SPS group.

In order to observe the effects of resistant starches on the physio-nutrition in women, nine female university students were investigated using cellulose (CED), resistant starch 3 (RS3D) and resistant starch 4 (RS4D) diets. Each woman's daily intake and excretions of energy, protein and lipid were mesured together with the apparent digestibility and the amounts of total cholesterol and HDL-cholesterol were measured. The results obtained from this researh are as follows. The daily energy intake were significantly higher in the RS4D (Resistant starch 4 diet) compared with the CED(Cellulose) and the RS3D (Resistant starch 3 diet). The metabolic energy in those periods with RS added to their diets were significantly higher whereas the metabolic energy in the period CED was significantly low. The daily protein intake was significantly higher in the RS4D compared with the CED and the RS3D. The apparent digestibility of protein was significantly higher in the RS4D compared with the CED and the RS3D. The daily lipid intake was significantly higher in the CED compared with the RS3D and the RS4D. The apparent digestibility of lipid was not significant in that period. The concentration of total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, % of HDL-cholesterol and atherogenic index (A.I.) were not significant in those period. As the above results indicate, while RS3 appear to have similar effect on energy consumption rate, apparent protein digestibility and content of cholesterol in plasma, compared with the CED, but energy consumption rate and apparent digestibility of protein are significantly higher in the RS4D compared with the CED. Thus, it appears that cellulose and RS 3 share similar effects on physio-nutrition in human, while RS4 does not have the similar effects. (Korean J Nutrition 35(9) : 932∼942, 2002)

The compositions of lipid class and fatty acid of free lipids as non-starch lipid and bound lipids(extraction either at low or high temperature) as starch-lipid extracted from starch in mung bean(phaseolus radiatus L) was investigated. The contents of neutral lipids glycolipids and phospholipids in free lipids were 98.2% 1.7% and 0.1%, whereas those found in bound lipids were 84.3-85.7% 10.5-11.0%, and 5.2-3.3% respectively The major components of neutral lipid fraction in the bound lipids were triglyceride and esterified sterol and those were composed of 0% of total neutral lipids. Monogalactosyl idiglyceride and esteryl steryl glycoside were observed as main glycolipids components in both free and bound lipids. Among the phospholipids in the bound lipids phosphatidylinositol phosphatidyl serine and phosphati-dyl ethanolamine were identified an major constituents. The free lipids contained palmitic(50.2%) stearic(20.6%) oleic(8.5%) and behenic(7.4%) acids and bound lipids had more palmi-tic and linoleic acids but less stearic acid compared to thosed in the free lipids.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of high amylose corn starch consumption on plasma, liver and feces lipid profiles and immune responses in male Sprague-Dawley rats. Experimental animals were fed on diets containing the high amylose starch (HAS,0, 125, 250,500 g/kg diet) for 4 weeks. HAS intake did not affect on food intakes and food efficiency ratio. Final body weights were lowered in HA100 group than in control group. HAS intakes dose dependently increased the weights of cecum and excretion of feces per day, and decreased the pH of cecum contents. And HAS intakes significantly decreased the plasma total lipid, triglyceride and total cholesterol levels. But there were not significant differences total lipid, triglyceride and cholesterol concentrations in liver. The absolute and relative weights of thymus and spleen, plasma Is G and $C_3$ concentrations were unaffected by experimental diets. The splenocyte proliferations with low dose Con A (0.1$\mu\textrm{g}$/10 $\mu$L) as lower in HA25 group and HA50 group than in control group. These results demonstrate that high amylose corn starch intakes significantly improve lipid profiles in plasma.

We have investigated the intestinal functions and hypolipidemic effects of resistant starch (RS) in rats. Experimental groups were CON (cooked starch 45% + RS 7%), RSIO (cooked starch 35% +RS 10%), RS20 (cooked starch 25%+RS20%), and RS30 (cooked starch 15%+RS 30%). The weight gains during experimental period were slightly decreased by intake of resistant starch and the weights of epididymal fat pad were lower in resistant starch intake groups than in CON, although the difference was not significant. In intestinal functions, water contents of fecal, transit time and colon cell proliferation were affected by resistant starch. Plasma total lipid and triglyceride concentrations were significantly decreased, dose-dependently, by resistant starch intake. Conclusively, it is important to intake resistant starch in order to decrease plasma lipids and to improve intestinal functions.

Flour and isolated starch from chickpea (desi type, 328S-8) were evaluated for their in vitro digestibility and physicochemical properties. The protein content, total starch content and apparent amylose content of chickpea flour and isolated starch were 22.2% and 0.6%, 45.8% and 91.5%, and 11.7% and 35.4%, respectively. Chickpea starch granules had an oval to round shape with a smooth surface. The X-ray diffraction pattern of chickpea starch was of the C-type and relative crystallinity was 24.6%. Chickpea starch had only a single endothermic transition (13.3 J/g) in the DSC thermogram, whereas chickpea flour showed two separate endothermic transitions corresponding to starch gelatinization (5.1 J/g) and disruption of the amylose-lipid complex (0.7 J/g). The chickpea flour had a significantly lower pasting viscosity without breakdown due to low starch content and interference of other components. The chickpea starch exhibited significant high setback in the viscogram. The average branch chain length, proportion of short branch chain (DP 6~12), and long branch chains (DP${\geq}$37) of isolated chickpea starch were 20.1, 20.9% and 9.2%, respectively. The rapidly digestible starch (RDS), slowly digestible starch (SDS) and resistant starch (RS) contents of chickpea flour and starch were 9.9% and 21.5%, 28.7% and 57.7%, and 7.1% and 9.3%, respectively. The expected glycemic index (eGI) of chickpea flour (39.5), based on the hydrolysis index, was substantially lower than that of isolated chickpea starch (69.2).

Microstructures of 18 kinds of legume seeds (15 varieties including 3 strains) which were cultivated in tropical areas, were observed under a light microscope. Majority of legume seeds were composed of starchy cotyledonary cells in which large amounts of single starch granules were contained, while a few had cotyledonary cells filled with a number of protain bodies. Starch granules were different in size and shape depending on varieties. Some contained lipid bodies distributed in cytoplasmic network, and were distinctive in thick cell walls. Microstructure of soybean was also observed for the comparison of the structures.

Lipid oxidation and antioxidant stabilities of nut-sesame yeotgangjeong (Korean traditional candy bar) with different binders were evaluated during storage in the dark. S1, S2, and S3 binders consisted of starch syrup, sugar, and water (58:34:7.6, w/w/w); starch syrup, jocheong, honey, trehalose, and water (43.5:11.6:2.9:34:7.6, w/w/w/w/w); and starch syrup, jocheong, honey, sugar, trehalose, and water (43.5:11.6:2.9:17:17:7.6, w/w/w/w/w/w); respectively. Lipid oxidation was determined by peroxide and p-anisidine values, and tocopherol, lignan, and polyphenol contents were determined spectrophotometrically. Peroxide values were significantly higher (p<0.05) in yeotgangjeong samples with S2 or S3 binder than in those with S1; however, the converse was true for tocopherol degradation. Lignan was the most stable antioxidant in yeotgangjeong. The results suggest that tocopherols have a priority over lignans to control the lipid oxidation of yeotgangjeong during storage; reduced lipid oxidative stability after substituting sugar with trehalose might be because it increases oxygen diffusivity and inhibits the antioxidant action of tocopherols on lipids.

Because microalgae represent high growth rate than terrestrial plants, and it can accumulate significant lipid and carbohydrate content, and other bioactive compounds such as carotenoid and polyphenol in their body, it has been considered as one of the promising resources in bio-energy, and other industries. Although many studies has been performed about the microalgae-derived biochemical accumulation under various abiotic conditions such as different temperatures, salinities and light intensities, the studies about simultaneous effect of those parameters has rarely been performed. Therefore, this study focused on evaluation of simultaneous effect of different salinity (10, 30, 50 psu) and temperatures (20, 25, $30^{\circ}C$) on the changes of biomass, lipid, starch and photosynthetic pigment accumulation. As results, the highest growth rate was achieved at $30^{\circ}C$ and 30 psu in the both algal cultures, and the photosynthetic pigment, chlorophyll a and total carotenoid content, were increased in a temperature-dependent manner. The accumulation of lipid and starch contents exhibited different aspects under different combinations of temperature and salinity. From the results, it is suggested that the changes of microalgal lipid and starch accumulation under different salinities may be affected by the different temperatures.

Physicochemical properties of defatted and lipid-reintroduced kidney bean, mung bean, and corn starches were investigated. Granule shapes of kidney bean and mung bean starches were oval/round, but corn starch was polygonal and each shape was not changed after defatting and lipid reintroducing. The granule sizes of starches ranged $12{\sim}45{\mu}m,\;10{\sim}32{\mu}m\;and\;5{\sim}20{\mu}m$ respectively, but those of lipid reintroduced starches increased slightly. All starches showed Ca type in x-ray diffraction but relative crystallinity was decreased by defatting. The amylose contents of starches increased after defatting but decreased after lipid-reintroduction. The swelling power and solubility of untreated starches at each temperature increased by defatting but decreased by lipid-reintroduction except corn starches. The initial pasting temperatures of kidney bean, mung bean and corn starches by amylograph were $87,\;67\;and\;80^{\circ}C$ respectively, and those of them were lowered by defatting. The peak viscosity, height at $50^{\circ}C$, consistency and setback on amylogram of starches decreased by defatting but increased by lipid-reintroduction.
