The amylograph pasting properties of flours $(9{\sim}12%,\;db)$ and starches $(7.5{\sim}9.0%\;db)$ of Korean rice cultivars indicated that the flour concentration to give a fixed peak viscosity was higher by 1.32 times compared with starch, regardless the maturity. Only at 12% flour concentration the peak viscosity and breakdown viscosity were differentiated among maturity groups, which suggested that flour may be better tool than starch in characterizing the maturity groups by pasting properties.

This study was conducted to examine the influence of different transplanting dates on rice quality and starch properties (morphology and pasting properties) of rice varieties that may be used for the production of rice flour. Three rice flour varieties, 'Seolgaeng', 'Hangaru', and 'Milyang317', were transplanted on May 20, May 30, June 10, and June 20. The peak viscosity decreased with a delay in the transplanting date. However, the amylose content increased with a delay in the transplanting date, whereas that of protein decreased. Amylopectin short-branch chain content increased in the rice varieties that were transplanted on May 30. The morphology of the starch granule of the varieties was determined by SEM. No apparent external difference in the starch granules was observed for the different transplanting dates. These results indicate that the transplanting date influenced the amylopectin structure and pasting properties, which led to changes in the physicochemical characteristics of rice starch.

As a principle ingredient in omija-eui, the physicochemical properties of mung bean starch (MBS) paste were investigated and compared to those of rice and corn starch. The amylose and the protein content of MBS were higher than those of rice or corn starch while the total sugar content and the swelling power of MBS were lower. In addition, the clarity of MBS paste was higher than either rice or corn starch paste. Regarding pasting properties, the peak viscosity and cool paste viscosity of MBS were higher than those of either rice or corn starch. During the freeze-thaw cycle, MBS exhibited higher degree of syneresis than corn and rice starch, which decreased with high starch concentration and heating temperature. The paste properties and freeze-thaw stability of MBS showed a potential for improving the quality of omija-eui.

Physicochemical properties of hydroxypropylated and cross-linked (HPCL) rice starch were investigated. Dual modification of rice starch was carried out by hydroxypropylation using propylene oxide (2, 6, and 12%) and then crosslinking using phosphorus oxychloride (0.005% and 0.02%). Swelling power of dual-modified rice starch increased at lower temperature (60$^{\circ}C$) than that of native rice starch (70$^{\circ}C$). HPCL rice starch showed slightly lower solubility (1.6-6.1%) than native rice starch (2.2-13.8%). Solubility and swelling power tended to gradually increase with increasing phosphorus oxychloride contents. RVA pasting temperature (66.2-70.8$^{\circ}C$) and peak viscosity (160.6- 171.1 RVU) of HPCL rice starch were lower than that of those of native starch (71.3$^{\circ}C$, 190.4 RVU) and decreased with increasing propylene oxide concentration. DSC thermal transitions of HPCL rice starches shifted to lower temperature and show less amylopectin melting enthalpy (11.8-9.8 J/g) than that of native rice starch (11.9 J/g). Overall, physicohemical properties of HPCL rice starches were highly dependent on hydroxypropylation rather than crosslinking.

Purpose: The properties of starch and starch gel prepared from a newly inbred sweet potato, Daeyumi were compared to the properties of starch and starch gel prepared from Sinyulmi which is a well known mealy type sweet potato. Methods: The starch was isolated by using the alkaline steeping method. Physicochemical, pasting, and thermal properties, and crystallinity were measured. The texture properties of starch gel (10%, w/w) were examined. Results: The amylose contents of Daeyumi and Sinyulmi starches were 25.57% and 22.59%, respectively. The initial pasting temperature of Daeyumi starch was significantly higher than that of Sinyulmi starch (p<0.05), but other paste viscosities were not different. The peak and conclusion temperatures of Daeyumi starch were higher than those of Sinyulmi starch by differential scanning calorimetry. The shape of Daeyumi starch gel was more clear and rigid than the shape of Sinyulmi starch gel. The surface and the upper side of Daeyumi starch gel were smoother than the surface and the upper side of Sinyulmi starch gel. Hardness and gumminess were higher in Daeyumi starch gel than in Sinyulmi starch gel. The crystallinity types of Daeyumi and Sinyulmi starches were $C_b$ and A types, respectively, but starch gels showed an amorphous type. Conclusion: Therefore, it is suggested that Daeyumi starch would have better physicochemical properties and higher quality of starch gel than Sinyulmi starch.

pasting characteristics. Their water contents, water holding capacities, solubilities, swelling power, amylose contents, damaged starches, particle sizes and pasting characteristics were measured. The water content and water holding capacities of various types of rice flours collected in the market were 7.64-14.97% and 95.22-232.94%, respectively. Their solubilities and swelling power were 1.97-37.40% and 1.33-5.76, respectively. Various types of rice flour had 32.11-305.67 ${\mu}m$ particle sizes. Among the various types of rice flour collected in the market, the lowest starch damaged content was 3.17%. The peak viscosities of the samples were 17.74-295.95 RVA. Among the rice flours that were collected in the market, the lowest pasting temperature was $69.72^{\circ}C$. As a result, it was shown that rice flour types with high starch damage contents tend to have higher expressed water holding capacities. Moreover, the samples with lower particle sizes tended to have final viscosities, and pasting temperatures.

Normal rice starch (NRS) possesses high gelling and retrogradation tendencies, with poor freeze-thaw stability. This study investigated the effects of partial replacement of waxy rice starch (WRS) with gums on the pasting and viscoelastic properties as well as the freeze-thaw stability of the WRS paste. Xanthan gum (XAT), locust bean gum (LBG), and their mixtures were individually mixed with WRS at a ratio of 1:19 (w/w). WRS-gum mixtures were pasted using a rapid visco-analyzer at 5% total solid content, and analyzed with respect to the pasting and viscoelastic characteristics, and freeze-thaw stability. Pasting properties of WRS were retarded in pasting temperature and enhanced in pasting viscosity (although peak viscosity was varied) by partial replacement with gum and gum mixtures. Storage moduli of WRS-XAT:LBG pastes became similar to those of NRS paste with increasing angular frequency from 1 to 10 rad/s. Finally, WRS-XAT and WRS-XAT:LBG possessed more enhanced freeze-thaw stability than NRS.

Molecular structures and functional properties of starches isolated from normal, waxy, and zero amylose barleys were examined. Amylopectins from zero amylose starch had the largest molecular weight $(M_w)$, whereas those from high amylose starch, the smallest. A good correlation between the $(M_w)$ and the radius of gyration $(R_g)$ was observed among amylopectins from various starches, indicating similar polymeric conformation in solution even with the differences in the $(M_w)$. The debranched amylopectin molecules from different types of barley starches exhibited similar profiles, implying that the packing geometry of double helices in the different types of barley starches may be similar. Zero amylose starch showed the highest peak viscosity (326 RVU) in RV A viscograms at lower pasting temperature $(67.6^{\circ}C)$, compared to normal and high amylose starches. Relationship between RVA peak viscosity and amylose content suggested that the presence of amylose inhibited the development of granular swelling of barley starches during cooking. A rapid retrogradation, traced by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and strain-controlled rheometry, occurred in the high amylose starch sample during storage, while zero amylose starch showed a very good resistance to retrogradation, indicating excellent storage stability.

The soft rice varieties, Hangaru and Singil, were developed via mutation breeding using N-methyl-N-nitrosourea treatment to obtain dry-milled rice flours. The physicochemical, morphological, and pasting properties of these starches were compared with those of Seolgaeng and Chuchung starches. Singil starch was found to exhibit the highest amylose content and initial pasting temperature, whereas Hangaru starch exhibited the highest water binding capacity and swelling power. Hangaru starch's granule size at $d_{50}$ was the largest among the four different starch types. Some Seolgaeng, Hangaru, and Singil granules were observed to have a round-faced polygon shape. Furthermore, the crystallinity of all four starch types was type A. The peak, trough, and final viscosities of the soft rice starches were also lower than those of normal starches. Notably, Hangaru starch showed the highest breakdown viscosity, but the lowest total setback viscosity among the four starches. From these results, the starch characteristics of the soft rice flours were discovered to be different based on the rice variety.

The sugar alcohols are useful alternatives to sucrose in confections because they provide desirable taste but lessen the potential risks for dental caries. The effects of sugar alcohol and their interaction on starch pasting properties were determined by the viscoamylograph with the concentration of 30%, 20%, 10% sugar alcohol in 1% CMC. The disaccharides, lactitol, maltitol, and isomalt, delayed pasting more than did monosaccharides, sorbitol and xylitol. With regard to the solubility in water, sorbitol and xylitol are more soluble than sucrose, maltitol and lactitol are almost equal and isomalt is less soluble than sucrose. Sorbitol and xylitol were highest on gelatinization. But their retrogradation occurred faster than other sugar alcohols. Lactitol and maltitol decreased gel strength more than did sucrose and other sugar alcohols.
