To study the effect of amylose on the mechanism of gel formation, swelling power, water solubility, the pattern of alkali gelatinization and gel properties were investigated. The swelling power of waxy maize starch(Amioca) was the highest and followed by those of PFP ＞Amaizo ＞ Amylomaize Ⅶ. Amioca showed higher iodine affinity of soluble amylose than other maize starches. The apparent viscosity of alkali gelatinization measured by Brookfield viscometer for Amaizo was $70{\pm}10^3cp$ which was higher than Amylomaize VII. The apparent viscosity of PFP was increased to $70{\pm}10^3cp$ and then decreased. As maize starches were autoclaved at $121^{\circ}C$ with starch : water ratio (1:9) and autoclaving-cooling cycle were up to 4 times, gel properties were measured by rheometer. Amaizo showed the highest value for hardness, adhesiveness, springiness, cohesiveness, and hardness of gel after two times of autoclaving-cooling cycles was the highest. Gel properties was thus affected by the chain length of amylose rather than amylose content.

Proximate compositions, quality and physicochemical characteristics of small black soybean cultivar, cultivated in the north-central region of South Korea with different seeding periods, were evaluated. Proximate compositions, chromaticity, water binding capacity, water solubility index, swelling power, and antioxidant properties were significantly different among cultivars and different seeding periods. Moisture, crude ash, fat, protein, and carbohydrate contents of small black soybean cultivar were 5.53~6.69, 5.47~6.54, 15.38~19.14, 34.17~40.26, and 32.04~36.85 g/100 g, respectively. Lightness, redness and yellowness were 35.60~38.61, -0.02~0.07 and -0.56~-0.13, and water binding capacity, water solubility index and swelling power were 84.48~148.31, 46.65~54.89 and 29.87~35.12%, respectively. Total polyphenol contents of first, second, and third seedings on small black soybean cultivar were 10.40~15.48, 9.86~14.85 and 8.61~15.39 mg GAE/g; total flavonoid contents were 5.81~7.25, 5.81~7.34 and 5.52~7.64 mg CE/g, respectively. DPPH radical scavenging activity was 4.55~7.86, 3.99~8.79, and 3.74~9.43 mg TE/g, and ABTS radical scavenging activity was 9.32~12.90, 8.64~13.39, and 8.51~14.35 mg TE/g, respectively. Phenol compound of Tawonkong and Socheong cultivars decreased with delay of seeding periods. Radical scavenging activity of Socheong and Jununi cultivars decreased with delay of seeding periods, but Socheong 2 and Socheongja cultivars increased. In the study, phenol compound and radical scavenging activity of small black soybean cultivar were different, depending on cultivars and seeding periods.

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.

Rice was steeped at elevated temperatures of $40,\;50,\;or\;60^{\circ}C$ for 2 hr, and physicochemical properties of starches isolated from wet-milled rice flour were investigated. Steeping at elevated temperatures slightly decreased lightness of rice starch, while increased yellowness and redness. Average granule size of rice starch was decreased by steeping treatment. Swelling power and solubility increased as temperature increased. Starch from rice steeped at $40^{\circ}C$ displayed highest swelling power and solubility. Differential scanning calorimetry data of starch obtained from steeped rice at $60^{\circ}C$ showed increased onset and peak temperatures, with narrower gelatinization temperature range, suggesting partial annealing effect. Pasting properties of starch measured by Rapid Visco-Analyzer indicated increased peak viscosity due to rice steeping at $40^{\circ}C$. Peak and breakdown viscosities decreased at $50\;and\;60^{\circ}C$, whereas setback and final viscosities increased.

The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of soaking time on physicochemical properties of waxy rice, waxy rice flour and waxy rice starch. Waxy rice (WR), waxy rice flour (WRF), waxy rice starch (WRS) were soaked at $18^{\circ}C$ for 14 days and dried at $40^{\circ}C$. Dried samples were grounded and sieved using 180 mesh. Physicochemical properties of the three samples, such as swelling power, solubility, moisture sorption isotherms and pasting properties using rapid visco analyzer (RVA) and crystal pattern using X-ray diffractometer were determined. In all samples, soaking time greatly influenced moisture sorption isotherms but no typical pattern was shown. Swelling power was not greatly changed by soaking time in the three samples. Solubility increased with increasing soaking time in all three samples, indicating that some soluble particles were exuded during soaking. In RVA pasting properties, WR and WRF showed a similar pattern, while WRS showed different pasting properties, suggesting that rice protein plays a significant role in pasting properties. X-ray diffraction patterns of all three samples showed typical A-type crystal pattern suggesting that soaking did not affect crystalline region of samples.

Cowpea, mung bean, Kidney bean and red bean are simular properties. In order to elucidate the similarity among these four starches, some physicochemical properties of starches were compared. Water binding capacity of kidney bean and red bean (199%) starches are higher than mung bean and cowpea. The solubility, swlling power and optical transmittance of the four starches showed a similar pattern, but kidney bean and red bean starches had a lower swelling power than cowpea starches. Cowpea, mung bean, kidney bean and red bean starches had the blue value of 0.41, 0.47, 0.42 and 0.50, the alkali content of 8.4, 8.0, 4.13, 4.13, the amylose content of amylose of 30,000, 29,268, 52, 173 and 33, 611 and glucose unit per segment of amylopectin of 27.6, 26.8, 18.35 and 12.9 respectively. The results of X-ray diffraction studies showed A pattern for four starches.

To enhance the application of lotus roots and to provide basic data for processed foods with lotus roots, lotus root powder was processed under four different conditions, and their physicochemical properties were analyzed as follows. In the Hunter's color value results, the salted sample had the highest L value, and the vinegared sample had the highest a and b values. The water-holding capacities of the salted, vinegared, and blanched samples were higher than that of the control sample. The amylase contents were in the 19.57-20.43% range but were not significant. The swelling power and solubility of the processed samples increased as the temperature rose. The blanched sample had the highest swelling power and solubility (65 and $60^{\circ}C$, respectively). The crystallinity of the processed samples, as determined via X-ray diffraction, reached their peak at $16.9^{\circ}$, and the other peaks at 14.6, 22.2, and $23.8^{\circ}$ were typical of the B type. In addition, the relative crystallinity, gelatinization temperature, and enthalpy, as determined via DSC thermogram, were highest in the vinegared sample and lowest in the blanched sample. In the amylogram results, the vinegared sample had the highest maximum viscosity and breakdown. The retrogradation of the vinegared sample was the slowest as its setback value was the lowest.

Physicochemical properties of hydroxypropylated waxy rice starches were investigated to reduce steeping-time of yukwa (Korean oil-puffed rice snack) processing. Swelling power of hydroxypropylated waxy rice starch increased at relatively higher temperature $(60^{\circ}C)$ than native waxy rice starch $(70^{\circ}C)$. Solubility of hydroxypropylated waxy rice starches increased with increasing propylene oxide content. Pasting temperature $(66.3-66.9^{\circ}C)$ and peak viscosity (216-232 RVU) of hydroxypropylated waxy rice starch were higher than those of native starch (179 RVU) and increased with increasing propylene oxide content. DSC thermal transitions of hydroxypropylated waxy rice starches shifted toward higher temperature. Amylopectin melting enthalpy of hydroxypropylated waxy rice starch (8.4-9.2 J/g) was similar to native starch (9.0 J/g). X-ray diffraction patterns of native and hydroxypropylated waxy rice starches showed typical A-type pattern with no significant differences between them, suggesting hydroxypropylation only affected amorphous region. Results suggest hydroxypropylated waxy rice starch is not applicable for yukwa due to low puffing efficiency and dark color.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the physico-chemical effects of a potato starch and a purified potato starch under the condition of the microwave heating. They were exposed to the microwave energy in a 950 W, 2,450 MHz oven for 30 through 120 seconds. As the microwave heating time was increased, the contents of moisture and the crude fat of the samples were remarkably decreased irrespective of the starch composition, but on the other hand the contents of crude ash was slightly decreased and the crude protein was almost unchanged. The rings of crystallinity come to gradually changed in the X-ray diffraction pattern, and then the only 1 ring, of which interplanner spacing is wide, is changed strikingly. As the microwave heating time is increased, the starch granules which observed by a scanning electron microscope were broken partially with a special form, and the granules of purified potato starch were broken faster than those of potato starch. With the same condition that the microwave heating time was increased, while the gelatinization temperature comes to fall, the swelling power and the solubility were increased. Besides these, while the gelatinization temperature of the purified potato starch was lower than that of the potato starch, both the swelling power and the solubility of the purified potato starch is higher than those of the potato starch.

The focus of the current study was to investigate the physicochemical properties of a corn starch-sponge matrix prepared at a low concentration below gel forming by freeze-drying. The effect of variables(starch concentration, heating temperature, and heating hold time) on the physicochemical properties of the samples was analyzed by response-surface methodology. Regression models on the properties of samples such as hardness, springiness, and water solubility index(WSI) showed high correlation coefficients(r>0.95) and significant F values, but regression models for the other properties(swelling power, apparent viscosity, reducing sugar content, and digestibility) showed them to have relatively low significance. Sample hardness of sample showed the highest value at condition of $90^{\circ}C$ and 5%, whereas springiness was at a maximum at $130^{\circ}C$ and 5%. Also, at 1% of starch concentration, mechanical properties were greatly decreased as the relative humidity increased, compared with the 3% and 5%, especially in the hardness of samples. The WSI showed an increasing trend with heating temperature regardless of starch concentration. Overall, the physicochemical properties of freeze-dried corn starch-sponge matrix were influenced much more by starch concentration and heating temperature than by heating hold time. The results of this study show that the basic properties of freeze-dried corn starch-sponge matrix can be used for the specific food applications or as a functional material for its stability.
