Abstract

Physicochemical properties of waxy maize starch and oxidized waxy maize starch with sodium hypochlorite $(0{\sim}60\;mg\;CL_2/g\;starch,40^{\circ}C,\;pH\;10,\;3.0\;hr)$ were studied. As sodium hypochlorite concentration was increased, the content of crude lipid and crude protein of the oxidized starch were decreased. And crude protein content and whiteness was considered to show negative regression. However, the crude ash content of the oxidized starch increased significantly with oxidation and bore a positive regression to the chlorine content. There was a progressive increase in the carboxyl content with increasing oxidant level. After pasting in hot water and cooling, viscosity of the oxidized starches were drastically lower than that of native starch . As carboxyl contents of the oxidized starch increased, the solubility and swelling power was increased. When waxy maize starch treated with 0, 1.5, 3.0 and 6.0% sodium hypochlorite, temperature of initial gelatinization of oxidized starch was shown to 65, 65, 60 and $50^{\circ}C$, respectively. The oxidized waxy maize starches also form clearer pastes. Water binding capacity of the oxidized starch decreased as the degree of carboxyl group substitution increased. Waxy maize starch has polygonal and some round granules which range from about 3.7 to $20\;{\mu}m$ in diameter. Surface appearance of the waxy maize starch became rough when oxidized with sodium hypochlorite. When homogenate of the oxidized waxy maize starch solution and corn germ oil was stored under room temperature for 24 hours, the emulsion stability was considered to depend on starch concentration and degree of substitution.

찰옥수수 전분을 차아염소산 나트륨$(0{\sim}60{\;}mg/s{\;}starch)$과 반응시켜 제조한 찰옥수수 산화전분의 이화학적 특성 및 유화 안정성에 미치는 영향에 대하여 연구하였다. 찰옥수수 산화전분의 일반성분 중 조지방질 및 조단백질 함량은 차아염소산 나트륨 처리량의 증가에 따라 감소하여 조단백질 함량과 백색도와 부의 상관관계$(R^2=0.9847)$를 나타내었고 조회분 함량은 증가하여 염소 함량과정의 상관관계$(R^2=0.9693)$를 나타내었다. 산화전분의 카르복시기 함량은 활성염소 첨가 농도에 비례하여 증가하였다. 호화액의 점도는 차아염소산 나트륨 처리량에 따라 현저히 감소하였고, 용해도와 팽윤력은 산화도가 높을 수록 증가하었으며, 광투과도는 치환도가 증가할 수록 낮은 온도에서 높은 투과도를 나타내어 화화개시온도가 약 $15^{\circ}C$낮아졌고, 호화액의 투명도 또한 개선되었다. 물결합능력은 치환도가 증가할 수록 생성된 카르복시기로 인하여 감소하였다. 찰옥수수 전분의 입자는 다각형과 원형의 혼합물로 크기는 $3.7{\sim}20\;{\mu}m$였으며, 차아염소산 나트륨 처리량이 증가할 수록 전분 표면이 거칠어졌다. 찰옥수수 산화전분과 옥배유를 균질화하여 저장하는 동안 유화액은 산화전분의 치환도가 높을 수록 전분의 농도가 증가할 수록 유화 안정성이 증가하였다.
