Gelatinization behaviour and gel properties of corn starch modified either by hydroxypropylation only or by cross-linking and hydroxypropylation were investigated. Gelatinization temperature of corn starch decreased greatly by hydroxypropylation, but increased slightly by cross-linking with epichlorohydrin. The treatment of both hydroxypropylation and cross-linking lowered the gelatinization temperature, although it was not significantly different from that of hydroxypropylated corn starch. The swelling power of the corn starch was reduced and gel strength was increased by both modifications. The results suggested that the gelatinization behaviour and gel properties of corn starch could be improved by both cross-linking and hydroxypropylation.

This study was designed to examine changes in the physicochemical properties of extruded corn fibers with different amounts of feed moisture (30, 40, and 50%). The screw speed and die temperature were fixed to 200 rpm and $140^{\circ}C$, respectively. The crude ash, fat, and protein in corn fiber decreased from the extrusion process. The insoluble dietary fiber in corn fibers decreased, while soluble dietary fiber increased at a feed moisture of 30%. The specific length of the extruded corn fiber increased while the specific mechanical energy input, density, breaking strength, and elastic modulus decreased. The water absorption index (WAI) and reducing sugar content of the corn fibers did not significantly change, but the water soluble index (WSI) decreased as the feed moisture content of the corn fiber increased. On the other hand, the WAI of de-starched corn fiber decreased while WSI and reducing sugars increased as the feed moisture content of the corn fiber increased.

In this study, we examined the characteristics of alkali gelatinization of corn starch. Here, the degree of corn starch gelatinization increased exponentially with the NaOH concentration of the starch slurry. The alkali gelatinization initiation point (AGIP) was obtained from the intersection point of gelatinization slope line, which resulted from the regression of the logarithmic degree of gelatinization, and was markedly changed. The effects of temperature and corn starch concentration on alkali gelatinization were studied with a 10%(w/w) corn starch suspension. We found that this corn starch suspension gelatinized in 24.1 meq/g starch of NaOH at $40^{\circ}C$, and in 9.8 meq NaOH/g starch at $60^{\circ}C$. Moreover, a 40%(w/w) corn starch suspension gelatinized with 9.5 meq NaOH/g starch, even at $40^{\circ}C$. These results indicate that the amount of alkali added for the gelatinization of corn starch has an inverse relationship with the temperature and concentration of corn starch.

For the use of starch gel like Mook(a Korean traditional gel food), the physicochemical properties and gelatinization patterns of defatted high amylose corn starch were investigated. The crude and total lipid contents of starch decreased by defatting from 0.07%, 0.92% to 0.03%, 0.19%, respectively. But iodine affinity increased from 51.6% to 71.3%. Water binding capacity of starches increased from 104.6% to 117.3% after defatting. Soluble carbohydrate and leached amylose of untreated and defatted starches were increased rapidly above $110^{\circ}C$. The apparent viscosity of starch dispersion using alkali solution increased above 0.3N NaOH solution but the transmittance increased above 0.4 N NaOH. The DSC thermograms of both starches showed broad and double endotherm with relatively low enthalpy, but the second peak of endotherm was larger in defatted starch than in untreated starch.

The granular size and shape of durian seed starch were $2.0-10.0\;{\mu}m$ and oval and polygonal. Amylose contents of durian seed, corn, sweet potato and potato starch were 28.3%, 27.5%, 20.3% and 21.7%, respectively. Blue value of durian seed (0.370) higher than that of corn (0.368), sweet potato (0.332), and potato starch (0.338). Alkali numbers of durian seed, corn, sweet potato and potato starch were 7.39, 9.02, 7.08 and 5.43, respectively. Swelling power of durian seed starch was similar to that of sweet potato starch. X-ray diffraction patterns of durian seed starch showed an A-type crystalline structure. According to pasting properties by Rapid Visco-Analyzer, the gelatinization temperature of durian seed starch $(76.6^{circ}C)$ was higher than that of corn $(73.0^{circ}C)$, sweet potato $(72.3^{circ}C)$ and potato starch $(70.2^{circ}C)$. The breakdown of durian seed starch were lower than that of corn, sweet potato and potato starch.

Effects of addition of various additives, sucrose fatty acid ester 1170 (SE), carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and soy bean oil (SO) on textural characteristics for untreated and defatted corn and mung bean starch gels stored at room temperature for 24 hrs and 72 hrs were studied. In sensory and instrumental characteristics of starch gels with additives (0.5% for starch basis), the acceptability was highly correlated with cohesiveness and bend property of starch gels stored 24 hrs and springiness, cohesiveness, color, smoothness, bend property, hardness and clarity of starch gels stored 72 hrs. Regardless of adding additives, textural characteristics of defatted corn starch gels showed somewhat higher values than that of com starch gels. The acceptability of starch gels with additives was somewhat lowered in all the cases, which showed highly correlated in cohesiveness for 24 hrs and springiness for 72 hrs. Instrumental characteristics were similar to those of sensory evaluation, which showed no significant difference with additives.

The effects of high pressure homogenization (microfluidization) on physicochemical properties of normal maize and oxidized maize starch film were studied. The molecular dispersibility of amlyose and amylopectin and the disintegration of granular structure had a marked effect on the physicochemical properties of starch films. The high pressure homogenized starch films showed increased solubility and transmittance due to the absence of gelatinized starch granules. The tensile strength of starch film increased significantly with decreasing oxygen permeability after high pressure homogenization, indicating that starch molecules were more uniformly and fully dispersed during the film formation. As a result, a clear starch film with improved mechanical properties was obtained after high pressure homogenization due to the increased interactions between the uniformly dispersed starch molecules.
