Relation between amylose and physical properties of milled rice was investigated. Amylose content was negatively and positively correlated with chalkiness and alkali solubility, respectively. No correlation was observed between amylose content and water uptake rate, cooked rice hardness or relative crystallinity. Relative crystallinity of the starch was negatively correlated with alkali solubility and water uptake rate.

Physicochemical properties of chestnut starch, which was adjusted at 14, 18, 21 and 24% moisture and heated for 16 hr at $100^{\circ}C$, were investigated. The cystallinity, swelling power and solubility of the starch were decreased upon heat-moisture treatments. The swelling power of the heat-moisture treated starch showed an inverse relation with moisture levels, while the solubility showed opposite trend. The swelling power and the solubility of both raw and heat-moisture treated starches held a liner relationship. The. water binding capacity of the starch was drastically increased upon heat-moisture treatments. Amylograms revealed that the heat-moisture treated starches had higher initial pasting temperature and lower viscosity than untreated starch. No peak viscosity was observed for the heat treated starches above 21% moisture. The minimum moisture contents for gelatinization of raw and heat-moisture (18%) treated starches were 45 and 40%, respectively. The gelatinization temperature of raw and heat-moisture (18%) treated starches was $65^{\circ}C$.

The purpose of this study was to develop the production technology of modified starch. Corn starches were gamma irradiated at 0-110 kGy and the effect of irradiation dose levels on the physicochemical properties of corn starches were investigated. Blue value linearly decreased, while alkali number and solubility markedly increased as irradiation dose levels were increased. The optical transmittance increased as applied irradiation dose levels were increased in the temperature range of $65-95^{\circ}C.$ Water binding capacity and swelling power showed maximum value at 30 and 10 kGy, respectively and they tended to decrease thereafter. Gelatinization viscosity of the gamma irradiated starch considerably decreased as compared to that of the non-irradiated starch. Irradiation at 110kGy resulted in a marked reduction of peak viscosity and cooling viscosity at $30^{\circ}C$ by 100 and 300 times, respectively. The physicochemical properties of corn starch irradiated at 30 kGy were similar to those of commercial acid-modified starch, while those of corn starch irradiated at 100 kGy were similar to those if oxidized starch.

In this study, we investigated the thermal properties of corn-starch filled polybutylene succinate-adipate (PBS-AD) bio-composites. Thermal analysis (TA) is used to describe the analytical method for measuring the chemical property and weight loss of composite materials as a function of temperature. The thermal stability of corn-starch was lower than that of pure PBS-AD. As corn-starch loading increased, the thermal stability and degradation temperature of the bio-composites decreased and the ash content increased. It can be seen that the degree of compatibility and interfacial adhesion of the bio-composites decreased because of the increasing mixing ratio of the corn-starch. As the content of corn-starch increased, there was no significant change in the glass transition temperature (T_g) and the melting temperature (T_m) for the bio-composites. The storage modulus (E') and loss modulus (E") of the corn-starch flour filled PBS-AD bio-composites were higher than those of PBS-AD, because of the incorporation of corn-starch increased the stiffness of the bio-composites. At higher temperatures, the decreased storage modulus (E') of bio-composites was due to the increased polymer chain mobility of the matrix polymer. From these results, we can expect that corn-starch has potential as a reinforcing filler for bio-composites. Furthermore, we recommend using a coupling agent to improve the interfacial adhesion between corn-starch and biodegradable polymer.

Physicochemical properties on heat-moisture treatment of sweet potato starch were investigated. Starch granules of sweet potato observed by photomicroscope, polarized-light microscope and scanning electron microscope were round and polygonal. X-ray diffraction pattern was changed from Ca-pattern to A-pattern upon heat-moisture treatment. Water binding capacity was drastically increased as the moisture level was increased. The swelling power and solubility at the same temperature were decreased by heat-moisture treatment. Transmittance of 0.1% starch suspensions was increased rapidly from $65^{\circ}C$ in case of untreated starch and from $70^{\circ}C$ in case of treated starch. The starch on heat-moisture treatment was gelatinized over higher temperature range than the untreated starch.

Physicochemical properties of rice starches from Paldal(japonica type) and Tongil(indica type) were investigated. There were no significant differences in water-binding capacity, blue value and amylose content between the two starches. Paldal starch showed a higher value for-swelling power than Tongil starch. Amylograph data showed that both Paldal and Tongil starches had similar paste viscosities except setback in which Tongil starch showed a higher value. No significant differences were observed for intrinsic viscosity and glucose units per segment between Paldal and Tongil amylopectin fractions. However, the intrinsic viscosity for Tongil amylose was considerably higher than Paldal amylose. The rate of retrogradation of Tongil starch gels at $21^{\circ}C$ was faster than Paldal starch gels.

The effects of alum un the physicochemical properties of non-waxy and waxy rice starches were investigated. The swelling powers of non-waxy and waxy rice starches with $0.05{\sim}1.0%(w/w)$ alum were increased remarkably in comparison with rice starches without alum, but those of rice starches with alum above 1.0%(w/w) concentration were decreased slowly with the increasing amount of alum. While solubility of the non-waxy starch with $0.05{\sim}1.0%(w/w)$ alum was elevated gradually with the increasing temperature. that of the waxy starch was decreased regardless temperature. But solubilities of both rice starches with alum concentration above 1.0%(w/w) exhibited no significant changes. The more alum in the system, the higher and the lower blue value were resulted in non-waxy rice starch and waxy rice starch, respectively. From amylograms, it was found that alum increased breakdown and initial pasting temperatures for both rice starches, but reduced setback.

Cowpea starch which is the main ingredient of Mook(Korean starch gel) was isolated from cowpea and characterized by physico-chemical methods. Gelatinization properties were investigated by using Brabender amylograph. Starch granules were oval-shape and their size range was $5\;-\;25{\mu}m$. Crystalline type observed by X-ray deffraction was C-type. Apparent amylose content was 20.7%, Amylose and amylopectin fractionated from cowpea starch appeared to have vlue value of 0.55 and 0.089, and ${\beta}-amylolysis$ limit of 79.1 and 71.9%, respectively. Brabender amylograph data showed that initial gelatinization temperature of cowpea starch was $75^{\circ}C$. Also, hot and cooled paste viscosity of 8% starch paste were higher than that of 6% paste by more than twice, breakcown value of two different concentration were almost same. However, in the gelation stage, consistancy and setback of 8% starch paste appeared more than 5 times of those of 6% paste.

Physicochemical properties of starches from the rices of Akibare, Samgang and Mahatma and hardness of the cooked rice were examined Water binding capacity and amylose content were heigher in Samgang. Peak viscosity and breakdown were heigher in order of Akibare, Samgang and Mahatma, while consistency and set back were reverse order. Hydrolytic patterns of three starches with 2.2N HCl at $35^{\circ}C$ showed two distinct stages. Hydrolysis extent of Mahatma starch was lower than those of Akibare and Samgang starches. The relative crystallinities of these starches were heigher in order of Mahatma, Akibare and Samgang. Mahatma was more resistant to heat and acid treatments, lower in water binding capacity and harder when it was cooked.

감자전분의 수분함량에 따라 가열하는 동안 전분의 점탄성 성질의 변화를 조사한 결과 전분의 농도가 증가할수록 더 높은 storage modulus (G#)와 loss modulus (G@) 값을 보여주었으며, 호화개시온도 및 호화최대값을 나타내는 온도는 전분농도에 따라 낮은 온도로의 이전을 보여주었다. 20%의 감자전분과 옥수수전분을 비교한 결과, 옥수수전분은 $68^{\circ}C$, 감자전분은 $60^{\circ}C$에서의 호화개시온도를 나타내었으나, G#와 G@값은 옥수수전분이 높게 나타났고 이와 같이 서로 다른 호화개시온도, 호화정도 및 그 최대값을 나타내는 온도변화는 아밀로즈/아밀로팩틴의 함량과 전분 입자의 크기에 따른 것으로 여겨진다. 감자와 옥수수 전분을 각각 3%씩 첨가하여 만든 생선단백질 젤의 파손강도를 측정한 결과 전분들을 첨가한 단백질 젤이 무첨가한 젤보다 더 강하게 나타났으며, 옥수수 전분의 첨가가 감자전분 첨가보다 더 강한 젤의 강도를 나타내었다 혼합비를 달리 첨가하여 만든 겔을 응력완화현상을 측정한 결과 감자 및 옥수수 전분을 첨가한 경우는 초기순간응력, 평형응력 뿐만 아니라 전체적인 응력의 증가현상이 일어났으나 3요소 일반화된 Maxwell 모형으로 분석한 결과는 감자 전분과 옥수수전분에 의한 탄성을 (elastic modulus) 상승효과는 첨가농도의 의존성을 보여 주었다.
