The sensory and instrumental characteristics of defatted and lipid-reintroduced kidney bean, mung bean and corn starch gels stored for 3 hrs and 24 hrs at room temperature were investigated. In sensory evaluation of starch gels, acceptability was highly correlated with hardness, bend property, cohesiveness and springiness. Mung bean starch gels showed sinigficantly highest value and followed by corn and kidney bean starch gels. Generally as for these factors, defatted starch gels were higher than untreated ones. The properties of defatted and lipid-reintroduced corn starch gels were similar to those of mung bean starch gels. In instrumental analysis, hardness was more important factor than any other ones. Hardness showed significantly higher value in the other of mung bean, corn and kidney bean starch gels, but it was highest in defatted starch gels among all treated gels. Hardness and springiness of defatted and lipid-reintroduced corn starch gels were similar to those of mung bean starch gels. Hardness of 24 hr stored starch gels increased more than that of 3 hr stored ones, but other textural factors did not change.

Studies were carried out to investigate formation of Mook and its physical properties as well as the effects of amylose and amylopectin on the texture of Mook which were made from cowpea, mung bean, acorn, buckwheat, kidney bean, potato, rice, corn and wheat starches. Texture parameters of 10% starch gels were significantly different depending on the kind of starches. However, there were no significant differences in those of gels of starches commonly used for the preparation of mook. It was appeared that gel indices of cowpea, mung bean, acorn and buckwheat starch gels were in the range of 2.11-2.37, elastic limits were more than 0.60, gel strength coefficients were in the range of 700-1400 and brittlnesses were 0.23-0.62. It was also appeared that gel index and elastic limit were affected by amylopectin and gel strength coefficient and brittleness, by amylose, and that these two fractions were not able to form gel like Mook unless they were combined with proper proportion. Effect of addition of amylose from cereal and potato starches to cowpea starch or cowpea amylopectin were different from that of cowpea amylose. When cereal starches were supplemented by cowpea starches, gel strength coefficients and brittlenesses of their gels were increased, but gel indices and elastic limits were not changed. However, potato starch gel was improved to be similar to Mook with increasing of gel strength coefficient and appearance of brittleness by addition of cowpea amylose.

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 defatting on sensory and instrumental characteristics of corn and mung bean starch gels during storage were investigated. The untreated and defatted starch gels stored at room temperature for 24 hrs and 72 hrs. The sensory characteristics of defatted corn starch gels were significantly different from untreated ones but the properties of defatted corn starch gels were similar to those of mung bean ones. Mung bean starch gels showed no changes in sensory characteristics by defatting. In the case of instrumental properties, there was highly significant in all characteristics between corn starch gels and mung bean starch gels, but firmness in defatted corn starch gel was similar as in mung bean starch gels.

Sensory and instrumental characteristics of mixed starch gels of defatted corn starch and mung bean starch were examined in terms of the effects of various additives such as textured soy protein(TSP), soybean oil(S0), carboxymethyl cellulose(CMC) and pectin(PC). Gels were prepared by storing the paste at room temperature for 24 hrs and 72 hrs. The additives were used 1% or 2% on the starch basis. The ratio of defatted corn starch and mung bean starch was selected 60 : 40(to, w/w), where the acceptability was the highest. The cohesiveness and springiness of the mixed starch gels stored 24 hrs increased, but the brittleness and acceptability decreased with all the additives. Textural characteristics of the mixed gels stored 72 hrs were different according to the type and content of additives, whereas hardness and cohesiveness increased in all case. Unlike the sensory evaluation, the textural properties of mixed gels tested by a Instron Universal Testing Machine showed no difference in hardness, but the cohesiveness and springiness increased.

Changes in the rheological properties and the linear viscoelasticity of fish protein gel upon the thermal processing were studied by using mathematical models with stress-relaxation data. The linear viscoelasticity of surimi gel was observed in the range of the true strain $0.105{\sim}0.693$ and cross-head speed $50{\sim}250\;mm/min$ applied in this study. The results of the generalized Maxwell analysis showed that the magnitudes of elastic elements $(E,\;E_e)$ were increased, but the viscous element $({\eta}) $was decreased, as the cross-head speeds and strain levels were increased. Compared to the protein gel heated directly at $90^{\circ}C$ without preheating, the protein gel pretreated at $4^{\circ}C$ and $40^{\circ}C$ showed the higher elastic modulus, but showed different trends in the viscous component, depending on the rheological model applied. Thus, the approaching methods and curve fitting of two mathematical models of stress-relaxation to describe the viscoelastic properties of fish protein gel were discussed.

Fibroin is an insoluble structural protein from Bombyx mori. It can be solubilized by dissolving in a hot $CaCl_2$ solution and subsequent dialysis. The aqueous solution is unstable and a transition from aqueous fibroin molecules rich in random coil is undergo to one rich in $\beta$-sheet content, resulting in hydrogelation. However, fibroin gel is so fragile and plastic that its mechanical property should be reformed for various applications. In this report, a semi-solid form of fibroin gel was prepared using glycerol and ethanol and was investigated to analyze their flow properties. A fibroin gel with 80% glycerol showed pseudoplastic and thixotropic properties. The square root of its yield stress varied linearly with fibroin concentration and it extrapolated to zero shear stress at 0.2% fibroin. A fibroin gel with 40% ethanol was shown to be highly thixotropic but its shear-thinning behavior was only observed above a certain level of shear rate. Its pseudoplasticity was restored by a high rate of shear stress.

Gel polymer electrolyte membranes were prepared from blends of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and poly (acrylic acid) (PAA), by solution-cast technique. The PAA content in the blend varied from 30 to 80 wt%. With the gel polymer electrolyte membranes, Zn air batteries were fabricated. The gel polymer electrolyte membranes were characterized by means of stress-strain test, impedance test. The Zn air batteries were tested by current interrupt method and galvanostatic discharge method. The tensile strength and tensile modulus decreased with increasing PAA content in the gel polymer electrolyte membrane. On the other hand, the ionic conductivity increased with increasing PAA content. The effect of ionic conductivity trend of the gel polymer electrolyte membrane in the Zn air battery was confirmed through current interrupt method and galvanostatic discharge method experiments. The battery with higher PAA content gel polymer electrolyte membrane showed lower IR drop and higher discharge capacity.
