Effects of RS4 type resistant corn starch on the quality characteristics of cookies were investigated by physicochemical, instrumental and sensory evaluation. The resistant starch was made by cross-linking of corn starch as following; corn starch slurry was annealed at pH 2.0 and $50^{\circ}C$ for 2 h followed by the cross-linking reaction. The cross-linking reaction was performed at $50^{\circ}C$ for 12 h in the presence of 1.2%/st.ds NaOH, 10%/st.ds sodium sulfate and 10%/st.ds of sodium trimetaphosphate (STMP)/sodium tripolyphosphate (STPP) mixture. Dietary fiber content of the resistant starch was estimated to be 73.8% by the AOAC method. For quality characteristics, dough pH decreased with the increase of the resistant starch content and spread factor decreased a little at 20% of the resistant starch. The moisture content and L value of cookies increased with the increase of the resistant starch content. However, the hardness and fracturability decreased with the increase of the resistant starch content. In the sensory evaluation, no significant differences were observed between the two cookies with or without the resistant starch. The results of this study suggest that the RS4 type resistant corn starch can be a good ingredient to increase dietary fiber content in cookies without changes of their qualities.

Physical properties were investigated in tangsuyuk batter containing different amounts of ingredients, such as wheat flour, corn starch, sodium bicarbonate, alum and water. For the response surface methodology (RSM) central composite design was used to determine the optimal ingredient ratios for viscosity, color properties(lightness, redness, yellowness, color differences) and cutting forces. There were significant differences(p<0.05) between the different batter mixtures. The lightness(L) of batter was in proportion to the increased amount of wheat flour and corn starch. Higher redness was recorded with increasing corn starch. Higher yellowness was observed with increasing wheat flour and sodium bicarbonate. Color differences were higher with increasing wheat flour, corn starch, and/or alum and decreasing water. Cutting forces were linearly increased with increasing sodium bicarbonate. From these results, it is possible to monitor the effects of ingredients on physical properties of tangsuyuk batter, and to predict their optimal ratios.

The effects of several carbohydrate sources on plasma, liver and fecal lipid contents of rats fed diet containing sucrose, corn starch, brown rice, milled rice or wheat flour with 0.3% cholesterol for four weeks were investigated. Plasma triglyceride and total cholestrol increased significntly in sucrose group, and decreased significantly in milled rice group compared to other three groups. There were no significant differences in plasma lipid contents among corn starch, brown rice and wheat flour groups. The contents of liver triglyceride and cholesterol in brown rice group decreased significantly compared to there four groups. Fecal excretion of total cholesterol in rice and wheat flour groups was significantly higher than in sucrose and corn starch groups. The contents of fecal bile acid increased significantly in milled rice and brown rice groups compared to other three groups. Fecal bile acid content of wheat flour group was similar to those of sucrose and corn starch group. From these results, it is suggested that rice has a possibility of hypolipidemic effect in cholesterol fed rat.

Corn starch was modified by the oxidation with sodium hypochlorite(NaOCl) and the changes in the distribution of molecular weight were examined. Corn starch was oxidized with 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1.0, and 1.5% active Cl/g of starch at pH 7.0 and 25$^{\circ}C$ for 10 min. Oxidation of corn starch caused a change in the molecular weight distribution of amylopectin. The fraction of highest molecular weight in native starch decreased gradually and the fraction of lower molecular weight increased with increasing oxidation. Also, λ$\sub$max/ and iodine binding capacities of oxidized starches decreased and the soluble carbohydrate content increased by oxidation. The differential scanning calorimetric results of oxidized starches showed that the temperature and enthalpies of gelatinization were not changed by oxidation; however, the more the starch was oxidized, the greater the extent of retrogradation.

This study investigated the quality characteristics of sponge cakes with addition of corn starch. The corn starch was added with 0 (control), 10, 20, 30, and $40\%$ substitution ratios by weight per wheat flour, followed by measuring physical and sensory characteristics of product during storage Periods. Batter specific gravity decreased with increasing substitution levels while viscosity increased. The volume tended to increase according to the addition of corn starch. As storage progresses, hardness and chewiness increased in all treatments. $30\%$ treatments showed lower values, compared to other treatments throughout the storage period. Adhesivness increased as the amount of corn starch increased. The results of sensory evaluation showed that the overall acceptability of sponge cakes containing $20\%\;and\;30\%$ corn starch were higher than that of control without corn starch. Therefore, it can be suggested that of corn starch $30\%$ added to tile sponge cake for the quality improvement and functional element.

This study was perfomed to search for how properties of the starch viscosity appear in different qualities, when acetic acid is added. For this study, corn starch which belongs to A-type. Potato starch to B-type. and sweet potato starch to C-type were chosen as an experimental material. which was added to acetic acid controlled as pH 4.0, 4.5, and 5.0 at the time of before and after heating. After that, the viscosity properties of each starch was analyzed using Amylogram and Brookfield viscometer. As a result. the viscosity was shown high in an order of potato. sweet potato, and corn starch. According to addition of acetic acid. tile viscosity appeared to be low. The viscosity differences of before and after heating when the acid is added were shown as follows : Amylogram shows that the lower the pH is. the lower the viscosity is when the acid is added before-heating. In case the acid is added before-heating, gelatinization temperature, consistency and setback was increased. but breakdown decreased. In case the acid is added after-heating, the viscosity goes down at soon as it is added meanwhile consistency and setback was decreased. but breakdown increased. Such properties of the viscosity show a conspicuous variation in an order of potato. sweet Potato. and corn starch. Brookrield viscometer shows that the lower the apparent viscosity is. the lower pH is at the time of before-heating when the acid is added. In case of after-heating, when the acid is added. the apparent viscosity shows a higher inclination than that of before-heating in corn starch and sweet potato starch.

The objective of this study was to examine the effects of processing methods of corn grains on protein and starch degradability in the rumen by three ruminally cannulated dry Holstein cows. The corns for these experiments were untreated; whole corn L(density; 660 g/$\ell$), whole corn H(density; 740 g/$\ell$), and treated by four different types: Ground corn, 3.8 mm, 2.8 mm, and 1.5 mm flaked corn. The results obtained were summarized as follows: For 48 hrs, the protein degradabilities were high in order, ground corn, 1.5 mm, 2.8 mm, and 3.8 mm flaked corn(82.6, 76.5, 64.5, and 33.9%, respectively). Flaked corn grains were degraded lower than ground corn. However, as increasing the processing degree of flaking, the protein degradabilities, from 4 hrs to 48 hrs, were increased. The starch degradabilities on 48 hrs were higher in 1.5 and 2.8 mm flaked corns, ground corn, 3.8 mm flaked corn(99.1, 91.5, 89.5, and 68.9%, respectively) than whole corn L(32.0%) and whole corn H(20.5%)(P<0.05). By increasing the processing degree of flaking, the protein degradabilty between 2.8 mm and 3.8 mm was increased significantly from 68.9% to 91.5%, however, that of 1.5 mm flaked corn, processed thinner, tended to be increased slightly, but was not significantly different. From 12 hrs to 24 hrs, whole corn L was degraded little more than whole corn H in starch, was not significantly different. However, after 48 hr incubation in the rumen, whole corn L was degraded more 50% than whole corn H(P<0.05). The value of degradation parameter “a” of protein was lower in all flaked corns than in ground corn. In contrast, the value of degradation parameter “a” of starch was significantly higher in all flaked corns than in ground corn(P<0.05). It seemed that by flaking the corn grains, starch particles were gelatinized, and then, starch was degraded more rapidly, while protein was degraded more slowly. Referring to these kinds of physical characteristics of grain sources in ruminal degradabilities, it is possible to synchronize the fermentation of nitrogen and carbohydrate sources, in formulating the cattle diets.

Rheological characteristics of starch isolated from germinated corn were investigated and compared with those of nongerminated corn starch. Flow behavior of both starches were Bingham psudoplastic. Consistency index and yield stress of germinated starch solution were lower than those of nongerminated starch solution, while flow behavior index was nearly similar. Concentration dependency of both starch solutions were similar to each other but lower temperature dependency of germinated starch solution was observed. Time dependent characteristics of both starches showed thixotropic behavior, but due to germination, germinated starch showed higher structural decay under shear than nongerminated starch and its elastic properties was weaker.

The effects of blending starches with different gelatinization temperatures on the development of ply-bond strength were systematically investigated using a three component mixture design technique. Oxidized corn starches with different gelatinization temperatures were blended with natural corn starch and sprayed for plybonding. Optimum blend ratio for maximizing plybond strength improvement for the starch blends was 40% of natural starch, 27% of oxidized starch with low gelatinization temperature and 33% of oxidized starch with high gelatinization temperature. Starch granules with the lowest gelatinization temperature gelatinizes at the lowest temperature, while the natural corn starch gelatinizes at later stage of drying. The improvement of plybond strength with starch blends were verified on machine trial as well. Plybond strength improvement obtained from the machine trial was lower than that achievable with handsheets, which was attributed to the lower internal bond strength of the linerboards made from recycled fibers.
