Rheological properties of Tongjinbyeo(Japonica) and Samgangbyeo($J{\times}Indica$) rice starches gelatinized with thermal or alkali solutions were investigated with rotational viscometer(Brabender Viscotron). The two starches showed Bingham pseudoplastics behavior in $4{\sim}8%$ thermal or alkali gelatinized starch solutions. Rheological properties of thermal gelatinized starch solutions were similar between the two varieties. However, alkali gelatinized Samgangbyeo starch solutions showed higher values of yield stress and consistency index than that of Tongjinbyeo starch. The values of pseudoplasticity, yield stress and consistency index were higher in the thermal gelatinized samples than those of in the alkali gelatinized ones.
