Corn starch was extruded under relatively low shear, high moisture, and low temperature. Puffing of corn starch dough was induced by injecting $CO_2$gas in the range from 0MPa to 0.09MPa. Piece density and compressive modulus for puffed corn starch were decreased by increasing the injection pressure to 0.07MPa, and increased above 0.07MPa. the microstructure of corn starch puffed with $CO_2$gas showed thick cell size, compared with those puffed with steam. RVA paste viscosity curves of corn starch puffed with $CO_2$had different patterns from those puffed with steam, probably resulted from partial gelatinization of starch. Water absorption and solubility were not significantly changed by $CO_2$injection pressure, but the average degree of polymerization was reduced by higher $CO_2$injection. The water absorption, water solubility, and the average degree of polymerization for corn starch puffed with $CO_2$were significantly lower than those puffed with steam.

Physicochemical properties of starch vermicelli (Dangmyun) made with different starches in laboratory were determined to develop a modified corn starch comparable to sweet potato starch which is highly expensive than corn starch but commonly used for starch vermicelli in Korea. Initial temperatures (Ti) of gelatinization of starch vermicelli made in laboratory measured by differential scanning calorimeter, which were above $60^{\circ}C$, were higher than those of starch vermicelli in the market. Their X-ray diffraction peaks were relatively sharp compared with those of starch vermicelli in the market, which showed that starches were not completely gelatinized during the process of starch vermicelli preparation in laboratory. Initial temperature (Ti) of corn starch vermicelli was decreased by $3^{\circ}C$ by hydroxypropylation but increased by $2.5^{\circ}C$ by oxidation. Hardness and compression slope of sweet potato starch vermicelli and mungbean starch vermicelli, which were $11,726{\sim}12,555\;g/cm^2$ and $29,914{\sim}30,604\;g/cm^2$, respectively, were the highest in the samples and those of waxy corn starch were lowest. Hardness and compression slope of starch vermicelli made with corn starch slightly oxidized in the concentration of 0.5% NaOCl at pH 9.0, $40^{\circ}C$ for 30 min. increased and found to be comparable to those of sweet potato starch vermicelli.

In this study, we investigated whether there is another amaranth GBSS isoform in an attempt to characterize the synthesis of amylose in the pericarp. We used I2/KI staining to analyze the temporal and spatial starch accumulation patterns during seed development. The spatiotemporal starch accumulation patterns in developing seeds were observed by staining with I2/KI. Starch granules were observed in the pericarp in the initial developmental stage (3 DAP). A few starch granules were detected in the perisperm in the early-late developmental stage (8 DAP), during which the pericarp starch contents rapidly decreased. Starch granules were distributed throughout the perisperm in the mid-late developmental stage (15 DAP). Similar results were reported for other cereal crops, including barley, rice, and sorghum. Starch granules in the pericarp are synthesized during the early seed developmental stages but are absent in mature seeds. We recently reported that starch deposits in the perisperm of developing amaranth seeds are detectable only after the initial developmental stage. Prior to this stage, the pericarp is the major site of starch deposition. A recent study suggested that GBSSII isoforms are responsible for amylose synthesis in pericarps.

A curd yogurt was prepared from milk added with skim milk powder or four kinds of starch such as rice starch, wheat starch, corn starch and potato starch. The effects of starch addition at 2%(w/v) level on acid production by lactic acid bacteria in milk was investigated. The effects of starch addition on quality of curd yogurt in terms of apparent viscosity, sensory property and volatile aroma compounds were also examined. Addition of starch markedly stimulated the acid production by lactic acid bacteria. Among four organisms tested, Lactobacillus jugurti produced the highest amount of acid. Apparent viscosity of curd yogurt added with starch was significantly higher than that of control. Curd yogurt fermented with L. jugurti showed pseudoplastic and thixotropic characteristics. Sensory property of curd yogurt added with corn starch or rice starch was evaluated as slightly better than reference sample, but that with potato starch was evaluated as the worst among all samples. Acetaldehyde, acetone, ethanol and butanol were detected by gas chromatographic analysis.

Starch dissolved in paper-mill wastes, either as a result of poor retention on the paper web or recycling of surface-treated broke, was a major pollutant Laboratory tests were performed by using different kinds of starch as a surface treatment. It was concluded that the use of cationic starch can positively affect the level of starch dissolved in liquid effluents. When cationically modified starches were used for surface sizing, the starch was tightly bound to the paper fibers, it was not removed during the repulping of broke. The result of mill trial in fine paper manufacture for the application of low-viscosity cationic starches used in size press reduced COD load in the effluents and increased One Pass Retention. It had been found that when cationic starch used as a surface sizing agent, more starch was retained on or near the surface of the sheet than with conventional oxidized starches. Thus surface strengths and quality were improved. In addition it is possible to maintain the desired level of starch penetration into the fiber net and improve porosity, opacity and brightness. In contrast, in most cases, dusting problems are notably eliminated. Cationic surface sized starch improved black and color ink-jet print quality in terms of feathering and optical density of the print image. These improved properties were believed to be due to a combination of fiber bonding and surface orientation more uniform starch concentration on the paper surface was resulted. Moreover cationic charges in the paper surface lend themselves excellently to fix ink jet ink anionic in nature.

Apios (Apios americana Medikus) belongs to Leguminosae and is called 'American groundnut', 'Potato bean', and 'wild bean'. Apios is native to the Northern United States but is not widely distributed in Korea. In this study, cross-linked apios starch was prepared by reaction with epichlorohydrin, followed by characterization. FT-IR spectroscopy confirmed the degree of cross-linking of apios starch. X-ray diffraction patterns of native apios showed typical 'A' type as peaks at 15.1, 17.1, 17.9 and $23.2^{\circ}$, and cross-linking did not affect relative crystallinity and X-ray diffraction patterns of the starch. Scanning electron micrographs showed that apios starch granules were smooth with a globular shape, and there was little damage to starch granules after cross-linking. The lightness value of cross-linked apios starch was lower than that of native apios starch, whereas the redness value was not significantly different between cross-linked apios starch and native apios starch. Blue value showed that cross-linking of starch did not affect the iodine reaction of starch.

Ruminants possess the capacity to digest very large amounts of starch. However, in many cases diets approach 60% starch and even small inefficiencies present opportunities for energetic losses. Ruminal starch digestion is typically 75-80% of starch intake. On average, 35-60% of starch entering the small intestine is degraded. Of the fraction that escapes small-intestinal digestion, 35-50% is degraded in the large intestine. The low digestibility in the large intestine and the inability to reclaim microbial cells imposes a large toll on post-ruminal digestive efficiency. Therefore, digestibility in the small intestine must be optimized. The process of starch assimilation in the ruminant is complex and remains an avenue by which increases in production efficiency can be gained. A more thorough description of these processes is needed before we can accurately predict digestion occurring in the small intestine and formulate diets to optimize site of starch digestion.

Physicochemical properties on defatted potato starches, Irish Cobbler and Dejima, were investigated. The average diameter of the Irish Cobbler and Dejima starch were $22.5-29.8\mu\textrm{m}$, and both the starches had birefringence. Irish Cobbler starch was lower than that of Dejima starch in water binding capacity, swelling power and solubility. Relative crystallinity of both the starches was decreased after defatted. The blue value of Irich Cobbvler and Dejima starch was measured 0.37 and 0.35 respectively Transmittnace of 0.1% starch suspensions was higher on defatted starch than on untreated starch. Differential Scanning Calorimetry of untreated potato starch showeed higher gelatinization temperature in Irish Cobbler starch than in Dejiam starch. The gelatinization enthalpy of untreated starch was higher in Irisch Cobbler starch than in Dejima starch, but, after defatted, it was decreased.

This study examines the cooking quality, rheology, and sensory characteristics of ramyon noodles made from Korean wheat and arrowroot starch. The control was made from Australian standard wheat(ASW) and the sample was made from Korean wheat. The ratios of arrowwood starch in the sample group were 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, and 30% respectively, and the result was as follows: the yield of the arrowwood starch was 18.8% and moisture level was 14.2%. The lightness(L), redness(a), and yellowness(b) of ASW were 92.07, 1.44, 10.22 respectively, whereas those of Korean wheat were 92.05, 1.55, 11.01, which means the two kinds of wheat showed very little difference in lightness, but Korean wheat had higher degrees of a and b than ASW. The color value of arrowroot starch is L 72.65, a 3.44, b 12.92, so it has a lower degree of lightness and higher degrees of a and b than two kinds of wheat. Dried ramyon displayed a lower degree of lightness and higher degrees of a and b than cooked ramyon, but the first decreased and a increased as we increased the ratio of arrowroot starch in it. The weight of dried ramyon did not show a significant difference among the groups. On the other hand, the weight, volume, water absorption, and the turbidity of cooked ramyon increased as we increased the amount of arrowroot starch in it. The maximum weight, solidity, and elasticity of the control group were greater than those of ramyon made from Korean wheat, but its brittleness was lower. The two groups showed the same degrees of hardness, adhesiveness, and cohesiveness. The maximum weight, solidity, and adhesiveness of the control group increased as we increased the amount of arrowroot starch in it, and the hardness and brittleness were great when the ratio of arrowroot starch was 20%; elasticity was greatest when the ratio of arrowroot starch was 15, 20, and 25%; its adhesiveness and cohesiveness did not depend on the amount of arrowroot starch in it. In the sensory characteristics evaluation, the items that showed significant differences include: appearance (p<0.01), color(p<0.01), smell(p<0.001), transparency(p<0.05), and overall acceptability(p<0.05). The ramyon earned the highest score in appearance when the ratios of arrowroot starch were 5%, 15%, and 20%. As for color and smell, it earned the highest score when it contained 20 and 25% of arrowroot starch. The transparency decreased as we increased the amount of arrowroot starch, and overall acceptability was highest when the ratio of arrowroot starch was 15%. There was a significant difference in overall acceptability between the control and the sample group. As for the loosing speed and chewiness, there was no significant difference between the two groups. When we look at the result of various tests to evaluate the cooking quality, rheology, and sensory characteristics of ramyon noodles, ramyons that contained 15 to 25% of arrowroot starch earned the high scores, and of these the one with 20% of arrowroot starch earned the highest score on all accounts.

The acrylic monomers were graft-polymerized to starch as matrix polymer by emulsion polymerization. Viscosity and particle size of the emulsion were increased with starch contents due to interaction with water and particle swelling toward the water phase by hydroxy group of starch. Chemical stability of the emulsion was also increased with enhancement of starch, but water and alkali resistance were reduced with increasing starch contents because of the increasement of hyrophilicity. Opacity of the starch-acrylic emulsion compound containing calcium carbonate was decreased with contents of starch by its intrinsic color. The film of starch-acrylic polymer showed more clear appearance with increasing starch contents owing to enhancement of amorphous state.
