The grain and agronomic characteristics of Korean barley cultivars were investigated with respect to ethanol yield. Test weight, grain yield, and starch yield showed noticeable variation among the cultivars. Grain yields were higher in covered barley and non-waxy barley. Starch yield was higher in non-waxy barley than waxy barley. Protein, ${\beta}$-glucan, and starch content of tested cultivars ranged in 10.0-12.9%, 4.4-7.5% and 49.7-65.3%, respectively. Naked barley cultivar had higher starch content than covered barley cultivar. However, covered barley had high starch yield because it has higher grain yield than naked barley. Covered barley cultivar had higher husk content, ranging 7.6-14.0%, than that of naked barley cultivar, ranging 5.3-8.0%. Starch content was positively correlated with amylose content, test weight, ethanol yield and negatively correlated with protein, husk, ${\beta}$-glucan content. Ethanol yield per ton was positively correlated with starch content, but negatively correlated with husk content. Ethanol yield per hectare was positively correlated with starch yield, grain yield, grain weight and negatively correlated with protein, test weight. From this research, the important characteristics of barley cultivar as a bioethanol producing material were starch content and grain yield. Optimum barley genotype was non-waxy naked barley that had low protein, ${\beta}$-glucan, husk content, and high starch content and grain yield.

In order to develop the techniques for isolation and production of barley starch from Youngsan variety, optimum conditions of isolation processes of barley starch was investigated. The effect of steeping temperature and time in wet-milling process was examined and the results showed that optimal steeping temperature and time were 30$^{\circ}C$ and 12 hr. The barley starch isolated under these conditions contained 5.7% crude protein, 69% starch content and 83% white value by 100 mesh process. The optimum condition of alkali treatment was showed that concentration of NaOH and treating time were 0.2% and 6 hr, respectively. To remove the fat content of barley starch, after alkali process obtained barley starch with the addition of 10% (v/v) EtOH was attempted. As the result, the barley starch contained 0.1% of crude fat. Under the optimized isolation conditions, the barley starch finally contained 0.1% protein and 95% starch content. The isolated barley starch were superior to commercial corn starch in purity and white value.

Physicochemical properties of waxy and non-waxy naked barley starches were investigated. The starch granules observed by photomicroscope, polarized-light microscope and scanning electron microscope were round. The starch showed a typical A type by X-ray diffraction pattern. Water binding capacity, swelling power and solubility of waxy naked barley starch were higher than non-waxy naked barley starch at the same temperature. Transmittance of 0.1% starch suspension was increased rapidly from $60^{\circ}C$ in case of waxy naked barley starch and from $65^{\circ}C$ in case of non-waxy naked barley starch. Amylogram revealed that the non-waxy naked barley starches had higher initial pasting temperature than waxy naked barley starch. Enthalpy for gelatinization of non-waxy and waxy naked barley starches were 1.12-1.58 and 0.85 cal/g, respectively.

The study was carried out to determine the gel pasting properties of barley (Hordeum vulgare L. cv. Geoncheonheugbori) as affected by different proton beam irradiation. The ${\lambda}max$, blue value, and amylose content were significantly associated with increasing proton beam irradiation. The pasting time in barley flour irradiated with proton beam ranged 0.09 to 0.16 min shorter than nonirradiated barley flour. Gel pasting temperature ranged 57.4 to $60.5^{\circ}C$. Gel pasting temperature in barley flour decreased with increasing proton beam irradiation. Proton beam irradiation caused a significant decrease in the onset temperature (To), peak temperature (Tp), conclusion temperature (Tc) and enthalpy change (${\Delta}H$). Gelatinization range (R) in barley starch was more broaden than that of non-irradiated barley starch. Barley starches gave the strong diffraction peak at around $2{\Theta}$ values$15^{\circ}$, $18^{\circ}$, $20^{\circ}$, and $23^{\circ}$ $2{\Theta}$. Peak intensity tended to increase with increased proton beam irradiation. The granule crystallinity is closely associated with decreased amylose and increased amylopectin component. The crystallinity degree of barley starch irradiated with proton beam was significantly increased and it ranged from 24.9 to 32.9% compared to the non-irradiated barley starches. It might be deduced that proton beam irradiation causes significant changes of properties of starch viscosity in rice, especially at high irradiation of proton beam.

This experiment was conducted to know the genetic nature of waxy and fractured starch endosperm genes in 1983. F$_2$ seeds involve simple recessive gene(1：3) for the waxy and fractured starch endosperm genes, respectively. Also, association between waxy and fractured starch endosperm have shown to be segregated as expected to fit in the ratio 9：3：3：1 respectively of normal-nonwaxy： fractured-nonwaxy： normal-waxy： fractured-waxy showing the acceptable value of X$^2$ test of independence.

For the development of technique for isolation of naked barley starch from Youngsan variety, optimum conditions of the isolation process were investigated. The effect of blending was examined and the results showed that 29.7% starch yield was obtained by 6 times of blending. After the blending, the barley starch contained 3.2% protein, 0.7% fat, 0.4% fiber, 0.4% ash and 2.8% ${eta}$-glucan. The opitmum conditions of ${eta}$-glucanase treatment were studied and the results showed that the amount of ${eta}$-glucanase and barley flour-water ratio were 60,000 unit and 1/2, the optimum steeping temperature, pH were $45^{\circ}C$ and 6.5, respectively. The effect of alkali treatment which would be supposed to increase the yield and purity of the barley starch was also examined. 76.7% starch content was obtained by 2 hr of alkali treatment. After all the treatment of isolation process, the barley starch finally contained 0.2% protein and 0.1% ${eta}$-glucan.

In order to breed barley lines with reduced viscosity of wort, a fractured starch mutant of naked barley cultivar, Nubet, was obtained from the M2 seeds mutated by the diethyl sulfate treatment. Seeds of this fractured starch mutant were opaque and the endosperm consists of angular, irregular and fractured starch. The mutant was caused by single recessive mutation and assigned by the symbol fra. The gene was located on chromosome 4, distal in long arm by linkage recombinations using translocation homozygote lethal test set. The linkage value between the fractured starch mutant and 72-4a, 72-4d were 26.0$\pm$4.9, 34.2$\pm$3.1 percent respectively. In addition to the reduced seed size, fewer kernels per spike and higher tillering ability, lower $\beta$-glucan viscosity and higher lysine content of the grain were associated with this mutant. $\beta$-glucan viscosity of the Nubet grains increased from 3 weeks after anthesis to matury and most of the viscose substances appeared to be stored in the middle of the endosperm tissue. Since the mutant grains showed better milling property as compared to Nubet, it can be used as breeding resources to develope new barley cultivars for maltins and milling purpose.

Molecular structures and functional properties of starches isolated from normal, waxy, and zero amylose barleys were examined. Amylopectins from zero amylose starch had the largest molecular weight $(M_w)$, whereas those from high amylose starch, the smallest. A good correlation between the $(M_w)$ and the radius of gyration $(R_g)$ was observed among amylopectins from various starches, indicating similar polymeric conformation in solution even with the differences in the $(M_w)$. The debranched amylopectin molecules from different types of barley starches exhibited similar profiles, implying that the packing geometry of double helices in the different types of barley starches may be similar. Zero amylose starch showed the highest peak viscosity (326 RVU) in RV A viscograms at lower pasting temperature $(67.6^{\circ}C)$, compared to normal and high amylose starches. Relationship between RVA peak viscosity and amylose content suggested that the presence of amylose inhibited the development of granular swelling of barley starches during cooking. A rapid retrogradation, traced by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and strain-controlled rheometry, occurred in the high amylose starch sample during storage, while zero amylose starch showed a very good resistance to retrogradation, indicating excellent storage stability.

This study is presented to investigate the physico-chemical properties and qualities for the starch isogenic lines bred in barley(Hordeum vulgare L.).The pearling yield showed higher value in Franubet and Wafranubet than others, but the whiteness of pearled barley varied with the cultivars. The milling rate showed excellence in Franubet, fractured granular lines, whereas that of the waxy and round endosperm isogenic lines is poor. Franubet, the lines having fractures starch granule, was highest in starch content. The highest value in swelling power and water-binding capacity of the barley was proved by the lines having waxy and fractured starch endosperms. The amylogram patterns indicated that the waxy lines such as Wanubet and Wafranubet have lower initial gelatinization temperature and higher maximum viscosity than those of the normal lines. ${\beta}-Glucan\;viscosity$ was generally higher in waxy barley but changed greatly with the cultivars. The water absorption, soluble solid and expansibility in cooking property showed the highest value in waxy and fractured starch granular lines, and the whiteness of cooked barley did not differ with cultivars.

The effect of ${\beta}$-glucan, prepared from waxy barley, on the dynamic viscoelasticity of nonwaxy and waxy barley starch during gelatinization and gelation was studied. Although no significant effect was observed on waxy starch, there were drastic changes in the dynamic viscoelasticity of nonwaxy starch. The gelatinization onset temperature of nonwaxy starch shifted to a higher temperature and showed a drastic increase in storage modulus and loss modulus at the range of $80{\sim}90^{\circ}C$. During the gelation of nonwaxy starch, ${\beta}$-glucan increased the rate of gel formation and weakened the network of starch and amylose by prohibiting their association. Therefore, we proved that there was no specific interaction between amylose and ${\beta}$-glucan. The addition of ${\beta}$-glucan to waxy starch seemed to have no effect of waxy starch.
