Gelatinization behavior and morphology of epichlorohydrin-crosslinked potato starches (XPs) were investigated. Native potato starch showed a very steep single stage swlling pattern, but crosslinked starches showed various patterns with the degree of crosslinking. Swelling power, solubility and light transmittance were reduced drastically as the degree of crosslinking increased. Brabender initial pasting temperature and peak temperature of crosslinked starches increased because the crosslinking reinforces the intermolecular net work of the starches. Although the swelling of the potato starch granule was inhibited by crosslinking as compared to that of the native one, Brabender peak viscosities (6.5% w/v, db) were on the order of 2,500 units for the native potato starch, 3,700 for the XP with 2.300 anhydroglucose units per crosslinking (AGU/CL) and 3,400 for the XP with 2,100 AGU/CL, due to the decreased breakdown of the swollen granule resulting from the resistance to heat and shear. The XP with 1,900 AGU/CL, however, did not show the peak viscosity and the viscosity was on the order of 500 units because of the excessive unhibition of the swelling. Unlike the native potato starch, 6.5%(m/v, db) pastes of the crosslinked potato starches could form gels, which could be predicted from the Brabender setback and consistency index. When the degree of crosslinking is low, random contraction and radial swelling of the granule was possible. As the degree of crosslinking increased, morphological change became similar to the single dimensional tangential swelling observed from the lenticular wheat starch. These morphological change during heating in excess water explained the gelatinization behaviors of crosslinked starches tested.

Physicochemical properties, gelatinization and retrogradation characteristics of surfactant added sweet potato starches were investigated. Three different surfactants, SSL (sodium stearoyl-2-lactylate), Dimodan (mono/diglyceride) and SE1670 (sucrose fatty acid ester 1670) were used. Shapes and crystallinities of starch granules were not changed by the addition of surfactants. Total lipid contents increased and the amylose content decreased by the addition of surfactants and the order was as follows: SE1670>SSL>Dimodan. The swelling power and solubility at $80^{\circ}C$ decreased in the surfactant added starches. By amylograph, initial gelatinization temperature of untreated sweet potato starch was $72.5^{\circ}C$, and did not change by the addition of surfactants, but SE1670 or Dimodan added starch showed the peak viscosity. The peak temperature of gelatinization and enthalpy of untreated starch by DSC were $53.9^{\circ}C$ and 1.3cal/g, respectively. The peak temperature increased by the addition of surfactants, while the enthalpy decreased. In gelatinization by alkali, the viscosity was lower in surfactant added starches than in untreated starch at concentration. The degree of retrogradation by ${\alpha}-amylase-iodine$ method was a lower in SSL and SE1670 added starches than untreated starch and the enthalpy by DSC also decreased in surfactant added and retrograded starches.

To measure rheological properties of the starch dough, an Extrusion Capillary Viscometer(ECV) cell was self-made and attached to Instron machine(Model 1140). Apparent viscosities of corn and waxy corn starch doughs were measured and their gelatinization degrees were determined by enzymatic analysis. When corn and waxy corn starch doughs with $36{\sim}52%$ moisture content were heated at $60{\sim}100^{\circ}C$, come-up time of the cold point of doughs decreased from 220 sec to 140 sec with increased in the moisture content. In the measurement range of $36{\sim}52%$ moisture content and $60{\sim}100^{\circ}C$ heating temperature, both corn and waxy corn starch doughs showed pseudoplastic flow behaviors. At the same shear rate, both shear stress and viscosity of starch dough decreased as the moisture content increased. At the moisture content above 44%, the shear stress and viscosity of starch dough decreased as the heating temperature increased from $60^{\circ}C\;to\;70^{\circ}C$, but increased as the heating temperature increased from $80^{\circ}C\;to\;100^{\circ}C$. When the moisture content increased and heating temperature, the gelatinization degree of starch dough increased from about 10% to about 62%. The gelatinization degree of waxy corn starch dough was $15{\sim}20%$ higher than that of corn starch dough under the same gelatinization conditions. The effects of moisture content on the viscosity of starch dough were examined by Arrhenius equation. As the moisture content increased, viscosity of starch dough decreased. But the effect of moisture content was greater in the range of $80{\sim}100^{\circ}C$ than in the range of $60{\sim}70^{\circ}C$ heating temperature.

Kyongdan is a kind of Korean rice cake made from glutinous rice powder. This study attempted to clarify the factors which affect the textural characteristics, and to examine the effects on sensory characteristics and texture of Kyongdan in various soaking time, temperature and volume of adding water in the preparation of Kyongdan. Evaluation was conducted through sensory evaluation and objective evaluation. The degree of gelatinization in various storage time and temperature were evaluated by $\beta$-amylase digestibility. The results were summarized as follows. 1. In preparation, the significant factors were the temperature and volume of water, number of kneading, condition of powder, and the relationships between soaking time and temperature of water and between volume and temperature of water and between volume of water and number of kneading and between volume of water and salt. 2. In sensory evaluation on the various soaking time and temperature and volume of water, the most favorite tendency on the overall quality was at the addition level of hot water of 25% with glutinous rice powder made by soaking for 12 hours. This condition corresponded to the low level of hardness, gumminess, chewiness and the high level of springiness and cohesiveness in comparision with Instron measurement. 3. The degree of gelatinization were decreased rapidly during two days of storage. In storage temperature, Kyongdan which was stored at $0^{\circ}C$, showed the most low level of the degree of gelatinization at the same storage time.

Eight varieties of milled rice showing different palatabilities were studied in order to identify the relationship between physicochemical properties of carbohydrate components and their fine structure. Gopumbyeo showed the highest palatability value among the eight varieties tested. Both peak viscosity and breakdown were hightest in Hitomebore, and lowest in Mihyangbyeo. No relationship was indicated between the palatability and gelatinization properties. The amylose content of starch showed a significant difference among the varieties tested. However, no relationship was found between the structure of amylose and the palatability of milled rice. The degree of branching(B/A value) was highest in Saechucheongbyeo, and lowest in Palgongbyeo in fine structure of amylopectin. But no relationship was indicated between the B/A values and the palatability of milled rice. Difference was indicated in properties of gelatinization of starch by differential scanning calorimetry. The enthalphy for gelatinization showed a significant difference among the varieties. However, no relationship was found between the enthalphy for gelatinization and the palatability of milled rice. Monosaccharide in endosperm was composed of rice were compound of rhamnose, fucose, ribose, arabinose, and xylose. The total content of monosaccharides was highest in Saechucheongbyeo, and lowest in Palgongbyeo. However, 7 varieties of milled rice, expect Palgongbyeo, showed no relationship between the palatability and monosaccharides contents.

Extrusion with enzyme treatment improved processing characteristics and physiological activity of whole grains, strongly suggesting industrial potential of whole grains for production of cereal-based functional foods containing activated nutraceuticals. Physicochemical properties of whole grains prepared by extrusion were characterized in terms of vitamin, mineral, and resistant starch contents, gelatinization, and digestibility in comparison with those of raw and roasted grains. Extrusion increased grain gelatinization, with degree of gelatinization in extruded barley being seven times higher than that of raw barley. Extrusion improved digestibility of whole grains in comparison with those of raw and roasted grains. Dispersibility of starch was improved through extrusion, while content of resistant starch decreased. Release of ${\beta}-sitosterol$ present in whole grains increased 13-fold when both extrusion and enzyme treatment were used.

Gelatinization behaviours and gel properties of hydroxypropylated corn starches (HPCS) were investigated with differential scanning calorimeter, amylograph and rheometer. Gelatinization temperature of HPCS decreased as degree of substitution increased. The retrogradation of corn starch was greatly reduced by hydroxypropylation, indicating that the association of starch molecules was sterically hindered by hydroxypropyl groups. In HPCS, gel was formed slowly and gel strength decreased resulting in soft and sticky texture. Texture profiles of HPCS gels were similar to those of tapioca and waxy corn starch. HPCS has shown a remarkable increase of paste transparency compared to native corn starch.

Attempts were made to unravel the differences in the textural properties between a dry type, Wonki and a moist type, Chunmi sweet potato. The changes in the ingredients, cellular shapes, degree of gelatinization and hardness of sweet potatoes during baking were studied. Alcohol insoluble solid, starch and protopectin contents and activities of amylase and polygalacturonase of Wonki sweet potato were higher than those of Chunmi sweet potato. The cell sizes were smaller and the number of starch granules within the cells were higher in Wonki than in Chunmi. Gelatinization occurred in Wonki more lately than in Chunmi during baking. The difference in hardness after baking between Wonki and Chunmi was found distinctively. But both samples were gelatinized completely, the difference in hardness was not found.
