Sweet potato starch was modified using Thermus aquaticus $\alpha$-1,4-glucanotransferase ($Ta{\alpha}GT$), and its structural and rheological properties were investigated. $Ta{\alpha}GT$-modified starch had a lower amylose level and molecular weight than raw starch. The chain length distribution showed an increased number of short and long branched chains and the formation of cycloamyloses. Compared with raw starch, $Ta{\alpha}GT$-modified starch displayed a lower gelatinization enthalpy and a wider melting temperature range. The X-ray diffraction of $Ta{\alpha}GT$-modified starch was a weak V-type pattern with distinct sharp peaks at 13 and $20^{\circ}$. Scanning electron micrographs of modified starch exhibited big holes on the surface and the loss of granular structure. The frequency sweep measurement revealed that the gel of $Ta{\alpha}GT$-modified starch was more rigid than raw starch gel. However, the structure of modified starch gel was destroyed by heating at $75^{\circ}C$, and a firm gel was re-formed by subsequent storage at $5^{\circ}C$, indicating thermoreversible property.

Rheological properties of the aqueous solution of various polysaccarides and their effects as a stabilizer in fruit(peach) syrup and yogurt were investigated. Four kinds of modified starch(Sun Kolguard, Sun Registar, Mira Cleer 340 and Maps 449), three types of carrageenan(kappa, iota and lambda types) and pectin were used in this study. The 5% aqueous solution of each modified starch was gelatinized at $66^{\circ}C$. After gelatinization, Sun Kolguard showed the highest viscosity among those samples. The synergistic effect of carrageenan on 5% aqueous solution of Sun Kolguard was studied by changing the mixing ratio, and the result showed that the ratio 90:10(Sun Kolguard:carageenan) had the maximum synergistic effect and the effect of iota type carrageenan was higher than that of other types. The effect of Sun Kolguard as a stabilizer in fruit syrup were superior to other modified starches studied. The gelatinization temperature of the addition of iota carrageenan in starch added fruit syrup changed from $66^{\circ}C$ of 5% aqueous solution to $82^{\circ}C$. Furthermore, the viscosity after cooling of syrup which made iota carrageenan and starch added fruit syrup was more increased than simple starch added fruit syrup. The mixture of 90% Sun Kolguard and 10% iota carrageenan were estimated as the most appropriate stabilizer for manufacturing the fruit syrup and yogurt adding fruit syrup.

The mechanical and thermal properties of solutions of acorn starch were investigated, to determine the effect of sucrose on the retrogradation. The contents of moisture and amylose of purified acorn starch was 9.35, 27% respectively. From the moecular weight distribution, Mw and Mn of acorn starch were 1,220,432 and 137,201 relatively and the polydispersity of acorn starch was 8.8952. The creep compliance of acorn starch with and without sucrose were decreased with increasing sucrose concentration in the short term. The temperatures of DSC curve of 15% acorn starch solution containg sucrose shifted slightly to higher temperatures with increasing sucrose content. The enthalpy change associated with the gelatinization was increased with increasing sucrose content. After 7 days storage, the creep compliance of acorn starch gel with sucrose were shown higher than acorn starch gel. Regelatinization enthalpy of acorn starch/sucrose/water system was decreased with increasing sucrose content and increased with storage time. In addition, the characteristic temperatures such as onset temperature, peak temperature and conclusion temperature was increased by sucrose addition. Retrogradation ratio decreased with increasing sucrose content, thus sucrose inhibit retrogradation in the long term. Sucrose acts as an antistaling reagents and retatards the retrogradation.

Physicochemical properties of potato starches with degree of substitution of 0-0.2645 hydroxypropylated with propylene oxide were examined. Hydorxypropyl group content of the starch was proportional to propylene oxide concentration. Water binding capacity increased but pH decreased with the increase of degree of substitution. Blue value and iodine absorption property decreased with the increase of hydroxypropylation. Differential scanning calorimeter showed that hydroxypropylation lowered the gelatinization temperature of the starch. Relative crystallinity in X-ray diffraction patterns decreased and starch granule observed by scanning electron microscopy was destroyed by hydroxypropylation. This result implied that high level hydroxypropylation affected the crystal region as well as amorphous region of starch.

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.

This study was performed to analyze the effects of ultra fine pulverization (UFP) on the physicochemical properties of sweet potato starch (SPS). The average diameter and specific surface area of the SPS was decreased from 22.94 to 10.25 $\mu$m and from 0.879 to 1.909 $m^2$ /g throughout UFP, respectively, and the damaged starch content was increased from 13.7 to 99.2%. The pulverized sweet potato starch (PSPS) had higher swelling power, solubility, and transmittance values than the SPS. X-ray diffractograms revealed that the SPS had a C-type pattern, which disappeared in PSPS. The rapid visco analysis (RVA) characteristics, peak viscosity, break down, and set back of SPS ceased to exist in PSPS. According to differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) curves, the peak temperature ($T_p$) and gelatinization enthalpy ($\Delta$E) of SPS were $71.95^{\circ}C$ and 10.40 J/g, respectively, while these remained undetected in PSPS. The enzymatic digestibilities of SPS and PSPS were 61.7 and 84.7%, respectively.

The objective of this study was to investigate the structural and physicochemical properties of starch by barely cultivars. Hwanggeumchal had a moisture content and ${\beta}$-glucan content of 12.02 and 6.23%, respectively. Hyegang had higher protein contents than those of the other cultivars. As a result of observing the particle size of starch, Hwanggeumchal and Hyegang had smaller particles of starch compared with the other cultivars at 15.7 and $15.9{\mu}m$, respectively. The analysis results on the content of damaged starch showed that Dahan and Hyegang had a damaged starch content of 1.14 and 1.20%, whereas Boseokchal and Hwanggeumchal were 0.76 and 0.49% respectively, showing low waxy cultivars. As for the content of amylose, the results show that Dahan and Hyegang had an amylose content of 37.07 and 37.75%, and Boseokchal and Hwanggeumchal were at 11.22 and 37.75%, respectively. As for the degree of amylopectin polymerization, all four cultivars had the highest degree of polymerization (DP) content of 13 - 24 at more than 54%, whereas the DP content ${\geq}37$ was the lowest at less than 5.35%. The results for the soluble and resistant starch content show that the content of soluble starch ranged from 93.90 to 95.76%, and resistant starch was 0.17 - 0.40%. After analyzing the gelatinization properties of barley starch, the value of the setback was low in Hwanggeumchal and Hyegang; thus, it is considered that the aging process of those cultivars will be slower than that of the others.

This study has been carried out in order to investigate the physicochemical properties of two small red bean starches. Some of rheological properties of the starch gels were also studied by experiments of various starch concentrations. Water binding capacity of black bean starch was 172.3% and that of red bean starch was 199.0%. Black bean starch had lower swelling power than red bean starch, but the solubility of the black bean starch was higher. When the temperature increased from 60$^{\circ}C$ to 70$^{\circ}C$, the transmittance of two starches rapidly increased. The gelatinized temperature in DSC for black bean was 66.2$^{\circ}C$ and that for red bean was 66.0$^{\circ}C$. Black bean and red bean starches had the blue vlaues of 0.55 and 0.56 and the alkali numbers of 4.40 and 4.13. The molecular weight of amylose was 40,000 and 33,611. The amylose contents of two starches were same at 52%. Brabender Amylographs of two small red bean starch pastes showed C pattern, which is stable. The results of compression test pointed out that TPA parameters varied with the change of storage time, and black bean starch gels had the higher TPA value. The retrogradation study by glucoamylase digestion method revealed that red bean starch gels were more easily retrogradated than black bean. X-ray diffraction patterns of two small red bean starches were A pattern, and diffraction peaks disappeared with gelatinization of starches.

Rheological properties of dough made from waxy barley(Iri28) flour wheat flour mixtures with additives were investigated for the preparation of waxy barley bread using farinograph, extensograph and amy lograph. The water absorption, development time and dough weakness increased as the waxy barley flour level increased in all blends; however, dough stability decreased. Farinogram properties of 10% waxy barley flour added mixture were similar to those of 100% wheat flour. The addition of A.A(ascorbic acid), gluten, HPMC(hydroxy propyl methyl cellulose) improved rheological properties of dough with 30% waxy barley flour added mixture. In particular, stability and weakness of the dough showed greater dough improving effect by addition of A.A. For the extensograph data, strength, resistance and extensibility of dough decreased with increasing level of waxy barley flour. With the addition of additives, extensogram properties were variable for 30% waxy barley flour mixture. Of these additives, gluten had highest value in strength of dough. Addition of A.A and HPMC to 30% waxy barley flour added mixture resulted in an increase in the resistance and a decrease in the extensibility. Waxy barley flour added mixtures showed little higher gelatinization temperature on amylograph data than control. Maximum viscosity reduced as the waxy barley flour level increased. Also 30% waxy barley flour added mixture containing A.A and HPMC showed a decrease in maximum viscosity. But addition of gluten to 30% waxy barley flour mixture resulted an increase in the maximum viscosity. All of 30% waxy barley flour added mixture with additives had lower gelatinization temperature than those without additives. In the SEM images, starch granules were dispersed in a protein matrix. A non continuous, loose protein starch matrix was observed in all waxy barley flour mixture by SEM. Addition of additives gave the dough a more continuous structure with interactions between the starch granule and protein component.

Physicochemical properties of starches isolated from 3 new potato cultivars developed by Potato Valley Ltd. were investigated and compared to those of starch isolated from 'Superior' being distributed prominently in Korea. Significant differences were observed in physicochemical properties such as granule size, amylose content, phosphorus content, water binding capacity, swelling power, solubility, and in vitro digestibility of starches from different potato cultivars. Thermal properties were evaluated using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and onset gelatinization temperatire ($T_o$), peak temperature ($T_p$), and enthalpies of gelatinization (${\triangle}H$) of different potato cultivars ranged as $58.0{\pm}0.3-61.7{\pm}0.4^{\circ}C,\;63.7{\pm}0.2-$ $66.5{\pm}0.0^{\circ}C$, and $15.6{\pm}0.5-17.0{\pm}0.3$ J/g, respectively. Pasting properties were evaluated using a rapid visco analyzer (RVA), and pasting temperature, peak viscosity, and final viscosity of different potato cultivars ranged as $65.0{\pm}0.1-68.9{\pm}0.1^{\circ}C$, $8,163.7{\pm}196.3-9,035.7{\pm}6.4$ cp, and $4,397.7{\pm}166.7-7,025.0{\pm}271.3$ cp, respectively. Especially, 'Gogu valley' starch showed the highest values in the amylose and phosphorus content among tested potato cultivars and higher water binding capacity, swelling power, and solubility than those of other tested starches. And it also showed high pasting temperature, peak viscosity, trough viscosity, and final viscosity as compared to other tested starches.
