The aim of this study was to establish relationships between chemical and physical parameters of wheat with performance and digestibilities of feed components in broiler chickens fed on wheat-based diets. Ninety-four wheat samples were selected for inclusion in four bird trials. Birds were housed in individual wire metabolism cages from 7 to 28 d and offered water and feed ad libitum. Dry matter intake (DMI), liveweight gain (LWG) and gain:feed were measured weekly. A balance collection was carried out from 14 to 21 d for determination of apparent metabolizable energy (AME), ME:gain, dry matter retention, oil and neutral detergent fibre (NDF) digestibility. At 28 d the birds were humanely killed, the contents of the jejunum removed for determination of in vivo viscosity and the contents of the ileum removed for determination of ileal dry matter, starch and protein digestibility. When wheat parameters were correlated with bird performance data, it was found that specific weight was not significantly (p>0.05) related to bird performance. Bird DMI, LWG and gain:feed were best correlated (p<0.05) with the rate of starch digestion, although the coefficients of correlation (r) were still low (0.246 to 0.523). A negative relationship (p<0.01) between AME and total (r = -0.432) and soluble (r = -0.304) non starch polysaccharide (NSP) was observed in this study. Thousand grain weight (TG) was positively correlated with DMI (r = 0.299), LWG (r = 0.343) and gain:feed (r = 0.371). When establishing multiple regression relationships, correlation coefficients greater than 0.8 were achieved for DMI, LWG, gain:feed and ileal crude protein digestibility. However, the economics involved in determining the parameters involved in the regressions make the process impractical.

Glucoamylases catalyze a stepwise hydrolysis of starch with the production of glucose. In order to make an efficient conversion of starch into glucose, glucoamylases prepared from Rhizopus spp. (Sigma Co.) were attached to a porous glass and immobilized by glutaraldehyde-induced crosslinking. The porous glass used in this study was $ZrO_2$ coated, $40{\sim}80$ mesh, 550 A pore diameter. Using the forgoing glass, we could couple as much as 50mg of protein per gram of carrier. Substrate for the glucoamylase was an enzyrne-modified thin-toiling 30% cornstarch solution used where greater solubility and low viscosity are desired. Immobilized glucoamylase had an optimum pH 7.0 to the alkaline side of soluble enzyme. Km values of immobilized and soluble enzyme were 1.04 mM and 1.25mM, respectively. The thermal stability of glucoamylase was increased by immobilization and the immobilized enzyme showed an optimum temperature at $40{\sim}60^{\circ}C$. The continuous conversion of cornstarch to glucose by use of immobilized glucoamylase resulted in the production of a more than 90 DE product.

The effects of various kinds of starch (mungbean, potato, corn and a blend of potato and com starch) on the quality characteristics of muhwakwa-pyun were studied according to the storage duration. The sweetness, pH and total acidity of muhwakwa extract were analyzed, as were the Visco/Amylograph viscosity profile and DSC thermodynamic characteristics of starches. For quality characteristics, color difference, instrumental texture characteristics and sensory characteristics were compared. The sweetness of muhwakwa extract was satisfactory but the total acidity was low for Kwa-pyun manufacture. Therefore, its pH was adjusted to 3.4 by adding 10％ citric acid with an amount of 1％ of total liquid. From the Visco/Amylograph viscosity profile and DSC thermodynamic characteristics of starches, a blend of potato and com starch was found to be easy to cook and form a gel but a little more resistant than the other starches in terms of retrogradatin. Lightness (L) and yellowness (b) of Kwa-pyun increased while its redness (a) decreased by the storage. The color became whiter and the clarity decrease regardless of the kinds of starch, which became obvious after 3 days of storage. The hardness, springiness, adhesiveness and cohesiveness tended to decrease with storage, which was weak in a blend starch. The overall acceptability of Kwa-pyun made with a blend of potato and com starch was evaluated as being the best among the samples tested. Therefore, for traditional kwa-pyun manufacture manufacture mungbean starch might be replaced with a blend of potato and corn starch which is less expensive and easily available in the market nowadays.

Improvements in understanding the effects of dietary fermentable carbohydrates and their interaction with supplemental feed enzymes and the feed manufacturing process may lead to reductions in volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions from poultry manure. Starch digestibility has been improved by replacing ground wheat or barley with whole wheat or barley, but there was no consistent effect of cereal species or feed form on the pH value of the gizzard contents. Pelleting results in improvements in feed conversion from 0 to 12%. Starch digestibility has been reported to account for up to 35 % of the improvement in available metabolic energy as a result of xylase supplementation. Factors which affect starch utilization and non-starch polysaccharide (NSP) absorption include the presence of anti-nutrient facto. (ANF) in grains, the nature of grain starch, NSP and the digestive capacity of animals. Improvements in feed production technology have been made in enzyme stabilization, allowing some dry enzyme products to be pelleted after conditioning at up to $87.69^{\circ}C$ and liquid enzymes to be stored in the feed mill for up to low months prior to use. The soluble NSP, arabinokylans and beta-glucans are partially degraded into smaller fragments by enzymes. With fragmentation, the water holding capacity is decreased, which leads to a reduction in digesta moisture, wet feces, and dirty eggs from hens fed diets containing viscosity-inducing ingredients.

The in vitro digestibility and molecular and crystalline structures of rice starches (Seilmi, Dasan1, and Segoami) with differing amylose content were investigated. Segoami had the highest amylose content (30.9%), whereas Dasan1 had the lowest amylose content (21.2%). The molecular weight ($\bar{M}_w$) of amylose and amylopectin in Segoami was much lower than that of the other two rice starches. Segoami had the highest proportion (8.7%) of amylopectin short branch chains (DP 6-12) and the lowest proportion of B1 chains (DP 13-24). The relative crystallinity, intensity ratio of $1047-1022cm^{-1}$ (1047/1022) and gelatinization enthalpy followed the order: Segoami>Seilmi~Dasan1. Segoami showed substantially low pasting viscosity. Rapidly digestible starch (RDS), slowly digestible starch (SDS), and resistant starch (RS) contents showed the highest value in Seilmi, Dasan1, and Segoami, respectively. The expected glycemic index (eGI) of Segoami was lower than that of the other two rice starches. Overall results suggested that the digestibility of rice starch could be highly influenced by their molecular and crystalline structure.

Sole-binder formulation has been recently introduced to solve the problems of coating process and printability caused by use of natural polymer However, the decrease of natural polymer application causes another problem in paper coating. Therefore, synthetic thickener is used to get similar effect to natural polymer usage. In this study. low shear viscosity, dewatering of coating colors were measured to evaluate the performance of the alkali sensitive water retention and rheology modifiers. The effects of alkali sensitive thickener on the physical properties of coated paper and printability were also investigated. The gloss and printability of coated paper containing the synthetic flow modifier were similar or superior to those of CMC containing coated paper. This modifier was also effective to improve the problems caused by the use of starch. The results indicated that the flow modifier synthesized with alkali sensitive thickener can reduce the problems of natural polymer and could be a good substitute f3r a natural polymer.

The physicochemical characteristics of fresh noodles made with blends of low-protein wheat flour and barley byproduct (BBP, $250{\mu}m$) were investigated. The crude protein contents (PC) of flour from Goso and Backjoong cultivars were 7.91% and 7.67%, respectively. PC and ${\beta}$-glucan contents from the BBP were 14.10% and 3.11%, respectively, which were higher than those in wheat flour. The water-holding capacity (WHC) of various blends was increased as a function of BBP but not gluten contents. Goso flour had the highest starch content (78.68%), with peak and final viscosities of 3,099 and 3,563 cp, respectively. Peak and final viscosities, trough, breakdown, and setback of the blends were decreased with the addition of BBP. Noodles made with Backjoong had the highest thickness score, while the hardness of noodles made with blends of Goso or Backjoong and 20% BBP were similar to those made from wheat flour only. The WHC of the samples was strongly correlated with PC, crude fiber, and ${\beta}$-glucan. The PC was not correlated with final viscosity, setback, thickness, hardness, gumminess, or chewiness.

Granule swelling is essential phenomenon of starch gelatinization in excess water, and characteristic of heated starch dispersion depends largely on size and distribution of swelled starch granule. Although swelling characteristic of starch granules depends on type of starch, heating rate, and moisture content, influence of heating rate on swelling phenomenon of starch granule has not been fully discussed, because constant heating rate of starch dispersion cannot be obtained by conventional heating method. Ohmic heating, electric-resistant heat generation method, applies alternative current to food materials, through which heating rate can be easily controlled precisely and conveniently at wide range of constant heating rates. Starch dispersion heated at low heating rates below $7.5^{\circ}C/min$ showed Newtonian fluid behavior, whereas showed pseudoplastic behavior at heating rates above $16.4^{\circ}C/min$. Apparent viscosity of starch dispersion increased linearly with increasing heating rate, and yield stress was dramatically increased at heating rates above $16.4^{\circ}C/min$. Average diameter of corn starch granules during ohmic heating was dramatically increased from $30.97\;to\;37.88\;{\mu}m$ by increasing heating rate from $0.6\;to\;16.4^{\circ}C/min$ (raw corn starch: $13.7\;{\mu}m$). Hardness of starch gel prepared with 15% corn starch dispersion after heating to $90^{\circ}C$ at different heating rates decreased gradually with increasing heating rate, then showed nearly constant value from $9.4\;to\;23.2^{\circ}C/min$. Hardness increased with increase of heating rate higher than $23.2^{\circ}C/min$.

In this study, we conducted a physiochemical property analysis using commercial faba bean flour (CFBF), faba bean flour (FBF), and faba bean starch (FBS). We observed that the FBS granules were elliptical and cracked on the surface. Moreover, FBS showed significantly lower solubility and apparent viscosity than FBF and CFBF. With respect to the pasting properties, FBS exhibited a peak viscosity of 1349.3 cP at 94.8℃ and a breakdown of 42.7 cP, whereas FBF and CFBF displayed no pasting properties. The FBS gelatinization enthalpy (12.9 J/g) was relatively high compared with the values obtained for FBF and CFBF (5.9 and 4.6 J/g, respectively). The FBS X-ray diffraction patterns showed a C-type pattern with peaks at diffraction angle (2θ) of 5.9°, 15.2°, 17.3°, and 23.1°, which were the same in FBF and CFBF with relatively low peak intensity. These results represent basic data for using faba bean as a food material.

The impact of dietary non-starch polysaccharides (NSP) on performance and carcass traits of broilers fed wheat-bran substituted into corn-soybean meal-based diets supplemented with xylanase was investigated. A total of 280 (7-day-old) Ross 308 broilers were randomly allotted to one of five dietary treatments with 8 replicates, 7 chicks per pen. Treatments were; i) CON: Control diet, ii) CON-X (CON + 3,000 U/kg xylanase), iii) L-X: low NSP (2% wheat bran in CON + 3,000 U/kg xylanase), iv) M-X: medium NSP (4% wheat bran in CON + 3,000 U/kg xylanase), v) H-X: higher NSP (8% wheat bran in CON+ 3,000 U/kg xylanase). Birds fed the H-X diet increased (p < 0.05) daily gains, and average daily feed intake and had marginally improved body weights (p = 0.074) on day 35. Relatively, the H-X diet tended to increase the average daily gains (p = 0.053; p = 0.073) of birds during the grower phase (d 24-35) and the entire experimental period (d 8-35), respectively. Moreover, there were no significant differences among treatments in the feed conversion ratio of birds throughout the entire experiment period. Birds fed diets CON-X, L-X, and M-X had improved (p < 0.05) the ileal digestibility of energy on d 24 and 35 compared to those fed the H-X diet. Furthermore, birds fed diet CON-X improved (p < 0.05) N digestibility on d 24. Improved carcass moisture content and lowered crude fat of leg meat (p < 0.05) were noted in birds fed the diet M-X and H-X on d 35, respectively. The intestinal viscosity was reduced (p < 0.05) in xylanase-supplemented treatments CON-X, L-X, M-X, and H-X diets when compared to CON. Our results suggest that supplementing 3,000 U/kg xylanase in a higher NSP (8% wheat bran substituted level) diet could improve the intestinal viscosity and growth performance of broilers.
