Branched maltodextrin which contains branched sugars as well as linear sugars was produced by Tranzyme L 500. Branched sugar content increased as reaction time between substrate(D.E. 19) and 0.05% of Tranzyme L 500 at pH 5.5, 55oC increased. Branched sugar content was 14.9% at 24 hr of reaction and reached 27% after 60 hr. Total branched sugar content increased regardless of substrate D.E. as enzyme concentration increased. However, when concentrations of enzyme were 0.1, 0.2%, production of branched sugars of which content were 46.6%, 52.6% respectively at those enzyme concentrations, was higher at D.E. 19 than any other conditions.

A study was designed to investigate the sorption characteristics of binary mixture of red ginseng powder and maltodextrin(DE-17) or lactose stored at various relative humidities ranging from 52% to 93%. At low relative humilities below RH 67%, the sorption equilibrium was easily achieved, whereas at higher relative humidity values over 75%, all of the mixtures tended to absorb moisture continuously with an increase in storage time. A linear equation of log(dw/dt): a log(t)+ log b was found to be valid between the sorption rate and storage time with respect to storage humilities. A linearity was also found between log(1-Aw) and the amount of water absorbed over the Aw range of 0.52∼0.93 and the slope was affected by the kind of sugar added with that of red ginseng powder and maltodextrin mixture being the smallest.

The effects of selected stabilizers and sugars on color deterioration of anthocyanin in Schizandra fructus were examined at $100^{\circ}C$ for $120{\sim}180$ min. Among four test sugars, it was found that fructose accelerated the thermal color deterioration while maltose retarded the color deterioration by 40%. Maltodextrin and ${\gamma}$-cyclodextrin showed the highest stabilizing effect on the thermal color deterioration of crude pigment extract from Schizandra fructus(CPES) containing 2 mg% of anthocyanin. Addition of maltodextrin or ${\gamma}$-cyclodextin at 5% retarded thermal color deterioration of CPES. In gel system, 5% of maltodextrin also retarded the color deterioration by $15{\sim}20%$ during storage at $25^{\circ}C\;and\;35^{\circ}C$.

Carrots were dried using 30, 50, and 80% polyethylene glycol (PEG) or maltodextrin as a dehydrating agent, and the dried carrots were compared with the freeze dried and hot-air dried in terms of rehydration ratio, color, carotene content, and sensory evaluation. The amount of moisture loss during drying of carrots using PEG or maltodextrin increased with increasing concentration of dehydrating agent. Rehydration ratio as well as carotene content of the PEG-treated carrots were greater than those of freeze-dried or hot-air dried carrots. Regarding color and sensory evaluation of the dried carrots, the PEG-treated and maltodextrin-treated carrots were better than freeze-dried or hot-air dried carrots. These results suggest that drying of carrots using PEG or maltodextrin is a very efficient method because of its good rehydration capacity and minimal destruction of nutrients and cell structure.

Characteristics of viscosity and spray dried particles for several polysaccharides were studied to investigate the possibilities as wall materials for microencapsulation. Viscosities of 10% maltodextrin, 10% gum arabic, 10% dextran, 1% gum locust bean, and 1% gum karaya were 2.2 mPa.s, 9.2 mPa.s, 13.0 mPa.s, 4660.0 mPa.s, and 77.0 mPa.s, respectively. In scanning electron micrographs for spray dried polysaccharides, gum arabic had spherical shapes at 20% and 30% emulsion concentration, while trailed shapes at 40%. Maltodextrin had uniform spherical shapes at 30%, while aggregated form with various kinds of capsule sizes at 40%. Dextran had spherical shapes at 20%, while trailed fibrous shapes at over 30%. Mixed polysaccharides with gum arabic:maltodextrin (1:3, w/w) had uniform spherical shapes at 20%, 30%, and 40% with increasing diameter with increasing concentration.

Objective: The use of tannin extract and other phytochemicals as dietary additives in ruminants is becoming more popular due to their wide biological actions such as in methane mitigation, bypass of dietary protein, intestinal nematode control, among other uses. Unfortunately, some have strong astringency, low stability and bioavailability, and negatively affecting dry matter intake and digestibility. To circumvent these drawbacks, an effective delivery system may offer a promising approach to administer these extracts to the site where they are required. The objectives of this study were to encapsulate acacia tannin extract (ATE) with native starch and maltodextrin-gum arabic and to test the effect of encapsulation parameters on encapsulation efficiency, yield and morphology of the microparticles obtained as well as the effect on rumen in vitro gas production. Methods: The ATE was encapsulated with the wall materials, and the morphological features of freeze-dried microparticles were evaluated by scanning electron microscopy. The in vitro release pattern of microparticles in acetate buffer, simulating the rumen, and its effect on in vitro gas production was evaluated. Results: The morphological features revealed that maltodextrin/gum-arabic microparticles were irregular shaped, glossy and smaller, compared with those encapsulated with native starch, which were bigger, and more homogenous. Maltodextrin-gum arabic could be used up to 30% loading concentration compared with starch, which could not hold the core material beyond 15% loading capacity. Encapsulation efficiency ranged from $27.7%{\pm}6.4%$ to $48.8%{\pm}5.5%$ in starch and $56.1%{\pm}4.9%$ to $64.8%{\pm}2.8%$ in maltodextrin-gum arabic microparticles. Only a slight reduction in methane emission was recorded in encapsulated microparticles when compared with the samples containing only wall materials. Conclusion: Both encapsulated products exhibited the burst release pattern under the pH conditions and methane reduction associated with tannin was marginal. This is attributable to small loading percentages and therefore, other wall materials or encapsulation methods should be investigated.

Green peppers were dried using maltodextrin and recycled dehydration liquid as dehydrating agents, and the quality of dried green pepper powders was compared with that of freeze-dried and hot air-dried samples in terms of moisture content, color, antioxidant activity, capsaicinoid level, and sensory acceptability. The moisture content of maltodextrin-treatedgreen pepper powder was higher than that of samples prepared using recycled dehydration liquid. The lightness (L) value rose with increasing concentrations of maltodextrin powder or liquid. The antioxidant activities of pepper powders prepared using the molecular press dehydration method were similar to that of alpha-tocopherol, and better than that offreeze-dried or hot air-dried samples. Capsaicinoid levels fell with increasing concentrations of maltodextrin powder and liquid. The sensory evaluation data on green pepper powders prepared using the molecular press dehydration method were better than those obtained when freeze-dried and hot air-dried samples were evaluated. These results indicate that drying of green pepper powders using maltodextrin and recycled dehydration liquid as dehydrating agents is very efficient.

In this study, the quality characteristics of spray dried powders from unripe fig extract were investigated. The protease activities of unripe fig and peeled unripe fig extract were 0.11 unit/mL and 0.28 unit/mL, respectively. The spray dried powder of unripe fig extracts was analzed using different maltodextrin ratios (F-MD 5, 5% maltodextrin; F-MD 10, 10% maltodextrin; and F-MD 20, 20% maltodextrin). The spray-dried powder showed the highest protease activity with F-MD 10 (0.84 unit/g). The moisture content and L value of the spray-dried powder were higher than those of the freeze-dried powder. The particle diameter of the freeze-dried powder ($209.67{\mu}m$) was higher than that of the spray-dried powders ($22.18{\sim}37.33{\mu}m$). The water absorption index ranged from 0.18 to 0.40, while the water solubility index ranged from 94.40% to 98.80%. In the in vitro digestion study, spray-dried powders of the unripe fig showed a protease survival range of 16.47%~24.80%. In conclusion, it is considered appropriate to use the spray-dried powder (F-MD 10) of unripe fig as a meat tenderizer for processing food.

Stretch wrapping processes that are used to the packaging process had a serious problem of high price and treatment of used wraps. On the other hand, slip-resistant adhesive provides the advantage of simple process, low cost, and free from after-use treatment. In this research, adhesion deterioration of aqueous slip-resistant adhesive adhered to polyethylene film under the moisture condition using aqueous slip-resistant adhesive was observed by the Peel Test. Improvement of adhesive property under the moisturizing condition could be obtained by the selection of appropriate additives. As a result, introduction of maltodextrin reduced the deterioration of slip-resistant adhesion owing to the improved moisture resistance and introduction amount of 10 wt% of maltodextrin showed optimal performance.

Kohlrabi (Brassica oleracea var. gongylodes L.) slices were dehydrated with maltodextrin (MD) at concentrations of 20, 30, and 40% (w/w), and the dried samples were compared with the freeze-dried and hot-air dried samples regarding various physicochemical qualities. The MD-treated samples had better results than those of freeze-dried or hot-air dried samples in terms of rehydration ratio and color. The total phenolic content of the MD-treated sample was similar to that of the freeze-dried and higher than that of hot-air dried sample. The ascorbic acid content of the MD-treated samples was also higher than that of the hot-air dried one. These results suggest that kohlrabi can be dehydrated with MD instead of hot air.
