Yields of enzyme-resistant starch (RS) from three kinds of maize starches (Amioca, normal starch and Amylomaize VII) which were treated with 1 N HCl for 24 hr and physicochemical characteristics were investigated. Hydrolysis rate of maize starches decreased with increasing amylose content. Maximum wavelength $({\lambda}_{max})$ and iodine affinity were decreased by the acid treatment. The yields of RS increased with acid treatment up to 12 hr and then decreased. The yield of for 12 hr acid-treated Amioca increased 8 times more than untreated sample, but those of normal starch and Amylomaize VII slightly increased. Using SEM, acid-treated and autoclaved maize starches showed gel like structure, but RS had round and rod shape small particles. X-ray diffraction patterns of autoclaved starches showed amorphous structure in Amioca and B-type in normal starch and Amylomaize VII, and those of RS showed all completely crystalline structure.

To develop a method for increasing RS level in maize starch, cross-linked resistant starches treated with annealing were prepared. Maize starch and amylomaize VII were used in the study and annealed at $40{\sim}60^{\circ}C$ before cross-linking modification. To compare effect of annealing below gelatinization temperature, starches were heat treated at 70 and $100^{\circ}C$. RS contents were assayed by pancreatin-gravimetric (P/G) method. When maize starch and amylomaize VII were cross-linked at $45^{\circ}C$ and pH 11.0 by slurrying the starch on a solution of STMP(sodium trimetaphosphate), STPP(sodium tripolyphosphate), and sodium sulfate, RS content was 14.7% and 45.3%, respectively. Annealing below gelatinization temperature before cross-linking increased RS contents of prepared cross-linked starches but did not affect the swelling power. Heat treatment above gelatinization temperature increased the swelling power of cross-linked starch prepared from maize starch. The characteristics by X-ray diffractometry and scanning electron microscopy of cross-linked resistant starch were not changed by annealing.

Granular maize starch was treated with Thermus scotoductus 4-${\alpha}$-glucanotransferase (${\alpha}$-GTase), and its physicochemical properties were determined. The gelatinization and pasting temperatures of ${\alpha}$-GTase-modified starch were decreased by higher enzyme concentrations. ${\alpha}$-GTase treatment lowered the peak, setback, and [mal viscosity of the starch. At a higher level of enzyme treatment, the melting peak of the amylose-lipid complex was undetectable on the DSC thermogram. Also, ${\alpha}$-GTase-modified starch showed a slower retrogradation rate. The enzyme treatment changed the dynamic rheological properties of the starch, leading to decreases in its elastic (G') and viscous (G") moduli. ${\alpha}$-GTase-modified starch showed more liquid-like characteristics, whereas normal maize starch was more elastic and solid-like. Gel permeation chromatography of modified starch showed that amylose was degraded, and a low molecular-weight fraction with $M_w$ of $1.1{\times}10^5$ was produced. Branch chain-length (BCL) distribution of modified starch showed increases in BCL (DP>20), which could result from the glucans degraded from amylose molecules transferred to the branch chains of amylopectin by inter-/intra-molecular transglycosylation of ${\alpha}$-GTase. These new physicochemical functionalities of the modified starch produced by ${\alpha}$-GTase treatment are applicable to starch-based products in various industries.

The characteristics and yield of resistnat starch (RS) in waxy starches which were treated with 0.1N HCl were investigated. Hydrolysis rate of waxy starches were 0.32-0.88%. The yields of RS in waxy maize and waxy barley starches increased with acid treatment time up to 12hr and then decreased. The yield of RS in waxy rice starches increased with acid treatment up to 8hr and then decreased. The hydrolysis and yield of RS were different depending upon the varieties of starch source. Autoclaved normal maize starch showed a gel-like structure, but autoclaved normal maize starch showed crystal particle on the surface by SEM. The shape of autoclaved resistant starch was not different from acid treated ones. X-ray diffraction patterns of native and acid treated starches were all A-types. X-ray diffraction patterns of autoclaved waxy maize starches showed amorphous structures, however, those of RS showed all completely crystalline structure.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of processing parameters of co-rotating twin screw extruder and dry methods on the level of resistant starch (RS) and the properties of extrudate prepared from normal maize starch. The processing parameters were used 90, 110, 130$^{\circ}C$ in temperature, 25.0~30.0% in moisture content, 150, 200, 250 rpm in screw speed and hot and cool air drying and drying after refrigerating in drying methods. The barrel temperature and drying methods had affected the level of resistant starch of extrudate. RS levels of extrudates were ranged from 2.4 to 15.5% by AOAC method. The extrudates, extruded at 110$^{\circ}C$ and then stored at 4$^{\circ}C$, showed the highest level of RS level (15.5%). Water absorption index increased with increasing moisture content and peak temperatures and viscosities of extudates decreased compare to that of raw starch from 94$^{\circ}C$ to 50~65$^{\circ}C$ and from 220 to 46~98 RVU, respectively. Extudates treated in 90$^{\circ}C$ and 110$^{\circ}C$ showed strong peak at $2{\theta}=6.7{\sim}17.0^{\circ}$ by X-ray diffractometry and had ~150$^{\circ}C$ endotherm like as that of RS3 starch by differential scanning calorimetry. In case of 130$^{\circ}C$, extrudates showed strong peak at $2{\theta}=20.0^{\circ}$ and had 106$^{\circ}C$ endotherm.

The effects of high pressure homogenization (microfluidization) on physicochemical properties of normal maize and oxidized maize starch film were studied. The molecular dispersibility of amlyose and amylopectin and the disintegration of granular structure had a marked effect on the physicochemical properties of starch films. The high pressure homogenized starch films showed increased solubility and transmittance due to the absence of gelatinized starch granules. The tensile strength of starch film increased significantly with decreasing oxygen permeability after high pressure homogenization, indicating that starch molecules were more uniformly and fully dispersed during the film formation. As a result, a clear starch film with improved mechanical properties was obtained after high pressure homogenization due to the increased interactions between the uniformly dispersed starch molecules.

Effects of acid and ${\alpha}$-amylase on resistant starches including retrograded RS3 and cross-linked RS4 prepared from normal maize starch were investigated. Acid and ${\alpha}$-amylase hydrolytic patterns of RS3 were similar, while those of native starch and RS4 differed. Acid hydrolysis rate of RS3 was markedly higher at initial stage, then slowly decreased up to 20 days, whereas that of RS4 increased continuously. The sizes of acid- and ${\alpha}$-amylase-treated RS3 residues decreased, but those of RS4 remained unchanged. X-ray patterns of all treated residues did not change; however, the peak intensities increased. Swelling power of RS3 increased to 150% at $95^{\circ}C$, whereas that of RS4 differed depending on the treatment condition. Swelling power of acid-treated RS4 residue increased markedly, but that of ${\alpha}$-amylase-treated one remained constant. Gel filtration chromatography profiles of untreated RS3 and RS4 residues were similar, whereas that of acid-treated RS4 residue was different from them. RS showed different hydrolytic behavior by acid and ${\alpha}$-amylase depending on the type, and susceptibility of RS3 was higher than that of RS4.

Maize is divided into two types based on the starch composition of the endosperm in the seed, normal maize(or non-waxy maize) and waxy maize. In this study, genetic diversity and population structure were investigated among 80 waxy maize and normal inbred lines(40 waxy maize inbred lines and 40 normal maize inbred lines) using 50 SSR markers. A total of 242 alleles were identified at all the loci with an average of 4.84 and a range between 2 and 9 alleles per locus. The gene diversity values varied from 0.420 to 0.854 with an average of 0.654. The PIC values varied from 0.332 to 0.838 with an average of 0.602. To evaluate the population structure, STRUCTURE 2.2 program was employed to confirm genetic structure. The 80 waxy and normal maize inbred lines were separated with based on the membership probability threshold 0.8, and divided into groups I, II and admixed group. The 13 waxy maize inbred lines were assigned to group I. The 45 maize inbred lines including 7 waxy maize inbred lines and 38 normal maize inbred lines were assigned to group II. The 22 maize inbred lines with 20 waxy maize inbred lines and 2 normal maize inbred lines were contained in the admixed group. The cluster tree generated using the described SSR markers recognized three major groups at 31.7% genetic similarity. Group I included 40 waxy maize inbred lines and 11 normal maize inbred lines, and Group II included 27 normal maize inbred lines. Group III consist of only 2 normal maize inbred lines. The present study has demonstrated the utility of SSR analysis for the study of genetic diversity and the population structure among waxy and normal maize inbred lines. The information obtained from the present studies would be very useful for designing efficient maize breeding programs in Maize Experiment Station, Kangwon Agricultural Research and Extension Services.

Effects of native and RS-3 type resistant starches prepared from autoclaved-cooled amylomaize VII(AVII) and normal maize starches(NMS) on the rheological and baking properties of wheat flour dough and quality of breads were investigated. In farinogram, water absorption and dough development time were increased, but stability was reduced by the addition of RS. The addition of native starches or resistant starch made from AVII to wheat flour improved the total volume and specific loaf volume of bread compared with the control(no addition), but the addition of NMS-RS reduced those. During the storage of bread at room temperature, the moisture content of control was decreased but those of native starch- or RS-added breads remained constantly. AVII-RS- or NMS-RS-added bread was evaluated to have good overall acceptability compared with control by elementary school students. The addition of enzyme-resistant starch to bread regardless of botanical sources of starch not only improved the overall acceptability and nutritional benefits but also improved the sensory acceptability.

A study was conducted to investigate the effect of ACAMS(Autoclaved-cooled amylomaize VII) and ACNMS(Autoclaved-cooled normal maize starch) containing resistant starch(RS) on ASW (Australian wheat flour) rheology and noodle quality. The water absorption in farinograph increased with the addition of ACAMS and ACNMS, but the dough stability decreased with the addition. The ACNMS added flours showed the highest initial pasting temperature and the lowest peak viscosity in RVA. The addition of ACAMS and ACNMS were not effective on the weight and volume of cooked noodles during cooking time for 5 min. However, as the cooking time increased, noodle weight and volume were the highest in control(no RS added flour) and the lowest in ACNMS added flours. Noodle texture was evaluated using rheometer. The hardness of RS(ACAMS, ACNMS) added noodles was higher than that of control. Cohesiveness was significantly different between control and ACAMS added noodles, but the cohesiveness of ACNMS added noodles was similar to other noodles. The elasticity of ACNMS added noodles in sensory test was lower than that of control but the smoothness and overall acceptibility were higher.
