Com and rice starches were physically modified by planetary mill. While native starches showed high peak viscosities (1,001 and 563 cp), it decreased largely (42 and 20 cp for rice and com starch, respectively) after 2 hr of physical modification. When two starches were co-ground, peak viscosities decreased more largely than single ground one only in 30 min, indicating the pasting properties could be easily changed by co-grinding. Especially, the higher the amount of com starch, the viscosity decreased more largely, which means that paste stability could be controlled also by changing the ratio of com and rice starch. Mean particle size increased with physical modification time since particles became spread because of shear force. There were also changes in surface morphology after physical modification. Fluid property, such as mean time to avalanche (MTA), was improved (from $6.16{\pm}0.47$ and $8.37{\pm}1.23\;sec$ to $5.47{\pm}0.78$ and $5.26{\pm}1.37\;sec$ for rice and com starch, respectively) by physical modification. Pasting property, such as swelling power, was also improved by physical modification. These mean that native starches can be applied to both conventional powder and new paste-food industry more efficiently by physical modification.

Physicochemical properties of hydroxypropylated rice starches were investigated. Swelling power of hydroxypropylated rice starch increased at relatively lower temperature than native rice starch. Solubility of hydroxypropylated rice starch was lower (1.9-13.4%) than that of native rice starch (2.2-13.8%), and increased with increasing amount of propylene oxide. Pasting temperature ($66.2-70.8^{\circ}C$) and peak viscosity (2,843-3,395cp) of hydroxypropylated rice starch were lower than those of native starch ($71.6^{\circ}C,\;3,976\;cp$) and decreased with increasing amount of propylene oxide, regardless of reaction time. DSC thermal transitions of hydroxypropylated rice starches shifted toward lower temperature. Amylopectin-melting enthalpy of hydroxypropylated rice starch decreased (11.8-9.8J/g) with increasing amount of propylene oxide and was lower than that of native starch (11.9 J/g). These results indicate hydroxypropylation lowered swelling power and gelatinization temperatures of rice starch, because internal bonds of rice starch molecules were sterically weaken by substituted hydroxypropyl groups.

Physicohemical properties of dual-modified rice starches, cross-linked (with $POCl_{3}$) and hydroxypropylated (with propylene oxide) rice starches, were studied. Rice starch was cross-linked using $POCl_{3}$ (0.005%, 0.02% (v/w)) at 45$^{\circ}C$ for 2 hr and then hydroxypropylated using propylene oxide (2%, 6%, 12% (v/w)) at 45$^{\circ}C$ for 24 hr, respectively. Swelling power, solubility, thermal properties (DSC) and pasting properties (RVA) of cross-linked and hydroxypropylated (CLHP) rice starches were determined. Swelling power of CLHP rice starch increased at relatively lower temperature than native rice starch. Solubility of CLHP rice starch was lower than that of native rice starch. Peak viscosity of CLHP rice starch was lower than that of native starch while holding strength and final viscosity were increased with modification. Breakdown value was lower and setback value was higher than native rice starch. DSC thermal transitions of CLHP rice starch shifted toward lower temperature. Amylopectin-melting enthalpy of CLHP rice starch decreased, whereas it was not affected by the amount of $POCl_{3}$.

Hydroxypropylated starches and acetylated starches were prepared by reaction of potato starch with propylene oxide and acetic anhydride, respectively and then degree of retrogradation and swelling power were investigated in different pHs and temperature. The extent of retrogradation determined by glucoamylase method during freeze-thaw treatment and storage in low temperature $(0{\sim}5^{\circ}C)$ showed that modified potato starches were slowly retrograded as the increase of degree of substitution. The order of the retrogradation tendencies in different pHs were pH 4>pH 6>pH 8>pH 10. Retrogradation of hydroxypropylated potato starches were less than that of acetylated potato starches. Swelling power of starches were influenced more by the temperature than by the pH. The order of the swelling power tendencies in different pHs were pH 10>pH 2>pH 8>pH 4>pH 6.

Physicochemical properties and aging of chestnut, Castanea cretana(Eungi), starch were investigated. The starch granules were irregular oval shape with the ratio of short and long axis of 1 : 1.4 and the size of $2.9-21.4{\mu}$ (average $10\;{\mu})$). The starch showed a typical B-type X-type diffraction pattern. Amylose content and water binding capacity were 22.7% and 81.5%, respectively. The optical transmittance of 0.1% starch suspension increased rapidly from $55^{\circ}C$. The swelling power of the starch repidly increased betwen $55^{\circ}C$ and $60^{\circ}C$, and its increase slowed down thereafter. Amylograms of starch at 5% and 6% concentrations indicated that the starch was stable against heat and shear force. The viscosity at 6% concentration was over twice higher than that at lower concentration. The time constant(reciprocal of rate constant) for 45% starch gel stored at $21^{\circ}C$ was 1.68 days.

Starch was isolated from 4-year-old and 6-year-old ginseng roots and its physical and chemical characteristics were studied. The results obtained were summarized as follows. 1. The shape of ginseng starch granules was polygonal and rounded with its granule size ranging from 2.0 to 7.5$\mu$. The swelling power of 4-year-old ginseng starch was much greater than that of 6-year old ginseng starch. Gelatinization pattern showed that 6-year-old ginseng starch gelatinized rapidly at $65^{\circ}C$, whereas 4-year-old starch continued to gelatinize, without having a definite gelatinization temperature as temperature increased 3. Amylogram of ginseng starch showed that gelatinization initiated at 61$^{\circ}C$ and was completed at 88$^{\circ}C$ with its viscosity reaching at 810 B.U. 4. The amylose contents were 32% and 9% for 4-year-old and 6-year-old ginseng starch, respectively. 5. X-ray diffraction analyses indicated that there were some structural differences between 4-year-old and 6-year-old ginseng starch.

This study investigated starch properties of 'Daehak waxy corn (DWC)' with different harvest times. The DWCs were harvested at 4 days before suitable time (BST), suitable time (ST) and 4 days after suitable time (AST). As harvest time was delayed, starch yield and amylopectin content of DWC starch increased from 43.21 to 52.73%, and from 90.79 to 92.83% based on dry weight, respectively. As harvest time was postponed, enzymatic digestibility and water solubility of DWC starch decreased from 81.43 to 80.58%, and from 10.23 to 9.23%. However, water binding capacity and swelling power of DWC starch increased from 227.94 to 244.88%, and from 24.75 to 29.74%, respectively. Retrogradation viscosity of starch was the lowest in DWC harvested at AST. There was a high correlation coefficient among starch properties of DWC, such as starch yield, enzymatic digestibility, water binding capacity, swelling power, water solubility and retrogradation viscosity (p<0.01). As harvest time was deferred, enzymatic digestibility, water solubility and retrogradation viscosity decreased; however, amylopectin content increased, and water binding capacity and swelling power significantly increased with increasing amylopectin content.

Starch granules of cow pea were oval with their sizes of $6-22{\mu}$m. X-ray diffraction pattern of starch granules showed some crystallinity at $2{\theta}$ $15^{\circ}$, $17.1^{\circ}$, $18.1^{\circ}$, $22.9^{\circ}$. The blue value of starch was 0.370, amylose contents 28.1% and water binding capacity 70.6%. Swelling power of the starch increased rapidly from $65^{\circ}C$ to $75^{\circ}C$ thereafter increased less rapidly. Solubility showed the same pattern as the swelling power. Optical transmittance of 0.2% starch suspension was increased rapidly from $70^{\circ}C$ and the gelatinization between $70^{\circ}C$ and $90^{\circ}C$ was single stage. Amylogram of 4% starch solution showed no peak viscosity but 6% starch solution showed peak viscosity.

Physicochemical properties and gelatinization patterns of purple-fleshed sweet potato starch were studied. Shape of starch granule was round and polygonal, X-ray diffraction pattern was Ca-type. Amylose content was 14.4% which was lower than that of other sweet potato starch. Water binding capacity was 82.54%, swelling power and solubility at 8$0^{\circ}C$ were 27.94% and 15.35%, respectively. Initial temperature of gelatinization was 72$^{\circ}C$ using Brabender/Visco/Amylograph, consistency and setback were lower than those of other sweet potato starch. The peak temperature and enthalpy determined by DSC were 68.1$^{\circ}C$, 1.24cal/g, respectively. The transmittance of starch dispersions in alkaline solutions increased with NaOH concentration up to 0.17N, and then changed slowly at 0.19N or above. The apparent viscosities were similar to the transmittance of starch dispersions in alkaline solutions, but drastically increased above 0.21N.

To develop a production method for modified starches with less pollution, pH adjustment and gamma irradiation were applied to commerical corn starch. Blue values were significantly decreased , while alkali number, optical transmittance and solubility markedly increased when gamma irradiation was applied to pH 2 adjusted corn starch. Water binding capacity and swelling power at pH 5 were the highest among the samples. Gelatinization viscosity was considerably affected by gamma irradiation and pH of the starch. Gamma irradiation of pH 2 adjusted starch showed the lowest peak viscosity and the best cooling stability among the tested samples . Therefore, the production of modified starch with low viscosity as well as with sufficient viscosity stability seems feasible by controlling the pH of the starch and gamma irrdiation.
