This study investigated the effects of the mixing ratio of tofu paste and normal corn starch on the characteristics of gluten-free (GF) muffins. Soft wheat flour for wheat flour-based muffins (control) was replaced with the mixture of tofu paste and normal corn starch (NCS). The mixing ratios of tofu paste and NCS were 1:6.4 (S100), 1:5.1 (S80), 1:3.8 (S60), 1:2.6 (S40), 1:1.3 (S20), and 1:0 (S00), based on their total solid contents. GF muffins of S40- S100 developed the porous, sponge-like structure without crumb collapse. The weight and baking loss did not significantly differ in the control and GF muffins. By decreasing NCS in GF muffin batters, the moisture content, firmness, and crumb redness/yellowness of GF muffins increased, while their volume, specific volume, and crumb lightness decreased. Nevertheless, these characteristics (except for firmness) of S100 were much closer to those of the control. In the preference test, however, S60 (possessing lower attributes than S100 and S80) was most favored among GF muffins, and was very similar in all evaluations (except for appearance) to the control. Overall, the mixture of tofu paste and NCS would be a potential material to replace soft wheat flour in muffins.

The objective of this study was to develop a microcapsule by the entrapment of Ainsliaeaacerifolia extract (AAE) in native starch and citrate starch matrices through spray-drying and dry heating reaction. AAE microcapsules were assessed based on recovery, encapsulation capacity, FT-IR, FE-SEM, swelling power, solubility, releasing pattern of AAE from microcapsules, and antioxidant activity. Upon increasing the addition levels of AAE and adding citric acid in the pre-emulsion mixtures, the spray-drying recovery and encapsulation capacity of AAE microcapsules increased. AAE microcapsules exhibited irregular shapes due to excessive shrinkage of their spheres. FT-IR spectra implied the formation of ester groups between starch molecules and either citric acid or phenolic compounds in AAE. Swelling powers and solubility of AAE microcapsules were significantly higher for citrate starch matrix (relative to native starch). The effects of temperature and enzyme hydrolysis on AAE releasing patterns were similar over AAE microcapsules prepared in this study. AAE microcapsules facilitated the free radical scavenging in an aqueous (relative to alcoholic) reaction system. Overall, the entrapment of AAE into the matrices from native starch and citrate starch would be one of the possible ways to expand the utilization of raw materials, by-product, and extract from Ainsliaeaacerifolia in food industries.

This study was aimed to develop a gruel using rice extrudates and to evaluate physicochemical properties of Tarakjuk (milk porridge; MP) prepared with milk (M) and rice powder (RP, control), rice extrudate (RE), or enzyme treated rice extrudates (ETR). Pasting property of ETR was significantly different from those of RP or RE with significantly low peak viscosity, breakdown and setback values in the ETR sample. Viscosity of MP prepared with ETR was also significantly low, as compared to that of control (> 900 cP). The total solids and spreadability of MP with ETR was higher than those with RP or RE. Hunter color values varied significantly depending on enzyme treatment levels in ETR samples with enzyme dose-dependent increase in b-value. Average starch digestibility of ETR sample was higher by 10.2% than that of control sample. DPPH radical scavenging activities of ETR samples were greater than those of RE or RP. These results indicated that ETR could be beneficial for preparing easy-drink and diet food with higher starch digestibility and fluidity, especially for gastric tube-fed patients.

The objective of this study was to determine rheological properties of cold water-soluble potato starch. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) study showed that granule size of cold water-soluble potato starch was 10-60 μm, and shape was dimple in the middle, likely due to starch shrinkage after swelling during treatment. Cold water-soluble starch was prepared by ethanol (60%) and 3 M NaOH. The cold water solubility of native potato starch was low at 4.43±2.9%, whereas the solubility of cold water-soluble starch was high at 81.01±0.9%. The DSC diagram showed a gelatinization peak temperature of native starch but no such peak for treated starch. In dynamic tests, cold water-soluble starch showed decreased storage modulus (G') and loss modulus (G'') with increasing temperature, while native starch showed a continuous increase in G' and G''. This results indicated that cold water-soluble starch showed different granule structure and rheological properties.

Recently, amorphous granular starch (AGS) or non-crystalline granular starch (NGS) is of great interest because it has specific physicochemical properties compared to native starches. Various approaches have been taken to prepare gelatinized starch while still maintaining its granular shape. The granular cold-water soluble starch (GCWS) can be prepared by alcoholic-alkaline treatment or by using liquid ammonia and ethanol. However, these starches exhibit significant deformation and shrinking, and chemical treatments may raise safety issues for their potential food applications. Therefore, in this study, the optimization of preparation method for amorphous granular potato starch (AGPS) was investigated using ethanol and heat treatments. Response surface methodology (RSM) and central composite design (CCD) were used to find the optimum conditions for AGPS preparation based on granule integrity and birefringence. Optimum conditions were 53.3% ethanol and 93.87oC heat treatment for 15 min. Prepared AGPS maintained its granular structure and lost birefringence, crystallinity, and DSC amylopectin melting peak, suggesting that proper AGPS could be made using optimized conditions.

This study was conducted to determine the reasonable soaking period of glutinous rice for laver Bugak (Korean traditional fried dishes) processing and to identify the sensory characteristics of three kinds of laver Bugak made with different starch pastes: GRice_1d using glutinous rice soaked for 1 day; GRice_7d using glutinous rice fermented for 7 days; and Wheat using flour. Descriptive analysis was performed by 10 trained panelists, and the 92 consumers evaluated the overall acceptance (OL), acceptance of appearance (APPL), odor (ODL), flavor (FLL), and texture (TXTL) of the samples using a 9-point hedonic scale. From the measurement result by scanning electron microscope (SEM), there were differences in the surface characteristics among soaking period for 1 day and 7 days. Ten panelists were trained, and they evaluated the appearance, odor/aroma, flavor/taste, texture/mouth feel, and after taste attributes of these samples. 36 attributes were generated by panelists and 12 attribute were significantly different across products (p<0.05). It was found that the Grice_7d sample was characterized by mouthfeel of crispiness and uniformity of bubbles, and the Wheat sample was characterized by surface of roughness, mouthfeel of crispiness and adhesiveness, relatively. And the Grice_1d sample was characterized by surface of roughness, mouthfeel of roughness, hardness, cohesiveness, toughness, and adhesiveness.

Taro is an alkaline food containing a lot of protein, vitamin C, and minerals. Matang is a food prepared by frying a starch-containing material in oil and glazing with honey or starch syrup and it is widely enjoyed as simple snack or dessert in Asian countries including Korea. In this study, to increase the usability of taro having high nutritional values, taro matang was prepared by varying the types of starch while the physical and sensory properties were investigated. The taro matang was prepared by mixing corn starch, sweet potato starch, potato starch, and sticky rice starch with taro. The chromaticity of taro matang samples were measured, and the results showed that the corn starch taro matang was the brightest (L=40.48±1.17) and the potato starch matang was the darkest (L=33.81±1.33). The pH of the taro matang samples were within the range of 6.16-6.26 with no significant difference. The physical properties of the prepared taro matang samples were measured. The hardness and fracturability of the sweet potato starch taro matang were the highest at 3,414.79 and 1,570.03, respectively. The springiness and chewiness of the corn starch taro matang were the highest at 0.95 and 1,773.24, respectively. With regard to sensory properties and preference, the taro matang samples having lower hardness and brighter chromaticity were preferred. The preference for the flavor, crispness, softness, taste, and overall preference of the potato starch taro matang were the highest. Therefore, taro matang prepared as snack or dessert by mixing with potato starch may satisfy consumers’ demand.

Production method of cycloamylose (CA) has been developed using native starch as an economically more beneficial substrate than commercial amylose. However, the yield of CA products from starch is lower than that from commercial amylose. Thus, the objective of this study was to improve the yield of CA products using high amylose corn starch (HACS) that has the highest amylose content (approximately 70%) among native starches. The reaction conditions of isoamylase were optimized to maximize debranching yield of HACS. After debranching, CA was produced by the action of Thermusaquaticus 4-α-glucanotransferase (TAαGTase) for various reaction times. Remaining linear glucans were removed by glucoamylase under the optimum conditions. As a result, the maximum conversion yield of CA from HACS was71% that was 2.2-fold higher than that from rice starch (e.g. Ilpummi; 32%). The degree of polymerization (DP) of CA products ranged from 7 to 41, with DP26 showing the highest yield. This DP profile was very similar as that of CA produced using commercial amylose. Also, a significant amount of larger cyclic glucans were produced from HACS, which was not the case for CA from rice starch. These results were attributed to the unique molecular structure of HACS such as high amylose content and long branch chain length. The high yield production of CA from HACS could be beneficial for industrial applications.

As one of the staple crops, rice has been widely applied to value-added products, giving the food industry new avenues of use. Although the quality attributes of various rice products have been reported, there is a lack of detailed information on the rheological behaviors of rice products during digestion that are related to their bioaccessibility in the human body. In this study, three rice varieties with different amylose contents were utilized to produce flours and extruded noodles. In-vitro methods simulating starch digestion processes were then established to monitor their oral-gastric-intestinal rheological behaviors. The rice flour with high amylose content exhibited lower values of water absorption index/swelling power and higher pasting parameters that were in good agreement with the Mixolab thermo-mechanical results. The extruded rice noodles showed lower cooking loss and higher hardness with increasing levels of amylose. When the in-vitro viscosities of rice flours and noodles were measured using a rotational rheometer with the custom-made starch cell, their viscosities had a tendency to decrease as the in-vitro digestion progressed. Specifically, the rice samples with high amylose content exhibited higher viscosity than those with low amylose content under the simulated oral, gastric, and intestinal conditions. Hence, this study was conducted to investigate the physicochemical and in-vitro rheological properties of rice flours and extruded noodles with different amylose content. The results provided a promising opportunity for the food industry to study in-vitro digestion of rice-based products with the advantages of being more rapid and less expensive.

The objective of this study was to increase starch extraction efficiency from domestic potato by five kinds of foodgrade cellulases (mixture of β-glucanases, pectinase, cellulase, hemicelullase, and β-glucosdiase). Cellulase-treated potato had a maximum of 40% higher starch extraction yield than non-enzyme treated potato. It turned out that the shape and structure of cellulose-treated and nonenzyme-treated potatoes were the same. The average particle size of cellulose-treated potato starch was smaller than non-enzyme treated potato. Interestingly, the small starch granular (<10 μm particle) was shown in extracted starch from cellulose-treated potato. Rapid viscosity analysis showed that starch from cellulase treated potato had lower pasting temperature than starch from nonenzyme-treated potato. The range of the gelatinization temperature (49-62oC) of starches from cellulose-treated potato was broader than that of starches from nonenzyme-treated potato. Therefore, the results of this study confirm that cellulase plays an important role in the extraction of starch from the potato and physicochemical characteristics of potato starch.

전분과 구연산 사이의 다중 에스테르화반응에 의한 starch citrate의 저항전분 함량에 대한 반응압출성형조건들의 영향을 조사하였으며, 이들의 페이스팅 점도 특성을 조사하여 산업적 활용도가 높은 starch citrate를 제조할 수 있는 반응조건을 탐색하였다. 반응압출성형에 의한 starch citrate를 제조하기 위해 성형노즐을 제거한 쌍축압출성형기를 사용하여 반응온도, 스크류 회전속도, 반응혼합물의 쌍축압출성형기 통과횟수를 변수로 하였다. 반응온도가 높아지면서, 스크류 회전속도가 느려지면서, 쌍축압출성형기 통과횟수가 증가하면서 starch citrate의 저항전분 함량은 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다. 40% 구연산 농도의 반응혼합물을 150oC와 스크류 회전속도 10 rpm의 쌍축압출성형기를 5회 통과시킬 때 90%의 저항전분을 보유한 starch citrate를 얻을 수 있었다. 또한 40% 구연산 농도의 반응혼합물을 150oC와 스크류 회전속도 50 rpm의 쌍축압출성형기를 5회 통과시킬 때 58%의 저항전분을 보유한 starch citrate를 얻을 수 있었으며, 이는 유의적인 페이스팅 점도를 발달시켜 높은 저항전분 함량에도 불구하고 가공적성이 우수한 starch citrate를 얻을 수 있었다. 또한 starch citrate의 제조 시 전통적으로 사용되는 컨백션 오븐 보다는 쌍축압출성형기를 사용하는 것이 가공적성이 우수한 starch citrate를 제조할 수 있을 것으로 보인다. 따라서 본 연구에서 보고한 50%(s.b) 이상의 저항전분을 보유하면서도 페이스팅 점도 특성을 잃지 않은 starch citrate와 쌍축압출성형기를 활용한 starch citrate 제조기법들은 산업적 활용도 높을 것으로 예상되며 기존의 저항전분 소재들을 대체할 수 있는 잠재력이 높은 저항전분 소재일 것으로 생각된다.

The baking properties of gluten-free rice bread with different percentages of corn starch and waxy corn starch were investigated. The specific gravity and color (L, a, b) of the dough as well as the appearance, color (L, a, b) and texture of the rice bread were analyzed. Replacement of rice flour with 1, 2.5, 5, 7.5 and 10% corn starch did not have a significant effect on the specific gravity and color of the dough. The volume and specific volume of the rice bread showed an increasing trend as the amount of added corn starch increased. The chewiness, gumminess and hardness of the rice bread showed a decreasing trend as the amount of added corn starch increased. Replacement of rice flour with 1, 5 and 10% waxy corn starch did not have a significant effect on the specific gravity and color of the dough. The color of the rice bread showed an increasing trend as the amount of added waxy corn starch increased. These results suggest that replacement of rice flour with 7.5% corn starch or 1% waxy corn starch is effective for gluten-free rice bread.

이 연구는 2012년과 2013년 동절기에 아시아 배 품종인 신고와 추황배를 공시하여 생리화학적인 상태의 변화를 평가하기 위해 실시하였다. 추황배는 줄기에서 높은 수분부족과 수분함량을 보여 신고와 구별되었다. 겨울동안 줄기와 눈에서 화학성분이 다양하게 변화하였으며, 미네랄 성분은 줄기보다 눈에서 높게 나타났다. 두 품종 모두 겨울동안 줄기에서 포도당, 과당, 갈락토오스가 증가하였기 때문에 기관 발달과정에서의 식물의 생장반응과 온도의 변화에 따른 신진대사의 수준이 일정하게 유지되었다. 신진대사의 모든 과정은 상호 연관되며 그들 사이에 접합이 방해하는 이유는 시스템 전체의 안정성을 저하시키는 대사산물을 축적하기 때문으로 판단된다.

감자가루의 페이스팅 점도 특성에 영향을 미치는 감자전분의 특성 요인을 결정하기 위해 6품종의 황색육질의 감자로부터 제조된 감자가루의 성분분석과 페이스팅 점도 특성을 조사하고 감자가루로부터 추출한 감자전분의 물리화학적 특성을 분석하여 감자가루의 페이스팅 점도특성과 상관관계를 분석하였다. 감자가루의 총 전분 함량은 이의 페이스팅 점도 특성치들과 높은 상관성을 보유하고 있었다.감자전분의 아밀로오스 함량은 감자가루의 최고점도와 음의 상관관계를 나타내었으나 인 함량은 감자가루의 최저점도, 붕괴점도, 최종점도, 및 노화점도들과 유의적인 상관성을 존재하였다. 또한 감자전분의 인 함량에 의해 높은 영향을 받는 팽윤력은 인 함량과 감자가루의 페이스팅 점도특성들 사이에서 관찰된 상관관계와 유사하였다. 감자전분의 아밀로펙틴 분지사슬 분포에 있어 F1 및 F3 분획 분포들은 감자가루의 페이스팅 점도 특성치들과 높은 상관성을나타내었다. 감자전분의 페이스팅 점도 특성치들 중 최종점도는 감자가루의 페이스팅 점도 특성치들 모두와 유의적으로 높은 상관성을 보유하였다. 본 연구의 결과들을 종합할 때 감자전분의 아밀로오스 함량, 인 함량, 팽윤력, 아밀로펙틴의 짧은 분지사슬(DPn<25) 분포와 감자전분의 최종점도가 감자가루의 페이스팅 점도 특성을 예측할 수 있는중요한 특성요인일 것으로 판단된다.

쌀 전분을 포함하는 크림수프 배합비에 친수성 콜로이드인 구아검(guar gum)의 첨가가 수프의 품질특성에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 쌀 전분에 구아검을 일부(10~30%) 대체하여 배합한 크림수프의 페이스트 특성을 신속점도측정기(RVA)를 사용하여 측정한 결과 구아검의 사용에 호화개시온도가 낮아지고 최고점도, trough 점도, 최종점도가 증가하였다. 크림수프의 수분 함량은 쌀 전분에 구아검을 10~30% 수준으로 대체한 크림수프에서 약간 높게 나타났으며 색도는 구아검의 대체수준이 증가함에 따라 명도가 약간 감소하였다. 쌀 전분 크림수프의 점도는 옥수수 전분을 첨가한 수프보다 약간 높은 반면에 감자, 고구마, 밀, 타피오카 전분을 사용하여 제조한 크림수프에 비해서는 다소 낮게 나타났으며, 쌀 전분에 구아검의 부분적인 대체에 의해 점도의 상승효과를 나타내었다. 쌀 전분 크림수프는 쌀 전분에 구아검을 일부 대체한 혼합사용에 의해 크림수프의 외관, 향, 맛, 입안의 감촉 등 관능적 기호성을 향상시킬 수 있음을 제시해 주었다.

연구에서는 전분질 원료를 달리한 18종류의 입국을 제조하고 당화력을 측정, 각각의 입국과 동일한 원료를 첨가하여 제조한 막걸리의 품질 특성과 관능검사 및 저장성 실험 결과를 분석하였다. 각각의 입국으로 제조한 막걸리의 에탄올 함량은 9-13%까지 고루 분포되었으며 제조한 막걸리 No. 5(현미) 군에서 13%로 가장 높게 측정되어 막걸리의 에탄올 생성에 있어 현미군이 유리할 것으로 사료된다. 막걸리의 총 당량은 막걸리 No. 6(찹쌀) 군이 11.3%, 환원당 또한 마찬가지로 4.8의 가장 높은 수치를 보여 막걸리의 당 생성에 있어 찹쌀군이 유리할 것으로 사료된다. pH는 막걸리 No. 2(밀+보리) 군이 3.6으로 가장 낮게 측정되었으며 총산은 6.0-9.1 사이로 고루 분포하였으며, 막걸리를 5oC에 보관 하였을 때 산도의 증가는 크지 않았으며 28oC에서 보관 하였을 때 3일 동안 총산이 급격하게 증가 하였지만 전분질 원료간의 특징적인 차이는 보이지 않았다.

국내 벼 품종 중 아밀로스 함량과 아밀로펙틴 조성이 다양한 품종의 막걸리 특성을 분석하여 막걸리 품질 고급화 및 다양화를 위한 자료를 제공하고자 본 실험을 수행한 결과는 다음과 같았다. ‘고아미2호’, ‘고아미3호’, ‘고아미4호’는 품종별 전분 특성과 호화 특성 분석 결과, 낮은 아밀로펙틴 단쇄 비율과 높은 아밀로스 함량에 기인하여 점성이 낮게 나타남을 확인할 수 있었고, 높은 호화개시온도로 인해 가열흡수비와 팽창용적이 각각 2.09~2.13, 25.02~26.78 ㎤로 다른 품종에 비해 유의하게 낮아, 막걸리 발효에 적합한 전분의 호화가 이루어지지 않음을 확인할 수 있어, 막걸리 제조를 위해 호화를 증진시키기 위한 가공 방법 연구가 필요할 것으로 판단되었다. 품종별 막걸리의 품질 특성은 ‘설갱’, ‘백진주’, ‘일품’의 알코올 함량은 17.3~18.0% 범위로 통계적인 유의차는 없었으나, ‘고아미2호’와 ‘고아미3호’, ‘고아미4호’는 10.0~10.5%로 상대적으로 낮은 알코올 함량을 나타내었고, 당도 또한 ‘설갱’, ‘백진주’, ‘일품’에 비해 절반 가까이 낮았으나, pH와 산도는 품종 간 유의한 차이를 나타내지 않았다. 또한 원료곡에서 높은 난소화성 다당류 함량을 지닌 ‘고아미4호’ 등은 막걸리에서도 역시 난소화성 다당류 함량이 유의하게 높아, 향후 막걸리 제품으로 이용 시 건강 기능성에 기여할 가능성이 높을 것으로 기대되었다. 결과적으로 아밀로펙틴 조성과 난소화성 다당류 함량에서 차이를 보인 ‘고아미2호’, ‘고아미3호’, ‘고아미4호’ 막걸리의 높은 제조수율과 난소화성 다당류 함량 및 낮은 알코올 함량과 당도를 확인하였으며, 지속적인 발효 공정 연구를 통해 국내 기능성 품종을 이용한 고품질 막걸리 개발이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.
