This study was carried out to investigate the physicochemical properties of mung bean starch and the texture of cold-stored (5℃ for 0, 24, 48, and 72 hours) mung bean starch gels added with soy bean oil (0, 2, 4, 6%). The swelling power of mung bean starch added with soy bean oil did not significantly change, whereas solubility increased significantly. Soluble carbohydrate content of mung bean starch added with soy bean oil decreased without any significant differences, whereas soluble amylose content decreased significantly. In RVA viscosity, pasting temperature and peak viscosity of mung bean starch added with soy bean oil were not significantly different, whereas minimum viscosity decreased and breakdown and consistency increased significantly. In RVA viscosity, there were no differences according to concentration of soy bean oil. DSC thermograms show that onset temperature of mung bean starch added with soy bean oil did not significantly change, whereas the enthalpy increased in the case of 4% and 6% oil addition. Rupture properties of freshly prepared mung bean starch gels added with soy bean oil increased in the case of 2% and 4% oil addition, and oil addition to mung bean starch gels suppressed changes in rupture properties during cold storage. There were no significant differences in the texture of freshly prepared mung bean starch gels added with soy bean oil, whereas hardness, chewiness, and gumminess of cold-stored mung bean starch gels added with soy bean oil decreased. In the above textural charactristics, there were no differences due to concentration of soy bean oil. Thus, the addition of 2-4% soy bean oil to mung bean starch is appropriate for improving the quality characteristics of cold-stored mung bean starch gels.
