This study compared the physicochemical and gelatinization properties of naked barley, tetrastichum barley, and waxy barley. Compared to tetrastichum barley and waxy barley, naked barley had shorter and rounder grains with a 1.43 length/ width ratio. Tetrastichum barley had lower crude protein, crude lipid, and crude ash content and higher amylose content compared to naked barley and waxy barley. The L, a, b color values of waxy barley were significantly higher than those of naked barley and tetrastichum barley. The water absorption index (WAI) and the water soluble index (WSI) were highest in waxy barley. The X-ray diffraction pattern was type A in all samples, and the peak intensity was highest in waxy barley. The maximum viscosity, cooling viscosity, breakdown, and setback of amylogram properties were the highest in tetrastichum barley. The thermal properties through the differential scanning calorimeter showed that the waxy barley had higher values of the onset, peak, conclusion temperature and enthalpy (?H). In conclusion, the variety of barley influenced the physicochemical and gelatinization properties, which could be important factors in the manufacture of processed foods. These results would thus useful inputs for the manufacturing of these foods using barley.

The relationship of in vitro starch digestibility and gel strength was investigated at various concentrations (10-30%) of rice cultivars with different amylose contents (27.9, 17.9, and 5.2%). As the rice flour concentration increased, predicted glycemic index decreased, but gel strength increased regardless of amylose contents. Gel strength correlated strongly with amylose content, whereas in vitro starch digestibility was more highly affected by rice flour concentration than by amylose contents. Moreover, the impact of degree of gelatinization on in vitro starch digestibility of high amylose rice was also examined in terms of structural features and rheological properties. The digestion rate of fully gelatinized flour was 1.7 times higher than that of native flour, while the disrupted structure with a different gelatinization degree during starch digestion was visually demonstrated through the X-ray diffraction and molecular distribution analysis. The rice flour changed from an A-type to a V-type pattern and showed difference in crystalline melting. The low molecular weight distribution increased with increasing degree of gelatinization during starch digestion. The apparent viscosity also increased with degree of gelatinization. These results demonstrated that the starch digestibility of rice was more affected by concentration than by amylose content, as well as by the degree of gelatinization due to structural difference.

This study evaluated the hydration, gelatinization, and saccharification properties of rice processing for beverage development. The properties of rice were studied on 10 rice cultivars (Samkwang, Ilpum, Seolgaeng, Anda, Dasan-1, Goami-4, Danmi, American rice, Chinese rice, and Thai rice) and employing four kinds of pre-treatment methods (dry grain, wet grain, dry flour, and wet flour). The results showed that moisture content of rice was between 11.88~15.26%. Increase in soaking time along with highest water absorption was noted in American rice cultivar (46.81%). The water binding capacity of Thai rice was higher when compared to that of other rice flours. In addition, solubility and swelling power of rice were 4.52~26.65% and 0.19~2.05%, respectively. The amylose content of Goami-4 was higher in rice processing. Using a rapid visco analyzer (RVA), the initial pasting temperature of Danmi cultivar was found to be the highest; the peak viscosities of Anda cultivar and Dasan-1 cultivar, and Chinese rice were higher than of those of other rice flours. After saccharification, the pH, soluble solids content, and reducing sugar content of rice processed through different pre-treatment methods were in the range of 6.22~7.08, 4.67~16.07 °Brix, and 0.35~11.67% (w/w), respectively. In terms of color values, the L-value of dry grain, a-value of wet (grain, flour), and b-value of dry sample (grain, flour) were found to be the highest. Assessment of various factors and cultivars characteristics of the raw grains are of importance in the development of rice beverage.

This study is carried out in order to develop food materials for the promotion of rice consumption. In this study, we researched the physicochemical properties of extruded rice flour (ER) and gelatinization popped rice flour (GPR) by the extrusion process and by the popped method with milled rice and brown rice. The extrusion process used a couple of screw extruders. The extrusion parameter was kept constant at a feed moisture content of 25%, barrel temperature of 120℃ and screw speed of 400 rpm. GPR was prepared by batch popping machine after gelatinization of rice. In order to evaluate the physicochemical properties of ER and GPR, as well as the gelatinization rate, water soluble index (WSI), water adsorption index (WAI), DPPH radical scavenging activity and total dietary fiber content, the color value was carried out. The gelatinization rate was similar to 71.1～73.8%. Further, the results of WSI and WAI were increased at ER and GPR compared to the raw materials; ER was also higher than GPR. DPPH radical scavenging activity and total dietary fiber content showed a tendency to reduce after extrution and popping. As a result of the color value, the L value of ER decreased more than the raw materials, whereas GPR increased at a and b values.

In order to study the cooking characteristics of four rice cultivars of Seolhyangchal, Baegjinju, Ilpum and Haiami, we investigated the relationship between the textures of cooked rice and their physicochemical properties. Different levels in grain weight. length/width ratio and amylose content were observed among the four rice cultivars. There was no significant difference in the amylopectin chain length distribution among the cultivars. Water absorptions of rice grains during soaking were completed between 30 and 40 min, with Haiami showing the slowest absorption. Significant differences in the viscosity properties of rice flour were found by a Rapid Visco Analyser. Baegjinju with low amylose content had the highest viscosity in paste breakdown. According to the DSC results of rice starches, there were significant differences in the onset, peak and conclusion temperatures of the endothermic peak. Gelatinization enthalpy showed energy content changes between 4.20 and 6.97 J/g, with the lowest change in Haiami. Texture properties of cooked rice were assessed using a Texture Analyzer, which showed that the hardness of cooked rice was decreased with soaking than without soaking. However, this finding was not applicable for Haiami rice.

Gelatinization characteristics of 111 glutinous rice varieties were evaluated by Rapid Visco Analyzer. Gelatinization viscosity of glutinous rice tested varied with ecotypes or varietal groups: indica, japonica, and Tongil type. Indica rice showed the highest average value of initial pasting temperature. The average values for peak, hot, and cool viscosities were highest in Tongil-type rice, and lowest in japonica rice. Japonica showed the lowest breakdown and consistency, but the highest setback value. Indica was lower in alkali digestion value (ADV), and shorter in gel length after gelatinization thanjaponica and Tongil-type. Glutinous rices tested could be divided into six groups by cluster analysis based on their gelatinization characteristics. Group I-A was mostly early maturing japonica varieties while I-B was mostly indica and Tongil-type rices. Groups II-A and II-B were consisted of very early maturingjaponica, and III-A and III-B included medium or medium late maturingjaponica varieties. Group III-A showed the lowest average values of peak, hot, cool, and consistency viscosities, and also in breakdown and setback ratios. Group I-B revealed the highest values in peak, hot, cool, breakdown, and consistency viscosities. ADV was low in groups I-A, I-B, and II-B, and gel consistency was not different among the six varietal groups. Principal component analysis using seven traits related with gelatinization produced four effective components, and the first and second components were highly correlated with all the gelatinization characters evaluated

The experiment was conducted to examine the varietal variation in gelatinization of rice flour and adaptability to rice bread processing, and the interrelation among the relevant properties. IR 44 showed the lowest temperature of gelatinization onset(To ) and the highest gelatinization enthalphy(ㅿH) measured by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The following lower To was found with the order of Suweon 230＜Pusa-33-30＜T(N) 1, Daeribbyeo 1 and the next higher ㅿ.H was followed by the order of Pusa-33-30＞Suweon 230. IRAT 177 revealed the highest temperature of gelatinization onset and conclusion(Tc ) and the following higher Tc was found with the order of Pusa-33-30＞AC 27＞Nonganbyeo. The varietal range of To and Tc was 50.0~72.5~circC and 70.2~87.4~circC , respectively. The rice materials tested can be classified by scatter diagram on the plane of upper two principal components contracted from DSC thermogram and various characteristics relevant to processing and sensory preference of rice bread by principal component analysis. AC27, Suweonjo and IR 44 among high-amylose rices showed better suitability to rice bread processing. The temperatures of gelatinization peak and conclusion of rice flour checked by DSC were significantly negatively associated with springiness of rice bread. The most properties relevant to processing and sensory preference of rice bread such as hardness, moistness, springiness, cohesiveness, specific loaf volume and distribution or size of air cell revealed the close correlation between each other.other.
