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 purpose of this study was to investigate the rheological characteristics of medium wheat flour mixed with bamboo leaf and lotus leaf powders. Rheological properties of the mixed flours were tested based on falling number, color, RVA, farinogram, and rheofermentometer analyses. Falling numbers increased with addition of bamboo leaf and lotus leaf powders. The L values of all mixed flours were less than that of control. The 1% mixed flour sample containing bamboo leaf and lotus leaf powders was not significantly different from 3% mixed flour. The a values of the mixed flour decreased as bamboo and lotus powders increased, whereas b values increased. Addition of bamboo leaf and lotus leaf powders to flour reduced peak viscosity, holding strength, and final viscosity. The set back values of mixed wheat flour containing bamboo leaf powder were lower than those of mixed wheat flour containing lotus leaf powder, suggesting that bamboo leaf powder suppressed retrogradation of flour compared to lotus leaf powder. In the farinogram, the water absorption and consistency of the flours containing bamboo and lotus leaf powders increased, whereas development time and stability decreased. The fermentation time of dough with lotus leaf powder was less than that of dough with bamboo leaf powder.

셀룰로오스 에테르의 분자량, 첨가량, 치환도 및 치환체 종류, 물 양이 쌀면의 조리특성에 주는 영향을 살펴보기 위해 자외선 가시광선 분광분석기를 이용하여 조리 후 쌀면 국물 탁도 를 측정하고 유변물성 측정기를 이용하여 쌀면의 압축강도를 측정하였다. HPMC의 분자량 및 물 양이 증가할수록 국물의 탁도가 감소하여 조리 시 쌀면의 형태안정성이 향상되었고, 셀룰로오스 에테르 첨가량, 치환체 종류, 치환도에 따라 탁도 값이 변화하여, 이들 인자 모두가 쌀면의 형태안정성에 영향을 준다는 것을 확인하였다. 또한, 이들 인자를 효과적으로 조절할 경우, 밀면을 조리한 국물의 탁도보다 낮은 탁도값이 얻어져 셀룰로오스 에테르의 첨가에 따라 조리 시 쌀면의 형태안정성이 크게 향상됨을 확인하였다. 유변물성 측정기를 이용한 쌀면의 압축특성 측정은 조리시간에 따른 쌀면의 호화정도 및 변화하는 조직감을 살펴보는 데 효과적이였으며, 물 양 및 셀룰로오스 에테르의 분자량이 다른 인자들에 비하여 조리시간 별 쌀면의 호화특성 및 조직감에 큰 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다.

Silk fibroin (SF) and silk sericin (SS) have been studied as a biomaterial due their useful properties including good blood compatibility and good cell activities. However, previous studies, silkworm variety has not been considered although it can affect structure and properties of silk fibroin and sericin. Therefore, in the present study, structure and properties of silk fibroins and sericins obtained from different silkworm variety were examined. Most of regenerated SF solutions from different silkworm varieties displayed Newtonian fluid behaviors and their viscosities were different depending on the silkworm variety. N74 showed the highest viscosity among the SF samples. Molecular weight (MW) distribution and mechanical properties of regenerated SF showed similar result to viscosity result. SS did not show significant difference in MW distribution and viscosity result depending on the silkworm variety.

Pine mushroom Jung-Gwa color value was the highest by 20% soaking honey-water product and 40% soaking honey-water product was the lowest. Strength and hardness of 20% soaking honey-water product was the highest. Appearance to product of 50% soaking honey-water was the highest preference by all age of except 20's. The honey content of more and more external appearance preference was became higher. Product of 40% soaking honey-water was best by flavor of pine mushroom Jung-Gwa. A sugary tastes comparison 50% soaking honey water to 40% soaking honey water was not distinction. The texture was appeared a statistically significant difference by products of 20%, 30% soaking honey-water. Product of 20% soaking honey-water was favorite in 20's and product of 30% soaking honey-water was favorite in 30's. In overall preference test for pine mushroom Jung-Gwa of 40% soaking honey water was preferred by all age. Oligosaccharide helped geriatric diseases and cheaper. Thus this study used oligosaccharide but the result was not a statistically significant difference of pine mushroom Jung-Gwa products quality by comparison honey-water to oligosaccharide. Therefore oligosaccharide utilization products was thought worth a lot more by processing price and functional.

This study aims to investigate the quality characteristics of breads with the addition of sweet pumpkin powder. Farinogram showed that the absorption rate of the dough decreased, the development time and stability became shortened, and the degree of attenuation tended to be grown along with increasing the amount of pumpkin powder. From the amylogram, it was found that the gelatinization starting temperature and the maximum viscosity of pumpkin powder added dough seemed to be decreased as the amount of pumpkin powder was increased. Extensogram showed that there was a decrease in the degree of extension of the dough added with increasing the amount of pumpkin powder, while an increase in the degree of resistance and resistance/extensibility. The lightness (L value) and redness (a value) of bread was found to be decreased with increasing the amount of pumpkin powder, while the yellowness (b value) increased. In terms of the dough texture, for which the hardness, cohesiveness and gumminess of the dough were measured, there were no significant differences between groups, while the dough added with 8.0% pumpkin powder showed a significant decrease in the elasticity. The results of sensory evaluation showed that the highest score of color (p<0.05) and taste (p<0.05) were obtained from the bread added with 6.0% and 8.0% pumpkin powder, while the highest score of texture in control and 3.0% pumpkin bread. In addition, the highest score of flavor (p<0.05) and overall acceptance (p<0.05) were observed in bread added with 6.0% pumpkin powder. Upon the results of this study, it was assumed that the development of food products using pumpkin are prospective in response to health-oriented consumers.

국내산 벤토나이트의 유변학적 특성과 그 규제 요인을 파악하기 위해서 각종 응용광물학적분석과 체표면적, 입도분포, 팽윤도 및 점성도를 측정하였다. 비교적 저품위(몬모릴로나이트 함량:30∼75 wt%)를 이루는 국내산 Ca-형 벤토나이트들은 2∼4 μm의 입도를 갖고 대부분 반자형의 엽상 결정체를 이룬다. 현탁액 상에서 벤토나이트 광물성분들의 입도 분포는 대체로 10∼100 μm 범위에서 높은 빈도를 보이고 전체적으로는 다소 복잡한 이중적인 분포양상을 나타낸다. 이 같은 양상은 제올라이트질 벤토나이트에서 보다 심하게 나타난다. 이 벤토나이트들의 EGME 체표면적은 269∼735 m2/g의 값의 범위를 갖는 것으로 측정되었다 이 체표면적 값은 몬모릴로나이트의 함량, 수분함량 및 CEC 수치와 대체로 정비례하는 관계를 나타낸다. 제올라이트질 벤토나이트가 제올라이트를 함유하지 않는 것보다 전반적으로 약간 높은 체표면적 갈을 갖는다. 국내산 벤토나이트들은 전반적으로 낮은 팽윤도와 점성도를 나타낸다. 2∼5 wt%의 Na2CO3첨가에 의해서 유발된 국내산 벤토나이트들의 팽윤도 향상 최대치는 몬모릴로나이트의 함량과 불순물, 특히 제올라이트의 함유정도에 따라 250∼500%수준인 것으로 측정되었다. Na치환능력이 강한 제올라이트를 함유하는 벤토나이트의 팽윤도 향상에는 좀더 많은 양의 Na2CO3가 소요된다 점성도에 있어서는 장석의 함량이 높고 상대적으로 낮은 입도와 결정도를 갖는 벤토나이트들이 비교적 높은 수치를 보이는 경향이 있다. 또한 현탁액의 pH가 상대적으로 높은 수치를 보이는 시료들이 대체로 점성도가 높은 것으로 나타난다. 그렇지만 벤토나이트의 주요한 유변학적 특성들인 팽윤도와 점성도는 몬모릴로나이트의 함량이나 평균 분산입도와는 뚜렷한 일률적인 상관관계를 보이지 않는 것으로 나타난다. 이에 비해서 팽윤도는 벤토나이트의 광물조성, 표면전하 특성, 입도 및 형상 등의 물리화학적 성향을 포괄하는 체표면적 수치와 대략적으로 반비례적인 관계를 보인다 따라서 벤토나이트 현탁액에서의 유변학적 특성은 몬모릴로나이트의 표면전하 특성, 형태, 입도 및 조직 등의 차이에 의해서 달라지는 점토 입자들의 응집특성 및 취합결정체의 형상에 주로 규제되고, 제올라이트와 같은 미세한 불순 광물성분들의 영향도 부수적으로 관여되는 복합적인 성향인 것으로 해석된다.
