This study focuses on evaluating the physico-chemical properties of extruded cassava starch added with corn flour. The raw materials were mixed at different ratios (corn flour/cassava starch 0:100, 25:75, 50:50, 75:25, 100:0 [w/w]), then extruded at different barrel temperatures (120 and 140°C) and moisture contents (20 and 25%), with the physicochemical and pasting properties of extrudates finally analyzed. The obtained results showed that the addition of corn flour to the mix resulted in an increase in specific length, lightness, yellowness, water absorption index, water solubility index, final viscosity, and setback viscosity of extrudates, while there was a decrease in redness and piece density. Other properties including the expansion ratio, reducing sugars, cold viscosity, peak viscosity, hold viscosity, and breakdown viscosity were more likely to be subjected to barrel temperature and moisture content. Mixing corn flour with cassava starch ameliorated the expansion properties, color, and some pasting properties of mixed extrudates. This study demonstrated that the use of corn flour and extrusion process with different barrel temperatures and moisture contents provided valuable data for the further development of extruded cassava starch.

In plants, starch is the main carbohydrate reserve and an important ingredient in human nutrition. Nutritionally, starch is classified into rapidly digestible starch (RDS), slowly digestible starch (SDS), and resistant starch (RS) based on the rate and degree of digestion. RS escapes enzymatic digestion in the small intestine, but in the large intestine microbial flora may ferment some RS. Malic acid is C4 carboxylic acid with two carboxyl groups. It is well known to take from 69% up to 92% of all organic acids in grape berries and leaves and is naturally produced by many organisms without showing any nutritional harm. However, properties of malic acid treated starch has not been clearly reported. The objectives of this study were to investigate the influence of pH value on low-digestible malate starch formation and digestibility in relation to structural properties of corn starch. Different pH values (1.5-8.5) of 2 M malic acid solution were reacted with corn starch in a forced-air oven at temperature of 130°C for 12 hr. Using FT-IR, carbonyl groups were detected in malate starch, indicating the formation of cross-linking by esterification. Increasing pH value of malic acid-treated sample from 1.5 to 8.5 showed an increase in degree of substitution (DS) and resulted in increase in the RS content from 18.2 to 74.8%, which was maintained after gelatinization. The granular structure of malate starches was not destroyed, and the starches maintained birefringence. This malate starch could be utilized in heat processed foods such as bread and cookies as well as in the products with reduced calories.

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.

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.

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.

옥수수전분을 원료로, water-slurry process를 이용하여 다양한 치환도의 양이온성전분을 제조하였다. 호화억제제인 Na2SO4를 4%(w/w)첨가한 후 반응시약인 3-chloro-2-hydroxyprophyl trimethyl ammonium chloride(CHTAC)와 반응촉매인 NaOH의 양을 조절하여 치환도 0.02-0.06 범위의 양이온성전분을 제조한 후 물리화학적 특성을 조사하였다. 치환도의 증가에 따라 water holding capacity는 일반전분의 3배 이상 증가하여 전분입자의 integrity를 감소시킴을 알 수 있었으며 이는 치환도에 비례하는 swelling power의 값으로도 확인할 수 있었다. Solubility와 swelling power 모두 천연 옥수수전분의 경우에는 그 값이 상승하지 않는 60oC 이하의 온도에서도 급격히 증가하는 모습을 보였다. 요오드 흡착특성은 일반 옥수수전분과 비교하여 차이를 나타내지 않아 치환기의 결합이 무정형 영역에 집중되는 것을 알 수 있었으며 이는 X-ray diffractogram으로도 확인할 수 있었다. Amylograph pattern은 치환도에 비례하여 최고 점도와 50oC에서의 점도가 증가하였으며 호화개시온도와 최고점도 온도는 일정하게 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 1% 전분 용액의 유동 특성을 관찰한 결과 일반 옥수수 전분은 Newtonian fluid의 형태를 보인 반면, 양이온성전분은 pseudoplastic fluid의 거동을 나타내었고 치환도 증가에 따라 점도가 증가하는 양상을 나타내었으나 용액의 전기 전도도가 증가함에 따라 양이온성전분 고유의 유동특성이 감소하는 것을 알 수 있었다.

양이온기를 운반할 수 있는 반응시약과의 화학적 결합에 의하여 제조되는 양이온성전분은 표면에 음이온기를 보유한 펄프의 결합력을 강하게 해주는 특성을 보유하여 제지산업에서 점차 사용량이 증가하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 양이온성전분 중에서도 가장 생산량이 많은 양이온성 옥수수 전분의 water-slurry process에 의한 반응을 최적화하였다. 현재 가장 많이 사용되고 있는 치환도 0.03이하의 저치환 양이온성전분과 향 후 사용량이 증가할 치환도 0.04이상의 고치환 양이온성전분으로 분류하여 실험을 진행하였으며 천연 옥수수전분 현탁액의 알칼리호화가 시작되는 NaOH 농도를 알칼리 첨가량의 최저 기준으로 하여 NaOH의 첨가량을 조절하고, 반응온도, Na2SO4의 농도를 종속변수로 하고, 반응효율을 독립변수로 하여 중심합성계획법에 따라 실험을 진행하여 반응표면 회귀분석을 이용한 양이온반응 최적화를 수행하였다. 저치환 양이온성 옥수수전분의 제조를 위하여 8%(w/w-starch, 65% active monomer)의 양이온화 시약을 첨가한 경우 반응온도 38.48oC, Na2SO4 1.89%의 농도에서 알칼리호화 예상 농도보다 6.75 meq/g-starch의 NaOH를 추가로 첨가한 경우 최적의 양이온화 반응이 진행되었으며 이때의 반응효율은 67.28%이며 최종 양이온성 전분은 0.03022의 치환도를 나타내어 동일한 양의 반응 시약으로 산업적으로 생산되는 양이온성 옥수수전분의 치환도를 20%정도 증가시킬 수 있었다. 반응시약 첨가량을 20%로 증가시킨 경우에는 실험구에서 설계한 4%(w/w)의 Na2SO4 첨가량 및 24시간의 반응범위 내에서 양이온화 반응의 최적점을 찾을 수 없어 water-slurry process에 의한 고치환 양이온성전분의 생산은 산업화에 문제점이 있음을 입증하였다. 설계된 실험군내에서 찾은 최적 반응 조건은 호화억제제를 1.99%(w/w) 첨가하고, 추가로 첨가하는 NaOH를 알칼리호화개시농도(AGIC)보다 5.73 meq/g-starch 만큼 높게 조절할 경우 가장 높은 반응효율을 얻을 수 있었으며 이때의 예상 반응효율은 57.37%로 치환도로 환산할 경우 0.0642의 값이다.

본 실험은 압출성형을 통한 저DE덱스트린 제조공정을 확립하기 위해서 수분함량 25, 35% 배럴온도 100, 120oC, 스크루 회전속도 150, 250 rpm에서 압출성형한 전분을 알파아밀라아제로 당화시켰을 때 당화특성을 연구하였다. 수분용해지수는 원료전분 수분함량이 25%로 감소할 경우 증가되었으며, 수분흡착지수도 수분의 감소와 함께 전체적으로 증가하였다. 환원당함량의 경우 수분함량이 낮고 배럴온도 높을수록 증가되었다. 120 분간 당화 후 DE 63.8로 높게 나타났다. 비기계적 에너지 투입량(SME)의 증가와 함께 수분용해도는 증가하는 경향이었다. 또한 수분함량의 감소와 함께 비기계적 에너지 투입량과 수분용해도는 증가하였다. 페이스트점도는 원료전분의 수분이 낮고, 스크루 회전 속도가 증가할수록 전분사슬의 절단에 따라 저온최고점도가 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 초기반응속도는 수분함량이 25%로 낮고 배럴온도 120oC, 스크루 회전수 250 rpm에서 2.26 × 10−3mmol/mL·min로 가장 높았다. 시중 호화전분 1.83 × 10−3mmol/mL·min에 비해서도 높은 결과를 보였다. 당화속도상수는 히구치모델을 응용하였으며, 수분함량이 낮고 배럴온도가 120oC일 때 전체적으로 높게 나타났다. 본 실험에서 초기반응속도, 당화속도상수, 당화수율 등을 고려할 때, 최적조건은 수분함량 25%, 배럴온도 120oC, 스크루 회전속도 250 rpm이었다.

본 연구는 초미세분쇄기술을 이용하여 옥수수전분의 입자구조파괴가 이루어졌을 때 분자구조적, 물리적 변화가 어떻게 이루어지는지를 구명하고자 하였다. 초미세 분쇄처리 후 옥수수전분의 평균직경은 약 50% 감소가 이루어졌으며 비표면적은 567% 증가하였다. 초미세분쇄처리 전·후의 옥수수전분에 대한 분자량분포를 GPC로 측정한 결과 분쇄 후 저분자량의 Peak II의 면적이 21.0%에서 86.5%로 상승하였다. 손상전분 함량은 각각 9.63%와 83.57%로 초미세분쇄처리에 의하여 크게 증가하였다. 옥수수전분의 경우는 겔(gel)을 형성하였으나 초미세분쇄처리 후에는 전분의 분쇄과정에서 전분입자파괴와 아울러 옥수수전분의 분자량이 저분자화 되면서 겔 형성능력이 크게 저하되었다.

Octenylsuccinated corn starches prepared by reaction of corn starch with 1octenylsuccinic anhydride(OSAn) and their degree of substitution (DS), reaction efficiency(RE), residual octenylsuccinic acid (OSA), and physicochemical properties were compared with those of the native corn starch. DS increased with increase of OSAn and RE was much nearly the same regardless of increase of OSAn. The content of residual OSA was significantly lower than that of regulation of food additives. And as washing frequency of dispersion of the reactant was increased, the content of residual OSA of octenylsuccinated starch was decreased. Rapid Visco-Analyzer initial pasting temperature and setback of octenylsuccinated starches decreased whereas peak viscosity and breakdown increased. When DS of octenylsuccinated starches increased, temperature of initial gelatinization of octenylsuccinated starches drastically decreased. The octenylsuccinated starches also formed clearer pastes. The solubility was much nearly the same regardless of increase of DS at 70℃ but the swelling power increased about 1.2-1.7 times higher than that of native corn starch at 70℃. The water binding capacity of octenylsuccinated starches also decreased.

Effects of RS4 type resistant corn starch on the quality characteristics of cookies were investigated by physicochemical, instrumental and sensory evaluation. The resistant starch was made by cross-linking of corn starch as following; corn starch slurry was annealed at pH 2.0 and 50℃ for 2 h followed by the cross-linking reaction. The cross-linking reaction was performed at 50℃ for 12 h in the presence of 1.2%/st.ds NaOH, 10%/st.ds sodium sulfate and 10%/st.ds of sodium trimetaphosphate (STMP)/sodium tripolyphosphate (STPP) mixture. Dietary fiber content of the resistant starch was estimated to be 73.8% by the AOAC method. For quality characteristics, dough pH decreased with the increase of the resistant starch content and spread factor decreased a little at 20% of the resistant starch. The moisture content and L value of cookies increased with the increase of the resistant starch content. However, the hardness and fracturability decreased with the increase of the resistant starch content. In the sensory evaluation, no significant differences were observed between the two cookies with or without the resistant starch. The results of this study suggest that the RS4 type resistant corn starch can be a good ingredient to increase dietary fiber content in cookies without changes of their qualities.

The optimum annealing conditions of corn starch slurry were studied for RS4 type resistant starch production by phosphorylated cross-linking. When a corn starch slurry was cross-linked by using phosphate salts (STMP/STPP mixture) in the presence of 0.9%, 1.2% and 1.5% NaOH/st.ds, a high concentration of NaOH resulted in a rapid increase of the RS contents at the early reaction stage. However, similar RS contents were obtained after 12 h of cross-linking regardless of NaOH concentrations. The annealing treatment was conducted under various conditions such as pH between 2-10, temperature 40-60℃, time 0-14 h followed by phosphorylated cross-linking. The lower slurry pH was for the annealing treatment, the higher RS contents were obtained after cross-linking. When the slurry annealed for various period of time and temperature, a maximal amount of RS was formed after 2 h of annealing at 50℃ of annealing temperature of the starch slurry (pH 2.0). Therefore, an optimal annealing conditions at pH 2.0 and 50℃ for 2 h were proposed under the cross-linking conditions of sodium sulfate 10%/st.ds, NaOH1.2%/st.ds and 12 h of the reaction time. The RS contents were linearly increased with the increase of phosphate salt addition. The RS4 prepared under the optimal conditions contained RS 72.3% and its phosphorus content was 0.36%/st.ds, which was below the limit (0.4%/st.ds) of modified starch by Korea Food Additives Code.
