This study established optimal cookie conditions by varying the amount of modified starch treated with octenyl succinic anhydride (OSA). It also investigated the quality and digestion characteristics of the cookies produced. The moisture content increased as the amount of OSA-modified starch added to the cookies increased. As for cookie color brightness, the redness and yellowness decreased as the OSA-modified starch content increased. The spread factor and hardness of the cookies showed the most similar results for control and OSA: 20%. As the amount of OSA-modified starch added to cookies increased, RS tended to increase. It was found that OSA-modified starch cannot easily replace wheat flour completely and that the optimal amount of OSA-modified starch added to cookies is 20%. OSA-modified starch can be used not only as a cookie but also as a low-calorie food ingredient.

This study established the optimal conditions of noodles by varying the amount of modified starch treated with octenyl succinic anhydride in wheat starch. It investigated the digestibility and quality characteristics of the produced noodles. The color difference of the noodles added with octenyl-succinic anhydride (OSA)-modified starch increased as the amount of OSA-modified starch added increased but decreased after cooking. The cooking characteristics of noodles added with OSA-modified starch showed increased weight, water absorption, and turbidity but reduced volume. In the extensibility of noodles, the noodles with 10 and 20% OSA-modified starch showed the most similar values to the control. The digestibility of noodles with OSA-modified starch added showed a higher RS content as the amount of OSA-modified starch added increased. However, it is considered that an optimal addition level of 20% of modified starch is suitable for the formation of noodle texture. As a result of this study, it is thought that OSA-modified starch, with its low digestibility, could be utilized not only in noodles but also as a low-calorie food ingredient that can replace wheat flour.

본 연구는 OSA 전분을 열처리 한 후, 이를 이용하여 제조한 OSA 전분 에멀션의 이화학적 특성 및 계면 흡착 구조 등을 조사하였다. 에멀션 중 지방구의 크기는 OSA 전분 농도의 증가와 더불어 지속적으로 감소하여 0.2 wt% 농도에서 최소값(0.31±0.01 μm)을 나타내었고, 그 이상의 농도에서는 변화가 없었다. 에멀션의 크리밍 안정도는 OSA 전분 농도가 높을수록 증가하였으며, 0.75 wt% 이상의 첨가 농도에서 크리밍 발생에 대하여 매우 안정하였다. 에멀션 중 OSA 전분의 계면 흡착량은 0.2 wt% 첨가 농도 이상에서 농도의 증가와 더불어 증가하였으며(0.2 wt% : 1.03 mg/m2→1.25 wt% : 5.08 mg/m2), 이는 계면에서 OSA 전분이 다층 구조를 이루는 것에 기인된 것으로 추정하였다. OSA 전분 에멀션의 pH를 조절하였을 때 산성 지역에서 지방구의 응집에 의해 크기가 증가하였으며, 이는 상대적으로 낮은 제타 전위에 기인된 것으로 사료되었다. 터비스캔에 의한 분산 안정도 또한 pH에 영향을 받아 산성 지역에서 낮았으며, pH 7 이상에서는 높은 분산 안정도 특성을 보였다. 공초점현미경을 이용하여 열처리된 OSA 전분이 흡착된 지방구 표면을 관찰한 결과, OSA 전분은 입자 형태가 아닌 두꺼운 계면막을 형성하는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 에멀션 형성 전에 OSA 전분을 열처리할 경우, 전분의 호화과 정에서 용출된 아밀로오스와 아밀로펙틴이 지방구 표면에 막의 형태로 흡착되므로, OSA 전분 에멀션에 있어서 중요한 유화 안정화 기작은 ‘입체장애 안정화(steric stabilization)’인 것으로 사료되었다.

The quality characteristics of Korean rice cakes (Karedduk) with a mixture of maltooligosaccharide and OSA (octenyl succinic acid starch) added, after 2 and 24 hr of storage at 5℃, was analyzed. A central composite design was used for arrangement of treatment. The two independent variables selected for retarding retrogradation analysis were amounts of maltooligosaccharide (x) and OSA (y). Maltooligosaccharide was added at 0, 3, 6, 9, and 12% levels, and OSA added at 0, 0.3, 0.6, 0.9, and 1.2% levels, to dry rice flour. The texture properties analysis using a Texture Analyzer revealed that the springiness and cohesiveness (p<0.01), chewiness, gumminess and hardness (p<0.001) were significantly different after 24 hr of storage at 5℃. The effect of retarding retrogradation of Korean rice cakes with added mixtures of maltooligosaccharide and OSA showed an increasing trend as the amount of maltooligosaccharide increased. Overall, the instrumental texture properties were highly correlated with the sensory characteristics. These results suggest that adding a mixture of 6% maltooligosaccharide and 0.6% OSA to Korean rice cakes (Karedduk) is effective for retarding retrogradation.

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.

This study was examined closely physiological activation and intended to present the possibility of developing food low-fat food. Developing carbohydrate fat replacer as materials for low-fat food made of Korean potato starch, it is expected that the new demand of fat replacer will be created. Potato starch was modified by chemical modification. The calorie of starch of GPS was measured to be 3.0 kcal/g, those of chemically modified starch, HPR showed 2.5 kcal/g respectively, suggesting that calorie is decreased by modified treatment. The appropriateness of processing food was experimented by substituting the existing oil and fat containing food with gel of starch and modified starch in constant rate through utilization of modified starch. When producing mayonnaise by substituting edible oil with gel of modified starch in 10-50%, calorie was reduced by 44~45% when substituted by 50%, suggesting the potential of low-fat food. Measuring viscosity of mayonnaise by Brookfield viscometer, the mayonnaise with HPR showed high viscosity and the chemical modified starch group of EZ also showed high viscosity. Generally, the material property of mayonnaise tended to reduce in all measured items when oil and fat are substituted by starch substituting materials and the substituting materials increase. When it comes to the emulsification stability of mayonnaise with starch substituting materials, emulsification stability of all mayonnaise with starch substituting materials is lower than that of compared group. While the group with NL as commercial fat replacer showed emulsification stability which was slightly higher than group with modified starch and the substitution group of HPR showed higher emulsification stability. Sensory evaluation for low-fat mayonnaise by substituting oil the products substituted by modified starch was more preferred than general starch substituting products such as GPS. While NL as commercially fat replacer showed the hight preference, products with H40, EZ were also highly preferred.

Developing carbohydrate fat replacer as materials for low-calorie and low-fat food made of Korean potato, it is expected that the new demand of fat replacer will be created. Potato starch was modified by chemical modification. Observing modified starch(treated in different method) by SEM, EZ(treated by enzyme) showed shape of deformed round oval, AC(treated by acetylation,), HPR(treated by hydropropylation) showed shape similar to that of NL(N-Lite), the commercial fat replacer. In the modified starch such as AC, peak in B and C type similar to those of general starch was found, but EZ showed non-crystalline shape. Compared to other modified starch, HPR, the chemically produced denatured starch showed very peculiar peak and structure in V-form. While the order of contents of amylopectin was in the order HPR 〉 EZ 〉 AC showed extremely high contents. Measuring the degree of gelatinization per the modified method, the degree of gelatinization of HPR as much higher than others. The water binding activity of modified starch was 240% in HPR. Measuring viscosity by producing general starch and modified starch as gel of 10% concentration, the CPS showed very high viscosity of 30.30 × 103 cp. Showing viscosity of 38.60, 31.60 103 × cp, the modified starch was in the order of HPR. While the calorie of starch of GPS was measured to be 3.0 Kcal/g, very low calorie those of chemically modified starch, HPR showed 2.5 Kcal/g respectively, suggesting that calorie is decreased by modified treatment. The appropriateness of processing food was experimented by substituting the existing oil and fat containing food with saturated gel of starch and modified starch in constant rate through utilization of modified starch. Therefore, research and development for materials and related products which maintain the existing quality and reduce fat contents will be constantly performed in the future.

Male rats were fed a purified diet containing one of 3 experimental diets, gelatinized rice starch that was not modified physically (RC), gelatinized physically modified rice starch using ultrasonic homogenizer(RU), gelatinized physically modified rice starch using hydroshear homogenizer(RH) during 28 days. RC was used as the rice starch control. Feeding a physically modified rice starch (RU) caused an increase in liver weight and RH increased RNA and protein contents in kidney significantly although there were no differences in food intakes compared to feeding a RC diet. The wet weight of liver, kidney and heart were higher in RU. The wet weights of fecal output of the rats fed RH was greater than in rice control group. The gut transit time was longer in the rats fed RH than in the rice control group significantly. Serum GOT, GPT, total bilirubin concentration were tended to be lower and blood urea nitrogen was significantly lower in RH group. The maturation index of kidney was higher in RU than in RC. These results suggest that physically modified rice starch improved growth performance and physiological functions in organs of growing rats.

In this study, thermoplastic starch (TPS), cross-linked starch (CS), and cross-linked starch modified with glycerol (CTPS) were prepared, and the mechanical properties of the compatibilized low-density polyethylene (LDPE) blends (LDPE/TPS, LDPE/CS, and LDPE/CTPS) were investigated and compared with those of uncompatibilized LDPE/TPS, LDPE/CS, and LDPE/CTPS blends. Maleic-anhydride-grafted polyethylene was used as the compatibilizer. The enhanced tensile strength and elongation at break for the compatibilized LDPE/modified starch blends are a result of the improved compatibility between LDPE and the modified starch, which was confirmed by torque measurements and scanning electron microscopy.
