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 objective of this study was to evaluate the quality characteristics of mungbean starch gels that were prepared with different concentrations (0, 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5%) of peach seed powders (PSP), which exhibit antioxidant characteristics. Mungbean starch gel samples were prepared and subjected to quality characteristics such as moisture content, general components, color, texture profile analysis, total polyphenol contents, DPPH radical scavenging activity, and sensory qualities. The L-value and the a-value for color decreased significantly, whereas the b-value increased significantly as the PSP concentration increased (p<0.05). In the texture profile analysis, the mungbean starch gel with 1.5% PSP showed significantly lower degrees of hardness, cohesiveness, springiness, gumminess and brittleness (p<0.05). The total polyphenol content was highest in the 1.5% PSP to which mungbean starch gel was added, which also showed a higher than 70% DPPH radical scavenging activity level in a dose-dependent manner (p<0.05). In the sensory test of the mungbean starch gel, its sensory scores for flavor and taste were highest in the 0.5% PSP to which mungbean starch gel was added.

A total of 17 types of rice flour was collected in the market and investigated with respect to their starch and pasting characteristics. Their water contents, water holding capacities, solubilities, swelling power, amylose contents, damaged starches, particle sizes and pasting characteristics were measured. The water content and water holding capacities of various types of rice flours collected in the market were 7.64-14.97% and 95.22-232.94%, respectively. Their solubilities and swelling power were 1.97-37.40% and 1.33-5.76, respectively. Various types of rice flour had 32.11-305.67 μm particle sizes. Among the various types of rice flour collected in the market, the lowest starch damaged content was 3.17%. The peak viscosities of the samples were 17.74-295.95 RVA. Among the rice flours that were collected in the market, the lowest pasting temperature was 69.72℃. As a result, it was shown that rice flour types with high starch damage contents tend to have higher expressed water holding capacities. Moreover, the samples with lower particle sizes tended to have final viscosities, and pasting temperatures.

Physical and structural characteristics of four local barnyardgrass flour and starch were investigated. Amylose content ranged from 6.9 to 12.5%. The BP 3563 and BP 3606 were low amylose lines, and the BP 3592 and BP 3610 showed very low amylose lines. Peak viscosities of four barnyardgrass collections BP-3563, BP-3592, BP-3606, and BP-3610 ranged 264 to 2397. All barnyard grass lines displayed an A-type X-ray diffraction pattern showing the strong diffraction peak at around 2~theta values 15~circ , 17~circ , 18~circ and 23~circ , and a small peak at 20~circ 2~theta . Scanning electron microscopy revealed that the starch granule sizes ranged 5.5-12.5~mum in diameter showing polygonal and rarely spherical in shape with round edges and some pores at the surface. Starch crystallinity of BP 3563, BP 3592, BP 3606, and BP 3610 was 23.9, 25.0, 24.7, and 25.5%, respectively.

Rice consumption per capta, in South Korea, has been decreased dramatically, owing to the changes of living patterns. Because of not only the major energy source of Korean people but also major income source of Korean farmers, diversifying end-use-quality of rice has been demanded. To the context, 'Suweon 472', a high yielding and early mature japonica line and released as 'Namilbyeo' to framers in 2002, was treated with a chemical mutagen, Sodium Azide to find endosperm mutant types. A total of nine endosperm mutat lines, including five waxy, one dull, two floury, and one white core type, were identified from the 3,542 mutatagen treated lines. Amylose contents, iodine reaction, disintegration in alkali solution, gelatinization in urea solution and amylogram properties of those nine endosperm mutant lines were evaluated to address the possibility as new genetic materials for diversifying rice quality of Korean japonica cultivars. All embryo mutants were clearly differentiated from their wild type, 'Suweon 472', in terms of physic-chemical properties evaluated. The endosperm mutant lines would be very useful in expanding untiliztation of rice through opening new rice markets of processed foods from Korean japonica rice.

The starch-filled waterborne acrylate (SWAC) films were prepared. The structures and properties of SWAC films were investigated by infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, and strength test. The biodegradability of SWAC film was also studied by determination of reduced sugar products after enzymatic hydrolysis. The surface morphology of the SWAC film was investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results showed that the tensile strength and elongation of SWAC film decreased with the increase of starch content. The SWAC film showed significantly higher water absorbed content than waterbonre acrylate film. The biodegradability of SWAC film increased as the content of starch increased. The biodegradation of starch in SWAC film by α-amylase was about 77% of that of pure starch.
