Abstract

Physicochemical properties of the native chestnut starch(NCS) and hydroxypropylated chestnut starch(HCS) with propylene oxide were investigated. The water binding capacity and blue value of chestnut starch were increased by hydroxypropylation. With increasing temperature, the swelling power and solubility were increased and those of HCS were higher. The light transmittance of HCS was higher than it of NCS. Endotherm characteristics were studied with DSC showed that temperatures of initial gelatinization of NCS and HCS were $64.44^{\circ}C$ and $62.80^{\circ}C$, respectively. The temperature of initial gelatinization and enthalpies gelatinization in chestnut starch were decreased by hydroxypropylation. And the viscosity of HCS was higher than that of NCS.

밤에서 추출한 천연 밤전분(NCS)과 이에 propylene oxide를 반응시켜 제조한 hydroxypro-pyl화 밤전분(HCS)의 이화학적 특성을 비교 검토하였다. 색도는 NCS와 HCS 사이에 별 차이가 없었고, 물결합 능력은 NCS가 233.8%, HCS가 244.5%를 나타내어 HCS의 물결합 능력이 증가하는 양상을 보였다. Hydroxypropylation에 의해 HCS의 청가 및 amylose 함량이 다소 감소하여 전분의 구조가 변형됨을 알 수 있었고 팽화력과 용해도에서도 증가하였다. 0.2% 전분 현탁액으로 광투과도를 측정한 결과 역시 HCS가 NCS에 비해 증가함을 알 수 있었다. DSC와 amylogram을 이용하여 호화 양상을 측정한 결과 hydroxypropylation에 의해 HCS의 호화 온도 및 호화 엔탈피가 감소하여 HCS를 식품가공에 이용할 경우 전분이 호화되는데 필요한 열량이 감소하여 경제적인 잇점이 있을 것으로 생각된다.
