Abstract

In this report, we discussed the physiochemical characteristics of corn starch during the alkali gelatinization process. Here, solubility and the amounts of eluted polysaccharides and amyloses increased in proportion to the amount of alkali added. The X-ray diffraction patterns and DSC thermogram showed that in the early stage of alkali gelatinization, crystallinity of the starch granules was disrupted as compared with heat gelatinization. This resulted in the eluted amylose content, while granule sizes were hardly changed in the alkali treated corn starch. The endotherm peak in the DSC thermogram shifted toward a higher temperature region as the degree of gelatinization increased, suggesting that the retained starch granules were more compactly crystallized during alkali gelatinization than during the heat process. Thus, we concluded that during the alkali gelatinization of corn starch, the disruption of weak particles would occur first, before swelling of the granules.

옥수수 전분의 용해도, 아밀로오스 용출량 및 용출당 함량은 알칼리 호화도에 따라 모두 증가하였다. 알칼리호화의 경우 낮은 호화도에서도 특정 X-ray 회절각도에서의 강도 및 DSC의 호화 엔탈피가 감소하여 가열호화와는 달리 호화 초반에 전분입자의 결정질이 손상되는 것을 알 수 있었으며, 결정질이 손상됨에 따라 용출당 중의 아밀로오스의 상대적 함량이 낮아지고 호화과정중의 전분 입자크기는 거의 변하지 않았다. 또한 DSC의 흡열곡선이 호화도가 증가함에 따라 고온으로 이동하였다. 이와 같은 현상으로 미루어 볼 때 알칼리 첨가에 의하여 전분입자의 팽창보다는 약한 결정질로부터 파괴되면서 호화가 진행되는 것으로 추정된다.
