Abstract

The physicochemical properties such as blue value, iodine affinity, degree of polymerization (DP), $\alpha$-amylase digestibility, particle size, RVA pasting, and gel hardness of 4 different millet starches (foxtail, waxy foxtail, proso, and waxy proso) were investigated. The iodine affinity value of the four samples were 4.22, 0.49, 1.07, and 0.21%, and the DP values were 1830, 3880, 4660, and 4130, respectively. The levels of $\alpha$-amylase digestibility of the raw starches were 20.1, 30.7, 18.2 and 35.6%, respectively. The mean size of the proso millet starch was the smallest, $8.25\;{\mu}m$, and the size distribution of the particles was the narrowest among all the samples. Foxtail starch showed the largest peak viscosity and setback viscosity in RVA pasting.

메조 전분의 청가와 요오드 친화도는 각각 0.304와 4.22%로 일반 메 전분과 비슷하였으나 기장 전분은 각각 0.098과 1.07%로 찰 전분에 가까운 성질을 보였다. 차조와 찰기장 전분의 청가는 각각 0.056과 0.037, 요오드 친화도는 각각 0.49와 0.21%이었다. 전분의 평균중합도는 메조 전분이 1830이었으며, 나머지 세 전분은 3880-4660으로 비슷하였다. 생전분의 알파 아밀라아제 소화율은 찰기장 전분이 제일 커 35.6% 이었으며, 기장 전분이 제일 적어 18.2% 이었다. 전분 입자의 평균 크기는 기장이 $8.25\;{\mu}m$로 제일 작았으며, 나머지 세 전분은 $10.33-11.53\;{\mu}m$이었다. 입자 분포에서도 기장 전분만 $1.9\;{\mu}m$ 이하와 $20.0\;{\mu}m$ 이상의 크기를 갖는 입자가 없어 좁은 분포도를 보였다. 기장 전분의 호화개시온도가 다른 전분보다 $3.5-4.9^{\circ}C$ 높았으며, 최고 점도와 노화정도를 나타내는 Setback 점도는 메조 전분이 제일 컸다. 메조 전분을 제외하고는 12% 농도에서 겔을 형성하지 못하였으며, 25% 농도에서의 겔 강도는 차조, 기장, 찰기장 순이었다.
