This study investigated the effects of galacomannans (guar gum, tara gum, and locust bean gum) on the rheological properties of buckwheat starch pastes under steady and dynamic shear conditions. The power law and Casson models were applied to describe the flow behavior of the buckwheat starch and galactomannan mixtures. The values of the apparent viscosity (${\eta}_{a,100}$), consistency index (K), and yield stress (${\sigma}_{oc}$) for buckwheat starch-galactomannan mixtures were significantly greater than those for the control, indicating that there was a high synergism of the starch with galactomannans. The magnitudes of storage modulus (G') and loss modulus (G") for the starch-galactomannan mixtures increased with increasing frequency (${\omega}$). The dynamic moduli (G', G"), and complex viscosity (${\eta}^*$) for the buckwheat starch-galactomannan mixtures were significantly higher than those for the control.

Purpose: This study was conducted to understand the factors that affect the acceptance of gluten-free rice pasta samples prepared with added buckwheat, mungbean, and acorn starches, and to compare sensory characteristics of samples with those of 100% semolina pasta. Methods: Descriptive analysis of pasta was conducted by 12 trained panels. Acceptance test was carried out by 40 consumers using 7-point hedonic scale. Collected data was statistically analyzed by principal component analysis, and partial least squares regression analysis. Results: Quantitative descriptive analysis showed that increasing amount of buckwheat, mungbean, and acorn starches resulted in significant improvement in gluten-free rice pasta properties, especially texture, hardness, chewiness, roughness, and al dente with increasing amount of sample starches, and decreased adhesiveness. In acceptance test, appearance and texture of gluten-free rice pasta with mungbean starch were preferred than pasta made with 100% rice. Flavor and taste was preferred in pasta with buckwheat starch than other pasta samples. Rice pasta with 30% buckwheat starch showed the highest score in overall acceptance among rice samples. Conclusion: This study suggested that adding mungbean starch could improve texture of gluten-free pasta, and adding buckwheat starch would improve taste and flavor of gluten-free rice pasta.

Isolation and identification of the major bacteria causing spoilage of buckwheat starch jelly, and the effects of chitosan concentrations (0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0%) on shelf-life and quality of buckwheat starch jelly were investigated. Eight strains were isolated from spoiled buckwheat starch jelly and identified as Serratia liquefaciens and Staphylococus lentus. During storage of buckwheat starch jelly for 6 days at 18$^{\circ}C$, viable counts were lower at higher chitosan concentrations, especially at 1.5% and 2.0%. Water activity was less reduced at higher chitosan concentrations. Color L* value decreased, and a* values increased slightly with storage periods. In sensory evaluation, buckwheat starch jelly containng 1.0% chitosan was evaluated the best, with lower overall acceptability at higher chitosan concentrations. Buckwheat starch jelly containing 1.0% chitosan showed a longer shelf-life by 1~2 days than the control.

This study determined the effects of added buckwheat extract on the rate of corn starch hydrolysis in vitro as well as blood glucose responses through its supplementation in healthy subjects. The rate of corn starch hydrolysis in the presence or absence of various buckwheat extracts was determined in an in vitro enzyme/dialysis system for 2 hr. The buckwheat was extracted by water, ethanol(40%, 70%, 100%) and methanol(40%, 70%, 100%), respectively. Twenty percent(w/w) additions of the ethanol, methanol and water buckwheat extract to corn starch solution significantly reduced the starch hydrolysis at every minute for 2 hr(p<0.05). The calculated hydrolysis indices of the buckwheat extracts were in the order of 100% ethanol extract(50), 100% methanol(54), 40% ethanol(58), 40% methanol(62), 70% methanol(64), 70% ethanol(68), water (82). For the blood glucose response study, groups of 12 volunteers were given 50 g of boiled rice with or without buckwheat extract(10% and 20% of starch weight) using the 100%, 70%, and 40% ethanol extracts, respectively. The addition of each buckwheat ethanol extract significantly reduced blood glucose concentrations at three or more points during 2 hr and also reduced the mean peak rise and area under the blood glucose curve(p<0.05). The calculated glycemic index(GI) values for all ethanol buckwheat extract groups were significantly decreased compared to the control(rice). At the concentrations of 20%, the buckwheat 100% ethanol extracts lowered the GI by 68%. The 100% ethanol extract was more effective than the 70% and 40% extracts for reducing GI. Therefore, the 100% ethanol buckwheat extract would be the most therapeutically useful in modifying postprandial hyperglycemia.

The physicochemical properties and gel forming properties of mungbean and buckwheat crude starches were investigated. The results were as follows; 1. The granule size and shape of mungbean crude starch were $11~32\mu\textrm{m}$ and oval, and those of buckwheat crude starch were $3~10 \mu\textrm{m}$ and polygonal. 2. The amylose conteut of mungbean crude starch and buckwheat crude starch were 78.0% and 26.4% respectively. 3. The blue value of mungbean crude starch and buckwheat crude starch were 1.030 and 0.409, respectively. 4. Periodate oxidation of mungbean crude starch resulted that amylose had the average molecular weight of 95, 648, degree of polymerization of 590 and amylopectin had the degree of branching of 5.4, glucose unit per segment of 18.6, and periodate oxidation of buckwheat crude starch resulted that amylose had the average molecular weight of 133, 690, degree of polymerization of 825 and amylopectin had the degree of branching of 5.2, glucose unit per segment of 19.2 5. Water binding capacity of mungbean crude starch was 185.1% and that of buckwheat was 209.9% 6. The pattern of change in swelling power of mungbean crude starch for increasing temperature started to increase at $60^{\circ}C$ and increased rapidly from $70^{\circ}C$, and that of buckwheat increased slowly from $60^{\circ}C$ to $90^{\circ}C$ without rapid increase. 7 The ranges of gelatinization temp. of mungbean and buckwheat crude starches were 63. 9-$109^{\circ}C$ and 52.5-84.$2^{\circ}C$, respectively. 8. The gelatinization patterns for 6% munbean crude starch and 8% buckwheat crude starch were investigated by Brabender amglograph. Mungbean crude starch showed the initial pasting temperature of 77.6$^{\circ}C$ without peak height, and buckwheat crude starch showed that of $62.5^{\circ}C$ without peak height. In addition, sensory evaluation for sample starch gels (mungbean, buckwheat, cowpea) was done. 1. The difference of sensory characteristics for each starch gel was significant. 2. The sample starch gels were regarded as 'Mook' by pannels. 3. 74.44% of the degree of Mooklike was explained by hardness.

Particle size distribution, pasting properties by Rapid Visco Analyser, and textural properties of acorn, mungbean and buckwheat starches, which are the basic raw materials for mook, are compared. The major particle size of mungbean starch was $10{\sim}30$ micron, whereas acorn and buckwheat starches were $5{\sim}20$ micron. At the same starch concentration, mungbean starch had the highest peak viscosity, breakdown and setback. Acorn starch showed the lowest peak viscosity and breakdown. The peak viscosity of buckwheat starch was close to that of mungbean, however the trough and final viscosity were comparable to those of acorn starch. At the same peak viscosity, mungbean starch showed the lowest trough and final viscosity and the highest breakdown and setback. Acorn starch was differentiated from buckwheat starch in that the former had the higher value of setback. The textural properties of mungbean starch gel were significantly different from others. The texture of gels from acorn and buckwheat starches revealed that only the hardness and gumminess were different each other. The hardness of starch gels were negatively correlated with trough and final viscosity, and positively correlated with setback.

To determine the optimum condition for buckwheat noodle making, we prepared noodle from com posite flours of buckwheat, wheat and corn starch, and those physical properties and sensory evalua tion were investigated. The weights of cooked noodle became lower with increasing buckwheat content level indicating that elution of its components to soup was high. Wheat flour in the composite flours probably caused to drop gelatinization temperature and maximum viscosity compared to buck wheat flours. Corn starch in the composite flours increase gelatinization temperature and maximum viscosity compared to buckwheat flours. From the result of farinogram, buckwheat flour lower water absorption ability, and increased dough development time compared to composite flours. Adhesiveness of the cooked noodle with wheat flour was decreased. Cohesiveness of the cooked noodle was decrea sed with increasing buckwheat flour level. In sensory evaluation, chewing and softness of noodle with 100% buckwheat flour was evaluated the best. In taste, BW1 and BSW1 noodles showed slightly higher preference although there was no significant differences.

The effect of heat treatments on in vitro starch hydrolysis of proso millet, sorghum, Job's tears, and buckwheat by pancreatic ${\alpha}-amylase$ was investigated. Grain samples were tested raw, boiled in water, or steamed/roasted. Starch content of the grains varied from 59.5% in Job's tears to 65.5% in proso millet, and amylose content varied from 5.3% in Job's tears to 36.3% in buckwheat. The in vitro starch hydrolysis of raw and heat-treated grains continuously increased during 60 min of hydrolysis. The starch hydrolysis (%) of raw grains after 60 min incubation was in the order of buckwheat (5.7%), proso millet (33.0%), Job's tears (51.2%), and sorghum (57.6%). Grains treated with steaming/roasting appeared to have higher starch hydrolysis rates than those with boiling except proso millet. Hydrolysis rates of buckwheat with a high amylose content appeared to be lower, compared to proso millet, sorghum, and Job's tears containing low amylose contents.
