Physicochemical properties of amaranth starch were compared with those of waxy rice and waxy corn starches. Amaranth starch granules vary from $1.1{\sim}1.9\;{\mu}m$ in diameter and are polygonal in shape. Total amylose contents from waxy rice, waxy corn and amaranth starches were 0.01, 0.03 and 0.07%, respectively. Swelling power of amaranth starch granule was slightly different from waxy rice. The swelling power of amaranth increased at $70^{\circ}C$. X-ray diffraction patterns of amaranth and other waxy cereal starches showed an A-type crystalline structure. Relative crystallinities of their starches were similar. According to pasting properties by Rapid Visco-Analyzer, amaranth starch showed a very high gelatinization temperature $(75.1^{\circ}C)$ and lower viscosity and higher stability than other waxy cereal starches during heating and cooling cycle. Peak onset temperatures (To) of starches from waxy rice, waxy corn and amaranth in DSC thermograms were $58.7{\sim}64.0$, 67.2 and $71.5^{\circ}C$, respectively, and their peak enthalpies were similar. Enthalpy of reheated amaranth starch after 3 day storage at $4^{\circ}C$ was higher than those of waxy corn and rices starchs.

Viscometric properties of japonica(Olchal) and japonica${\times}$indica(Hankang and Suwon 317) waxy rice starches were investigated. Light transmittance of starch suspension increased from $50^{\circ}{\sim}55^{\circ}C$ and remained constant after $75^{\circ}C$. Swelling power was in the order of Hankang, Suwon 317 and Olchal. Amylograph data revealed that Hankang had the highest viscosity at all reference points. The apparent viscosity of 5% starch suspension indicated that the j${\times}$indica starches were completely gelatinized after 30 min cooking at $65^{\circ}C$ whereas japonica starch at $70^{\circ}C$. The apparent viscosity of gelatinized starch at $121^{\circ}C$(15 psig) was higher compared to that of gelatinized one at $95^{\circ}C$. Hankang was the most susceptable to alkali gelatinization followed by Suwon 317 and Olchal.

To expand the utility of barley the experiments on the extrusion characteristics of barley flour for snack processing were carried out and the effects of the extrusion conditions on the quality of the extrudates were investigated. The optimum moisture content of barley flour for snack processing was 20%. The moisture content and the density of the extrudates decreased with increasing extrusion temperature and decreasing die size. The die swell ranged from 0.98 to 2.18 according to various extrusion conditions and decreased with increasing temperature above $150^{\circ}C$. The lightness, redness and yellowness increased at higher temperature. The water absorption index and the water solubility index showed their maximum values at $180^{\circ}C$.The gelatinization degree of the extrudates increased with increasing temperature. The fracture fore, Young's modulus and maximum fiber stress decreased, but the deformation to fracture increased, with increasing temperature and decreasing die size. The yield force in puncture test showed lower values at higher temperature. The size and the fraction of the air cells increased with increasing temperature and decreasing die size. The optimum extrusion conditions of barley for snack processing were at the temperature of $180^{\circ}C$, with the die size of 4.5mm when processed at 160 rpm.

Starch phosphates were prepared from the corn starch mixed with 2% sodium tripolyphosphate by twin-screw extruder with a feed rate of 20 kg/hr and an extrusion temperature of $130^{\circ}C$, and the effects of extrusion variables on the physicochemical properties (target parameters) of starch phosphates were investigated. Interrelations of system parameters (specific mechanical energy and extrudate moisture) and rheological properities of starch was analyzed by using the response surface analysis. Degree of substitution (DS) was increased with increasing the feed moisture, and showed the maximum value at the screw of near 250 rpm, Degree of gelatinization was proportionally increased with increasing the screw speed and decreasing the feed moisture. Apparent viscosity of the paste was increased with increasing the feed moisture, but it was not significantly affected by the screw speed. It was found by scanning electron microscopy that the starch microgranules were much more degradaded, and as consequent result, the intrinsic viscosity was decreased, whereas, water solubility index was increased. The rate of retrogradation of the gels was retarded with increasing DS and decreasing viscosity.

This study was to investigated optimum preparation conditions for Gugija Heukimja jook by response surface methodology (RSM). The important materials used for the Gugija Heukimja product were Lycium chinese, Seasamum indicum L., Ziziphus jujuba Mill. and rice. Moisture content, crude protein, crude fat, crude ash and crude fiber content were 15.62, 16.60, 13.62, 4.93 and 11.17% for Lycium chinese, 3.62, 20.94, 43.56, 5.67 and 10.72% for Seasamum indicum L., 24.12, 5.38, 0.73, 2.30 and 1.25% for Ziziphus jujuba Mill., and 12.36, 6.98, 0.46, 0.43 and 0.41% for rice, respectively. Optimal extraction conditions of brix, color, pH and total acidity in the materials for Gugija Heukimja jook were temperature $80^{\circ}C$, water volume 850 mL and extraction time of 63 min. The spreadability of jook with Lycium chinese and Ziziphus jujuba Mill. extracts was the highest when black sesame was 12 g pH was the lowest when black sesame was 9 g. PH showed a significant difference when the added black sesame ratio changed. The 'value L' of chromaticity was lower with an increase of the black sesame ratio, 'value a' was higher with an increase of the black sesame ratio, 'value b' was lower with an increase of the black sesame ratio. Brix was lower when black sesame in jook was added. Total acidity was highest (7.27%) when black sesame was 12 g. The degree of gelatinization tended to be lower with additional black sesame. Higher scores of sensory evaluation were found for the product containing 9 g black sesame with Lycii furctus and Ziziphus jujuba Mill. extracts ompared to the other samples with 3 and 6g. No significant difference in taste occurred for Gugija Heukimja jook prepared with over 9 g black sesame, while a great difference showed in color, pH and total acid. Therefore, the Gugija Heukimja jook prepared under the optimal conditions of 9 g black sesame with Lycium chinese and Ziziphus jujuba Mill. extracts exhibited higher qualities. Gugija Heukimja jook can use the easier for Yacksun jook. It is expected to become functional in the product's development.

Four different levels of nitrogen were applied to 3 naked barley cultivars (Hordeum vulgare L.) Yonezawa, Baekdong and Yeongsanbori. Changes in physico-chemical properties were examined upon these treatments. Total protein content as well as glutelin increased as N level increased. Baekdong contained the highest protein content (13.7%) at N$_2$. Yonezawa and Baekdong contained more lysine than Yeongsanbori. Increased lysine was measured in all cultivars by increased nitrogen application. Among all amino acids proline was the highest in all cultivars, and its increase was paralled to the N levels. Magnesium and potassium were declined and calcium was increased with increased levels of nitrogen fertilizer. Ash content was decreased as nitrogen increased and as the plants have become matured. Three minutes pearling in Yonezawa was not sufficient in terms of water absorption ratio and whiteness. Sixty percent pearling rate in Yonezawa showed a higher absorption ratio and cooking whiteness than non-waxy Baekdong and Yeongsanbori. Gelatinization temperature was lower but maximum viscosity was higher in waxy than non-waxy barley.

The purpose of this study was to identify mungbean (Vigna radiata L.) cultivars with appropriate characteristics for labor saving culture (whole crop feeding and combine harvesting), and to investigate seed quality in the southern South Korea. Cultivar Dahyeon exhibited strong lodging resistance, excellent disease tolerance, and greater pod numbers per plant resulting in higher yield. Cultivar Owool and Keumseong, the two most common mungbean cultivars in Korea, exhibited lower yield than Dahyeon due to weaker disease tolerance or lower pod numbers per plant. Cultivar Samgang demonstrated higher seed starch content, Jangan, Nampyeong, and Keumseong exhibited higher crude protein content, and Sohyeon exhibited higher vitexin and isovitexin contents. However, no statistical differences were found among the cultivars in crude fat content. Unsaturated fatty acid ranged from 51.8 to 57.2%, with saturated fatty acid ranging from 36.2 to 40.3%. We detected five unsaturated fatty acids including linoleic acid (36.1 to 38.6%), linolenic acid (10.3 to 14.7%), and oleic acid (2.7 to 4.6%), and seven saturated fatty acids including palmitic acid (28.7 to 30.9%), stearic acid (2.9 to 4.1%), and arachidic acid (1.5 to 3.7%). There were significant differences between the cultivars in amylogram properties of seeds: the Nampyeong cultivar exhibited a lower gelatinization temperature; Dahyeon was higher in peak viscosity and breakdown; and Sohyeon, Nampyeong, and Dahyeon were lower in setback.

This study was performed to effect of chain length distribution of amylopectin on gelatinization physical properties of cooked rice grains which were analyzed by alkali digestive value (ADV) in six rice cultivars. Those rice cultivars were Hwangumnuribyeo, Ilpumbyeo, Sangjubyeo, Taebongbyeo, Nampyungbyeo, and Dasanbyeo. The ADV values were evenly distributed from 7.0 (Hwangumnuribyeo) to 5.0 (Dasanbyeo). A similar chain length distribution of amylopectin was found in rice cultivars, indicating that DP12 had the highest distribution. Rice cultivars with high ADV value showed higher portion of short chain distribution upto DP15. The surface hardness of cooked rice increased consecutively to Dasanbyeo, Ilpumbyeo, and Hwangumnuribyeo. Among japonica type rice cultivars, the highest overall hardness was observed in Dasanbyeo followed by Hwangumnuribyeo and Ilpumbyeo. Correlation between hardness of rice graim and chain length distribution of amylopectin had the similar inclination to surface hardness of rice grains and overall hardness.

Rheological properties of gelatinized millet starch dispersions were evaluated. Gelatinized nonwaxy and waxy millet starch dispersion were typical pseudoplastic fluids. At constant shear rate, gelatinized waxy millet starch dispersion showed higher shear stress than nonwaxy millet starch dispersion. Flow behaviours of gelatinized nonwaxy and waxy millet starch dispersion were well fitted to Herschel-Bulkley equation and flow behaviour index (n) and consistency index (K) were strongly concentration dependent. There was a linear relationship between concentration of gelatinized starch dispersion and square root of yield stress. The concentrations of gelatinized nonwaxy and waxy millet starch dispersion where yield stresses become zero were estimated as 2.19 and 1.69%, respectively. Pseudoplastic constant (m) approaches to a constant value in each type of millet starch when the concentration of gelatinized starch dispersion was increased. As the measuring temperatures increase, n value was increased, whereas, K value was decreased. The activation energies of gelatinized nonwaxy and waxy millet starch dispersion were 2.89 and 3.18kcal/mol, respectively.
