The effect of the energy supplied in extrusion on the starch gelatinization was analyzed. The energy needed for extrusion is generated by motor and heater. The motor energy is transformed into a thermal energy by heat dissipation and a mechanical energy, and the heater energy is of a thermal energy. At the low barrel temperature $({\leq}80^{\circ}C)$, it was found out there are two kinds of thermal energy by heat dissipation: one by a powder friction of corn grit with low moisture contents and the other by a viscous dissipation of corn grit with high moisture contents. The dissipated thermal energy by the powder friction was more effective on the starch gelatinization than that by the viscous dissipation. The effect of the mechanical energy was also analyzed in terms of a relative mechanical energy. The gelatinization of corn grit with high moisture contents $({\geq}33%)$ largely depended on the change in the relative mechanical energy, whereas that with low moisture contents $({\leq}30%)$ hardly depended on it.

starches, isolated from Japonica and nonwaxy rites, were analyzed fur gelatinization characteristics. Amylose contents of Taebaeg and Sangpung starch were 16 and 17%, respectively. The portion of large-sized particles was more pronounced in the case of Sangpung starch. Swelling power and solubility increased according to the rise in gelatinization temperature. The decrease of pasting temperature according to the incense in starch concentration in Sangpung starch was higher than that of Taebaeg starch. Most of the increase in light penetration was accomplished between 85 and $90^{\circ}C$. Gelatinization reactions of Taebaeg and Sangpung starch appeared as 2 different stages up to the gelatinization temperature of $90^{\circ}C$.

The influence of dry-heat treatment($130{\sim}220^{\circ}C$) on the gelatinization and rheological properties of corn starch(11.4% moisture) was examined. The enthalpy of gelatinization measured by differential scanning calorimetry decreased above $190^{\circ}C$. The viscosity of starch by alkali gelatinization increased as the heating temperature rised. All the values including peak viscosity on amylograms and shear stress, apparent viscosity, consistency index and yield stress of thermal-gelatinized starch dispersion showed decreasing tendencies with increasing of heating temperature from above $170^{\circ}C$ compared with those of raw starch. The apparent viscosity and yield stress of all the samples thermal-gelatinized at $90^{\circ}C$ were increased considerably with process of gelatinization time and especially their rapid increase at the early stage was observed in the $190^{\circ}C$ sample. But all the rheological parameters of $220^{\circ}C$ sample recorded very low values compared with those of the others.

The effects of steeping on the physicochemical and gelatinization characteristics of glutinous rice flour and its starch were studied. Steeping conditions were 1 day at 25"C,7 days at 2iC and 7 days at 35"C. Crude protein, lipid and ash content were decreased br steeping. It was observed with scanning electron microscopy that endosperm cell wall of glutinous rice flour was diminished by steeping. Although morphology of the glutinous rice starch granules was not affected, the size was decreased by steeping. Density and water binding capacity(WBC) of glutinous rice flour and its starch were changed by steeping. X-ray diffraction pattern of glutinous rice starch was A type and was not affected by steeping. Swelling power of glutinous rice flour and its starch was increased but solubility was decreased by steeping. In Brabender amylographic examination, peak viscosity of untreated glutinous rice flour was very low and increased enormously by steeping resulting in the similar Brabender viscosity pattern to its starch. The gelatinization temperature examined by X-ray diffractometry was lowered by steeping. And the degree of gelatinization under the conclusion temperature increased with increasing of steeping Period and temperature.mperature.

The gelatinization kinetics of barley starch in dilute system (1% w/v concn.) at the temperature range of $60{\sim}95^{\circ}C$ was investigated. The gelatinization rate was extremely temperature dependent. The gelatinization at the temperature above $90^{\circ}C$ was an one step 1st order reaction throughout the gelatinization time, but that below $85^{\circ}C$ consisted of two stages which showed different reaction rates. The reaction rate of the 1 st stage was greater than that of the 2nd stage. The activation energy of the 1 st stage was 31.93 Kcal/g mole and those of the 2nd stage were 78.49 and 23.41 Kcal/g mole above and below $75^{\circ}C$, respectively.

Morphological changes of starch granules from 12 different varieties of rice were examined by scanning electron microscopy during heating at 2.5% (w/v) concentration. Rice starch granules proceeded through a similar pattern of progressive morphological changes daring heating, regardless of variety. Rice starch granules began to swell radially in the initial stage of gelatinization and then undergo radial contraction and random tangential expansion to form complex structures in the latter stage of gelatinization temperature range. At higher temperatures, starch granules softened and melted into thin flat discs, and then stretched into thin filaments to form three-dimensional networks. These progressive morphological changes were reflected in the changes of swelling power, solubility and amylograph viscosity of starch. During the transition of melting or softening, swelling power, solubility and amylograph viscosity increased rapidly. The time of loss of granular structure of starch depended on gelatinization temperature range. The ratio of amylose to amylopectin was largely responsible fur the rate of melting or softening and the fineness of a three-dimensional filamentous network above the gelatinization temperature range. Therefore, both the gelatinization temperature range and amylose content of starch affect the rate of cooking, and amylose content of starch affects the final texture of cooked starch paste.

Gelatinization and retrogradation properties of modified starches which were prepared by steeping sweet potato at $40^{\circ}C$ for 2, 4, 7 and 10 days were investigated. The peak temperature of gelatinization and enthalpy of untreated starch by DSC were $53.9^{\circ}C\;and\;1.32\;cal/g$, respectively, but those of modified starch were increased by steeping. In gelatinization by alkali, starches with 2, 4 and 7 day steeping showed higher viscosities than untreated starch, whereas the viscosities of starches with 10 day steeping decreased. The clarities in paste decreased during storage in all starches and decreased in starches with steeping. The degrees of retrogradation by ${\alpha}-amylase-iodine$ method were higher in starches with steeping than untreated starch. The enthalpy of retrograded starches by DSC increased by steeping except 4 day steeping starch. The sweet potato extract containing sugar inhibited the retrogradation of starch paste and the degree were higher in residual starches than in untreated starch.

Amylose content, water absorption and amylograph characteristics of waxy and nonwaxy barley varieties were studied. Amylose content of nonwaxy varieties ranged from 23.4% to 31. 5% and waxy varieties showed 5.4%-9.5%. Water absorption of waxy varieties was highest among the materials tested. Waxy barley showed lowest gelatinization temperature among the varieties. Gelatinization temperature was positively related with the maximum viscosity in all tested varieties. There was no relationships between amylose content and gelatinization temperature, gelatinization time and viscosity.

The gelatinization properties of corn and waxy corn starch doughs were examined at various moisture contents, heating temperatures and heating times. The onset temperatures of gelatinization with 1% CMC using Brabender Amylograph were $64^{\circ}C$ for both corn and waxy corn starch. In the gelatinization properties using DSC, onset temperature$(T_o)$, maximum peak temperature$(T_p)$, completion temperature$(T_c)$ and enthalpy of the corn starch were $68.15^{\circ}C,\;74.01^{\circ}C,\;85.65^{\circ}C$ and $3.2\;cal/gram$ respectively. While those of the waxy corn starch were $68.24^{\circ}C,\;75.43^{\circ}C,\;93^{\circ}C$ and $4.2\;cal/gram$ respectively. In enzymatic analysis, when the moisture content increased from 36% to 52% and heating temperature from $60^{\circ}C$ to $100^{\circ}C$, the gelatinization degree of starch dough increased from about 10% to about 62%. The gelatinization degree of waxy corn starch dough was $15{\sim}20%$ higher than that of corn starch dough under the same gelatinization conditions. The regression equations of gelatinization degree (Y) of starch dough in the range of $36{\sim}52%$ moisture content $(X_1)\;60{\sim}100^{\circ}C$ heating temperature $(X_2)\;and\;0{\sim}2.0$ min heating time $(X_3)$ were examined using response surface analysis. The regression equation of corn starch dough was: $Y=28.659+8.638\;X_}+15.675\;X_2+7.770\;X_3-1.620\;{X_1}^2+10.790\;X_1X_2-4.220\;{X_2}^2+0.510\;X_1X_3+1.980\;X_2X_3-6.850\;{X_3}^2\;(R^2=0.9714)$ and that of waxy corn starch dough was: $Y=32.617+12.535\;X_1+20.470\;X_2+8.608\;X_3+4.093\;{X_1}^2+13.550\;X_1X_2-4.467\;{X_2}^2+1.560\;X_1X_3+2.160\;X_2X_3-9.527\;{X_3}^2$\;(R^2=0.9621)$. As the moisture content, heating temperature and heating time increased, the reaction rate constant(k) of gelatinization increased. The greatest reaction rate constant was observed at initial 0.5 min heating time of 1st gelatinization stage. At the heating temperature of $90^{\circ}C$, gelatinization of starch dough was completed almost in the initial 0.5 min heating time. The reaction rate constant of waxy corn starch dough was higher than that of corn starch dough under the same gelatinization conditions. At the 52% moisture content, the regression equation between reaction rate constant(k) and heating temperature(T) for corn starch dough was $log\;k=11.1140-4.1226{\times}10^3(1/T)$ (r=-0.9520) and that of waxy corn starch dough was $log\;k=10.1195-3.7090{\times}10^3(1/T)$ (r=-0.9064).

Mechanism of the cyclodextrin (CD) production reaction by cyclodextrin glucanotransferase (CGTase) using swollen extrusion starch as substrate was investigated emphasizing the structural features of starch granule. The degree of gelatinization was identified to be the most representative structural characteristic of swollen starch. The most suitable degree of gelatinization of swollen starch for CD production was around 63.52%. The structural transformation of starch granule during enzyme reaction was also followed by measuring the changes of the degree of gelatinization, microcrystallinity, and accessible and inaccessible portion to CGTase action of residual swollen starch. The adsorption phenomenon of CGTase to swollen starch was also examined under various conditions. The inhibition mechanism of CGTase by various CDs was identified to be competitive, most severely by a-CD. The mechanism elucidated will be used for development of a kinetic model describes CD production reaction in heterogeneous enzyme reaction system utilizing swollen extrusion starch.
