옥수수 전분(초기 수분함량 11.4%)을 $130{sim}220^{circ}C$에서 건열처리하여 DSC로 열분석한 결과 $190^{circ}C$이상에서 호화엔탈피는 감소하였고 알칼리호화시 열처리온도가 상승할수록 점도가 증가하였다. $170^{circ}C$이상에서 열처리 온도가 높아질수록 원료전분에 비하여 최고점도를 포함한 아밀로그램상의 모든 값들, 전분호화액의 전단응력과 겉보기점도, 점조도지수 및 항복응력은 감소하였다. $90^{circ}C$에서 호화진행에 따라 모든 시료들의 겉보기 점도와 항복응력은 상당히 증가하였으며 $190^{circ}C$시료는 특히 초기에 급증하였으나, 점조도지수는 약간 증가한 반면에, 유동거동지수값들은 큰 차이를 보이지않았다. 그러나 $220^{circ}C$의 경우 모든 값들이 다른 시료들에 비하여 크게 낮았다.
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.
