The molecular structure of rice starch was investigated using Korean rice[3 varieties of Japonica type and 3 varieties of Tongi type(Japonica-Indica breeding type)]. The λmax of iodine complex and inherent viscosity of Japonica type were higher than those of Tongil type. $eta$-Amylolysis limit of the starches was not different between the two rice types. In the distribution of molecular weight of rice starch, the molecular size of amylose and amylopectin for Japonica type were smaller than those for Tongil type. The chain of rice starch distributed F1 of above DP 55, F2 of DP 40~50 and F3 of DP 15~20, and the ratio of F3 against F2 for Japonica type was higher than that of Tongil type. The results suggest that rice of Japonica and Tongil type was different molecular structure of starch.
