The physicochemical properties of starch isolated from two kinds of waxy barley were investigated. The average diameters of starch granules of Changyoung and Smire were 13.6 and 16.6 microns, respectively, and most of starch granules were round shape. X-ray diffraction patterns of two samples were A-types and amylose contents of two waxy barley starches were 4%, blue values and alkali numbers of Changyoung and Smire were 0.22 and 0.18, 5.2 and 4.0, raising powers of them were 167 and 173, respectively. The optical transmitance of 0.1% suspension of waxy barley starches increased rapidly from 51℃ to 75℃. Amylogram data on 5% of Changyoung and Smire starch solutions showed the gelatinization temperature of 63 and 62℃, maximum peak bight of 920 and 900 B.U., respectively. Waxy barley starches had higher swelling powers than non waxy barley starch. The starch pastes prepared from waxy barleys retrograded much slower than that of non waxy barley.
