The purpose of this study is to investigate if Korean wheat flour(KWF) can be used a sourdough ingredient. Gluten contents, pH levels, TTA levels, fermentation rates, mixograph, crumbScan and sensory evaluation were analyzed. The pH levels of sourdough starters ranged from 4.0 to 4.5 throughout all kinds of KWF, and they proved to be available as a sourdough starter. KWF 5 and KWF 6 showed the higher fineness and elongation of crumb grain than any other kind of Korean wheat flour, which were considered appropriate for making bread. KWF 6 scored good mark in the sensory evaluation for texture of crumb and color of crust among all kinds of KWF. In conclusion, although the sourdough bread with sourdough starter SF of bread flour showed the best result in the evaluation, KWF 6 was considered as a good sourdough starter since the result was shown better than CON.

In this study, the influence of mixed starter compositions using Saccharomyces cerevisiae and three mixed probiotics, including Bifidobacterium longum, Enterococcus faecium, and Lactobacillus acidophilus on sourdough and bread preparation was examined. The following probiotic and yeast mixing ratios were used: Exp. 1, probiotics:yeast=2.0:0.1; Exp. 2, 1.5:0.1; Exp. 3, 1.0:0.1 (g/g). Starters for the sourdough preparation were incubated separately for 15 hr, combined, then further incubated for 10 hr. Exp 2 resulted in an increase in the numbers of probiotics and yeast in sourdough by 100 times but reduced pH. This is also reflected by the extent of the acidity increase in sourdough produced in Exp. 2. Among the three groups, bread volume and crumb elongation increased in Exp. 2, but crumb fineness and aroma compounds were not significantly different. In a sensory evaluation, flavor, taste, and overall acceptance for the sourdough produced in Exp. 2 improved markedly.

This study investigated the quality characteristics and antioxidant activities of morning bread containing various amounts of aronia sourdough starter. Morning breads were prepared with different volumes (0% (AS0), 15% (AS1), 25% (AS2), and 35% (AS3)) of aronia sourdough starter based on wheat flour. In AS3 group (35% added group), the specific volume and baking loss rate were the highest but the bread height was the lowest. When the aronia sourdough starter was added up to 25%, the expansion power, specific volume, and bread height were significantly increased (P<0.05). According to the added amount of sourdough starters, the lightness and yellowness of the morning bread were decreased, however, redness was increased (P<0.05). In the rheology analysis, hardness, gumminess, and chewiness were significantly decreased with increasing amounts of aronia sourdough starters (P<0.05). However, cohesiveness was the highest in the AS2 group (25% added group). In consumer preference, the highest scores were shown in AS2 group (25% added group) in color, texture, and appearance. The total polyphenol and DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) radical scavenging ability were both significantly increased along with aronia sourdough content (P<0.05). In conclusion, morning bread with 25% aronia sourdough starter showed the best quality characteristics and antioxidant activities.

In this study, domestic wheat flour was used to develop a native sourdough suitable for the Korean environment, in an attempt to replace the sourdough starter that are currently available in local markets and used to prepare sourdough breads. Nine kinds of domestic wheat flour (available at local market) were examined and to characterized according to their general ingredients, gluten contents, colorimetry data and mixograph measurement. In addition, the flour were used to make sourdough starters that were assessed for pH, TTA, and fermentation rate from which an optimal sourdough starter could be chosen. This study also compared the product characteristics breads prepared from the with one another by adding extracted sourdough starters. In order to analyze the quality characteristics of the breads, a comparative analysis was conducted through on data for dough fermentation rate, specific volume, texture analyses, colorimetry, water activity and sensory tests. According to the results, the sourdough starters KWF 3, KWF 4 and KWF 5 scored well in evaluations for gluten content, wheat flour characteristics and pH, and were deemed the most optimal starters. To characterize the sourdough breads prepared from KWF 3, KWF 4, and KWF 5, their quality characteristics were analyzed and then compared to those sourdough bread (control group) prepared using a sourdough starter made from imported wheat flour. According to the comparative analysis of the quality characteristics, KWF 4 had the largest volume and specific volume, but had the lowest textural hardness, indicating the softest texture of overall. According to sensory tests, the bread prepared from KWF 4 was significantly more preferred than the other specimens.

The objective of this study was to investigate the physical characteristics of sourdough starter containing red koji rice (SD1: 0%, SD2: 10%, SD3: 20% and SD4: 40%) and to compare the quality characteristics of sourdough breads containing 10% red koji rice powder with those of sourdough bread containing with vollsauer powder (VPB) and white wheat bread (WWB) prepared with starter SD1. The activity of ${\beta}$-amylase increased with increasing amount of red koji rice. Organic acids of sourdough starter with red koji rice (SD2, SD3 and SD4) were higher than that of sourdough starter SD1. The peak time, peak value width of tail, pH, and L value were high in WWB, while the proofing power and a and b values of WWB were lower than those of VPB and sourdough bread containing SD1 (SPB1), SD2 (SPB2), SD3 (SPB3), or SD4 (SPB4). The lowest pH, baking loss, and specific volume were observed with the VPB. The baking loss of SPB4 (sourdough bread containing SD4) was the highest (13.01%). Overall, hardness and springiness were low in sourdough bread containing red koji rice powder, whereas sourness and off-flavor were higher than in VPB. Results of specific volumes, hardness and sensory evaluation indicated that the addition of 10% red koji rice powder to sourdough starter can improve the quality characteristics of the sourdough bread.

To investigate the effect of sourdough on the quality characteristics of barley bread, sourdough starlet with Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus sanfrancisco and Enterococcus mundtii was used for baking after 48 hours incubation at 37$\^{C}$. The specific volume of the bread containing sourdough starter was greater than that the control. Retarding of the firmness was observed in the bread with Lactobacillus sanfrancisco compared with the control and other breads. Above results suggest that sourdough starter fermented by Lactobacillus can be used as natural bread improver.

The influence of two process parameters (starter and fermentation period) on sourdough bread qualities was investigated. Bifidobacterium longum/Enterococcus faecium/Lactobacillus acidophilus (a mixed culture) was used as a starter. The five production conditions tested were: Control (sourdough fermentation with yeast); LAB 1(fermentation with mixed culture); LAB 2 (fermentation with yeast and mixed culture, respectively); LAB 3 (fermentation with yeast and mixed culture); and LAB 4 (first fermentation with yeast and mixed culture, respectively, followed by a second fermentation using the combination). The LAB 4 process showed the most favorable fermentation characteristics upon CrumbScan analysis, and the highest specific bread volume (5.14 mL/g). These results were reflected in the sensory evaluation of bread produced by the LAB 4 process; the bread achieved an excellent overall acceptance ranking of 3.7. Upon firmness analysis, the LAB 2, LAB 3, and LAB 4 bread figures were 113.67 g, 111.97 g, and 113.50 g, respectively. Thus, the firmness of LAB 2, LAB 3, and LAB 4 bread was higher than that of the control (93.20 g), although the aroma compounds of bread produced by the five processes did not differ. These results show that LAB 4 bread had improved sourdough properties, compared to control.
