The effects of white bread supplemented with konjac glucomannan on diet-induced obesity in rats were investigated. Four groups of male Sprague-Dawley rats were examined: a non-obese control group (NC), an obese high fat diet group (HF), an obese high fat diet group given bread supplemented with 10% konjac glucomannan (KGM1) and an obese high fat diet group given bread supplemented with 20% konjac glucomannan (KGM2). The daily weight gain of the KGM1 group increased slightly and decreased in the KGM2 group compared to the HF group. The serum triglycerides, total lipid, total cholesterol, and HDL-cholesterol increased in the HF compared to the NC group, whereas they decreased in KGM1 and KGM2 groups. After having this experimental diet for 6 weeks, the body weight in KGM1 and KGM2 groups decreased compared to the HF group. While the initial R$\ddot{o}$hrer index was 23.13 in the NC group, and 31.50~32.59 in the HF, KGM1, and KGM2 groups, the index after the experimental diets for 6 weeks was 28.39 in the NC group, 36.88 in the HF group, 33.48 in the KGM1 group and 29.64 in the KGM2 group. The level of body fat increased from 1% to 7.14% in the NC group, from 15.60% to 60.05% in the HF group, and from 10.60% to 10.83% in the KMG1 group, but decreased from 10.45% to 8.20% in the KGM2 group. These results demonstrate that white bread with glucomannan is effective in reducing body weight and serum lipids in high fat diet-induced obese rats.

Yacon (Smallanthus sonchifolius) contains high amounts of fructooligosaccharides and has been known to promote health of the intestinal tract and to have anti-oxidative and anti-cancer activities. Yacon concentrates were added to make five different pan breads, each with the addition 0% (YE 0), 25% (YE 25), 50% (YE 50), 75% (YE 75), and 100% (YE 100) of yacon concentrates instead of sugar. The higher the yacon concentration in the dough, the more time was needed for the dough to rise. Higher yacon concentration also affected the color of the bread by lowering the L-value and raising the a and b values. The hardness and chewiness of the bread significantly decreased with increasing yacon concentration, while cohesiveness increased. In the bread sensory evaluation, the intensity of crust color, crumb color, yacon flavor, sweetness, yacon taste, moistness, and residual mouth feel were increased with increasing yacon concentrates, while the uniformity of crumb pores slightly decreased. The consumer acceptance of taste, flavor, texture, and overall acceptance were increased with increasing yacon concentrations. As a conclusion, the substitution of yacon concentrates for sugar improved bread quality and increased consumer acceptance.

This study was carried out to evaluate the effect of ${\beta}$-glucan on rheological properties of flour dough and quality characteristics of white pan bread. Flour dough and white pan bread fortified with ${\beta}$-glucans at levels of 0%, 3%, 6% and 9% w/w. Farinograph and amylograph were analysed for the rheological properties. Loaf volume and specific loaf volume, moisture content, texture and sensory evaluation were also analysed for the quality characteristics. In the farinograph test, water absorption and dough development time of doughs increased with increasing ${\beta}$-glucan content. Especially, water absorption of dough fortified with 9% of ${\beta}$-glucan showed 13% higher than the control. However, the addition of ${\beta}$-glucan to the dough decreased stability. There were no significant differences on gelatinization temperature and maximum viscosity temperature regardless of ${\beta}$-glucan contents, but maximum viscosity increased with increasing ${\beta}$-glucan contents. Loaf volume and specific loaf volume of white pan bread decreased slightly with increasing ${\beta}$-glucan contents. Moisture content showed higher value in tests than that of the control, and the one added with 6% revealed highest moisture content. In terms of texture analysis, the one added with 6% of ${\beta}$-glucan revealed softer than the others. There were no differences between the groups added with 3% and with 6% on sensory evaluation, but the one added with 9% obtained lowest scores. As a result of this study, 6% of ${\beta}$-glucan is considered the resonable level to prepare healthy white pan bread. ${\beta}$-glucan can also be used when making cake and cookies.

In this study, the breads with medicinal herbs (MH) composites showing cognitive function were prepared and their characteristics were examined. Fifteen kinds of medicinal herbs were extracted with hot water and divided into 3 groups (MH-1, MH-2, MH-3) based on their contents. All groups showed cognitive function in terms of promoting muscarinic receptor, NMDA receptor and acetylcholinesterase inhibition. In the preparation of breads containing MH extracts of various contents (0, 10, 20, 30, and 50%), there were no significant difference among loaf weight of all groups, but loaf volume of all groups were significantly (p<0.05) decreased with increasing content of MH extracts compared to the control group. The "a" and "b" values of bread crumb increased with the content of MH extracts while "L" value decreased, but these values of bread crust were similar to the control group. The most improvements in hardness, fracturability, cohesiveness, gumminess and chewiness of bread were noticed by the addition of 10$\sim$20% MH extracts, while adhesiveness and springiness of bread were the most by the 30% addition ones. Through the sensory evaluation, it was revealed that appearance, mouth feeling, taste, overall preference and crumb texture of bread were not significantly different (p<0.05) between control and those with the 10% addition ones. Therefore the 10% addition ones, which got similar scores to control, will make the most desirable product.

In order to make use of Job's tears widely, Job's tears starch was analyzed and determinded the contents of amylose, amylographical and other physicochemical properties. And also the yeast breads and rice cakes were made from flour and rice flours with various mixing ratios of Job's tears flour and then they were tested for suitability to preparation of bread and rice cake. 1. The starch contents of Job's tears showed 12~20%. Which was about one third of rice or waxyrice starch. But amounts of crude proteins, fats, and total ashes in Job's tears were higher than rice or waxyrice. Job' tears starch was composed of amylopectins only, and was similar to that of waxyrice starch. 2. Depends upon the Amylogram of each starch, initial gelatinization temperature of Job's tears starch was the highest among three starches of rice, waxyrice, and Job's tears. Maximum viscosity of Job's tears starch was 860BU, then it was about two times of rice starch viscosity. 3. By the sensory evaluation results, the taste of bread prepared with mixing of 10% Job's tears flour was better than flour bread and the volume and grains of the bread made from mixing of 10%, 20% Job's tears flour were similar to that of flour bread, but the taste, volume and grains of bread made from 30% mixed flour were undesirable. The rice cake Prepared from mixed flour with 25% Job's tears flour has shown to be desirable.

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of soybean protein isolate (SPI) on the baking qualities of bread which was made of composite flour blended with SPI extracted at acidic (pH 2.0, 3.0), neutral (pH 7.0) and alkaline (pH 10.0, 12.0) conditions. The mixogram showed that water absorption of composite flour dough blended with SPI extracted at pH 2.0 and 12.0 was higher than that of 100% wheat flour dough, and mixing time was shorter than that of 100% wheat flour dough. No differences were found between the composite flour blended with SPI at level of 5% and 100% wheat flour on the loaf volume of bread. The loaf volume of bread made of composite flour blended with $SPI_2\;AND\;SPI_3$ at level of 10% was lower than that of 100% wheat flour, but that of $SPI_7,\;SPI_{10},\;and\;SPI_{12}$, which had higher emulsion capacity than $SPI_2,\;SPI_3$ was similar to that of 100% wheat flour. No differences were found between the composite flour blended with SPI at level of 5% and that of 100% wheat flour on springiness, chewiness, cohesiveness, gumminess, adhesiveness and hardness of bread. The composite flour blended with SPI at level of 10% was similar to 100% wheat flour on springiness, chewiness, cohesiveness, gumminess, adhesiveness and hardness of bread except for chewiness, gumminess and hardness of $SPI_2,\;and\;SPI_{12}$ which were significantly higher than that of 100% wheat flour (P<0.05).

This study investigated quality characteristics and sensory properties of gluten-free bread using teff flour and various gums. The five samples used in this study were control (wheat flour), T (teff flour), TG (teff flour, guar gum), TX (teff flour, xanthan gum), and TGX (teff flour, guar gum, xanthan gum). Baking loss, moisture content, pH, salinity, brix, dough expansion, color value, texture property, and sensory property were measured for each sample. As a result, pH was the highest in TX at 6.11 and the lowest in the control at 5.77. Salinity was the highest in the control at 0.80% and lowest in TG at 0.04%. Brix was the lowest in TX at $1.10^{\circ}Bx$. While moisture content was the highest in the control at 43.58%, gluten-free breads using teff flour had no significant difference (p<0.05). Baking loss rate of bread was no significant difference among samples (p<0.05). Dough expansion rate by fermentation was the highest in the control at 108.89% and the lowest in T at 17.84%. L-value of crust had no significant difference (p<0.05). For L-value of crumb, the control was the highest at 64.34 and T was the lowest at 33.84. In texture properties analysis, hardness was the highest in TGX at 16.00 N and the lowest in the control at 2.87 N. There was no significant difference in springiness (p<0.05). Chewiness was the highest in TX and TGX. The result of sensory properties was that while there were no significant differences in color, salty taste, flavor, and overall acceptability, there was a significant difference in softness and sweetness (p<0.05). These results showed that use of teff flour and gums rather than using only teff flour for bread manufacturing can improve quality characteristics in dough expansion and texture properties. It is considered that xanthan gum or guar gum are appropriate on bread using teff for quality characteristics.

This study was conducted in order to evaluate the effect of black garlic extract on quality characteristics of white pan bread. White pan bread contained black garlic extract at levels of 0%, 5%, 10%, and 15% based on flour. Analysis of volume and specific loaf volume, water activity, texture, crumb color, and sensory evaluation of white pan bread were performed. As the amount of black garlic extract increased, volume and specific loaf volume decreased. Hardness, Max. G (maximum gram), gumminess, and cohesiveness by texture analyser showed a higher value in treatment, however, in hardness, no differences were observed between control and treatment with addition of 5% black garlic extract. In crumb color analysis, as the amount of black garlic extract increased, L value decreased and values for a and b increased. On sensory evaluation, no differences were observed between control and treatment containing 5% black garlic extract, however, addition of more than 10% resulted in lower scores. As a result of this study, 5% black garlic extract was considered a reasonable level for preparation of a health promoting white pan bread.

This study was conducted to evaluate the quality characteristics. Trehalose was used to manufacture rice bread in two ways: one was to substitute trehalose for sugar by (0, 25, 50, and 75%) trehalose in each sample and the other was to analyze the temporal changes in rice bread on Day 0, on Day 2, and on Day 4. The results concerning the characteristics of specific volumes, water content, water activity, variation in weight and height, physical property test, and sensory test and measurements of the temporal changes are as follows: First, as for variation in specific volumes, rice bread containing trehalose had the content and temporal changes decrease significantly (p<0.001). Second, as for texture, a higher trehalose content led to a slightly lower level of hardness. As for the temporal changes, addition of trehalose is generally effective in decreasing hardness of rice bread. the sample containing trehalose showed an almost similar value. The control group not containing trehalose showed the significantly lowest level of cohesiveness, springiness, Chewiness. Finally, the sensory evaluations revealed that the taste, Flavor, and Sweetness was at a significantly higher level in the group with trehalose substituted for sugar than in the control group. An increase in the trehalose content led to an increase in overall eating quality.

This study was carried out to investigate the quality characteristics of bread added with Aronia powder. Breads were prepared with different amounts of Aronia powder (in ratios of 0, 1, 3, 5, and 10% of total flour). As the Aronia powder content increased, the pH level decreased while total acidity increased. For color, bread added with 10% Aronia powder showed low lightness and yellowness but high redness. As the Aronia powder content increased, antioxidant activity, total polyphenol content, and baking loss also significantly increased. For the preservation period, breads added with Aronia showed mold growth within 4 days, whereas the control showed growth within 2 days. Bread added with 10% Aronia showed strong retrogradation. In the sensory evaluation, appearance, color, and overall acceptance of bread added with 3% Aronia showed remarkably higher values than both the control and others samples.
