The objective of this study was to investigate an influence of chitosan addition on quality attributes of sponge cake. The cake was made with various chitosan concentration (1,000, 2,000, and 3,000 ppm), and it was stored for 120 hr at three temperatures (5, 15, and $25^{\circ}C$). By analyzing the moxogram data of wheat flour-chitosan composite flour, the ascending angle of the samples containing chitosan was sharply increased and the descending angle had lower values compared to that of control as the chitosan addition concentration was increased. The loaf weights and volumes of the samples with chitosan were increased compared to those of the control. Crumb firmness of the control showed relatively high value compared to those ($5\~6$ N) of other samples containing chitosan regardless of storage temperature and storage period, and the firmness after 5 days storage at $5^{\circ}C$ showed the highest value (about 9.3 N). Sensory evaluation attributes of sponge cakes did not show significant differences by chitosan addition up to concentration of 2,000 ppm.

For the purpose to verify the physico­chemical properties of Korean waxy wheat, comparative analyses between waxy wheat lines and their respective maternal parents were performed on mixing and pasting properties, and flour particle sizes. The particle sizes of waxy wheat flour were significantly larger than those of their parents when milled in a same condition. Although the protein contents of flour in waxy wheat lines tested were high as much as those of bread wheat, the quality parameters showed lower baking uses based on sedimentation volumes and mixing characteristics. Waxy flour required more water than non-waxy flour to obtain the proper mixogram. Waxy wheat flour showed more or less higher onset pasting temperatures and much higher breakdown viscosities than their respective parent flour in the Rapid Viscograph test. Moreover, peak viscosity temperatures and final viscosities were dramatically reduced in waxy wheat lines by showing $79.4 - 81.7^{\circ}C$ and 101 ­116.9 RVU, respectively, compared to their parents in that the temperatures above $95^{\circ}C$ and the viscosity ranges of 148 -171.8 RVU.
