Wheat flour and glutinous rice pastes added Kimchi were fermented at 10$^{\circ}C$ for 14 days. The numbers of total viable microorganisms and lactics were counted. Textural property by compression force and relevant changes in pectic composition were determined. Other physical properties such as color and viscosity of Kimchi juices were evaluated. Regarding the microorganism counts, the total cell counts of all Kimchi samples increased until 5th days but thereafter all decreased during fermentation. The number of lactics showed same tendency in all Kimchi samples. The compression force of control, wheat flour paste added Kimchi (WHFP-Kimchi) and glutinous rice paste added Kimchi (GLRP-Kimchi) decreased up to 72.0%, 77.0%, 66.5% respectively. During fermentation, hot water soluble pectin (HWSP) increased, whereas sodium hexametaphosphate soluble pectin (HXSP) and HCI soluble pectin (HCISP) decreased. The red chromaticity of all Kimchi juices decreased. The viscosity of all Kimchi samples decreased in the order of GLRP-Kimchi, WHFP-Kimchi and control.

The textural properties of doughs mixed with L-ascorbic acid (AA), trypsin hydrolyzed gluten peptide (THGP), and a mixture of AA-THGP were investigated using texture analyzer under the fermentation of the full formula and the freezing process. The full formula dough (FFD) required a shorter mixing time than the flour and water formula dough (FWD). The maximum resistance (Rmax) values of both the unfrozen and frozen doughs were lower for the FFD. The effects of AA and THGP additions were not significant (p<0.01) in FFD, however, they were significant in FWD. The freezing effect was significant (p<0.0001) for FFD, indicating that yeast fermented dough was much more sensitive to damage from freezing, which subsequently affected dough strength. Additions of AA (p=0.0026) and THGP (p=0.0097) had a significant effect on the extensibility (E-value) of unfrozen FWD, where THGP increased and AA decreased the E-value. However, freezing did not significantly effect the extensibilities of FWD (p=0.64) or FFD (p=0.21). The area of FFD was lower than the area of FWD for both the unfrozen and frozen doughs. However, the frozen dough mixed with THGP alone had the largest area overall. The addition of additives did not result in significantly different (p<0.01) areas under the curve, except in the frozen FFD. Freezing caused a statistically significant difference in the area of FWD (p=0.0045).

The purpose of this study is to determine potential effectiveness of sourdough starter powder (made of Korean wheat flour) in the quality characteristics of bread and in the substitution effect of a dough improver in bread baking. The bread containing sourdough starter powder was considered to be most suitable for making sourdough bread. As a result, SP 10 showed the best fermentation rate and the highest volume and specific volume. In sensory testing, SP 10 was most preferable among others. According to experimental comparison between optimal addition ratio of SP 10 and other sourdough starter powder products available in Korean domestic market, SI had the highest fermentation rate, highest volume and specific volume. Analysis of texture showed that SI was soft with the lowest hardness and the highest elasticity. Sensory test showed that SI was most preferable of all, and SP 10 was more preferable than BP. It was concluded that SP 10 was not less preferable in the aspect of preference at sensory test than other products. Hence, it is expected that sourdough starter powder made of Korean wheat flour will be possibly more popular and effective in replacing some portion of dough improver of baking.

The quality characteristics of noodles made from domestic Korean wheat flour added with 0, 1, 3, 5% cactus Chounnyuncho (Opuntia humifusa) powder were investigated. The water absorption and peak time of dough, as determined by farinography, increased with higher cactus powder content. Stability and elasticity of dough decreased as fermentation proceeded. Cooking characteristics of noodles made from dough such as weight, water absorption, and volume decreased with higher cactus powder content. The turbidity of cooked water increased significantly with 5% cactus powder content. For color test, L-value decreased while a-value and b-value increased with higher cactus powder content. In texture analyses, hardness, adhesiveness, springiness, cohesiveness, and gumminess increased with higher cactus powder content. In the sensory test, noodles containing 3% cactus powder were the most preferred.

The effects of charcoal powder on fermentation of dough and quality of bread were investigated. Charcoal powder was added to wheat flour at concentrations of 0, 0.05, 0.10 and 0.20% The fermentation time of dough with charcoal was reduced by 4 ~12 min compared with that of dough without charcoal. The loaf volume index of bread with 0.05% charcoal powder slightly increased. Bread with charcoal powder showed higher textural properties ( strength, hardness, springness, gumminess, and brittleness) except for cohesiveness than bread without charcoal powder. Color $L^{\ast}$ and $b^{\ast}$ values and hue angle of the top crust decreased while $a^{\ast}$ value increased with increasing charcoal concentrations. $L^{\ast}$ and $a^{\ast}$ values of the inside of bread decreased while hue angle increased with increasing charcoal concentrations. No significant difference in Pleasant taste between bread with and without charcoal powder was observed. However, bread with 0.1% charcoal powder showed the highest scores for pleasant odor, color, and overall acceptability.

In this study, a natural fermentation starter formulation was developed for manufacturing Korean bread products by substituting baker's yeast with naturally fermented blueberry starters. As the incubation time of the blueberry extracts increased, the pH and total titratable acidity increased. The sweetness (brix%) of blueberry extracts containing various amounts of sugar were higher than the other sample. The result of alcoholicity for naturally fermented blueberry extracts, the fermented blueberry extract containing 20% sugar was highest. Lactic acid bacteria counts increased until the 4th day; however, it decreased from the 5th day, and viable yeast counts increased consistently until the 5th day. The volume for naturally fermented blueberry extracts increased as the incubation time increased. As the fermentation time of blueberry starters increased, the pH of bread dough decreased. The RVA analysis conveyed that wheat flour retrogradation was retarded by increasing the blueberry starter content. The weight of pan breads containing blueberry starters were higher than that of the control, while the volume, specific volume and baking loss rate were lower than those of the control. The moisture content of pan breads containing blueberry starter decreased as storage time increased. In analyzing the visible mold colony during 7 days of storage at $28^{\circ}C$, mold growth in pan breads containing the blueberry starter was retarded. The hardness of breads containing blueberry starters were significantly increased as storage time increased. The breads containing 50% naturally fermented blueberry starter have acceptable sensory properties. In conclusion, these results indicated that 50% of natural fermentation blueberry starter could be very useful as a substitute for yeast when making naturally fermented bread.

The bread qualities were analyzed objectively by using CrumbScan software. Samples were prepared at the same conditions of mixing, fermentation, and baking time except the amount of Korean wheat flour (KWF). The bread volume was increased with increasing KWF, and the maximum volume was attained in the product of 20% KWF. Although the products of 20% and 30% KWF showed the same thickness of the crust, the crust was thinner than control when KWF was added. The size (fineness) and shape (elongation) of crumb cells were larger and rounder than control due to the low degree of elasticity of the KWF-added dough. Among the samples, the product with 20% KWF showed the most even distribution of crumb cells around the sliced area. The precise determination of external and internal characteristics of the bread was possible with Crumbscan, suggesting the possibility of developing industrial standards for bread.

In this study, rice was used with naturally fermented extract to compare and analyze the physico-chemical characteristics and investigated how to make pan bread made with domestic wheat flour added with naturally fermented rice extract. Also, it examined quality characteristics of pan breads prepared with 0, 10, 30, 50, 70% naturally fermented rice starters. As the fermentation time of rice starters increased, pH of bread doughs decreased. On farinograph, water absorption, development time and stability of rice starters samples were lower than the control. RVA(Rapid Visco Analyzer) analysis showed that wheat flour retrogradation was retarded by increasing rice starters content. The weights of pan breads containing rice starters were higher than that of control. The moisture content of pan breads containing rice starters decreased as storage time increased. In analyzing of visible mold colony during 7 days of storage at $28^{\circ}C$, pan breads containing rice starters was retarded mold growth. In the texture analyzer measurement, hardness of breads containing rice starters significantly increased as storage time increased, which was higher than that of control. The result of sensory properties was no significant difference between the group containing 50% naturally fermented rice starters and control group, such as appearance, flavor, taste and overall quality.

This study investigated the quality characteristics of white pan bread with Haenaru rice flour which is regional product of Dangjin. Haenaru rice flour was substituted 10%, 30% and 50% for each bread sample. The overall effects of Haenaru rice flour substitution on pan bread were examined by investigating fermentation rates, pH, volume, specific volume, TPA, crumbScan and colorimeter and using sensory evaluation. A control showed the highest fermentation rate by 60 min, but there was no differences among all samples except HNR50 after 60 min. The higher Haenaru rice flour content, the higher pH value of bread loaf and bread and the lower volume and specific volume of rice breads. According to TPA and crumbscan, high amounts of Haenaru rice flour substitution increased the hardness of bread and decreased fineness and elongation of bread cells. In sensory evaluation, though a control got the best texture, flavor and overall acceptance, HRF30 and HRF10 showed the best preference of appearance and taste respectively, But most of all, there were no significant differences among those samples. Consequently, the results indicate that a substitution of Haenaru rice flour for wheat flour by 30 percent will not show any decisive difference in consumer's acceptance.

Wheat is the most widely cultivated cereal and an important source of dietary protein worldwide. Wheat allergy, defined as an adverse immunologic reaction to wheat, encompasses a broad spectrum of disorders with different pathomechanisms and clinical manifestation. The Nuruk, a traditional Korean Koji for brewing, was made with wheat flour and fermenting microbes such as bacteria, yeast and mold. The strains grown on Nuruk secrete various enzymes as amylase and protease. By the activation of such enzymes, starch and proteins in Nuruk are hydrolyzed to sugar and amino acid. Therefore, it is supposed to reduce allergic proteins in wheat. To study quality properties and degradation degree of allergenicity in Nuruk by fermentation, we investigated the changes of general ingredients and allergenicity in Nuruk during fermentation. Moisture contents was decreased from 24.2% to 13.6% during fermentation. Crude lipid and protein contents were gradually increased during fermentation. After 15 days of fermentation, reducing sugar and total sugar contents were reached its maximum level, and they were 27.45% and 39.00%, respectively. Acid and neutral protease activity were significantly increased during fermentation, but alkaline protease activity was not detected. ${\alpha}$-amylase activity was gradually increased and showed maximum level about 2,833.00 U/g after 15 days of fermentation. Glucoamylase activity was the highest level about 497.9 U/g after 10 days of fermentation. The increase of these proteolytic and saccharogenic enzyme activities will provide efficient condition for production of rice wine. Also, protein fractions were isolated from Nuruk, and degradation of these proteins during fermentation were confirmed by SDS-PAGE. IgE immunoblotting using patient's sera with wheat allergy was performed to confirm allergenic protein in Nuruk. These results as fermentation of Nuruk will provide a useful tool for developing safer wheat products to prevent wheat allergy.
