The purpose of this study was to evaluate the quality characteristics and antioxidant activities of noodles added with Rehmanniae Radix Preparata powder (RP). Wheat flour noodles were prepared with four levels of RP (0, 2.5, 5, and 7.5%). Moisture absorption of RP added noodles was somewhat greater than that of control. The turbidity of RP noodles decreased according to addition of RP. Hunter L (lightness) and b (yellowness) values of RP added noodles decreased according to addition of RP amount. Textural properties (measured by a texture analyzer), hardness, and springiness of RP noodles up to 5% were not significantly different from those of control. Antioxidant activity of RP added noodles increased according to addition of RP: $IC_{50}$ values of DPPH radical scavenging activity for raw noodles was 3.77 mg/g, whereas values of raw noodles with RP 2.5 and 7.5% were 3.69 mg/g and 2.47 mg/g, respectively. Polyphenol content increased according to addition of RP. Amylogram showed that RP addition increased initial gelatinization temperature, decreased breakdown, and reduced setback and consistency, which indicates protection against retrogradation. The sensory preference test revealed that cooked noodles with added 2.5% RP showed the highest scores for color, odor, taste, and overall preference. It is suggested that RP up to 2.5% could be substituted for wheat flour to improve noodle quality.

To improve the properties of non-waxy rice flours for baking, soaked-wet milled rice flour (SWRF) was adjusted moisture content (MC) to 30 and 50 % and heated at 50 and $70^{\circ}C$ in a shaking water bath for 6 and 18 hrs, respectively. Moisture-heat treated rice flours were investigated with regard to particle size distribution, and morphological, physicochemical and pasting properties for comparing dry and wet milled flours. The particle size of rice flour treated with 30% MC was distributed between $4-20{\mu}m\;and\;100-200{\mu}m$, like SWRF. The particles above $200{\mu}m$ in the flour were produced at higher heating temperature. By SEM, starch granules were found in the rice flours treated with 30% MC, who whereas aggregated starch granules were shown in the flours treated with 50% MC. Moisture-heat treatment using higher MC and heating temperature decreased the lightness and increased the yellowness of non-waxy rice flours. Water binding capacity of 30% moisture treated rice flour was similar to that of SWRF. In the same moisture treated rice flour, swelling power was higher, but solubility was lower at $50^{\circ}C$ than at $70^{\circ}C$. The initial pasting temperature by RVA increased after moisture-heat treatment. The peak viscosity of moisture-heat treated rice flour was higher for 30% moisture than that of the others. The rice flour treated with 30% MC and heated at $50^{\circ}C$ showed low setback and increased stability for retrogradation.

To prepare ready-to-use rice flour as de novo material for processed rice foods, glutinous(W) and normal rice grains (N) were soaked for 1, 8, and 12 hours prior to processing. One half (DG) was air-dried and milled, and the other (WG) was milled and air-dried. General, morphological and pasting properties of the flours (NDG, NWG, WDG, WWG) were compared to those of a control (raw milled rice without soaking). The general compositions of the rice flours varied with soaking. Crude ash was considerably decreased at the beginning of soaking (1 hour). With the soaking, the rice flour, having polygonal shaped particles and a layered surface, acquired particles with smooth edges, which were then uniformly distributed. Additionally, the WG flour was lighter and had a lower ${\Delta}E$ value than the DG flour, due to a higher L and less +b as a result of soaking. Compared to the control, the WBC of the normal rice flour was decreased significantly with soaking, and the WG flour had significantly lower WBCs than the DG flour. Stirring number (SN), an indicator of ${\alpha}-amylase$ activity, was highly and significantly correlated with WBC (r=-0.85, p=0.0001) in the normal rice flour. At $80^{\circ}C$, the SP and solubility of all the soaked rice flours were much higher than those of the control. Positive (r=+0.85, p=0.0001) and negative (r=-0.61, p=0.02) correlations between the SP and solubility of the normal and glutinous rice flours were found, respectively. Using RVA, the pasting temperature of NDG was lower than that of NWG (p<0.0001). The peak viscosities of all the soaked flours were significantly decreased with soaking (p<0.0l), with the highest viscosity in the normal rice flour soaked for 8 hrs. Total setback, indicative of retrogradation, was lower in NDG than in NWG, with the lowest setback at 8 hrs of' soaking. Based on these finding, the NDG flour with 8 hrs of soaking was less damaged, and had a lower total setback and lower pasting temperature, which would make it an appropriate rice flour for commercial mass production.

Baking quality of dough made of flour substituted with insoluble ${\beta}-glucan$ (10, 20, and 30%), functional food material produced from Agrobacterium spp. R259 KCTC 10197BP, was evaluated. Optimum time to reach 1st stage of dough fermentation decreased with increasing ${\beta}-glucan$ content, whereas mixing time increased. Addition of ${\beta}-glucan$ did not affect pH of dough. Hunter color L, a, and b values of dough added with up to 20% ${\beta}-glucan$ were not significantly different from those of control. Rheology properties such as cohesiveness and springiness of ${\beta}-glucan$ added dough increased, while hardness and gumminess decreased. Amylogram showed addition of ${\beta}-glucan$ to flour lowered setback and consistency, which are suggested to delay retrogradation.

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.

In order to improve the storage stability of steamed bread, fermented pine needle extract syrup potentially with several functional properties was added in manufacturing the products at levels of 8.3, 11 and 18% based on Brix degree of the dough. The manufactured bread was stored at ambient conditions and measured for quality attributes. Dough added with the fermented pine needle extract syrup maintained its pH and water activity at levels of $5.45{\sim}5.90\;and\;0.94{\sim}0.96$, which are normally suitable for yeast fermentation and for appropriate dough hardness. Addition of the extract syrup increased the bread volume by more than 20%. The bread with higher content of the pine needle extract syrup showed slower increase of bread hardness during storage, suggesting retardation of bread retrogradation. The addition of the pine needle extract syrup in bread dough also inhibited growth of the aerobic bacteria and molds on the bread surface (by $0.8{\sim}24$ in log (CFU/g) at 4 day storage). Use of higher than 11% concentration presented initially a strong fine needle flavor to the bread, which disappeared soon after 2 days. Generally addition of the pine needle extract syrup did not give negative effects on the bread quality including sensory quality. Therefore, the addition of the needle extract syrup could contribute to improving the storage stability and extending the shelf life of the bread.

The gelatinization phenomena of bracken root starch were examined by means of the loss of birefringence, degree of digestibility by amylase and X-ray diffraction. These results indicated that gelatinization temperature of the starch was $55{\sim}60^{\circ}$ and over 95% of starch were gelatinized at the temperature between 60 and $70^{\circ}C$. The swelling power of the bracken root starch was much less steeper than that of potato or tapioca starch. Amylograph data on the various starch concentrations showed the pasting temperature of $62{\sim}68^{\circ}$, peak height of $80{\sim}840$ Brabender unit (BU) and peak after cooling to $50^{\circ}C$ of $110{\sim}555\;BU.$. According to the information obtained from amylograph data, the bracken root starch showed low set back. The rate of retrogradation of the starch as tested by Texturometer was slower and faster than that of potato and tapioca starches, respectively.

Starch phosphates were prepared from the corn starch mixed with 2% sodium tripolyphosphate by twin-screw extruder with a feed rate of 20 kg/hr and an extrusion temperature of $130^{\circ}C$, and the effects of extrusion variables on the physicochemical properties (target parameters) of starch phosphates were investigated. Interrelations of system parameters (specific mechanical energy and extrudate moisture) and rheological properities of starch was analyzed by using the response surface analysis. Degree of substitution (DS) was increased with increasing the feed moisture, and showed the maximum value at the screw of near 250 rpm, Degree of gelatinization was proportionally increased with increasing the screw speed and decreasing the feed moisture. Apparent viscosity of the paste was increased with increasing the feed moisture, but it was not significantly affected by the screw speed. It was found by scanning electron microscopy that the starch microgranules were much more degradaded, and as consequent result, the intrinsic viscosity was decreased, whereas, water solubility index was increased. The rate of retrogradation of the gels was retarded with increasing DS and decreasing viscosity.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of black foods (black rice and black garlic) and the ratio of black garlic on the quality of Sulgiddeok. Pasting properties as measured by a rapid visco analyzer (RVA) were lower for black rice flour than white rice flour. Colorimetric analysis revealed that L, a, b values were dependent on the type of rice. For texture profiles, texture was associated with RVA profiles. During storage, hardness of black rice Sulgiddeok increased to a lesser degree than that of control. After observation via scanning electron microscopy (SEM), black rice Sulgiddeok showed a honeycomb-like network structure. In sensory analysis, black rice Sulgiddeok showed a tendency to prefer the control. The addition of appropriate black garlic (BG1) helped to improve the quality. In accordance with the aforementioned results, decreased retrogradation related to black rice Sulgiddeok and black foods (black rice and black garlic) could result in quality products with high nutritional value.

Pregelitinized rice (PR), pregelitinized waxy rice (PWR), and pregelitinized rice flour (PRF) were evaluated for physico-chemical properties comparing with rice starch and acetylated potato starch. L value was decreased during drum drying. PFR had the highest value (P<0.05) for water absorption index and PWR had the highest value for water solubility index. Transmittance of gelitinized samples had drastically increased at $80{\sim}90^{\circ}C$. PWR had the highest value for apparent viscosity and rice samples had a steady apparent viscosity during heating at $90^{\circ}C$. Viscosity was decreased as pH decreased at room temperature and drastically decreased below pH 2. Rice starch and PR had no significant effect for change of pH. Change of viscosity had more effect for hot temp. than room temp.. Pregelitinized samples showed only second peak for DSC. PWR had the lowest value for degree of retrogradation and acetylated potato starch had the highest value for freeze-thaw-stability.
