To utilize sea tangle single cell detritus (SCD) as food additive, SCD noodle was developed using mixture model. Flour improved, whereas water decreased texture of SCD noodles. Texture of SCD noodle decreased initially and then increased as SCD content increased. Flour and SCD increased, whereas water decreased $L^*$ and $b^*$ values of dried and cooked noodles. Flour decreased $a^*$ values of dried and cooked noodles, while SCD increased $a^*$ value of cooked noodle. Response constraint coefficient showed SCD influence on texture, and $L^*$ and $b^*$ values of dried and cooked noodles was higher than those of flour and water, whereas water influence on $a^*$ value was higher than those of flour and SCD. Texture and color values fitted nonlinear model with interaction terms for flour-water, flour-SCD, and water-SCD. Optimum mixing ratio value of flour : water : SCD was 63.3 : 31.0 : 3.7%. Sensory evaluation value of SCD noodles was lower than those of industrial and electrolyzed SCD noodles.

We investigated physico-chemical properties of hard wheat flours for frozen yeast-raised breadmaking and freezing stability of frozen dough prepared by the straight no-time method. The general Composition of wheat flours were : moisture ; 14.0%, ash ; 0.48%. protein ; 13.15%, and dry gluten ; 13.43%. In farinograph data, development time and water absorption were 5.5 mimutes and 62 %, respectively. Amylograph maximum viscosity was 500 BU. Resistance to extention increased with the time and their extensibility decreased in the extensigraph data. From these results obtained from these physico-chemical properties, it was confirmed that the used wheat flours were most suitable for bread-baking. Considering effect of gassing power on cold storage period and fermentation time, it was effective that dough temperature should be adjusted to $20^{\circ}C$ in order to decrease freezing injury and maintain freezing stability.

This study was carried out to characterize the color of noodle sheet made from Korean wheat cultivars, which were then evaluated on grain and flour properties, in order to enhance the breeding-line selection for noodle wheat. In particular, a rapid method was applied to investigate the effects of iron (Fe) contents on the lightness of noodle sheet for the selection of breeding-lines with high Fe contents. Wheat flour lightness of Korean wheat cultivars had a negative correlation with ash (r = -0.634, P<0.01), protein (r = -0.635, P<0.01) and total polyphenols (r = -0.493, P<0.05). The noodle sheet color showed a positive correlation with lightness, but a negative correlation with test weight, 1000 kernels weight, PPO activity and total polyphenol contents. Also, upon the wheat flour properties, the ash, protein and total polyphenol contents had a negative correlation with the lightness of noodle sheet, and this relation varied depending on the year and cultivars. The Fe content had a negative relation with the color of wheat flour and the lightness of noodle sheet, and the potassium hexacyanoferrate(II) trihydrate (PHT) test resulted in blue color. There was no correlation between Fe contents and the color of grains with PHT treatment, but after grounding the whole grains, a negative correlation was found between Fe contents and redness (r = -0.665, P<0.001) and yellowness (r = -0.658, P<0.001) of whole wheat flour with PHT treatment. On the other hand, the lightness of wheat flour with PHT treatment showed a negative relation with Fe content.

Four kinds of makgeolli brewed with different proportions of rice and wheat flour were prepared to investigate the effects of the carbohydrates source on the storage properties, and to examine the chemical characteristics and BA (biogenic amine) contents in makgeolli stored over 30 days at 4, 10 and $20^{\circ}C$, respectively. The chemical properties and BA contents were sustained at a consistent level for those makgeolli stored at $4^{\circ}C$ over 30 days. The alcohol content was significantly higher for makgeolli brewed with higher proportions of rice (R) over wheat flour (WF) (R 100: WF 0, R 70: WF 30) when compared with those brewed with a high proportion of wheat flour (R 30: WF 70, R 0: WF 100), and increased with increasing storage temperature and duration. The free amino acid contents of makgeolli brewed with high proportion of rice were significantly lower under the same conditions. Among the 8 BAs examined, tyramine, putrescine, cadaverine and phenylethylamine were detected, while tyramine and putrescine were mainly detected. Histamine was not detected throughout storage. Makgeolli brewed with rice as the only carbohydrate source exhibited very low levels of total BA during 30 days of storing at $20^{\circ}C$. Total BA contents of R100, R70, R30, R0 were 178.6, 682.9, 1186.7 and 1150.4 mg/L, respectively. These results suggest that makgeolli brewed with relatively higher proportions of rice have better storage properties and are safer for consumption.

In an attempt to develop composite flours based on raw materials available in Korea, six domestic resources were investigated with respect to their physical and chemical properties, nutritive value and economy. The results are summarized as follows: 1) Flours from naked barley, sweet potato, potato, corn, defatted rice bran and defatted soybean were compared in respect of their proximate composition, thiamine content and protein score. 2) In color comparison, naked barley and defatted soy flours were comparable to wheat flour whereas corn and sweet potato flours were a little inferior. In raising power, naked barley and defatted soy flours were similar to wheat flour and others were inferior. 3) In maximum viscosity of flours by amylograph, naked barley, corn and potato flours were higher than wheat flour and others were lower. In viscosity in cooling, corn flour was similar to wheat flour and naked barley and potato flours were lower. Addition of $10{\sim}20%$ defatted soy flour into other flours generally caused the lowering of viscosity. Addition of emulsifiers such as glyceryl monostearate, calcium stearyl lactylate, Methocel and Emulthin into the flours manifested different effects on the amylogram. 4) In nutritional test by rat, diets consisting of naked barley, sweet potato, potato or corn flours, each containing defatted soy flour (at 10% level with exception of 20% for sweet potato flour) and naked barley flour fortified with lysine were similar to wheat flour in digestibility, but were superior in NPU and biological value. 5) In price estimation, sweet potato and corn flours were competitive with wheat flour, but naked barley flour was a little expensive. On the other hand, barley and sweet potato are promising in terms of domestic production.

Kojis were prepared from the different starch raw materials such as glutinous rice, barley rice, wheat flour and sweet potato, and were tested in an effort to reduce production cost and to improve quality of Kochuzang(red pepper paste). During the starting period of Koji preparation, there were less significant changes in pH; however, pH decreased somehow in the case of sweet potato, whereas it increased for the other Kojis. In general, the highest acidity was obtained after 72 hours of Koji preparation. Total nitrogen, soluble nitrogen and amino-nitrogen content increased in order of wheat flour, barley rice, and glutinous rice; Kojis they were markedly produced between 72 and 96 hours of Koji preparation. The maximum amount of reducing sugar was observed between 48 and 72 hours of Koji preparation during this period the reducing sugar content varied widely depending on starch source. Sweet potato Koji produced the highest level of ethyl alcohol content after 72 hours of Koji preparation; for the other Koji the same trends were observed after 24 hours. The starch liquefying activities have reached the highest level after 96 hours and for glutinous rice and barley rice; however, they kept on increasing until 120 hours for wheat flour and sweet potato. Koji Starch liquefying and saccharogenic amylase activities tended to increase in order of sweet potato, glutinous rice, barley rice and wheat flour. Kojis Various protease activities were measu-red during the Koji preparation, and they increased in order of alkali, neutral and acidic protease.

This study aimed to characterize and compare makgeolli (a Korean rice wine) made using different raw materials. Five cultivars of rice and wheat flour were used as starch materials for makgeolli and assessed for their moisture, crude lipid, crude protein, and crude dietary fiber content. Overall, wheat flour was higher in crude lipid and crude protein and lower in moisture than rice. Makgeolli characteristics were assessed for pH, total acids, organic acids, free sugars, color and appearance. We found no significant differences in pH and total acids between makgeolli made from rice and wheat flour. In addition, the major free sugar in the makgeolli made from rice and wheat flour was glucose, although the content of total free sugars was lower in the wheat flour makgeolli (67.75 mg/mL) than the rice makgeolli (76.41~84.53 mg/mL). In terms of organic acids content, the total organic acid content was highest in the wheat flour makgeolli, while the major organic acids of the makgeolli made from rice and wheat flour were lactic acid and succinic acid, respectively. There were no significant differences in color values among rice makgeolli, but the rice makgeolli was higher in sensory scores (indicating preference) than the wheat flour makgeolli. As the degree of milling increased, moisture, crude lipid, and crude protein in the rice decreased. Acetic acid in the makgeolli also decreased, while there were no significant differences in pH, total acids, free sugars, color values, and sensory scores (except fruitiness). Traditional nuruk (TN) and cultured nuruk (CN) were compared as fermentation starters. Nuruk is a Korean traditional starter for fermentation of makgeolli and a raw material for makgeolli making. The pH in the makgoelli made with TN and CN were 4.29~4.65 and 4.02~4.23, respectively. Total organic acid content was higher in the TN makgeolli (3.5~6.3 mg/mL) compared to the CN makgeolli (2.3~4.3 mg/mL). The content of free sugars in the makgeolli made with CN was higher (59.44~73.34 mg/mL) than that with TN (56.45~59.75 mg/mL). The Hunter color test showed that makgeolli made with TN was lighter and higher in red and yellow color compared to CN. Overall sensory acceptability was higher in the CN makgeolli compared to the TN makgeolli.

The baking quality of flours produced from Dark Northern Spring(DNS). Hard Red Winter(HRW) and Australian Standard White(ASW) were examined. To improve the baking quality of HRW and ASW, oxidants such as dehydroascorbic acid(DHA) and potassium bromate$(KBrO_3)$ were added. The protein content of HRW was about 3% higher than that of ASW but the specific volume of the baked gluten extracted from HRW and ASW were nearly same. By addition of DHA 100ppm and $KBrO_3$ 50ppm as oxidants to HRW and ASW, the farinogram's stability was strengthened and departure time, time to breakdown were extended. The specific volume of the bread based on HRW was very small but it was improved significantly by addition of oxidants. According to the quality scoring of bread, the breads based on DNS, HRW and ASW were 93, 72 and 75, respectively. The baking quality of HRW was improved by DHA and $KBrO_3$ but not much in ASW.

The effects of barnyard millet (Echinochloa spp.) content (10~30%) on wheat flour dough and noodle properties were investigated. As the amount of barnyard millet increased, the particle size and ash content of mixed flour increased, while lightness tended to decrease. The gelatinization characteristics of millet flour showed higher peak viscosity, holding strength, final viscosity, and setback compared with wheat flour. There was significant positive correlation between protein content and sedimentation volume, as well as between protein content and water absorption. As the amount of barnyard millet increased, hardness, springiness and cohesiveness of wet noodles tended to decrease. From the results of sensory evaluation, composite flours (addition up to 20% barnyard millet) were rated with a quality score for taste and overall acceptance which was comparable with the control flour.

The principal objective of this study was to determine the effects of wheat flour ferment cultured with Lactobacillus acidophilus, specifically with regard to the preservation of noodles. The results showed that the addition of ferment to wheat flour during noodle preparation reduced the pH of the noodles, and no significant difference was observed in the L and ${\Delta}E$ values of the noodles adding 5% ferment. Total bacterial levels were decreased in the wet noodles to which more than 10% ferment was added, by a factor of log $10^3$ as compared to the levels seen in the control during storage. Deterioration became apparent at 4 days of storage in regular wet noodles, but did not occur until 6 days in the wet noodles to which 5% ferment was added, and not until 8 days of storage in the noodles to which 10% ferment was added. Cooked noodles deteriorated at 8 days after the beginning of storage, but the addition of 5% and 10% ferment extended that time to 12 days and 14 days, respectively. It was concluded that flour ferment cultured with L. acidophilus exerts favorable preservation effects on noodles and breads.
