This study was carried out to investigate the components of organic acids and flavour in flour ferment composed of water, flour, seed mash, yeast and lactic acid bacteria. The pH and TTA in the control (flour ferment without seed mash and lactic bacteria) were 5.6 and 2.5, respectively at 6 hrs after culturing; however, those in flour ferment with seed mash and different lactic acid bacteria were 4.63-4.69 and 9.0-9.9, respectively. Organic acid contents were propionic acid 0.09 mg/g, lactic acid 0.06 mg/g and acetic acid 0.04 mg/g in flour ferment without seed mash, whereas lactic acid 0.23-0.27 mg/g, propionic acid 0.21 mg/g, and acetic acid 0.06-0.08 mg/g in flour ferment with seed mash and lactic acid bacteria. Flavour compounds including ethyl capylate, ethyl caproate, ethyl acetate, ethyl caprate and phenylethyl acetate were detected to be high in flour ferment with seed mash and different lactic acid bacteria than in the control. This results show that the use of flour ferment with seed mash and lactic acid bacteria in making bread will enhance bread flavour.

This study was carried out to determine the rheological properties of bread doughs containing flour-ferments prepared with seed mash obtained by Koji incubation, yeast, and lactic acid bacteria, using farinograph, extensograph, amylograph, and large scale-dough mixer. According to farinograph, the addition of the flour-ferments did not influence the water-absorption rate of doughs, regardless of the kinds of flour-ferments, however, it increased development time and decreased stability of doughs. According to extensograph, both dough resistance and resistance-to-extensibility ratio increased with the addition of flour-ferments. Especially the dough containing the flour-ferments prepared with seed mash, S. cerervisiae, and L. brevis showed the highest resistance-to-extensibility ratio. According to amylograph, although the doughs containing the flour-ferments did not show the differences in gelatinization temperature and temperature at maximum viscosity with the control which does not contain the flour-ferments, they showed lower maximum viscosity than the control. They also showed lower development value and faster development time.

Liquid-state fermentation of Monascus koji was performed using 10% honey as the nutrient source. The rheological characteristics of flour doughs with added red koji broth were evaluated and revealed the following results. The falling number which represents the paste characteristics decreased, as the amount of added red koji broth increased. Adding 10% broth resulted in a falling number of $363{\pm}7.8s$ and with 20% it was $318{\pm}2.1s$. In the measurement of gelatinization using a rapid visco analyzer, increasing the red koji broth decreased peak viscosity, peak viscosity time, holding strength, final viscosity and set-back values, but initial pasting temperature and breakdown value increased. In the farinograph measurements, no significantly different absorption was found between the control and the treatments, and the results were 64.3-65.0%. The consistency and tolerance index of the doughs were higher in the treatments than the control. Increasing the broth addition ratio increased the measurement values, however development time and time to break down the doughs decreased. Stability also decreased and adding 20% broth resulted in a 9.3 min development time, and adding 40% broth resulted in a 3.0 min development time. In the alveographic analysis, the $P_{max}$ (overpressure) value of the control was 158.0 mm. $P_{max}$ value increased to 190.0 mm after adding 40% broth. However the values of L, G and W were higher in the control. As a result, little influence on dough rheology was observed by adding red koji broth 20%.

This study examined the factors that affect the relationship between radish liquid naturally fermented bread selection motive, consumer attitude and purchase intention. A total of 300 questionnaires were distributed to the consumers, of which 279 were deemed suitable for analysis after the removal of 21 unusable responses. In order to perform statistical analyses required in the study, SPSS 18.0 statistical program was employed for frequency analysis, factor analysis, and reliability analysis, correlations, regression analysis. The results of exploratory factor analysis showed that four factors regarding naturally fermented bread selection motive were extracted from all measurements with a KMO of 0.735 and a total cumulative variance of 65.759 %, with regard to consumer attitude, one factor was extracted with a total cumulative variance of 72.421% and a KMO score of 0.684. One factor for purchase intention was extracted that accounted for a total cumulative variance of 67.139% and a KMO score of 0.683. All factors were significant at 0.000 and the correlation between variables was significant. Thus, based on the results, the main research hypothesis that identifies the relationships selection motive between consumer attitudes and purchase intetion was adopted.

This study identifies the factors improving bread quality by using fermented liquid dough. Fermented liquid dough, the main part of bread dough, contains yeasts that are prepared in order to enhance the fermentation rate. This study investigates the fermentation rate after mixing dough, the pH of dough, loaf volume, water activity, hardness, and sensory properties of loaf bread samples with different amounts of fermented liquid dough. The fermentation rate was slightly higher in the bread samples, the control dough and 10% fermented liquid dough, than in samples with more than 20% dough. The pH values of dough decreased with an increase in the content of fermented liquid dough. The loaf volume of bread with 10% fermented liquid dough was the highest. The water activity of loaf bread increased with an increase in amount of fermented liquid dough. For the sensory evaluation of loaf bread, adding 10% fermented liquid dough improved the loaf volume and evenness of baking. These results suggest that 10% fermented liquid dough increased the fermentation rate and bread quality. Further research is required to enhance internal quality characteristics of loaf bread, including taste and flavor.

The purpose of this study was to manufacture white bread by substituting bakery yeast with natural starter. The general composition of wild grape, was 81.22% moisture, 0.81% ash, 0.74% crude fat, 1.58% crude protein, and 15.65% carbohydrate contents. Fermented wild grape extract was made by culturing for 4 days at $25^{\circ}C$. Flour was added three times to fermented wild grape extract and incubated for 36 hours at $20^{\circ}C$ to manufacture sourdough. We investigated the quality characteristics of white bread with different amounts of fermented wild grape sourdough. The pH of dough decreased with increasing amounts of sourdough, whereas total titratable acidity of dough significantly increased. Fermentation power of dough expansion significantly increased with increasing incubation time, and control showed the highest value of 126.67%. White bread specific volume was highest in, 50% sourdough at 4.76 mL/g. Water content increased with increasing amounts of sourdough, whereas water activity was not significantly different between the samples. For texture, hardness of 50% sourdough was lowest at 19.23 g. In the sensory evaluation, color, flavor, softness and overall acceptability decreased with increasing amounts of sourdough. As a result, 50% sourdough can be considered as a baker's yeast substitute for making natural fermented 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.

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.
