Effects of ${\alpha}-amylases$ and emulsifiers on characteristics of frozen bread dough were examined during 12 weeks of storage. Fungal or bacterial ${\alpha}-amylase$ and various emulsifiers, including monoglyceride (MG), sodium stearoyl-2-lactylate (SSL), and diacetyltartaric acid ester of mono- and diglycerides (DATEM), were added to frozen dough individually and as mixtures Height of frozen dough at maximum development time, total volume of $CO_2$ gas, and retention volume increased with increasing content of emulsifiers. indicating addition of enzymes and emulsifiers had significant effect on flexibility of starch-gluten complex in dough. Frozen dough made with bacterial ${\alpha}-amylase$ showed slightly higher pH during storage than that of frozen dough with fungal ${\alpha}-amylase$. Bread made from frozen dough prepared with both enzymes and emulsifiers showed lower specific loaf volume than that of control during storage, whereas highest specific loaf volume was obtained with addition of fungal ${\alpha}-amylase$ with SSL+MG and bacterial ${\alpha}-amylase$ with MG.

Fresh bakery products are widely consumed worldwide and therefore particular requirements for their quality characteristics have been established. The shelf life of bakery products is mainly subjected to microbial spoilage and staling. This study investigated the optimum conditions of modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) application to extend the shelf life of the bakery products. The gas conditions of the headspace in 'Baumkuchen' cake were 0, 30, 70, and 100% CO₂ concentrations and stored at 30℃ for 5 days. The bakery samples were evaluated weight loss, hardness, color change, pH and total aerobic bacteria, yeast and molds count throughout the storage period. Values of the weight loss and hardness were increased over the storage period, meanwhile pH was significantly decreased. However, no significant color changes were observed during storage. It was also found no significant difference between the different gas treatments. Total aerobic bacteria count of the stored samples after day 5 was increased by 6.94 log CFU/g in the air filled package, compared to 6.20 log CFU/g in the 100% CO₂ filled package and 6.02 log CFU/g in the 70% CO₂ filled package. Yeast and molds count were 3.65 log CFU/g in air filled package, 2.66 log CFU/g in 100% CO₂ filled package, 2.64 log CFU/g in 70% CO₂ filled package, 2.86 log CFU/g in 30% CO₂ filled package and 3.31 log CFU/g in 100% N₂ filled package on day 2. In conclusion, it was shown that 70% and 100% CO₂ treatments in the package were effective to reduce microbial growth.

Zearalenone (ZEA) is an estrogenic mycotoxin mainly produced by Fusarium graminerum, a species which colonizes a wide variety of cereals, including wheat, barley and processed products. A survey of ZEA contamination was conducted on 141 dried confectioneries, 59 breads and rice cakes, 135 noodles and 101 other products, for a total of 432 commercial samples. Samples were analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection (HPLC-FLD) after immunoaffinity clean-up and was confirmed by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LCMS/MS). The limits of detection and quantification were 2.0 and $6.0{\mu}g/kg$, respectively. The recovery ranged from 80.2% to 98.4% in the cereal based product. ZEA was detected in 38 samples (8.8% incidence), including 3 snack, 2 biscuit and 33 other cereal products. The ZEA contamination levels were in the range of $5.38-53.76{\mu}g/kg$. Finally, LC-MS/MS analysis of the contaminated samples was conducted to confirm the detected ZEA, and all 38 samples showing ZEA by HPLC-FLD were confirmed by LC-MS/MS.

In efforts to use pine needle extract as a substitute for sugar, fermented pine needle extract syrup was added to the wheat flour nea in the manufacture of white bread The extract was added to levels of 8.3%, 11% and 18% of total weight based on the Brix degree of the dough The cohesion of each dough was checked, and the physical properties and storage stabilities of the baked breads were analyzed during storage at mom temperature. Analysis of the cohesion of each dough by farinogram showed that dough with pine needle extract was better than dough with sugar, in terms of both stability and durability of mixing. The pH of dough with syrup was steady during storage at pH 5.4 5.8, which is favorable for yeast activity. The dough with syrup also showed low firmness and good extensibility, both of which would favorably affect gas retention on fermentation. Increases in syrup addition resulted in higher product volumes. Bread with syrup was slow to increase in hardness during storage, suggesting that higher syrup concentrations inhibited development of staleness. The addition of syrup also inhibited the growth of aerobic bacteria and mold on the bread surface. The addition of syn did not cause any negative effect. The use of pine none extract syrup may thus contribute to improvements the physical properties, the storage stability, and the hygienic quality of 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 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.

The effects of sour liquid ferments with lactic acid bacteria on the baking properties and qualities of White Pan Bread were studied. The mixed culture of Lactobacillus brevis and Lactobacillus plantarum had higher acid equivalents and lower pH-values than single or mixed culture of other lactic acid bacteria which had been used for traditional sour dough bread. Optimum conditions of the incubation of lactic acid bacteria, which are incubation temperature time and culture medium compositions for lactic fermentation, were also investigated to find out optimum activity for good bread making. The mixed culture of L. brevis and l. plantarum incubated for 24 hours at 3$0^{\circ}C$ had the most optimum activity for bread manufacturing process and the qualities of the products. The addition of sour liquid ferments to the sponge dough effected on fermentation activity of the sponge dough to lower the level of pH to 4.64 and to produce more total titratable acidity(TTA) of 0.545, whereas conventional sponge dough bread had 0.46% of TTA. On comparison with control bread, the bread made with sour liquid ferments was found to have better specific volume, taste, symmetry, especially, organoleptic characteristics due to lactic acid, acetic acid and amino acid produced by lactic acid bacteria. Sour dough bread with liquid ferment was considered to be more effective to the inhibition of staling during storage for 6 days at $25^{\circ}C$ and to have longer shelf-than control.

The effects of various enzymes and emulsifiers on the loaf volume and crumb hardness of rice breads were studied. Four different enzymes [fungal ${\alpha}$-amylase (AMYL), maltogenic bacterial ${\alpha}$-amylase (NMYL), glucose oxidases (GO), and xylanase+hemicellulases (PTP)] and four emulsifiers [sorbitan monostearate (SMS), glycerol monostearate (GMS), sodium stearoyl lactylate (SSL), and glycerol ester+propylene glycol ester+sucrose ester+sorbitan ester (SP)] were supplemented to rice dough. The addition of AMYL, GO, and GO+AMYL increased loaf volume of rice breads. The highest loaf volume was observed in rice bread supplemented with AMYL. Rice breads supplemented with enzymes firmed at lower rates during storage, and AMYL, NMYL, and GO considerably decreased crumb hardness of rice breads, exhibiting a significant antistaling effect. The addition of emulsifiers produced rice breads with better specific loaf volume and crumb texture, and continuously retarded crumb hardness of rice breads during storage. Especially, rice bread supplemented with SSL demonstrated the highest loaf volume and the lowest crumb hardness during storage.

This study was conducted to investigate the shelf-life and quality of breads made with 0.5, 1 and 2% of Myagropsis myagroides fermented ethanol extracts (MOE). The total microbial count in breads made with 2% MOE decreased to about 1.6 log cycles as compared to that of breads not containing MOE. The protection index measured by rancimat increased with an increase in the quantity of MOE in the breads. During the storage period, the pH value was not different between breads containing MOE and breads not containing MOE. The lightness and redness of the breads decreased with an increase in the quantity of MOE, while the yellowness increased. In the sensory evaluation, the breads containing 0.5% MOE were more preferred than the breads not containing MOE. These results suggest that the addition of 0.5% MOE to breads has a good effect on improving the shelf-life and overall quality.
