The influence of two process parameters (starter and fermentation period) on sourdough bread qualities was investigated. Bifidobacterium longum/Enterococcus faecium/Lactobacillus acidophilus (a mixed culture) was used as a starter. The five production conditions tested were: Control (sourdough fermentation with yeast); LAB 1(fermentation with mixed culture); LAB 2 (fermentation with yeast and mixed culture, respectively); LAB 3 (fermentation with yeast and mixed culture); and LAB 4 (first fermentation with yeast and mixed culture, respectively, followed by a second fermentation using the combination). The LAB 4 process showed the most favorable fermentation characteristics upon CrumbScan analysis, and the highest specific bread volume (5.14 mL/g). These results were reflected in the sensory evaluation of bread produced by the LAB 4 process; the bread achieved an excellent overall acceptance ranking of 3.7. Upon firmness analysis, the LAB 2, LAB 3, and LAB 4 bread figures were 113.67 g, 111.97 g, and 113.50 g, respectively. Thus, the firmness of LAB 2, LAB 3, and LAB 4 bread was higher than that of the control (93.20 g), although the aroma compounds of bread produced by the five processes did not differ. These results show that LAB 4 bread had improved sourdough properties, compared to control.

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.

In this study, the influence of mixed starter compositions using Saccharomyces cerevisiae and three mixed probiotics, including Bifidobacterium longum, Enterococcus faecium, and Lactobacillus acidophilus on sourdough and bread preparation was examined. The following probiotic and yeast mixing ratios were used: Exp. 1, probiotics:yeast=2.0:0.1; Exp. 2, 1.5:0.1; Exp. 3, 1.0:0.1 (g/g). Starters for the sourdough preparation were incubated separately for 15 hr, combined, then further incubated for 10 hr. Exp 2 resulted in an increase in the numbers of probiotics and yeast in sourdough by 100 times but reduced pH. This is also reflected by the extent of the acidity increase in sourdough produced in Exp. 2. Among the three groups, bread volume and crumb elongation increased in Exp. 2, but crumb fineness and aroma compounds were not significantly different. In a sensory evaluation, flavor, taste, and overall acceptance for the sourdough produced in Exp. 2 improved markedly.

Salt, one of the main ingredients to make bread, functions differently according to environmental changes such as usage levels and methods. We examined the effects of yeast soaking time in about 8% salt solution on gas production and fermentation rate of dough and characteristics of white bread. Gas retention, related to gas production and fermentation rate, was the best at the 45 min soaking time. And pH of dough was appropriate to the fermentation in the range of 15 to 45 min of soaking time. Volume and specific volume of bread were best in 45 min soaking time(p<0.001), but the hardness of crumb texture analyzed with TA was the hardest among the samples(p<0.001). Brightness of color(L value) was significantly affected by soaking time(p<0.001), but b value was not considered. According to the preference test, the white pan bread made with 45 min soaking time in salt solution was preferred the most.

The principal objective of this study is to develop the optimal recipe for muffins prepared with replacement of sucrose with xylitol. The effect of xylitol on properties of muffins was evaluated in terms of height, volume, weight, specific volume, baking loss rate, crumbScan, colorimeter, sensory evaluation, and staling of muffins during storage days(0, 1, 3, 5 days) was measured by texture analyzer. Hardness of muffins was increased by adding xylitol, significantly during storage. Lightness(L value) of crust was increased significantly as the contents of xylitol increased. According to sensory evaluation, the muffins(control group) without xylitol had highest score in appearance and texture. In flavor, taste and overall acceptance, muffins with 25% of xylitol showed the best result but were not significant between the muffins(control group).

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.
