Wheat is a very popular crop in all over the world due to the various use of wheat flour as staple foods, such as bread. As many food products are made from wheat, the property of wheat can be a determinant of the quality of final food products. Staled bread is not harmful to health but is normally rejected by consumers due to the absence of desirable sensory attributes. The phenomena of staling can be increased hardness of bread, the migration of moisture from center of bread to the crust of bread, loss of flavor and etc. The exact mechanism of staling has not been established completely. To delay or prevent staling, either addition of anti-staling agent, such as surfactant and enzyme or modification of wheat component, such as wheat starch has been adapted. The development of waxy wheat made it possible to reconstitute the starch component in bread. When the content of amylopect in was increased in bread, the loss of moisture was decreased and the reduction in softness of bread was decreased during storage. Increased retrogradation of starch did not always accompany the staling of bread indicating that the retrogradation of starch may not be a single indicator of bread staling. To find out the exact relationship between bread staling and starch retrogradation, further research is necessary.

Bread is an essential food consumed worldwide. Bread rapidly loses its desirable texture and flavor qualities associated with freshness through a process known as staling. The shelf life of bread is limited by this staling leading to economical losses in the range of one billion dollars per year. There are a number of mechanisms thought to be related to the staling process, such as water migration and redistribution, starch retrogradation, and gluten transformation. In this review, roles of water and water migration on bread staling are summarized and discussed.

Staling rates of cooked rice from Akibare (Japonica) and Milyang 23 (Indica) stored at $21^{\circ}C$ and $72^{\circ}C$ were analyzed using the expression ${\theta}={\exp}\;(-kt^n)$, where ${\theta}$ in the fraction of uncrystallized material remaining after time t. The values for the rate constant (k) indicated that the firming process for both rices was not dependent on the variety, but was dependent on the storage temperature. The Avrami exponent (n) was found to be unity at two temperatures, suggesting that the staling of cooked rice is characterized by instantaneous nucleation followed by rod-like growth of starch crystals.

Propolis extract was added to white bread(P1-1.48%, P2-0.74%, P3-0.37%), prepared in the straight-dough method, and its effects on shelf-life, antimicrobial activity, staling and sensory evaluation of white bread were investigated. In all P1, P2 samples, added propolis inhibited the growth of fungi, and the more propolis extract was added, the higher degree of inhibition of fungal growth was observed. The staling rates of white breads with P1, P2 and P3 were retarded by 22.5%, 19.2% and 6.4% respectively compared to that of control, and the Avrami exponent was similar in all samples. As a result of sensory evaluation, flavor, off-flavor, texture and overall acceptability of P2 and P3 were not significantly different from that of control.

To investigate the effect of flour brew with bifidobacteria on bread characteristics, flour brew with bifidobacteria was added to baking after 16 hour incubation at 37oC. The more addition of flour brew, the higher gassing power, the better machinality of dough were obtained, resulting in the larger specific volume of bread. Flavor profile analyzed by Electronic Nose System showed that flavor components of 30% flour brew were decreased comparing with those of control and there was shown definite difference in sensory characteristics between them. Staling studies of bread containing flour brew indicated had a definite effect in retarding the staling rate of bread, with time constant calculated in 30% treatment being 3.09 days and in control being 2.08 days. The enthalphy of gelatinization was decreased from 2.51J/g to 0.61J/g with increment of flour brew, suggesting that starch crystallization is delayed. conclusion, Flour brew fermented by bifidobacteria can be used as a natural bread improver with so many benefits as better machinality, one more day storage period, slower staling rate, better bread volume and more appealing bread flavor.

Barley (variety, Bangsa No. 6) was milled on a stone mill with 60% flour extraction. Rheological and baking properties of composites containing 5 and 10% of the barley flour with wheat flour (11.4% protein) were investigated. As the barley flour level was increased, amylograph paste viscosities increased at all reference points and farinograph stability decreased. However, no significant differences were noted in the proportional number measured with extensigraph with the various flours. Loaf volume and the staling rate of bread decreased and increased respectively as the barley flour level was increased.

Rheological properties of the dough added with milk proteins and gums was studied to investigate the possibilities as anti-staling agents. Also, physical properties of the resultant bread baked from the frozen dough after 8 weeks of storage at $-20^{\circ}C$ were examined. The 4 sets of their combinations of milk proteins and gums, $casein-{\kappa}-carrageenan$ (CK), casein-sodium alginate (CA), $whey-{\kappa}-carrageenan$ (WK), and whey-sodium alginate (WA), were added to dough to examine their possible anti-staling effects. Rheological properties of dough were evaluated, and physical properties of resultant bread baked from frozen dough after 8 weeks storage at $-20^{\circ}C$ were examined. Addition of all treatments increased gelatinization temperature and water absorption, and lowered miximum viscosities and extension of doughs, compared to the control. Doughs added with CA and WA showed longer development times than that of the control. Addition of WK and WA resulted in lowest dough extensions. Treated bread showed lower moisture content decrease during storage at $5^{\circ}C$ for 4 days. Breads baked with frozen doughs after 6 weeks storage at $-20^{\circ}C$ showed similar results. Although textural hardness of breads increased with storage at $5^{\circ}C$, CA- and WA-added breads were less affected, showing they effectively retarded staling of breads.

A study was undertaken to examine the effect of the addition of dietary fiber on quality attributes of cakes during 12-days storage period at $21^{\circ}C$. Moisture content, degree of gelatinization and hardness determinations were carried out. Addition of dietary fiber increased water holding capacity and decreased hardness and staling rate. Crumb color and sensory quality of cakes with and without dietary fiber was not significantly different.

When bread making, the condition of thawing-fermentation for frozen dough were tested in variable temperature, and measured thawing-fermentation time and volume of frozen dough. L-Ascorbic acid (L-Aa) was added in frozen dough for the comparison test of develop volume in bread staling degree of baking bread were measured additive frozen dough which was stoppages in freezing, staling degrees were tested hardness with Rheometer. The test for comparison of thawing-fermentation time in variable temperature was shown the condition of dough conditioner at 3$0^{\circ}C$ was most effective for bread making, Because That condition was required very short time(74 min) But, in this comparison of volume in final products was shown the products in the condition of thawing-fermentation at 3$0^{\circ}C$ was smaller than the products at 5$^{\circ}C$(418 ml). The baking volume of L-Aa additive frozen dough which has under gone thawing-fermentation at 3$0^{\circ}C$, were shown baking volume of 420 ml in 2 weeks storage terms to 100 mg/kg L-Aa additive dough and shown baking volume of 454 ml in 4 weeks storage terms to dough of 200 mg/kg additive weight. Staling degrees of L-Aa additive frozen bread were measured with Rheometer. The hardness of 100 mg/kg L-Aa additive frozen bread was sown low level hardness in 1~2 weeks freezing term, 150 mg/kg L-Aa additive frozen bread was shown low level hardness in 3 weeks freezing term. In 4 weeks freezing term, 200 mg/kg L-Aa additive frozen bread was shown low level hardness compared with non-additive L-Aa frozen bread. In comparison of frozen bread quality, non-additive L-Aa products was better than additive L-Aa products in equality of baking shape and external apparence. But in total quality in external and internal apparence, additive L-Aa products was better than non-additive L-Aa products.
